RedNovelChapter 6 "I'll do it myself." Adrian brushed off Harper's hand and clumsily dressed himself. After washing up, he bounded downstairs for breakfast.
He found the dining room empty-just him and the quiet morning. His father, Lysander, had left early for work at the company.
After eating, Adrian indulged in cartoons and video games, losing himself in the vibrant distractions. But a whole morning of solitary play quickly grew dull. He longed for Giselle's company.
However, his father had made it clear yesterday that they were busy and Adrian shouldn't visit the office.

Sterling Bank, Technical Department.
In the conference room, members from front-end, back-end, UI design, and product management gathered for a meeting.
"Are these the final requirements for the shopping page? Can we confirm this?" Mila asked, her eyes fixed on the projected document on the wall displaying the new company requirements and UI designs.
After receiving confirmation from the product and UI teams, she reiterated, "Alright, let's proceed with this. Front and back ends, organize your tasks and handa detailed timeline by the end of the day. Address any issues before you leave." "Meeting adjourned." With that, Mila exited the room, heading to the Technical Director's office. She had been in back-to-back meetings since she arrived that morning, and now she needed a moment to breathe before submitting her resignation.
Mila was a key player in the company with significant skills, so the director was eager to persuade her to stay. However, once he realized her decision was firm and that she intended to switch careers, not join a competitor, he reluctantly agreed.
"You can leave, but you'll need to find a capable replacement to take over your responsibilities." "Of course." With that settled, Mila contacted HR to initiate the recruitment of a senior programmer, promising to interview candidates soon.
After handling these tasks, she made her way to the break room for a dose of cold medicine. The previous night's chill hadn't left her, and a morning full of meetings had left her head pounding and appetite absent.
With the medicine easing her discomfort, Mila stood still for a moment before pulling out her phone to dial a familiar number her great-aunt's.

Her great-aunt's words from years ago still echoed in her mind. "Wasting your talent for a man, what folly! Don't cto seeagain.
Considerwithout a niece!"
With her grip tight on the phone, Mila hesitated. She hadn't abandoned her dreams over the years just hadn't O devoted herself fully to them. But her great-aunt had never approved of her divided focus.
After a moment of indecision, Mila decided against calling and instead sent her great-aunt a message. "Great-Aunt, I'm back." She added her name, "Lillian," and attached a picture of a cloud-patterned symbol. No sooner had she sent the message than several news alerts flashed across her phone screen with bold headlines.
