Chapter 219 Keep Busy
Amanda’s POV:
Suddenly, a bell went off in my head. Today is Wednesday!
Every week at this time, I have to give him Isnes language lessons.
As soon as I remembered, I quickly waved at the two brothers. “I just remembered something. I’m going upstairs first.”

The words had barely left my mouth before I turned and dashed toward the stairs, not even bothering to respond to Josh’s shout of, “The soup’s almost ready!”
Once inside the room, I closed the door behind me and hastily pulled out my phone to check the messages, scrolling through, but there was nothing from Samson.
Strange. Normally, by this time, he would have already sent a message about class.
I stared at the screen for a few seconds, my fingers hovering over the input box before pulling back.
Forget it. A man like him, with all the daily business at the Operations Department, probably got tied up with something urgent.
Thinking that, I tossed the phone onto the bed and turned to organize the training notes I hadn’t finished yesterday. If he finished his work he would naturally come find me.
Samson’s POV:
Watching Amanda disappear at the staircase, a strange heat surged in my chest.
Josh was still beside me, grinning foolishly. “Sanson, what happened just now? Your face is as black as coal,”
I ignored him and turned toward the garden, leaving him dumbfounded in place.
I fished a cigarette pack from my pocket, bit the cigarette, lit it, and inhaled deeply before exhaling. Smoke rings floated in the sunset, but I could see in my mind was that scene just now-Amanda being hugged by Josh, smiling helplessly. Their closeness was such an eyesore.
I hadn’t even finished half the cigarette when I impatiently pressed it into the stone table beside me, the sparks flaring briefly and dying out.
I reached into my pocket to feel the car keys pressing against my hand, then it hit me—today is Wednesday, the day for Ishnesh language lessons. I almost completely forgot.

I hurried back to the bedroom, tossed the files onto the desk, and immediately turned on the computer to log in.
The moment the screen lit up, I opened the chat window with Sara and typed, “Are you there?”
While waiting for a reply, the image of Ms. Airel popped into my mind again-her eyes, her tone of voice, how could she resemble Sara so much?
This thought had been nagging me for days, getting more confusing the more I thought
about it.
The computer chimed. Sara had replied. “Been waiting for you a while. Why are you late today?”
I exhaled in relief, took off my coat, and headed to the bathroom. The shower ran hot, and the tension in my body finally eased. Less than ten minutes later, I stepped out, towel-drying my hair.
Sitting at the computer, drying my hair and, opening the video window, Sara’s avatar was already lit.
those Ishnesh grammar is intricate, but following along helps temporarily push away troubling thoughts. An hour flew by, and when I closed the study interface, I realized the sweat in my palms had dried.
My fingers paused over the keyboard. I opened the private message box and typed, “I heard some good materials arrived in Alexandria. Interested?”
Less than half a minute after sending, the computer popped up a new notification. Sara replied, “Sure. Where?”
I stared at the two words. The tension around my mouth finally relaxed a little. I immediately typed the coordinates. “Ten a.m. tomorrow. Shall we go check it out together?”
The reply came even faster this time. A thumbs up emoji appeared on the screen.
I closed the computer and leaned back. When I retched, my bones were lightly creaking.
Standing up and stepping onto the balcony, the evening breeze hit me, and I finally felt some
of the restlessness case.
