He was indeed tired. Today's journey was a round trip, where he did not allow a moment to take a pause just to close his eyes to reduce fatigue. He was racing against time as well as his goal. Don't let all the plans that have been arranged in his head, fall apart.
"Mom?" asked Austin in surprise. As he stepped into the house, his mother was still awake. Sitting quietly accompanied by Maria and a cup of tea and some snacks. "You're not asleep yet?"
Kate looked up and smiled slightly. "Couldn't sleep." She patted the couch at her side. "Sit down. Let Maria make you some tea."
Austin took a hesitant step. In the past few months, his communication and the way he treated his mother had been poor. He realized that. He did it all because he wanted to make Calysta comfortable while living with him here. Calysta's status was no longer that of an illicit lover, but that of his chosen wife. Which the mother should have appreciated, right?
But now?

"How was the briefing yesterday?" asked Austin without slowing down his wide stride towards the room where he worked. At ten o'clock this morning, there were many things to discuss with Richard. And before the time came, he had to finalize a few things first."It went well, sir." Jacob said excitedly. "All the things discussed with the production and marketing teams have gone off without a hitch.""What about the model? No objections?"Jacob shook his head immediately. Although his boss did not see it firsthand, it did not matter to the man who was excited this morning. Though the odner of reports he had to work on was not small which took up his time and energy. But talking about what happened yesterday, he had plenty of energy. "Mrs. Jane is fine with the concept we want." Jacob continued to follow Austin's big steps which did not slow down at all. It was as if he was on a time crunch with so many things to catch up on. Jacob tried not to fall behind."

"Prepare yourself, we're going to Milan tonight."It was a good thing Richard had swallowed his coffee. Otherwise, he might have spewed the contents of his mouth right into Austin's face. But he really wanted to be able to do that, anyway. Once in a while shouldn't be a problem considering how much work he had to do for Goojoo and this stupid guy."You're crazy!" snapped Richard in disgust. "I have a date with Ursula tomorrow. I released her today because she wanted to be with Mrs. Jane. You know, he never wants to miss out on the fun with your ex-wife.""Can you not bring that woman's name up here?"Richard grumbled in annoyance. "You don't want me to say her name, but you need her help. Think with a sane head, Austin."The man sitting in front of Richard chose to read the report submitted just now. Most of them contained the bills of lading and evidence of the exchange that took place at the port. In the absence of this evidence, they could do no

Richard stepped lightly out of Austin's office. Occasionally responding to the friendly greetings directed at him. Frequent pacing around Austin's office, made Richard a little familiar with some of the faces there.While waiting for the elevator to take him down, he used the time to call his spoiled girlfriend. Somehow hearing Sula's voice kept his energy at one hundred percent."Hi, honey," Richard greeted as soon as his phone got a response. Boisterous voices and laughter sounded as accompaniment. "Looks like you're having fun?"Sula laughed, "Sort of. Don't you want to catch up? They're fine and I just found out that Fabian has such a beautiful place. What a boss!"Richard chuckled at Ursula's complaint. "I'd love to be with you but I can't just leave work. You don't mind, do you?""Have I ever complained?" asked Sula in a slightly annoyed voice. "I hope all your work can go smoothly and that you can complete it as well as possible.""Si

"Bye, Sula," Giselle squealed the loudest. Not because she was the most excited that Ursula was being picked up by her boyfriend on her way to Milan. But because her best friend was going to spend the night without them. Jane had promised a delicious dinner that they could enjoy on the beach. Plus Fabian had bought a lot of fish and other seafood ingredients."You're such a bitch, Giselle!" Ursula glared in disapproval. "Just watch out for you later.""Oops!" Giselle laughed. "Hurry up and leave. Missing the plane will be a hassle."Richard just laughed as they all teased his girlfriend who sat with her face bent. His hands were folded on his chest in exasperation. Also, his eyes glanced at his friends several times. As if she had no intention of replying to their taunts about food."Olive's baked potatoes are the best in the world, Sula." Harvey chimed in with a taunt for Ursula."Come on, honey. We'd better get away from them." Ursula quickly clo

Calysta returned home with hurried steps. She even carried her high shoes so as not to make it difficult for her to walk to Austin's office. She had to talk to her husband. What was this all about?Even so, Calysta was also struck with considerable fear. QC Goojoo coming with two policemen was not a trivial matter. They confiscated the goods he was about to vanish from Yookie's warehouse. Tsk! Why did no one pay attention to her concerns in the first place? It was dismissed as a trivial matter because there was no way Goojoo's people would do a search. And now?"Madam, are you home?" asked Poppie with a smiling face. Madame hadn't returned home last night, much to the annoyance of the other maids. Ever since she was asked to serve Calysta personally, she felt that she was above the other servants, that she could say anything that would give her the upper hand."Is my husband home?" she asked as she handed over the shoes she was carrying immediately. "Get me some

We have also sent them to the main warehouse in HolyWing to double-check whether there is any other damage or not, while HolyWing is already running to fulfill the complaint quota. Within a week, we can enter the finishing time. We are speeding up as much as possible for delivery].Austin read the message at almost five in the morning. His head was a little dizzy from lack of sleep. They arrived in Milan at eleven at night and immediately checked in to rest. But Austin couldn't stay still even though he had fallen asleep for a while. Maybe he was so tired he didn't realize time was spinning fast. Maybe it was also because there was so much to take care of, so time felt tight.He immediately typed a short reply message to his subordinate. at least the goods taken from Yookie, he could use to fulfill Milan's demands. It's not that he can't make new production goods,

The talks with Jonathan were uneventful except for his request, which was quite difficult for Austin to fulfill. But at least the man didn't cancel their project. It was considered that this mistake was purely due to an error in delivery. Austin was willing to give a special price because of this negligence. minus saying openly what really happened.It can lose credibility if the client knows what happened. Such things should be minimized."Oiya," Jonathan had been casual all along. This time they were sitting in between banquet meals. "When you messed up a few weeks ago, there was a party that offered cooperation. I saw that the samples sent were good and to our liking. As for the price, I think we can adjust it to the total order quota."Austin listened rather seriously. "Did you check the samples?"Jonathan nodded without hesitation. "Would you like to see it?""If it's allowed, I'd be happy to see it." Austin smiled faintly, but the tail of his

[Geno: I'm sorry Miss Jane, starting tomorrow I've been asked by Lady Calysta to keep an eye on you. So I'll probably be standing by near Madam's house. Please forgive me if I've been rude."]The message came in just as Jane put the baked spaghetti in the oven. This afternoon was their last day together enjoying a free day. Afterward, both Harvey and Giselle went back to their busy lives. Just as she was starting her new project at Goojoo. He hopes to finish his work there soon. Not because other schedules were waiting, but he really didn't want to deal with Goojoo for long."Why are you staring at your phone with a frown on your forehead?" asked Fabian who noticed the change in his girlfriend's expression. It was fine if Jane didn't want to admit it yet. The opportunity for him to get closer to Jane as more than just a friend or boss, he already considered as a green signal that burned brightly.Eventually Jane would recognize that he was the right man to be be
