CHAPTER 446 – Taking a Toll on Her

The persistent knocking on the door shattered the tranquillity of the morning, jolting Andromeda from her peaceful slumber.

Groaning softly, she called out, her voice laced with drowsiness, "Who is it?"

The voice on the other side responded respectfully, "Young Miss, please forgive me for disturbing your sleep. I didn't expect anyone to be home at this hour."

Curiosity mixed with annoyance, Andromeda inquired further, "Wait, who is it?" Her eyes darted to the clock, freezing as she read the time.

12:05 p.m.

A wave of panic washed over her as she realized her predicament. Without holding back her frustration, she let out a stream of curses, forgetting the presence of her unexpected visitor.

"Fuck! Xueyi!"

"Ms. Kai?"

Her ears perked up, recognizing the familiar voice and Andromeda quickly composed herself, not wanting to reveal her dishevelled state.
