Three Years of Loving Her Leftovers Chapter 10
Once I was done signing the contract, I wrapped the form-fitting wool coat around myself tightly before leaving Sterling Global's headquarters.Winter in Halvon City was bone-chilling, to say the least. Snowflakes began cascading from the sky, soon landing on the icy road.A man stood in the square outside Sterling Global. It was Glenn, wearing a thin, fraying coat.I heard he was saddled with astronomical debts after his studio went bankrupt. He ended up turning to the bottle just to drown out his pain and sorrows for a very long time, which ultimately led to his nervous system being severely damaged.Glenn's hands, which were once his pride and joy, kept trembling violently against his will. He couldn't even hold the lightest pair of pruning shears properly nowadays.Noticing me, Glenn jolted before stumbling into my way."W-Willow… I saw the news. C-Congratulations on… on securing the contract…"I stopped in my tracks to look at Glenn coldly. To me, he was just a stranger w

Something was definitely polluting the air.I dug out the high-filtration medical mask from my pocket and wore it immediately. That was when I spotted the camouflaged ragweed, hidden beneath a few broad-leafed plants.It was a crude yet underhanded tactic. But if I were to start sifting through the floral materials without noticing the ragweed, the pollen that permeated the air would've been enough to kill me on the spot.The judge panel decided to drop me a reminder via their microphone."Ms. Ashbury, you still have 30 minutes remaining in your presentation. You may build your diorama right now. Did you come across any problems?"Adeline, whose chamber was next to mine, kept staring at me through the transparent glass that divided us. A strong hint of anticipation danced in her eyes.She thought I'd panic, and that my allergy would get triggered. But I merely wheeled the entire cart of floral materials out of the display chamber, together with the ragweed. Then, I locked the doo

Two years later, global tech giant Sterling Global officially unveiled its new Armadean headquarters in Halvon City of Chevoria.As an industry leader, Sterling Global announced an open bidding process for the interior landscaping of its ground-floor lobby. The project was themed "Allergen-Free Ecological Atrium" and had a budget of 50 million dollars. It demanded not only exceptional design but also the highest standards of allergen safety.As the lead designer of one of Seldoria's top ecological design teams, I led my team back to Chevoria to compete for the contract.The bidding presentations were held in the panoramic conference center located on the top floor of Sterling Global's headquarters.Strict rules were in place. Every team had its own enclosed display chamber. Each designer had 30 minutes to create a miniature landscape using only their preapproved floral materials. Then, they'd have to present their ecological design concept to a panel of international judges, who'

Six months later, Zurlen welcomed the early summer with open arms. It was a bright and beautiful day here.I was in my research lab when I received an international package from Chevoria. It was a premium, temperature-controlled airfreight container, with shipping costs that could reach four figures per trip. Labels reading "expedited" and "extremely fragile" were plastered on the exterior.The courier carefully keyed in the passcode before opening the container. The icy vapor from the liquid nitrogen slowly dissipated, revealing a white rose lying in the container with its stem intact.Its petals were a shade of pure, untainted white. In fact, they harbored a jade-like quality that made them almost transparent.There were no signs of pollen anywhere. Even the thorns along the stem had been completely eliminated through an extraordinarily complex combination of physical and genetic engineering techniques.A letter was trapped in a slit between the layers of the container. A few

Life was smooth sailing for me throughout my half-year stay in Seldoria. The institute was equipped with the most advanced equipment in the world. I didn't have to deal with any exhausting socialization at all. If anything, I got to immerse myself in a world of academics and design.The research topic I led, which focused on the cultivation of allergen-friendly alpine plants, made rapid progress. I combined the genetic data of the alpine mosses and the pollenless ferns, which allowed me to cultivate a new type of interior-based decorative plants that had high survivability and were 100% allergen-friendly.In this institute, I no longer played a supporting role in someone else's life. Meanwhile, Glenn, who was all the way back in Chevoria, was starting to suffer in life. Without my expertise in color coordination and design, his floral arrangements began to reveal just how hollow and garish they truly were.In the past, Glenn was used to piling the expensive imported flowers

After enduring a flight of more than a dozen hours, I finally arrived at the studio apartment the institute had arranged for me. There, I took a hot bath before changing into a set of cotton-based loungewear. Using the new phone number that the institute had given me, I logged into my spare work email account so that I could receive the project documents that my mentor would be sending to me.As soon as I logged in, an email from Chevonia popped up on the screen. The sender was Glenn.There wasn't any small talk in the title. All I saw was a strongly worded command—"Pick up the phone".I stared at the title for a few moments before deleting it right away. Then, I continued sorting out my luggage.Five minutes later, my phone rang. It was a call initiated on WhatsApp by the one and only Adeline Shoeman.I answered and put the phone to my ear. But I didn't say anything at all."What's with the tantrum this time, Willow?" Glenn's voice drifted from the speaker. His hoarse voic
