Chapter 129
The alarm clock had been ringing for a long time before I could vaguely hear the sound. Slowly, I
regained consciousness from my deep sleep.
I looked at my phone. It was nine o’clock in the morning. At least it wasn’t the afternoon.
My office hours began at ten a.m., so I still had time to get to work.
When I got to the office building, I didn’t go to my office, instead going straight to the top floor. Lila had

Wait, what? That wasn’t what we spoke about.
“Why did she come back and say that she didn’t approve my resignation?” I asked.
