GET IT NOW
Chapter 128 Utterly Exhausted
On my way to Solaris, I looked out the plane window at the clouds. Suddenly, I thought of an unexpected person. I hadn’t seen or heard from Atlas since the divorce proceedings concluded. Although he hadn’t called, I somehow felt disappointed.
Still, I kept my distance, not wanting to get too close to him. Despite my efforts, I couldn’t help but wonder why he hadn’t called or even texted me. Strangely, I saw a missed call from him after turning my
phone on when the plane landed.
My mind raced, but I returned the call after some hesitation. Atlas asked, “Where are you?”
“I just landed in Solaris,” I replied.
“Alone?”
“Yeah.”
“All right safe.” His tone was distant, and he didn’t seem interested in continuing the conversation.”
I’ll hang up now.”
I was frustrated. Atlas called me, yet he didn’t intend to say much. I was about to ask why he called, but he had already hung up. I sighed and pocketed my phone, feeling conflicted.
When I met Fred this time, he seemed much better. He knew I had arrived and sent someone to pick me
up from the airport.
Immediately after, I went to Urban Builders, and they wasted no time holding a project coordination
meeting. We discussed a detailed analysis of the upcoming ATL Empire project and made the necessary
preparations.
We also used their blueprints to draft a comprehensive design and construction plan. Then, they presented a cooperation plan for my company. They provided precise requirements and a well–defined
direction for my work.
I felt confident about what I was doing. The meeting lasted until late evening, and we had dinner in the
meeting room.
I worked hard to maintain relationships with suppliers. I could only afford about four hours of sleep each night. After today’s three–hour flight, I dived into intense work. It was close to 11 p.m. now, and I had
reached my limit.
I wanted to call home but realized it was too late. My parents and Ava must’ve slept already. I knew I had a busy day ahead when I thought about finalizing details with Fred tomorrow and returning home the day
after.
I had to sign the contract with ATL Empire in two days and outsource the agreement with Ardora
Construction.
Soon, I went to sleep. I didn’t know how much time had passed when a series of knocks on the door startled me awake. I sat up with a racing heart, wondering who it was.
