Lizzy hurried up the stairs, eager to find Felix. But the lobby required a swipe card to enter, and she was cardless. She had to call Felix.
"Felix, I'm downstairs at your company. Can you come get me, please?"
Felix furrowed his brows, "It's 2 AM. What are you doing here?"
"I made you some soup."
He went downstairs and, sure enough, saw Listina at the entrance. She was wrapped in a white down jacket, coincidentally one that Felix had bought her.
It was a purchase made from his hard-earned savings, marking the first time Listina had worn anything so expensive. She clung to his arm in excitement.
Back then, everything was so innocent, but now it seemed something had been lost and couldn't be found again.
Following him to the top floor of the company, Listina rubbed her hands for warmth, "Feels like the temperature dropped tonight; it's kinda chilly."
Her fingertips were red with cold.
"There's heating in my office."
"Great, I'll head to your office then. Felix, I think I need to get out more; can't be cooped up at home all the time. Could you find me a job here?"
She tried to link arms with him, but Felix instinctively sidestepped. Listina's face fell, but she pretended not to notice.
"I need to overcome my illness. If I meet more people, maybe I'll get better. What if I get more depressed staying home alone?"
After a moment's thought, Felix figured having her around the office wasn’t much of a hassle.
"Come by tomorrow."
"Felix, I knew you were the best!"
She giggled behind him, her lips curling.
They entered his office together. It was indeed warm.
"Here's the soup I made for you. Have some, alright? And you've got bags under your eyes; have you been pulling all-nighters?"
Felix hadn't been eating well lately, working overtime for a couple of days to get home earlier.
"Remember I used to make this soup for you? Have a few sips, and I'll head back."

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
