Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 84

After work, I returned home with Selena. Since she insisted on others supporting her project, she took charge of the preparations.

As her assistant, I was responsible for doing basic market research and contacting the partner company. While it seemed straightforward, it was much more challenging than expected. Having been away from work for over a month, the sudden intensity was overwhelming for me.

As I reclined on the couch, Selena headed upstairs to take a shower. Before long, Sylvia called me while I was dozing off. "Hudson, I'm glad you finally answered. I thought you didn't want to talk to me anymore. I called multiple times, but you didn't pick up at all."

After Sylvia mentioned this, I realized she had indeed called me several times. Since I was at work, my phone was on silent, and I only noticed her call when the screen lit up. "I just got off work. I missed your call because my phone was on silent. I'm sorry. Please don't be upset."

Sylvia snorted. Then, she happily shared her experiences from today. I enjoyed her animated storytelling, but the unexpected arrival of Selena dimmed the mood.

I was taken aback when Selena suddenly appeared before me. Realizing there was still some distance between us, I swiftly ended the call. She stood there, her hair damp.

I frowned and quickly messaged Sylvia. "There's a meeting I need to attend. Go to bed early."

"Selena, why are you here suddenly?" I asked after setting my phone aside.
