Mr. Lucas Potter. Hi, this is Chloe. Thank you for coming to the university the other day. Today I send this message with an impertinent request. I heard about the letter from Victor. Could you show me that letter as well? There is something I want to confirm. I am sorry for making such a presumptuous request. I await your reply. Sincerely, Chloe Meyer. The third sleepless night began. I stretched out my hand to check the clock. It was 8 a.m.,…-

Still, at the last moment, before Megan could turn the visitor away, I managed to lift my head from the desk and pick up the intercom. I asked to let the visitor into the room, then cleared my desk as usual and headed for the entrance. "I think it's time I let you come in without having to check every time." I suggested this to my childhood friend, who entered the entrance with ease. He had said he'd come by in the evening, so I expected it to be him. But he arrived much earlier than I expected, not…

I deliberately sipped my cup, savoring the refreshing flavors of green tea and chamomile, then stood up. Passing the glass table and my desk, I opened the door at the back of the office. There, on the bookshelf, was a box I had almost forgotten about. I had been too disgusted to touch it, but having someone to check the contents with made this ordinary beige box seem truly ordinary. Closing the door behind me, I returned to the sofa and placed the box on the table. Under the watchful eyes of the two…

Chapter 5: Promise "I'm telling you!" With another sigh, I ran my hands through my cool blonde curls. "It's true that it's not the typical chair shape that everyone imagines, but at least it serves its purpose as legs, right? Right? This curve is great! And it can hold a lot of weight…" I was so engrossed in my speech that I grabbed the mug on my desk and took a sip, almost unconsciously. On the other side of the desktop screen, which I bought for its design, the other person was as engrossed…

For a while we both waited for the other to speak. It was Maria who broke the silence in the car. "I thought you would notice if I signed my name." "To make an excuse, in my family, except for my mother and me, everyone has a different last name." Realizing the foolishness of my excuse, I quickly added. "And, I just recently learned Alan's last name." Maria had listened to my words with dry eyes, but at the mention of Alan's name, she suddenly burst into tears. In contrast to my…

"You had become incredibly attractive in the two or three years we hadn't seen each other after I graduated from university. The person I thought I needed to protect was no longer there. But I..." Brian let his words trail off. His eyes wandered as if searching for the right words, and then he continued. "Anyway, your concern was painfully overwhelming back then. I relied on you so much that I couldn't think about tomorrow without you." "Brian..." The memories of those hospital days I tried not…

I felt an irrational anger and violently broke his gaze that seemed to take everything away from me. "I care about you too. Besides, even if I don't give you permission now, you're already a big part of my life. We're childhood friends." In response to my words, Brian let out a low growl. "You..." Brian reached out his right hand and grabbed my chin, pronouncing each word. It didn't hurt at all, but I was extremely surprised and very angry at the same time. "What are you doing?" "Even…

The doorbell rang, announcing Brian's arrival. Jerking out of my exhausted lethargy, I made my way to the front door to greet my childhood friend. As soon as I opened the door, I met those familiar blue-gray eyes. Brian's face changed color as he noticed the bandage around my head. "What happened to you?" "I hit my head at work. The hospital made a bit of a fuss about it…" As I tried to reassure him, Brian's face grew stern. He reached out and touched me with a worried hand as I leaned…

"I came here today to make you happy. So if you're not ready, it's okay to look at the design plans later." After all, we're still in the planning stages. The main purpose of today was for me to see the room with my own eyes, and we have time in the schedule. Rather than forcing her to choose from these options, it seemed more appropriate at this stage to learn a bit more about her preferences, what she values, and perhaps even some of her habits that she isn't even aware of. To ease Maria's tension,…

"A sensitive and hysterical pastor-like figure... that's the person you described." I remembered. I had said something like that during their visit that morning. "Of the four people you met, was there anyone who fit that description?" I was a little confused by the question. The faces of Kasim, Chloe, Victor and Ethan flashed through my mind. Were they asking if one of them was the person Alan currently liked? This carefree thought was quickly replaced by a more…
