Chapter 53

Author: Goldfish
After the morning lectures, it was time for lunch. The visitors touring the 511 Institute joined the staff in the cafeteria.

Jasper walked with Amelia toward the dining area.

"Honestly, even after all these years, not much has changed here," he said.

Amelia smiled. "That's true."

The environment remained familiar, but the people had changed drastically.

Amelia rubbed her temples, feeling a bit dizzy. Lately, she had been too busy to rest properly, even skipping meals. Her body was starting

    It all felt like something Amelia could never escape.No matter how hard she tried to avoid it, fate always found its way back to her.Amelia took a slow breath, forcing down the emotions surging inside her. Her voice came out calm, almost cold. "It doesn't matter who gets the credit."She paused, her gaze brushing past Samantha before settling on Christopher again. "In the end, this partnership is for the Academy of Aerospace. It's about making sure the drone project moves forward smoothly. I'll focus on the research. As long as it benefits the Academy, it makes no difference who handles the partnership."After speaking, she didn't look at either of them again before turning away.The hallway lights stretched her long and lonely shadow across the floor.Samantha watched Amelia's resolute figure disappear down the corridor. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something else, but Christopher stopped her.He shook his head, his eyes fixed on the direction Amelia had g

    Rolf looked to be in his fifties. His dress shirt stretched tight over his belly. A greasy smile spread across his face as his gaze lingered over Amelia before he finally spoke. "Ms. Sinclair, sorry to keep you waiting. Traffic was a nightmare."Suppressing the turmoil inside her, Amelia stepped forward with a polite smile and handed him the proposal."Not at all, Mr. Silva. This is our revised procurement plan. Take a look. We've cut our own margins by 5% and shortened the delivery window to 45 days. It should fit perfectly with your project schedule."But Rolf didn't take the proposal.He slowly sipped his drink instead, his gaze drifting toward the window. "Ms. Sinclair, it's not that I don't respect your effort, but I'm afraid this partnership isn't going to happen."The smile on Amelia's face stiffened instantly, her fingertips turning cold. "Is there something in the proposal that doesn't meet your expectations? We can still make adjustments. Whether it's pricing or se

    Amelia shook her head lightly. "I just think relationships should happen naturally. You shouldn't rush into something just to escape the past. My life is peaceful right now. I have Evie, and I have a job I love. That's enough for me."She remembered what Winona had told her that morning."Don't reach out to him, and don't contact him. If he comes around, pretend you don't see him."For the first time in a while, her thoughts suddenly felt clear.Maybe she hadn't been trapped in the past at all. Maybe she simply hadn't met anyone who truly moved her, and Lincoln clearly wasn't that person.Lincoln watched her unmoved expression and knew there was no point in saying more. He could only sigh softly. "Alright. I respect your choice, but I still want you to know that my feelings won't change. If you ever change your mind, or if you run into trouble, you can always come to me."Amelia gave no further response.The private room fell quiet again, filled only with the faint clink of

    Amelia said nothing.Lincoln set down his glass, lightly tracing the rim with his fingertips as his gaze settled on Amelia's tense profile. His voice stayed calm. "Ms. Sinclair, a man like Mr. Zephyr isn't worth holding onto."Amelia paused with her utensils in hand. She didn't look up, only replied softly, "Mr. Spencer, let's discuss the investment details instead. I still need to submit a report to the Academy this afternoon."She deliberately steered the conversation away, unwilling to get tangled up in personal matters again.Especially with Lincoln. Ever since they first met at the resort, his interest in her had made her uneasy.But Lincoln had no intention of dropping the subject. He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on her."As far as the project goes, my team has already coordinated most of the details with the Academy. Once you approve it, the funds can be transferred next week. But work isn't the only reason I asked you here today."He paused before speaking m

    Winona continued, "From now on, remember this: don't reach out to him, and don't contact him. If he comes around, pretend you don't see him. If he wants to play happy couple with Samantha, let him. Whatever he does is none of your business."Winona's words hit Amelia like a splash of cold water, slowly clearing the fog in her mind.After a few seconds of silence, she gave a small nod. "Yeah. I understand now. Thanks, Winona."After hanging up, Amelia took a deep breath. The moment she stepped out of the break room, she heard her coworkers talking nearby."Look, Mr. Zephyr's here. He actually came to have lunch with Ms. Bloom!""Seriously, I'm so jealous. Mr. Zephyr treats Ms. Bloom so well. He's that busy and still made time to eat with her.""Well, of course. They're engaged. Of course, they're all lovey-dovey!"Following everyone's gaze, Amelia saw Christopher walk into the office carrying a carefully packed lunch, heading straight for Samantha's desk.The second Samantha l

    By the time Amelia arrived at the Academy of Aerospace, the parking area outside was already packed with cars.The moment she stepped out of the vehicle, she spotted Samantha standing near the entrance to the office building, as if she had been waiting for her.As soon as she saw Amelia, Samantha hurried over with concern written across her face."Ms. Sinclair, are you okay after last night? You drank so much that I was really worried." She smiled gently. "That's why I specifically asked Chris to stay behind and take care of you. I was afraid you'd feel sick in the middle of the night with nobody there to help."The words "specifically asked Chris" instantly made Amelia uncomfortable.Samantha's tone carried a subtle emphasis, as though Christopher staying behind to care for her had happened with her permission. The concern felt less like kindness and more like charity."Thank you for your concern, Ms. Bloom. I'm fine." Amelia's voice remained calm and detached. "And I appreciate

    Amelia looked at the gown in her hands. "If you don't have money, call your son to come over right now to settle the bill."Lucia chuckled. "Isn't my son your husband? It's the same if you settle the bill on his behalf, so why make him come all the way here? Are you trying to keep his money for you

    Christopher looked so calm, Lucia couldn't figure out what was going through his mind.She held Nathan's hand, frowning. "Chris, there's nothing between you two anyway. Why bother letting pointless news affect your relationship?""So you know about the news, too," Christopher said as he stepped in

    Christopher was bowing to a woman like Amelia and apologizing to her. Why couldn't she humble herself in the same way?Nicole gritted her teeth and looked at Amelia. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Zephyr. I'll be more careful next time."Dorothy looked at Amelia, as though asking if she was pleased with their a

    An alarm was issued for heavy wind and rain.The storm was predicted to last for two hours.Amelia's face fell, and she unbuckled her seatbelt. "Winona, wait here with Evelyn for a while. I'll head down and see if I can hail another car. I'll get my car from the car park, too."She couldn't sit
