Liam entered the door code. The door chimed and swung open. He reached for the light switch on thewall, flooding the living room with brightness. The spotless room revealed neatly stacked files on thetable. Blake ran her hand along the cabinet at the entrance, noting how neatly everything wasarranged.
‘Compared to this place, I’m living in a pigsty.’
She asked, “Where do you keep your medicine? I’ll get it for you. Sit on the sofa and rest for a while.”
Blake did not receive a response. When she looked over, Liam was already asleep on the sofa. Blakehad no choice but to look for the medicine. After a while, she finally found it in his room. After somethought, Blake put it back and returned to the living room. She boiled a pot of water, set it to keepwarm, and covered him with a blanket, thinking that when he woke up, he could have some warmwater.
She stepped forward, removed his shoes, and carefully laid him against a pillow.
After tucking him in, Blake hid on the sofa, watching him peacefully asleep. It was like watching an
adorable big golden retriever.
“Goodnight, Liam.” After saying the last words, she gently closed the door and left.
It was not too late, not even half past ten. Surprisingly, someone was already asleep, almost like it wasretired cadre resting hours. Blake also felt tired as she stayed up last night. She hammered her soreneck, and her phone suddenly rang when she was preparing to freshen up for bed. Without guessing,Blake knew who was calling, but she did not answer.
After showering, she wearily picked up her phone, seeing a missed call and a message from Kevin.[Come
out.]
Blake replied, [I’m going to bed now. If there’s something, we can talk about it tomorrow. Kevin, peoplewill get tired. I don’t have time to play along with your act at this hour.]
After sending the message, Blake placed her phone on the bedside to charge, muted it, and paid no
further attention.
A car was parked downstairs in the community with its headlights still on. The passenger seat held abag
wrapped in oily paper, packed to the brim with grilled pork. A strange smell filled the entire car, and
Kevin’s gaze turned cold as he read the reply. When he looked up, the lights upstairs had already gone
out. He closed the car window with a gloomy expression.
Blake woke up early feeling refreshed and went to the company. When Janice rushed to the office, she
saw Blake already snacking. She approached in surprise, “Blake, am I seeing things? You actuallyarrived

Blake said, “I went to bed early last night, so I came over early for snacks.”
Janice asked, “Don’t you have breakfast in the morning?”
“No! I do eat! Isn’t this the breakfast I have?” said Blake.
Janice retorted, “Blake, having this for breakfast isn’t healthy. Eat my sandwich instead. Two bunsshould
be enough for me.”
“Ah, it’s fine.” As soon as she finished, Kevin walked in from outside and knocked on her desk. “Come
with me to the office.”novelbin
Susan glared at Blake angrily with her makeup. Even with the heavy makeup, she could not concealthe bruising around her eyes, making it look absurd. After entering the office, Susan left with somedocuments, leaving Blake and Kevin in the spacious office.
Without lifting his head, Kevin said, “You don’t have to act anymore. You’re not needed now. Just follow
the routine from now on.”
