Chapter 2707
Layla: “Before, I hardly ever went on business trips. My parents did not want me to be overly worn out. I previously
gave them a lot of attention. But as I sit here and reflect, how can I possibly be afraid of difficulty and exhaustion at
work? Life for me cannot be like this, not just at work. I need to step outside of the safe haven my parents have
provided for me if I want to improve.”
Hazel nodded fiercely, expressing her agreement with what Layla said.
At night, before going to bed, Layla posted a circle of friends.
She sent a picture of the snow scene in the Northland, and a ticket to the Northland, with the attached text: Looking
forward to this trip to the Northland.
After posting to Moments, Layla fell asleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause there was only one flight to the Northland a day.
The only flight left at 7 o’clock in the morning.
That meant Layla had to be at the airport by six tomorrow morning.
It was about an hour’s drive from Foster’s house to the airport.
So at 5 o’clock in the morning, she had to go out.
She had to get up at least 4:30 in the morning in order to leave at 5 o’clock.
That didn’t include breakfast time.
She rarely got up so early, so she kept thinking about it.
She controlled herself not to play with her mobile phone, but her sleep was still poor.
She woke up a few times during the night, stayed awake for a while, and then went back to sleep. Last but not least,
until the phone alarm clock went off.
She lifted the quilt as if relieved, sat up, and turned on the light in the room.
When turning off the alarm clock, she saw a message from Eric.
He asked her what she’d do when she moved to the Northland. And reminded her that the temperature in the
Northland was very low now.
After Layla replied ‘on business trip’, she put down her phone and went to wash up.
At 6 o’clock, Layla arrived at the airport and met her colleagues who were on a business trip.
After completing all procedures, the four of them waited in the VIP waiting room.
“Boss, didn’t your family send you here?”
“I didn’t ask them to. I got up at 4:30, so it’s unnecessary to ask them to wake up early.” Layla bought coffee and
steamed buns. She wasn’t very hungry, but she knew that drinking coffee on an empty stomach can cause stomach
pains, so she took a steamed bun and ate it one bite at a time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe assistant was dumbfounded: “Boss, you eat like this, aren’t you afraid of choking?”
Layla: “Don’t you think this steamed bun is a bit small?”
The assistant couldn’t help but laugh: “Boss, is there no one you care about here? You don’t pay attention to your
own image at all.”
Layla: “I’m the only one who picks men, and it’s not my turn to pick me.”
So she could eat one steamed bun if she wanted, and if she wanted to eat two, it wouldn’t hurt her.
“Boss, you are so domineering! I adore you more and more.”
“Stop flattering me. I didn’t sleep well last night, and I’m so sleepy now.” After finishing eating, Layla started to
drink coffee.
With uncontrollable fingers, she took out the phone from the bag to see if Eric replied to the message.
After she sent ‘business trip’, Eric did not reply.
Yes, Eric probably hadn’t woken up yet; it’s only half past six.
She suddenly saw a news on the screen.
The title caught her attention — Can men and women who are unable to be lovers become friends again?
She clicked on the news and read it carefully —
