I entered the factory gates only to be stopped by a stern security guard. I told him I wanted to meet with Fred.The security guard scrutinized me and said, "Mr. Fred isn't here. He's currently on a business trip.""Could you tell me where he went?" I asked anxiously because my time in the city was limited.“I wouldn’t know,” he said with a sour attitude."Could you at least give me his phone number?

The person who entered the room was Fred Meyers, whom I had been trying to meet. Accompanying him was Mr. Meyers, who had given me a ride.Fred and I locked eyes for a moment. It had been four years, and he looked older. His once jet-black hair was now salt-and-pepper, and he appeared slightly leaner.He gazed at me for a while. "Is it really you, Ms. Chloe?""Fred, it's me! Chloe Hartz. Long time no see!" I felt somewhat self-conscious about my current state."You need to lie down! Lie down!"

I was nervous as I waited in bed. Closing my eyes, I tried to calm myself and whispered, "Everything happens for a reason.

"Ms. Chloe, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I must head back. I’d like you to come to our company if you feel better tomorrow. I won't disturb you further today. Please take care of your health."My heart sank. I nodded while releasing my clenched hands. "Alright. See you tomorrow."

“That’s nonsense. You’ve become pretty sensitive, you little devil,” Matthew teased while playfully patting my butt. “I’ll pamper my lovely wife tonight.”I smiled and nestled into his arms, saying, “I’m hungry and feeling under the weather. How could you do that to me?”He scrutinized me. "Are you genuinely not feeling well? Why didn't you bring Ava back with you?""You wouldn't believe it.
