Redmption 70
I wasn’t surprised that he had added me.
We were now co–workers and would have tomunicate often over plenty of things, so adding
each other on WhatsApp would be very convenient.

However, I didn’t add his contact immediately. Instead, I replied to Lisa’s message, but she didn’t
reply to me. She was probably busy again.
I tapped on Conrad’s notification and thought about it for a moment before replying, “I’ve been busy
with the amusement parktely. I’ll go show you around once I’m done.”
I followed up with one single word, “Sorry”
Conrad replied almost instantly, “No worries. You need to take care of yourself no matter how busy
you are, okay?”
Before I could reply, he sent another text. “I’ll be waiting for you.”
I was about to reply “Okay“, but it didn’t seem appropriate with histest message. So, I instead
replied with, “Are you going to be staying for a while?”
Conrad replied, “Yes. I won’t be leaving for quite a bit.”
I was quite surprised by his answer. A few secondster, I asked, “Bree and Zack must be d.”
It showed that Conrad was still typing, but his reply never came even after I waited for a few
minutes.
Instead of blindly waiting, I went to my email so that I could sort through them and reply to the new
ones.
It had be a habit to check, but I seemed to have already settled everything Ineeded to. There
were no new emails in my inbox.
Seeing theck of the little red dot next to my inbox made me feel empty inside for some reason.
Kara suddenly approached me and showed me her phone screen. “Maddie, have you caught up
with this TV series? I’ve been watching it so far. It’s the male and female leads‘ second show
together, and it’s actually really nice!”

I nced at her screen. I liked both the lead actor and actress, and the clip that was ying on
screen was pretty funny. The female lead had turned into a chicken and was currently wildly
pecking at the male lead, who was teasing
her.
Thus, I put my phone down and started to watch the show with Kara. However, my interest in the
show eventually lost to my sleepiness.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn the next day.
Due to my biological clock, it was only 5:00 am when I woke up. As for Kara, she was sleeping like
a log. Her nightgown had ridden up all the way to her thigh, exposing her underwear.
I pulled the nket over her and picked up my phone. I saw a number of new
messages.
Lisa had replied to me and so had Conrad. His message read, “What about you?
I looked back at our chat after seeing his response. Only then did I understand that he was asking if
I was d about him staying.
What did that have to do with me? Whether he stayed or left had nothing to do with me. Why was
he asking me that?
We were both adults, so I could clearly sense that something was slightly off and didn’t reply.
I put my phone down and washed up before pouring myself a ss of water and sipping it by the
window. I noticed that a slight fog had risen outside.
It was very light. In fact, I could still see the scenery outside almost perfectly.
I was almost done with my water and was about to stretch out my limbs when a figure suddenly
popped into view.
I noticed the long legs in an athletic stride. It was no one other than Brandon himself.
As expected, he was the perfect veteran. He was already out of the army and yet maintained so
many good habits. He even kept up his habit of jogging every morning.
What a rare disciplined man.
I suddenly remembered I hadn’t added him back on WhatsApp, so I took my phone and added his
number before starting to stretch and do some simple exercises myself.
When I changed clothes, I applied the ointment that Brandon gave me. After all, there was no
reason to overthink it.
After cleaning up, I prepared to go downstairs for a quick breakfast before heading to the
amusement park. Just then, a message came in from Brandon. It read, “Do you have a boyfriend?”
Was that why he had added me on WhatsApp? It wasn’t for work, but it was to ask that?
