I looked at Prism building and asked, “What kind of people usually come here?”
Nora thought about it and replied, “They’re all ministers. Sometimes, it can be used to receive guests. However, this is far from the city and not many people come here. Usually, it’s just a few ministers from Lavelian Village.”
Armond’s appearance was only for a second, so we quickly shook it off. We came to have fun, and so I continued to take pictures of Nora.
We ended up taking photos and exploring all the places that we could. After that, we returned to the hotel late at night and fell asleep after quickly washing up.
The next day, Nora lay on the bed and told me, “I’m not planning on going out today. I want to sleep all I want to pay back my sleep debt.”
I nodded. She came from a rich family and was uninterested in working a normal job. Her father had invested in multiple companies, and she would be able to live comfortably for the rest of her life, even if she never had to work for a single day.
The moment I left the hotel, I received a call from Ashton. His voice was gentle and sweet as he asked, “Are you awake?”
I smiled and answered, “Yes. I’m going to the base now!”
“Have you had breakfast?” he asked.
“I’m going to grab something to eat on the way!” I replied. The hotel did provide breakfast, but I had woken up too early.
He murmured a response and said, “Remember to eat a proper meal!”
I could not help but laugh at his remark. “You’re being too much of a nag, Ashton.”
He was quiet for a few seconds before answering in a deep voice, “I miss you so much, Scarlett.”
Upon that, I was startled for a while and could not help but smile brightly. “I miss you a lot too, Ashton.”
His deep laughter made the rising sun appear even more beautiful.
At that moment, Joseph was already waiting for me at the entrance. I bid goodbye to Ashton on the phone and went in the car.
Joseph gave me a beautiful box and said, “Have some breakfast, Mrs. Fuller!”
I was astonished and asked, “How did you know I haven’t had breakfast?”
He started up the engine and chuckled. “Mr. Fuller gave me a head’s up. I’m here to take care of your meals, after all.”
Okay!
As time went on, I realized that true happiness came from the thoughtfulness of others. Being remembered was the highest form of honor and joy.
