Hesper was quite familiar with the places around the office because they would order food delivery Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
when they had to work overtime. She knew which shop Matthew would enjoy, so she brought him
there.
“Our stats are higher than the Duvals for this season, but I don’t really understand why they’re doing
what they’re doing.”
Matthew was the one managing the company recently. Hesper looked at the numbers and didn’t really
understand the Duvals’ plan, so she looked at Matthew intently.
“These few days… We should eat well.”
Matthew flicked her forehead. “There’s nothing in there other than work.”
“Ouch.” Hesper rubbed her forehead. “I’m working hard for the company yet you flicked my head.
You’re paying for lunch.”
Matthew chuckled as Hesper looked up, and they both started laughing.
“Where did you go this morning? You looked concerned when you got home yesterday. Is it about
Rickard?”
Hesper thought about it, then said, “Somewhat, but not really. Juniper’s mother wanted to see me and
asked to work with me.”
“Work with you?”
Matthew thought that the name Juniper sounded familiar, then he frowned. “How?”
“She wants to help me. She’ll tell me as much as possible about whatever Juniper plans in the future.”
Hesper raised her brows. “But the catch is that if Juniper does something terrible and I get to decide
her fate, I’ll have to spare her life. I accepted.”
Matthew nodded. “Can you trust her?”
Hesper looked down and shook her head. “I’ve never talked to her before this. Maybe first impressions
aren’t that accurate, but the impression I got from her was that she was a gentle and elegant woman.
More importantly, I believe that no mother would want their child to make mistakes that would ruin their
life. I’m hoping that she’s a good mother.”
Before Matthew could speak, their food was served. “Try this. Every time I tried it, I would think about
how it’s something you would probably love.”
“Finish it, then go back to work.”
Matthew was speechless.
Seeing resentment in his eyes, Hesper gave a sneaky smile. “Go on.”
It was soon the weekend. Hesper would need to go back to the competition on Monday, so she
reserved half a day to see Renfrew.
She would be very busy the next week, but Renfrew would probably still look forward to meeting her on
Sunday. Hesper wouldn’t want to let him down.
It was winter now. Genecity was colder than the past years and it might even snow.
Hesper saw snow at Emperion before. It was much heavier than the light snow of Genecity’s that would
disappear when it touched the ground.
It would snow heavily and the heaviest snowfall could cover the roof. The heavy snow would look like
confetti falling.
It snowed the next day.
Renfrew was wrapped up warmly with a scarp as he stood in front of the car waiting Hesper sew kim
when she got to their rendezvous point. He started waving at her as soon as he saw her.
“Mommy!”
