Arthur’s sharp, handsome features were clouded with frost, hist entire demeanor exuding an icy, oppressive aura. His gaze was frigid as he asked, “How is Mason Reed?”
wob shook his head. “The same as before.”
Arthur sat in the chair, rubbing his temples. He hadn’t been sleeping well lately, managing only an hour or two of sleep a day with the help of medication. At this moment, his head was pounding painfully.
After a moment of hesitation, Jacob ventured, “Should I respond to Ms. Reed?”
“No need.”
Arthur’s tone was cold and detached. “Bring me the aromatherapy.”
Jacob froze. “I’m sorry, Mr. Harrison. We left in such a rush that I didn’t pack it.”
Upon hearing this, Arthur’s piercing gaze immediately pinned him in place.
Jacob dared not meet his eyes and quickly lowered his head in trepidation. “I’ll contact Grace right away and have her ship it
over.”
“Get out,” Arthur said with an unmistakable note of displeasure.

He thought to himself, “When Mr. Harrison doesn’t sleep well. his temper is especially volatile. Ever since meeting with Mrs. Harrison, it’s been even worse.”
The partnership project proposals had been rejected repeatedly, leaving the collaborators at their wit’s end and making Jacob’s life as Arthur’s assistant even harder.

That evening, after finishing dinner with Ava, Charlotte said, “Grandma, I have something to take care of and need to step out for a bit.”
“Go on, don’t worry about me,” Ava replied with a wave of her hand.
“Do you want anything to eat? I can bring it back for you.” Charlotte offered.
Ava thought for a moment. “How about some donuts?”
“Alright, I’ll get you some,” Charlotte said with a warm smile before heading out.
As she exited the hospital, she saw Pete already waiting by his car. He stood casually in a white shirt, his features gentle and refined, his demeanor radiating warmth.
“Let’s go,” Charlotte said as she approached him.
Pete opened the passenger door for her without a second thought. She nodded in thanks and climbed in.

At the restaurant, they gave the name and phone number used for the reservation. A server escorted them to the elevator.
The restaurant was located on the top floor of Century Tower, the tallest building in downtown Camoreham. As the elevator ascended, the height became increasingly apparent, with the city stretching out below them. The night had fallen, and the dazzling lights of the urban landscape unfolded like a luminous painting.
“Bad call,” Pete remarked suddenly.
Charlotte glanced at him in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Pete closed his eyes and admitted, “I’m afraid of heights.”
Charlotte burst out laughing without restraint. “You picked this restaurant yourself. I already made the reservation, so now you have to tough it out and finish the meal.”
