    Hailey was stunned. “Didn’t Mr. Christopher Sce tell you?”


    Yuliana shook her head.


    Hailey continued, “It seems that something happened to Sce Corporation Romdale Branch. I saw


    Mr. Kendrick Sce hurrying to thepany this morning. When he went out, he called Mr.


    Christopher Sce and asked him to head there immediately.”


    Yuliana did not say anything. After a moment of silence, she piped up, “Hailey, you may return to your


    work.” Hailey hummed in response and went to the kitchen.


    After breakfast, Hailey applied medicine to Yuliana’s foot again. The swelling was less severe than it


    had been the day before, but it still appeared frightening. It would take at least ten days, or half a


    month, to


    recover.


    Yuliana sat on the couch after the treatment and rested for a while. She then went back to her room to


    pack and prepare to return to her new home.


    The following day was Monday, and she needed to prepare for her ss the following week.


    When she returned to the room, she noticed that the handwriting on the small note pressed beneath


    the scented candle was identical to the handwriting on the A4 paper Christopher had written to Hailey


    the day before. Therefore, it was clear that Christopher wrote the note.


    [Something happened in Romdale, and I need to go there to deal with it. Hailey has worked in the


    Sce residence for many years. She’s very reliable. She’ll look after your daily needs in the future.]


    The note contained just four simple sentences and nothing else.


    Yuliana sat by the bed and looked at it for a while, feeling a little sad.


    After having lunch at Oceanview Apartment, Yuliana went back to her new house in Celestial Garden,


    which was next to Maple Garden, with Hailey.


    Celestial Garden was a new building constructed a few years ago. The residential area was well-


    managed, and the environment was pleasant.


    Yuliana’s luggage had been transferred from Maple Garden to Celestial Garden and was neatly ced


    in therge living room.


    There were three bedrooms and a living room in the house. The house was about 1,506 square feet in


    size, which was significantlyrger than the house in Maple Garden.


    Since Yuliana’s foot was injured, Hailey did not allow Yuliana to move. In the end, Yuliana decided to


    listen to Hailey because she also needed to prepare for ss.


    Hailey was more efficient and worked much faster than Yuliana. In three to four hours, she finished


    organizing the bulky items. She only asked Yuliana’s opinion when deciding where to put the smaller


    items.


    Seeing that it was almost done, Hailey made Yuliana some food and asked, “Yuliana, will you be able


    to take care of yourself tonight?”


    Hailey had to return to the Sce residence to get her luggage since she would be living in Celestial


    Garden starting the next day to take care of Yuliana’s daily needs.


    In response, Yuliana nodded. “I can do it. You should go back.”


    Before going to bed, Yuliana finally heard back from Christopher when he asked her what was wrong.


    After a brief period of silence, Yuliana uttered, “Nothing. I just want to know where you went.”


    Christopher was slightly taken aback. “I left you a note.”


    “I didn’t notice it until muchter Yuliana yawned and inquired, “Is the situation in Romdale serious?”


    “Not really.”


    Yuliana hummed in response. She was staring off into the distance and did not know what to say for a


    long


    time.


    No one spoke over the phone for a while.


    “Are you in Oceanview Apartment or Celestial Garden?” Christopher asked.


    1 have ss tomorrow, so I came back.” After a pause, Yuliana added, “It’s more convenient here


    because it’s close.”


    The two chatted casually. Their conversation was about trivial matters.


    Soon, half an hour had passed while they talked.


    Yuliana nced at the time. It was almost midnight. She could not talk anymore.


    “I’m going to sleep.” Her voice was soft. It sounded like an ordinary sentence, but she knew clearly that


    she was reluctant to hang up.


    They had notmunicated like that in a long time.


    “Okay,” Christopher responded.


    Yuliana could not help asking, “Aren’t you going to bed yet?”


    “I still have some work to do.”


    “Rest early after you finish your work.”


    With that said, Yuliana was about to press the hang-up button, but she stared at the red button for a


    long time and did not press it.


    Christopher did not hang up either.


    Yuliana hesitated for a while before cing her phone on the pillow. After that, she turned off the light


    and climbed into bed.


    After some time, a faint noise that sounded like the tapping of a keyboard and mouse came from the


    other end of the phone. Yuliana dozed off as she listened to the rhythmic noise.


    On Monday, Lexie looked at Yuliana’s foot and gloated about the injury when Yuliana arrived at the


    office.


    Yuliana had a full day of teaching ahead of her. She had two sses in the morning and two in the


    afternoon, but she was unable to stand for very long due to her foot injury. While she was teaching, she


    could only sit, which was quite inconvenient.


    Wade’s mother, Josephine, learned about Yuliana’s foot injury. On Tuesday morning, she bought some


    health supplements and fruits for Yuliana. It took Yuliana a long time to persuade Josephine to take


    them back.


    As soon as Josephine left, Lexie remarked sarcastically with a gloomy face, “Even God is not willing to


    put up with what someone has done wrong!”

    Yuliana ignored her.


    Yuliana recovered quickly thanks to Hailey’s care. La also took the time toe over and send


    some nutritional supplements. She also mentioned the situation in Romdale, which did not appear to be


    as simple as Christopher imed.


    Due to the situation in Romdale, everyone in the Juxshire headquarters was wrapped up with work.


    The entirepany had been extremely busy over the past few days.


    Yuliana looked it up on the inte. It appeared that an important project in Romdale encountered a


    problem and was temporarily suspended. The project was quiterge, so even a single day’s dy


    would result in a sizable loss.


    Additionally, the project was already more than half done, and the initial investment was substantial. It


    was one of the most significant projects undertaken by Sce Corporation Romdale Branch. All of the


    investment would be lost if the project could not be finished sessfully in the future.
