Leaving a message for Echa, I rushed towards Reed Aerospace Technologies. His card served its purpose as the driver dropped me right at the entrance of his company’s headquarters.
In addition to his aerospace engineering background, Felix hail expanded into commercial spare ventures and was thriving in multiple sectors. His company was revolutionizing satellite technology and space tourism.
Without wasting a single second to admire the impressive building. I went straight to the reception and introduced myself
I am Drielle Becker. Mr. Reed is expecting to see me.”
Just a moment please, ma’am.
“Welcome to Reed Aerospace, Miss Hecker, Our CEO is waiting for you in his office”
She directed me to the top floor, so I thanked her and took an elevator. Two other employees also entered and pressed the same floor button. Like typical aerospace industry workers, they began to chat, but specific gossip successfully aroused my curiosity. 1 listened to them intently. “Isn’t it amazing that our CEO is finally willing to settle down with his business partner after all these years?”
The other one commented, “No doubt, she’s the luckiest woman in the aerospace industry.
Wasn’t Felix used to changing his relationships frequently, spreading his attention everywhere? Then wh

The sound of documents hitting the floor resonated in the surroundings. I acted as if I had also lost my halance, discreetly grabbing some papers as 1 steadied myself, then wincing as if in pain.
“Ahh! My anklet”
“W What are you talking about?” Melody stuttered, completely taken by surprise. She didn’t expect to cause such a scene. Soon, the whole floor gathered, whispering about the incident.
This commotion even alerted Felix in his office. Everyone parted to make way for him as he emerged from the crowd with a grim expression face. Stretching his palm, he bent to help me up.
“Miss Becker!”
His offer left me surprised. I placed my hand on his wide palm absent–mindedly. Felix pulled me up with some force: I didn’t pay attention and accidentally bumped into his chin, letting out a small cry.
My reaction suddenly froze him; he stared at me in a catatonic stupor. His intense gaze made me pause for a moment, flashing a distant memory from the past in my mind.
Before we got married, there was a brief period of harmony. I had worked hard to look presentable for him, and then we became closer due to our shared work. The memories of that beautiful time were etched on my soul.
At that time, Felix and I often ended our collaborative moments with this same gesture. I could vividly remember the stupid pranks of hiding his research files and then searching together, working side by side.
My foolishness of reminiscing about that era was such stupidity that I laughed at myself. How could he possibly remember something so trivial about the assistant he’d discarded?
Apologizing for my carelessness, I stood at an appropriate distance from Telix Melody looked at him and hurriedly tried to explain.
“Trust me, honey. It was just on
No matter how much she explained, the disdainful books of the workers screamed her guilt, it wasn’t a secret as everyone witnessed her deliberate collision with me.
