Chapter 146
The maid bustled in with an update. “Yes! She carried all the luggage herself!”
“She’s really something” Sullivan remarked dryly before heading upstairs. Glancing of the clock, he realized it was too early to rise for the day, so he flopped back into bed, the faint scent of Megan still lingering on the pillow, ensnaring his soul
He loved that scent on Megan
Always so clean, with a hint of her gentle body wash. Every time they were intimate, he couldn’t help but bury his face in her hair, pulling her closest the thought was enough to unsettle Sullivan.
As he got dressed after freshening up, he wondered whether it was Megan’s delicate allure that was too tempting, or if his own desires were just too strong!
Yet, the more he thought, the angrier he got. Now, not even a single call from hert

She went straight to the venue to discuss matters with the management. Once they reached a preliminary agreement, she checked into her hotel
Harmony City’s CircumSphere Hotel, a single suite.
After settling in, Megan called Luke to update him, “Don’t worry, Luke, I’ve got the basics sorted. It looks like it’s going to turn out well.”
Luke sounded thrilled, knew I chose the right person for the job! Megan, you’ve nailed it! You’ve really bailed me out”
Megan chuckled, “it’s nothing major. You’re too kind, Luke.”

It was only then that Megan realized she was hungry. Glancing at the clock, it was already five in the evening.
The setting sun painted the sky a brilliant red, visible through the floor–to–ceiling windows
Feeling a little more at ease, Megan grabbed her purse and headed down to the hotel restaurant, unexpectedly running into someone she knew
Begonia Hunter
He must have been in town for a medical conference, accompanied by a mix of male and female colleagues. They were all grabbing some food from the hotel’s buffet while chatting.
Begonia did a double–take when he saw Megan.
After a brief word with his colleagues, he approached Megan. Under the glow of the chandeliers, he looked into her eyes and said softly. “What a nice surprise!”
Megan offered a faint smile. She looked up at him, her eyes glistening slightly.
She hummed in agreement, “Yes, quite the coincidence.”
The scene was, indeed, quite touching.

Begonia, dashing and vibrant, Megan, elegant and gentle. Their eyes locked, carrying too many complex emotions to articulate… like long–lost friends reunited.
This moment was captured and sent to Sullipan.
In the president’s office of the Lowry Group/ Sullivan sat on a grey sofa, silently observing the photograph of his wife exchanging looks with another man. Her smile was beautiful, her eyes sparkling like they held tiny stars.
Sullivan caressed the screen softly.
In his memory, it had been a long time since Megan had smiled like that!
Was meeting Begonia such a joy for her?
He started dialing her number, but the call wouldn’t connect, the phone endlessly repeating the same cold message: Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy now.. Sorry, the….
He kept calling, over and over, listening to the chill in the voice,
