“Go back to Slovenia!” Ranita said, and then added, “Don’t tell Brendon, got it?”
There was no reply from the other end for a long time.
Ranita felt something was off but couldn’t quite put her finger on it. She continued to ask, “Did you go out drinking again? I’ve told you many times that it’s not safe outside at night. Don’t always go out at night.”
“Okay,” came the short reply.
Ranita felt even more uneasy. “What’s wrong with you today? You’re talking weirdly… not calling me sister or mentioning Brendon…”
After sending the message, Ranita quickly retracted it. But obviously too late. “I’m a bit busy today… what do you want to ask Brendon? I’ll tell you everything.”
“Don’t tell me! I don’t want to know… But wait, is there something wrong with Brendon? Why isn’t he going back to the country? He’s always wandering around Berlin, making me afraid to go out, fearing I might run into him.”
Ranita glanced at the date and realized that tomorrow was Amiya’s birthday. If he didn’t go back soon, he would definitely miss it.
During those three years at Boulderland Mansion, the most tumultuous time for Ranita was always on Amiya’s birthday. She was busy inside and out, subjected to Amiya’s sarcastic remarks, difficulties, and unable to say anything back.
Ranita thought about it, and suddenly it seemed like a long, long time ago.
She had a large sum of money, living a happy life with her son, and she had her own career. It was truly wonderful! With this thought, Ranita tried to console herself, thinking that she could consider that one mistake as going out for a date to spice up her life.
From now on, with half the globe between them, who would have any control over whom?
“Forget it, forget it. Don’t tell me anything about Brendon from now on. I don’t want to know anything!” Ranita said and added, “I’m taking a bath, so I won’t chat with you.”
Brendon held his phone, his face darkening as he read Ranita’s message. She actually called him crazy? This woman had disappeared again, which had already infuriated him enough, and now she was insulting him…
The next second, the words ‘taking a bath’ caught his eye.
After years of hunger, Brendon had finally tasted a morsel of meat, and his mind inexplicably conjured up certain fragments. In the dimly lit room, he held Ranita and burned with passion.
Ranita had been tired for two days, finishing her work early and enjoying a wonderful bath. She snuggled in the large bed, checking her flight schedule. It was at that moment that Brown called.
“Hey, Cynthia!” As soon as Ranita heard his frivolous voice, she knew he was out having fun, and she promptly refused, “I’m not going out, not drinking, not playing. I want to rest! I’m going back directly tomorrow.”
“Cynthia! Don’t be like this! You only know how boring work is every day! Today, the project with Gauss Technology went smoothly. Come out and have some fun!”
“You’re still young, don’t act like an old lady. The outside world is so exciting… It’s such a waste if you don’t experience it properly!”
Ranita wasn’t swayed. “Sorry, I don’t want to see so much excitement. I just want to get a good night’s sleep.”
The Gauss Technology project was completed this time, and there was a small celebration tonight. She found it uninteresting and decided to come back early to rest!
“Cynthia! Just consider it the final wrap-up work. Come on! Tomorrow we’ll be liberated!”
When Brown mentioned work, Ranita thought for a moment and agreed.
Gauss Technology was a major client for them here, and it was important to maintain the client relationship!
Ranita changed into a new outfit, a black off-shoulder gown with a matching coat on top, paired with high heels, looking beautiful like an elf in the dark night.
