Seeing that Chise and Zark had moved on. Tanya replied Im going to get some food Catch you later.” 

Ethan was sure he was being iced out. 

That afternoon, Ashley went to a meeting in the R&D department. Gabriel was also there. He listened silently as she precisely identified problems and swifth offered sohitions 

After the meeting. Ashley was about to leave when she noticed Gabriel looking at her. She paused, asking politely, “How’s your first day? 

Gabriel smiled “Not bad. Thank you.” 

Ashley nodded, said nothing more, and left the conference room with her laptop. 

For the next few days, Ashley spent most of her time on working and finalizing the copyright agreement with the Al journal. On Friday, after reviewing the

It was Gabriel’s third day at Eternal, and he had had a fair amount of contact with Ashley. He worked on a very different style than when she interviewed him, yet she seemed unconcerned. She showed no surprise or curiosity about it. On his fiay, he sent her a bouquet of yellow roses as an apology. But for the next days, Ashley hadn’t mentioned them, as if she’d never received he wasn’t curious about why he had sent her flowers.

Sam looked at Kelly with envy and answered politely, “Hello, Aunt Susan.” 

Kelly looked around “Sam, isn’t your driver here yet? 

Sam looked around. He didn’t see his usual driver. The school gate was full of parents picking up their children, but he knew his parents wouldn’t come. He thought he was used to it, but… 

Seeing Sam’s unhappy face, Susan asked, “Something wrong, sweetie? Why the long face?” 

Sam said nothing. 

At that moment, Sam’s driver finally arrived. He waved goodbye to Kelly and Susan before getting into the car. Watching Kelly and her mom happily walking together, Sam turned to his driver and said, ‘I’m not going home. I’m going to my great–grandmother’s house.”
