When Timothy watched the couple chatting among themselves, he felt like they had
completely forgotten about his existence. It feels like my presence isn’t needed here.
However, he also understood how they felt. Tessa had barely survived the incident, so
their love for one another had to be stronger after such a terrifying event. Timothy took
another glance at the sweet smile on his sister’s face before he turned around and walked
away quietly.
Tessa and Nicholas didn’t realize the other man’s departure at all. Both of them were too
engaged in their show of love for one another. After Timothy got back to the office, he
plunged himself into all his work tasks once more.
He had been gone for days, so there was a lot of work waiting for him. He had a meeting
with some staff members and was about to head back to continue with his work in the
office when he heard his good friend’s voice coming from behind him.
“Wait up, Timothy!” Henry called as he speed- walked toward Timothy. “What is it?”
Timothy asked, puzzled. “Is anyone taking care of Tessa now that you’re back in the
office?” Henry asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTimothy nodded. “My brother-in-law is there, so you don’t have to worry about her,” he
replied.
“I see. How’s Tessa now?” Henry asked. Timothy was touched to see the genuine concern
on Henry’s face. He was especially grateful toward Henry as the man was the one who
handled most of the company matters when Timothy had been occupied with caring for
his sister.
“She’s recovering well. I’ll buy you a meal once she’s fully healed,” Timothy offered.
“You’re being too nice,’ Henry protested as he landed a playful punch on Timothy’s chest,
causing him to laugh. “I insist. You’ve done a lot in recent days.”
“Fine. If you insist on buying me a meal, I’ll have to make sure that it’s an extremely
expensive one!” Henry stuck his tongue out to make a funny face, and Timothy nodded in
agreement.. Right then, Henry seemed to recall something, and his expression turned
serious once more. “By the way, my parents saw the news about Tessa regaining
consciousness.
They’ve been wanting to pay her a visit, but they were also worried about disrupting her
recovery, so they haven’t gone over yet. Why don’t you give me a time that would work
best for Tessa? I can arrange for my parents to visit her. They’d feel relieved if they got to
see her in person, Henry suggested.
“I’ll see what I can do.” Timothy allowed the visitation as Henry’s parents sounded really
thoughtful and concerned. Both men chatted for a while more, and they soon got into
talking about their work. Once Timothy returned to his
office, he picked up his landline to make a call. “Please make me a cup of coffee, Miss
Gulliver,” Timothy uttered.
However, he froze when he realized that the call hadn’t gotten through. In the past,
Sabrina would pick up his call just seconds after he dialed her number, so he was used to
having her on the line. Right then, Timothy frowned before he hung up the call and walked
out. To his surprise, Sabrina wasn’t in her office when he went over to look for her.
“Where’s Sabrina?” Timothy turned to his other secretary. ‘Miss Gulliver took half the day
off, so she’s not in now, the other secretary replied.
“Why did she need half the day off?” Timothy asked instinctively. He didn’t realize how his.

boss and his subordinates. The secretary didn’t seem to sense anything odd either, so she
told Timothy whatever she knew about Sabrina.
“I heard that Miss Gulliver’s family wanted her to go on a blind date,” the secretary
replied.
“A blind date, huh? Why haven’t I heard of this before? There was a hint of displeasure in
Timothy’s voice, but he didn’t seem to realize it. He didn’t realize how his brows were
knitted either.
“I’m not sure. Do you need anything, Mr. Reinhart?” the secretary asked.
“No. You can go on with whatever you were working on,” Timothy uttered before heading
back to his own office. He felt rather moody, but he didn’t pay much attention to his
emotions. He simply picked up one of his documents before going through it.
However, after staring at the papers for a few minutes, he realized that he couldn’t seem
to make sense of a single sentence. “What’s going on?” He frowned even harder than
before. A look of confusion flashed across his gaze. / used to be so much more efficient
than this. The old me would’ve been able to go through a few different files by now. I don’t
get it! What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I focus on my work?
