Chapter 2707
When His Eyes Opened
Layla: âBefore, 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.â
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.
Because there was only one flight to the Northland a day.
The only flight left at 7 oâclock in the morning.
That meant Layla had to be at the airport by six tomorrow morning.
It was about an hourâs drive from Fosterâs house to the airport.
So at 5 oâclock 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 oâclock.
That didnât 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 sheâd do when she moved to the Northland. And reminded her that the temperature
in the Northland was very low now.
After Layla replied âon business tripâ, she put down her phone and went to wash up.
At 6 oâclock, 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.
âBoss, didnât your family send you here?â
âI didnât ask them to. I got up at 4:30, so itâs unnecessary to ask them to wake up early.â Layla bought
coffee and steamed buns. She wasnât 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.
The assistant was dumbfounded: âBoss, you eat like this, arenât you afraid of choking?â
Layla: âDonât you think this steamed bun is a bit small?â
The assistant couldnât help but laugh: âBoss, is there no one you care about here? You donât pay
attention to your own image at all.â
Layla: âIâm the only one who picks men, and itâs not my turn to pick me.â
So she could eat one steamed bun if she wanted, and if she wanted to eat two, it wouldnât hurt her.
âBoss, you are so domineering! I adore you more and more.â
âStop flattering me. I didnât sleep well last night, and Iâm so sleepy now.â 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 âbusiness tripâ, Eric did not reply.
Yes, Eric probably hadnât woken up yet; itâs only half past six.
She suddenly saw a news on the screen.
The title caught her attention â Can men and women who are unable to be lovers become friends
again?
She clicked on the news and read it carefully â
