Rebecca Augustine didn't understand the meaning behind Leonard Babbitt's words. After saying he had more work to do, he left, as if he had rushed from a meeting just to tell her something she couldn't comprehend.After Leonard Babbitt left, she stayed in the office for a while longer, seemingly to confirm that he was indeed busy and wouldn't waste time on trivial matters before leaving dejectedly.As the weather grew increasingly hot, there were few pedestrians on the street, mostly passing vehicles. The heat left by the cars made Rebecca Augustine feel even more irritable.She wasn't sure if she had said something wrong in front of Leonard Babbitt or if he hadn't understood what she wanted to convey. That's why he asked her if she wanted to stay because she liked him or because she felt guilty.He also told her not to change her original plans because of him.Rebecca Augustine's original plan was to follow Laura Spender and Huo Jingting on a business trip, as per the company's ar

Throughout the entire day, Rebecca Augustine didn't receive any messages from Leonard Babbitt. She remained calm and didn't take the initiative to contact him either. She had no idea what Leonard Babbitt was up to that day, and she even wondered if he was with Stacey Grantham. If he was indeed with Stacey Grantham, then it was unlikely that he would reach out to her. In that case, why should she bother him and risk disturbing them? She tossed her phone aside, deciding to ignore it completely. To distract herself, she worked on some drafts, while Dorothy Hopkins went to the balcony to have a long chat with her boyfriend on the phone.From time to time, Rebecca Augustine could hear Dorothy Hopkins's laughter coming from the balcony. She stopped writing and looked at the design draft in front of her, crumpling it into a ball and throwing it into the trash can beside her. She and Leonard Babbitt never engaged in such long phone conversations; every minute of his time was spent making mone

Rebecca Augustine stared at the message from Leonard Babbitt for a long time, unable to recover. What did he mean by saying it was just a minor issue that didn't require a doctor? She remembered that after his wound had been injured a second time, it had become severely inflamed and infected. The doctor's warnings were still fresh in her mind, but Leonard Babbitt seemed to have ignored them.Was it Leonard Babbitt's body or hers? For a moment, she couldn't tell. She was even more worried than he was. Holding her phone, she paced back and forth in the room, wanting to say something to Leonard Babbitt, but held back several times.Texting was too slow. It seemed like Leonard Babbitt wouldn't take the initiative to see a doctor. Suddenly, she remembered that she had added the doctor's Whatsapp for convenience last time. She quickly opened her contacts.She didn't have many Whatsapp friends, just family and a few close colleagues. Finding the doctor's Whatsapp, she immediately sent a me

Rebecca Augustine had never experienced such a vivid dream before. Despite Leonard Babbitt's persistent questioning, she remained silent, "Dreams are the opposite of reality."Sometimes, she was quite superstitious, believing that dreams could offer hints or messages. But whenever she dreamed of something unpleasant, she would convince herself with the saying that dreams are the opposite, just a fabrication of the subconscious mind.The next day, Rebecca Augustine stayed in the hotel to work on her own tasks. Laura Spender didn't assign any additional work to her and Dorothy Hopkins, only instructing them to submit their drafts by the deadline. As for other matters, it seemed they were irrelevant to them.When designing her initial draft, Rebecca Augustine preferred to sketch on paper, using the computer only when the design was more concrete. She held a pen, drawing and writing on the paper, while Leonard Babbitt sat by the window on a beanbag chair, engrossed in a book. The room w

Leonard Babbitt always looked at Rebecca Augustine with an air of aggression, except when he was angry, which would make him appear cold and distant. At this moment, Rebecca Augustine noticed Leonard Babbitt's slightly evasive gaze but did not call him out on it. As she had said, whether in the past, present, or future, she would never interfere in the matters between Leonard Babbitt and Stacey Grantham. Whether Leonard Babbitt decided to send Stacey Grantham away now, or if Stacey Grantham eventually returned, as long as Stacey Grantham did not harm her or those around her, Rebecca Augustine could completely pretend that Stacey Grantham did not exist.Rebecca Augustine comforted herself this way. That night, Leonard Babbitt had taken the initiative to talk about his relationship with Stacey Grantham and mentioned Stacey Grantham's older brother, Su Wenzhe. If it were not for Leonard Babbitt bringing it up, she would have wondered what these things had to do with her. Was he telling h
