Her heart was even more unsettled now. But she didn\u2019t want to show too much worry-she didn\u2019t want him to feel burdened. Meanwhile, on the other side, Winnie was still at the Morrison Group HQ, working late. She really didn\u2019t have the natural talent her mother had. Although she was familiar with the techniques, she was always a step behind others. Her progress on the internship assessment goals was still less than ten percent.<\/p>\n<p>After discovering yet another failed experiment, Winnie slumped in her chair, overwhelmed by frustration, wishing she could just vanish on the spot. Maybe she really didn\u2019t belong at Morrison Group She turned to the window and saw that all the surrounding buildings had already gone dark. Closing her eyes, she rested briefly before dragging herself downstairs, utterly exhausted. Her phone buzzed. It was a call from Michael.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The moment she answered, his voice overlapped from her ear and back, \u201cJust finished work?\u201d \u2014- \u201cMichael\u2026\u201d Winnie immediately turned around and hung up the call, a bit surprised and delighted. \u201cWhat are you\u2026\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s go. It\u2019s too late-I\u2019ll take you home.\u201d Michael was still in his suit, a faint scent of alcohol clinging to him, looking like he had just wrapped up work. Indeed, he had temporarily returned to Goldmont for Morrison Group today, putting aside other tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Michael was good at adjusting to the situation; this afternoon, he had almost missed an important business negotiation, but by working late, he managed to handle itin time. How did you know | was still working here?\u201d Winnie asked curiously once inside the car. She hadn\u2019t told him her exact work hours-what a coincidence. Michael replied, \u201cNext time you work late without posting anything, | probably won\u2019t know.\u201d Winnie remembered with a start-she had only sent a little sigh emoji earlier. She fell silent.<\/p>\n<p>Michael had brought her something: he pointed to the center console, where a cup of hot drink and a box of \u2014- pastries sat She happened to be hungry and didn\u2019t hesitate to open it. The drink was chocolate, her favorite, and the pastries were savory- crispy beef buns. \u201cWhere is this from? It tastes so familiar\u2026 like that snack shop near school.\u201d She paused, surprised. That had been the little shop she and Michael often went to. She loved its savory treats, and most of their meetings had started there.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, when she felt upset at home, she\u2019d go late at night to eat, because the shop stayed open from afternoon until midnight But this shop was so far from here-Michael couldn\u2019t have gone all that way just to buy it for her, could he? \u201cHotel,\u201d Michael said casually. \u201cI thought it tasted a bit like the old place we used to go to, so! brought some over,\u201d he added. Winnie nodded, chewing on the crispy beef bun, thoughtful Once she swallowed, she said, \u201cThank you\u2026 You remembered what I liked to eat.\u201d Michael glanced at her.<\/p>\n<p>She handled the food so carefully, afraid even a crumb would fall in his car. Seeing her so obedient, his heart suddenly felt a swirl of emotions. \u2014- The old Winnie had never been described as \u201cobedient.\u201d No matter what he did, he probably wouldn\u2019t have even heard a single \u201cthank you.\u201d But today, when she had seen him off at Morrison Group, she had repeated those words over and over. Michael thought wryly, \u2018I was helping my cousin. Isn\u2019t it me who. should be saying \u201cthank you\u201d instead?<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
