’That’s right. I’ve always been this selfish.’
’Back then, I was selfish for wanting to be with Tristan Grayson.’
’And now, I’m still selfish. I’m just selfishly hoping I don’t fall back into that painful life again...’
Mika Sumrs stayed in her room alone for a very, very long ti before finally coming out.
During dinner, neither Una Sullivan nor Joseph Sumrs spoke to her. Instead, they wore dark expressions the entire ti.
With red-rimd eyes, she lowered her head, took a couple of quick bites, then got up and left for the office.
Once at the office, she buried herself in her work, trying not to think about all the upsetting business.
The more a person wants to work and avoid going ho, the faster ti seems to fly.
However, after being busy for only a short while, it was already the end of the workday.
Mika Sumrs had Jessica Archer bring in all the other docunts that needed her attention.
Just then, Silas Kent pushed the door open and ca in. Seeing Mika Sumrs still busy, he frowned with a hint of disapproval. "Not leaving yet?"
"I’ll leave after I finish these."
Hearing this, Silas Kent seed to think of sothing and smiled. "Then I’ll wait for you. After you’re done, let’s go get dinner. We’ve barely eaten together since we ca back."
Mika Sumrs looked up at him, her brow furrowing slightly. "Alright." ’Besides, I don’t want to go ho anyway...’
Half an hour later, Mika Sumrs had put away the files on her desk. She stood up and looked at Silas Kent, who was sitting on the sofa. "Let’s go."
"Mhm..."
Silas Kent and Mika Sumrs went to the parking garage to get the car first.
Since Mika Sumrs’s car also belonged to Silas Kent, there was no need to distinguish between them. They simply got into the car Mika usually drove, which was parked at the end of the row, and left.
Silas Kent took Mika Sumrs to the Southill Hotel.
As they reached the hotel entrance, they ran into Tristan Grayson.
Tristan Grayson was talking with another man.
When Mika Sumrs saw Tristan Grayson there, realizing he wasn’t on a business trip at all, she beca furious.
’He actually dared to lie to Kiki...’
’And he lied to ...’
But with Silas Kent by her side, she had to suppress the urge to march up and confront him. She put on a cold expression, pretended she hadn’t seen Tristan Grayson, and walked on with Silas.
After seeing the director off, Tristan Grayson had planned to head straight back to his company. But when he saw Mika Sumrs and Silas Kent enter the hotel, he clenched his fists, his face turning cold and grim. He turned and strode toward the hotel entrance.
Once inside the hotel, he couldn’t see Mika Sumrs or Silas anymore. He let out a self-deprecating laugh and sighed softly.
He found an open seat by a window in the lobby and sat down.
After Mika Sumrs and Silas Kent arrived at the VIP suite, Mika went to the restroom.
In the restroom, she splashed so water on her face to clear her head. Then she dried her hands, picked up her clutch, and headed out.
Just as she was leaving, however, a woman happened to be walking in.
Ordinarily, Mika Sumrs wouldn’t have paid her any mind, but the woman’s attire was genuinely unsettling.
The woman wore a witch’s hat and frightening makeup. She had on a large black robe over a pair of tight pants and red high heels...
Her getup was so bizarre that Mika couldn’t help but stare.
Perhaps sensing Mika’s gaze, the woman whipped her head around and glared fiercely at her.
A slight shiver ran through Mika. With a grim expression, she imdiately turned and walked away.
Watching Mika’s retreating figure, a sinister, cold smile played on the woman’s lips.
Back in the suite, Mika still looked shaken. "Silas, is your hotel hosting a costu party today?"
