Chapter 269: The New COO
(Karsten)
I couldn’t focus on anything after Arata left. The world appeared dull and uninteresting. Nothing and absolutely nothing felt good.
I waited for her to text me, just send me even a single word. Holding my phone, I would stare at her name for hours, but she never did.
Although Caysir and Hades had been giving me updates on her, I just wanted to hear her voice.
Climbing in my bed, I finally went to sleep after how long, I had no clue...
Roshra pulled back the blinds of my room so the little bit of sunlight could seep in. I squinted with half-opened eyes, my hand shielding me from the morning light, or was it noon? Afternoon?
"Rise and shine, big brother. Stop wallowing in your sorrows." She moved forward and pulled off the quilt from me while huffing.
"Roshraaa!" I warned in a low voice but she didn’t listen.
"Aa! Aa! No excuses. Your company needs you. Do you want it to go bankrupt after you strove so hard to build your empire?"
She narrowed her eyes on me and I was reminded of Ma. Although she wasn’t her biological daughter, she certainly knew how to act like her.
I tried to grab the quilt back so I could just sleep more. I wasn’t even sure how much and for how many days I had been sleeping.
