Lily slept deeply. It was not because she had a tiring day in the lab but because...
She was experimenting in a specific field when she discovered that men and women naturally had different endurance in certain areas. For example, Alexander had woken up early to go to the company for a meeting.
Lily was not even sure what time he had left. Vaguely, she remembered that just before he left, he had placed a kiss on her forehead. She could not remember much before that.
She fished around with her fingers and found her vibrating cell phone. She held it up to her ear. "Hello?"
"Lily, it's me." It was Olivia's voice, and she sounded energetic.
"Huh, it's still so early. Don't you want more rest?" Lily said, half-awaked. She tossed around but did not feel like moving at all.
"Early?” Olivia looked at the time. "It's about to be six o'clock. How is that early?"
"Six o'clock? Six o'clock isn’t early?" Lily's brain was still exhausted. She was about to hang up the phone.
"Lily, it's six o'clock in the evening. Surely you don’t think it's six o'clock in the morning?"
"Six o'clock in the evening isn't early? H-Huh?!" Lily slowly returned to her senses. "What? Six o’clock in the evening?!’’
She could not believe it. She picked up her phone and looked at the time properly. True enough, it would be six o'clock in the evening soon.
After being stunned for two seconds, she jumped out of bed and ran to the window barefooted. She pulled open the curtain and peered out. It was like the setting sun was laughing at her for missing a day of sunlight.
