Chapter 248: It Was Unsettling
At Lancaster Building
"Boss, you’ve improved with that sketch!" Tyron complimented, glancing at Alexander’s canvases on his office wall. One was the sketch he’d made of Rain sleeping, and the other was her painting.
"But this painting... Ugh, I can’t even tell it’s supposed to be a person!" Tyron added bluntly, shaking his head.
Alexander chuckled, which made Tyron spin around, staring at him with his jaw dropped.
"It’s the first time you didn’t tell me to get out and do my work!" he exclaimed, blinking rapidly as if he couldn’t believe what he saw. "Instead, you just... laughed!"
Alexander shrugged, still smiling. "Well, maybe I’m in a good mood."
Tyron crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes playfully. "Or maybe Mrs. Lancaster’s finally rubbing off on you. She’s a miracle worker!"
Alexander didn’t respond, simply letting a small smile linger as he moved to his desk. He dove into his work with a refreshed spirit, thinking about how Rain had filled his life with unexpected joy.
In such a short time, she’d made him fall even deeper, and he couldn’t imagine his life without her anymore. The thought made his heart feel lighter, and he found himself smiling over the simplest things... things he’d never paid attention to before her.
