Chapter 170: He Hadn’t Slept
(Arata)
Stella and I slept rather late after I told her about Azul and how things were going with Karsten. But I skipped the part about living with him.
She was still sleeping when I woke up to leave for the office. Grabbing a quick breakfast, I left my apartment to head to the office.
Caysir was waiting for me. He opened the door and I slid inside, strapping myself in.
We began to move and my eyes focused on the huge billboards our company had put up for the Winter Gala.
The red theme mingled with white flashed on huge screens with the company’s logo and I could already sense the event was going to be huge.
Every Media outlet in the city had been invited to the Winter Gala along with prominent celebrities and heads of other companies. The orders would certainly fly in after today.
We arrived at the office and to my surprise, Karsten was waiting for me with both his hands in his pockets.
My chest achingly tightened seeing him appear so dishevelled. His appearance left me slightly aghast as I let myself out of the car and ambled towards him.
He was still wearing yesterday’s clothes; his perfect hair was a mess, and the white of his eyes was lined with red.
The man hadn’t slept a wink the whole night. Some of the seriousness on his face melted away, seeing me approach him but that tired look didn’t fade.
