Chapter 229 Complaints

“When did you get back?” I asked joyfully..

1’ve been back for two days now,” Atlas replied flatly. Although he sounded calm, I felt

disappointed. It seemed I wasn’t that important to him since he could come and go

without notifying me.

My mood plummeted, and I said nothing.

He continued, “You don’t need to worry about that and just focus on your work.”

“What do you mean?” I replied, slightly annoyed.

“Do you have time to worry about me?” he spoke forcefully, avoiding my question.

I knew he was in a bad mood, so I didn’t respond. Instead, hung up, thinking he should

know what it feels like for me to hang up on him, I waited a while, but he didn’t call me

back. I felt even more dejected.

While scrolling through my phone, I realized I hadn’t seen Ivanna and Lauren for several

days. I called them, but Ivanna’s line was busy. Immediately after, I called Lauren, and she

answered with a complaint,

You finally remembered me!”

“Why are you like Ivanna? You’re always complaining like her,” I retorted, and she

chuckled.

Lauren said, “I hear you brought your parents back, but I haven’t seen her yet. I don’t

even know when

you’re home.”

“Can’t you visit her when I’m not home?” I replied disdainfully, which made her cackle.

Soon after, she mentioned a clubhouse where we could soak in the hot springs and enjoy

good food. She

asked if I wanted to go there to relax. I hadn’t experienced such leisure since I typically

had a strict

schedule. I was either at work or with Ava

Relaxing in such a place piqued my interest, so I agreed and suggested we invite Ivanna.

However, Ivanna’s phone remained busy, causing me to wonder who she could be talking

to for so long.

I drove to Lauren’s provided location, which was quite far away. I didn’t need to plan

things since Lauren knew all about the place. As I drove, I realized the place wasn’t too far

from Atlas’s house in Pleca Park. No wonder there was a hot spring there.

When I arrived, I received a call from Ivanna. It seemed her lengthy conversation had

finally ended. I complained, “Who have you been talking to? It’s been almost an hour!”

“Hey, I don’t want to talk about it. That lady’s a handful. She’s all sunshine and rainbows if

you talk to her

If I was complaining, she was ranting. I asked, “Who are you talking about?”

“One of the rising stars at my company. Only a few knew about her all these years. Her

acting skills are so- so, but she’s gained popularity somehow. That’s how the

entertainment industry works, I guess.

“You never know what the audience will like the next moment. Anyhow, she’s finally

getting some

attention.”

“Is she one of yours? If so, that should be good,” I tried to comfort her.

“I’m sure it is, and I’ve been wondering if she spent the past few years secretly studying

how to become a star. Her sudden transformation is unreal-” Ivanna vented, sounding

exasperated.

“All right, calm down. Can you get off work now?” I interrupted her.

“Yeah, you’re right. I need to let off steam. What is it?” Ivanna’s tone became calmer.

I told her where Lauren and I were meeting, and she happily agreed. “Wait for me! I’ll see

you there soon!”

After hanging up, I remembered to call my mom and tell her I wouldn’t be home for dinner.

I also told her I would be out with Ivanna and Lauren. I was about to get out of my car

when I saw something and

stopped.
