Chapter 319: A Thousand Hours.
Some voted that love changes people while some voted that it destroys people and leaves them broken but whichever way or changes it brings, it doesn’t change the fact that you won’t become the same person you once were while in love.
A lot of things about you would change even if it’s minor and drastic and if it should be true love, you see yourself working hard every day to become a better version of yourself for that person.
And that was the case with Nicklaus. From all the years he has spent on Earth, he has never cared about people’s opinion of him but now he does.
Surprisingly, he was standing, staring at the mirror for a moment now. He has always looked his best without trying because he was born handsome. He doesn’t even need to try but right now, he wants to appear his best before Arissa tonight which was his reason for adding all the effort he could channel into everything he prepared for tonight.
It was 4 pm already and he made sure everything had been completed. Now his only focus was on his looks for tonight and for her bedroom.
Appearing his best was his goal for tonight. He first washed his face and dried it with a hand towel before searching in between his toiletries for a particular cream. Reaching for his shaving cream, he applied a portion into his palm and used it on his jawlines.
While waiting for the cream in his jawline to dry off, he walked out of the bathroom. He was about to close the door behind him and walk into the room when he heard his phone beep, signaling a caller.
His brow tightened at the thought of one of the higher-ups members calling him. Fury found themselves at the tip of his tongue. Words of anger to spit out so they would stop their constant calling also prepared themselves.
He reached for his phone on top of his twin sink and when he saw the caller, all emotions created from irritation and anger vanished from him without a trace.
