As Leanne stepped out of her car, she shrugged off her white lab coat." She had rushed out in such a hurry that she had forgotten to change out of her coat Walking into a corporate office looking like she was about to perform a medical examination would raise a few eyebrows.

She might as well be chasing down a runaway patient from a psychiatric ward.

Upon entering the building, the receptionist held her up.

7'm here to see Curtis, Leanne said.

The receptionist gave her a few extra looks when she heard her call Curtis by his first name. After confirming she didn't know Leanine, the receptionist asked by the book, 'Do you have an appointment?" A spur of the moment thought had led Leanne here, without any prior plan to make an appointment.

"Is Curtis in?" "Mr. Richardson flew out to Emberland the day before yesterday. He still has smatters to attend to there." replied Caleb.

Leanne nodded.

Curtis cand went as he pleased, and she was always the last to know.

Caleb glanced at his watch, "If it's urgent, you could try giving him a call. It's ten at night over in Emberland. Mr. Richardson probably hasn't retired for the evening yet." Leanne nodded, "Alright. You go on with your day." The receptionist, noticing Caleb's respectful demeanor towards Leanne and considering his position as Curtis' right-hand man, deduced that Leanne must be someone of significance, especially with her striking looks.

The young receptionist at the desk couldn't take her eyes off Leanne, a mix of curiosity and panic in her gaze, fearful she had inadvertently offended someone important and would pay for it later. - As Leanne turned to leave, seeing the girl's near-tearful remorse, she offered a comforting word, "Don't worry. You're about to bite through your lip." Her tone was as gentle as her expression.

The receptionist blinked in confusion, but Leanne had already turned and walked away.

The metallic gray of the central business district's architecture gave off an air of modernity, and the natural stone paving of the streets looked cold and unwelcoming. Leanne's hands quickly grew numb.

Curtis used to warm her hands, sometimes even tucking them inside his coat for faster relief. The heat from his firm waist muscles would seep through the fabric, enveloping Leanne's icy fingers in a cozy warmth. At those moments, she would always be wrapped in his embrace.
