Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Utterly Exhausted On my way to Solaris, I looked out the plane window at the clouds.

Suddenly, I thought of an unexpected person.

I hadn’t seen or heard from Atlas since the divorce proceedings concluded.

Although he hadn’t called, I somehow felt disappointed.

Still, I kept my distance, not wanting to get too close to him.

Despite my efforts, I couldn’t help but wonder why he hadn’t called or even texted me.

Strangely, I saw a missed call from him after turning my phone on when the plane landed.

My mind raced, but I returned the call after some hesitation.

Atlas asked, “Where are you?” “I just landed in Solaris,” I replied.

“Alone?” “Yeah.” “All right safe.” His tone was distant, and he didn’t seem interested in continuing the conversation.” I’ll hang up now.” I was frustrated.

Atlas called me, yet he didn’t intend to say much.

I was about to ask why he called, but he had already hung up.

I sighed and pocketed my phone, feeling conflicted.

When I met Fred this time, he seemed much better.

He knew I had arrived and sent someone to pick me up from the airport.

Immediately after, I went to Urban Builders, and they wasted no time holding a project coordination meeting.

We discussed a detailed analysis of the upcoming ATL Empire project and made the necessary preparations.

We also used their blueprints to draft a comprehensive design and construction plan.

Then, they presented a cooperation plan for my company.

They provided precise requirements and a well–defined direction for my work.

I felt confident about what I was doing.

The meeting lasted until late evening, and we had dinner in the meeting room.

Afterward, Fred sent me to the hotel they had arranged for me.

I accepted their hospitality.

My schedule was tight, with only two days in Solaris.

I had to return to Foswood the following afternoon.

I was exhausted after taking a shower.

It slowed my progress.

I worked hard to maintain relationships with suppliers.

I could only afford about four hours of sleep each night.

After today’s three–hour flight, I dived into intense work.

It was close to 11 p.m.

now, and I had reached my limit.

I wanted to call home but realized it was too late.

My parents and Ava must’ve slept already.

I knew I had a busy day ahead when I thought about finalizing details with Fred tomorrow and returning home the day after.

I had to sign the contract with ATL Empire in two days and outsource the agreement with Ardora Construction.

Soon, I went to sleep.

I didn’t know how much time had passed when a series of knocks on the door startled me awake.

I sat up with a racing heart, wondering who it was.
