Chapter 168: Temptations
The next morning, I woke up dreading having to go to work.
I wasn’t sure if Christian would be waiting for me in my office once more, but I couldn’t emotionally handle another argument with him.
Human trafficking... He really couldn’t come up with something more convincing?
My heart still stung from yesterday’s encounter. I really hated how much I cared.
"Second Miss, the driver is waiting for you outside," a maid informed me from the other side of my bedroom door. This was the first time I needed to be reminded to go to work. The first time I would be ’late’.
"Coming," I yelled back, unenthusiastically. With a deep breath, I lifted myself off my bed and walked out.
Let’s get this over with.
The drive over was silent as usual. There was no excitement in my eyes, nor any kind of desire to be there. After the Sophia season launch event, my workload also lessened substantially. My work now mostly consisted of post-event reports and processing paperwork, nothing fun or exciting.
It took us longer than usual to get to the office due to traffic. Since we left a lot later than usual, there were more people out and about, filling the streets.
