"It's 3:00 pm."
I looked at Colin and felt powerless for a moment. It was such a rush. Why was everything happening at the same time?
I paused my steps in hesitation.
Professor King must be referring to Dreamlight's Tudor-style project. We had invested a lot of energy and effort into the early stages and made all-around preparations. We had submitted a dozen drafts, and the feedback results had been positive.
Now that there was a sudden change at Dreamlight. We might need to overturn the previous plans.
If that were the case, we might have to start over everything. Our time would become tight, and the difficulty would increase. Professor King's request for my early return demonstrated that he couldn't resolve the issue alone and needed my assistance.
However, he had signed a formal contract with Dreamlight. If the other party suddenly made unexpected adjustments, it could be regarded as a unilateral breach of contract.
He didn't hold anyone responsible but informed me to return and confront the issue. Did something happen during this period that I wasn't aware of?
Life wasn't only about love but also career.
However, I was concerned about Colin. One of the reasons was that he had recently been through an accident. His body and mind were still in a tense stage. Yesterday and today were merely thoughts that kept him going. I wanted to be by his side. As his girlfriend, I should care for him for another two days.
Another reason was that the scene of him holding another woman always lingered in my mind. I told myself that he would never wrong me. It was also natural for every woman to be envious when they saw their boyfriend hugging someone else and wanted to know more about it. I had to find out about that woman.
It was a pity I didn't have such an opportunity. Things that needed to be faced appeared all at once. Professor King's request was too unexpected. His reason seemed far-fetched, but I didn't dare to question him. What should I do?
I came to a halt on the spot, feeling extremely troubled.
