Zera now had several scripts to choose from at will—something that would have been unthinkable in the past.
Aiken's expression grew even colder, and he said nothing further.
This left Zera feeling particularly anxious. However, she wisely chose to remain silent, understanding that speaking further would only worsen things.
…
In the hotel's presidential suite, Joe had just finished showering. While towel-drying his hair, he sent Skylar a photo.
At this time, Skylar was likely about to take her lunch break. It was also Joe's usual time to rest, though he rarely slept much when he was away from home.
As soon as he sent the photo, Skylar called him for a video chat.
"It's nearly 11:00 pm for you, right? Still working this late?" Skylar asked, her gaze lingering on the redness in Joe's eyes. She frowned, wondering if he'd been having trouble sleeping again.
Joe focused intently on Skylar. It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, but he already longed to be close to her. "I just finished showering and was about to sleep. My eyes are red because shampoo foam got into them. Have you finished your work?"
He loved watching Skylar work so seriously in her office attire. There was something almost divine about her presence.
"I just wrapped up. When you get back, I won't have any work to do, so I can spend time with you and Vivian. By the way, are there any good Floan restaurants near where you're staying? Make sure you eat well," Skylar said.
She was beginning to understand the saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder".
There were times when he had been away on business for two or three days, and it didn't bother her much. But in recent years, he rarely stayed away for more than five days.
Joe smiled. "The hotel offers Floan cuisine, so I'm sure I'll be eating well. Have you missed me?"
"Every day. Vivian asks when you'll be back every day too."
