The project Hesper was handling right now was Eustoma's biggest project. Therefore, Pennleigh gave her some time off, telling her to go home to get some rest while getting her thoughts sorted out.
Since there were still some vegetables at home that she bought last night, she still preferred to make herself a meal despite having the cookies she made the night before.
When passing by the next door, she saw the butler again and greeted him through the wrought iron gate. Hesper seemed to have not experienced this kind of neighborly relationship before, but she had never seen the owner of the house next to hers.
However, most people were working outside at this time. Hesper nodded at the butler and then went into the house. Compared to Elise, Juniper would pester Hesper from time to time regarding her dress. Had it not been for her professional ethics, Hesper would have given up since Juniper really annoyed her.
While she was working on her design, she thought of asking Julian to send her some medicine, and then she froze.
She did not receive any messages or news from Julian ever since she came to Fredonia. She had been very busy with various matters, and she had already forgotten his warning.
At that time, Julian told her to stay sharp wherever she went. Honestly, she still could not understand what Julian wanted to tell her.
As if she had made up her mind, Hesper brought her phone out and sent a message to Julian.
[Hesper: Are you not going back to Halwanest any time soon, Ian?]
The conversation she had with Rickard the other night was not entirely useless. At the very least, Hesper was sure that Julian's device was being monitored by someone, and he probably knew about it, which was why he did not say too much to her.
Waiting for a response, Hesper stared at her phone for a while, until she finally saw the "typing" message on the other side.
