The work during the day had been going well.
There wasn't much to talk about.
The meeting ended quickly.
Scarlett was the last to sign off.
This time apart from Athena had been the longest and the one that worried her the most.
"Chelsea, are you feeling better now?"
Scarlett asked just as Athena was about to sign off.
"Much better. Don't worry." Athena gently responded, "I'll need your help with things around the office before I go."
"Don't worry. I'll handle it!" Scarlett quickly replied.
Athena gave a gentle smile. "Look forward to your year-end bonus!"
She then ended the video call.
Athena stretched her shoulders and yawned widely.
She glanced at the time.
It was exactly half an hour.
She slowly got up and sent in the fruits she had prepared earlier.
Liam checked the time and suddenly understood why Chelsea had sent in fruits at this hour.
"Everyone, have some fruit and rest a bit!" Liam suggested. He was sitting close to Byron and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Crawford, are you alright?"
On Byron's table was a plate of fruits different from everyone else's.
He knew his wife had prepared it just for him.
"I'm fine."
Byron poked a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth.
It was sweet to his heart's content.
Seeing this, Liam felt a strange sense of sadness.
He thought to himself, "Chelsea is so similar to Miss Newton. Maybe Mr. Crawford found her because of Miss Newton. But Mr. Crawford was always so cold and temperamental around Miss Newton...
He's never like he is now...
If Miss Newton could see this..."
