Hailey was stunned. “Didn’t Mr. Christopher Solace tell you?”
Yuliana shook her head.
Hailey continued, “It seems that something happened to Solace Corporation Romdale Branch. I saw Mr. Kendrick Solace hurrying to the company this morning. When he went out, he called Mr. Christopher Solace and asked him to head there immediately.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Yuliana did not say anything. After a moment of silence, she piped up, “Hailey, you may return to your work.” Hailey hummed in response and went to the kitchen.
After breakfast, Hailey applied medicine to Yuliana’s foot again. The swelling was less severe than it had been the day before, but it still appeared frightening. It would take at least ten days, or half a month, to
recover.
Yuliana sat on the couch after the treatment and rested for a while. She then went back to her room to pack and prepare to return to her new home.
The following day was Monday, and she needed to prepare for her class the following week.
When she returned to the room, she noticed that the handwriting on the small note pressed beneath the scented candle was identical to the handwriting on the A4 paper Christopher had written to Hailey the day before. Therefore, it was clear that Christopher wrote the note.
[Something happened in Romdale, and I need to go there to deal with it. Hailey has worked in the Solace residence for many years. She’s very reliable. She’ll look after your daily needs in the future.]
The note contained just four simple sentences and nothing else.
Yuliana sat by the bed and looked at it for a while, feeling a little sad.
After having lunch at Oceanview Apartment, Yuliana went back to her new house in Celestial Garden, which was next to Maple Garden, with Hailey.
Celestial Garden was a new building constructed a few years ago. The residential area was well- managed, and the environment was pleasant.
Yuliana’s luggage had been transferred from Maple Garden to Celestial Garden and was neatly placed in the large living room.
There were three bedrooms and a living room in the house. The house was about 1,506 square feet in size, which was significantly larger than the house in Maple Garden.
Since Yuliana’s foot was injured, Hailey did not allow Yuliana to move. In the end, Yuliana decided to listen to Hailey because she also needed to prepare for class.
Hailey was more efficient and worked much faster than Yuliana. In three to four hours, she finished organizing the bulky items. She only asked Yuliana’s opinion when deciding where to put the smaller items.
Seeing that it was almost done, Hailey made Yuliana some food and asked, “Yuliana, will you be able to take care of yourself tonight?”
Hailey had to return to the Solace residence to get her luggage since she would be living in Celestial Garden starting the next day to take care of Yuliana’s daily needs.
In response, Yuliana nodded. “I can do it. You should go back.”
Before going to bed, Yuliana finally heard back from Christopher when he asked her what was wrong.
After a brief period of silence, Yuliana uttered, “Nothing. I just want to know where you went.”
Christopher was slightly taken aback. “I left you a note.”
“I didn’t notice it until much later Yuliana yawned and inquired, “Is the situation in Romdale serious?”
“Not really.”
Yuliana hummed in response. She was staring off into the distance and did not know what to say for a long
time.
No one spoke over the phone for a while.
“Are you in Oceanview Apartment or Celestial Garden?” Christopher asked.
1 have class tomorrow, so I came back.” After a pause, Yuliana added, “It’s more convenient here because it’s close.”
The two chatted casually. Their conversation was about trivial matters.
Soon, half an hour had passed while they talked.
Yuliana glanced at the time. It was almost midnight. She could not talk anymore.
“I’m going to sleep.” Her voice was soft. It sounded like an ordinary sentence, but she knew clearly that she was reluctant to hang up.
They had not communicated like that in a long time.
“Okay,” Christopher responded.
Yuliana could not help asking, “Aren’t you going to bed yet?”
“I still have some work to do.”
“Rest early after you finish your work.”
With that said, Yuliana was about to press the hang-up button, but she stared at the red button for a long time and did not press it.
Christopher did not hang up either.
Yuliana hesitated for a while before placing her phone on the pillow. After that, she turned off the light and climbed into bed.
After some time, a faint noise that sounded like the tapping of a keyboard and mouse came from the other end of the phone. Yuliana dozed off as she listened to the rhythmic noise.
On Monday, Lexie looked at Yuliana’s foot and gloated about the injury when Yuliana arrived at the office.
Yuliana had a full day of teaching ahead of her. She had two classes in the morning and two in the afternoon, but she was unable to stand for very long due to her foot injury. While she was teaching, she could only sit, which was quite inconvenient.
Wade’s mother, Josephine, learned about Yuliana’s foot injury. On Tuesday morning, she bought some health supplements and fruits for Yuliana. It took Yuliana a long time to persuade Josephine to take them back.
As soon as Josephine left, Lexie remarked sarcastically with a gloomy face, “Even God is not willing to put up with what someone has done wrong!”
Yuliana ignored her.
Yuliana recovered quickly thanks to Hailey’s care. Layla also took the time to come over and send some nutritional supplements. She also mentioned the situation in Romdale, which did not appear to be as simple as Christopher claimed.
Due to the situation in Romdale, everyone in the Juxshire headquarters was wrapped up with work. The entire company had been extremely busy over the past few days.
Yuliana looked it up on the internet. It appeared that an important project in Romdale encountered a problem and was temporarily suspended. The project was quite large, so even a single day’s delay would result in a sizable loss.
Additionally, the project was already more than half done, and the initial investment was substantial. It was one of the most significant projects undertaken by Solace Corporation Romdale Branch. All of the investment would be lost if the project could not be finished successfully in the future.
