Work

Reina walked back to her room, the happiness she had been feeling suddenly disappeared, and she faced a reality check.

"Why was I feeling happy? Just because they welcomed me warmly doesn't mean this was truly my home. what the hell was wrong with me?" Reina chuckled at her naivety.

"But I never understand, why he hates me so much. I never said anything to him. What if he didn't want me to stay here? I am an outsider, and many people dislike having strangers around. Yes, that must be the reason. But what can I do now? My parents would never let me live alone in a foreign country, regardless of my efforts." Reina slumped onto her bed, expressing, "I hate being a burden, but I'm left with no choice. From now on, I'll keep my distance, as far away from him as possible." Reina decided.

Xavier's mood had been getting worse since morning, and the burden of his emotions weighed him down.

"Ever since this woman arrived, I've been feeling extremely irritated. I don't even know why." He tossed the pen onto the desk.

"Why was I so rude to her? I just can't figure out why I dislike her." Lost in his thoughts, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Yes," his assistant, Clarie John, entered.

"Mr. Knight, you have a meeting in ten minutes," Clarie said, shamelessly eyeing her handsome boss.

"Alright," he responded without giving her a single glance.

The sun had barely risen when Reina woke up early. Quietly, she had her breakfast and informed Mia Knight about her plans. Wanting to seize the day, Reina left the house before anyone else stirred.

She visited various places, meticulously surveying potential locations for her architecture firm. After three hours of careful consideration, Reina completed the paperwork and purchased the ideal office space under her name.

The chosen office was a haven for creativity, fully furnished and tailored for design purposes. She immersed herself in making a list of the things she needed to buy for the office. Her concentration was interrupted by the ringing of her mobile phone.

Checking the message, she saw it was from her uncle, Mr. Aaron Knight.

[Uncle: Reina, I'm sending you a girl's number. If you need any help, ask her. Her name is Sara. ****************** Her number.]

[Reina: Thank you, uncle.]

"Thank God. My problem has been solved. I was just wondering where to buy furniture," Reina thought to herself

After making the complete list, Reina dialed the number he had sent her.

Sara: Hi Reina.

Reina was taken aback, wondering how Sara knew her name.

Reina: Hi Sara. Uncle Aaron gave me your number. Will you please help me? I want to buy some furniture and some necessary things. But I don't know where the shops are, as I'm new here.

Reina asked Sara for assistance with utmost politeness.

Sara: Yeah, sure. Just text me your location. I'm coming to pick you up in 10 minutes. And then we will go shopping. And yes, don't be surprised; Uncle told me about you this morning.

Reina: Alright, I am waiting.

She said and cut the call 

"I never thought I would do something like this without you, Allen," she thought sadly

At the mansion:

Lara: Mom, where is Reina?

Everyone was having breakfast at the dining table when Lara noticed Reina's absence, she asked Sophia Knight, who had just come from the kitchen.

Sophia Knight looked at the empty seat "I don't know, I think she is sleeping"

Mia Knight: She left early in the morning for her company's work.

Lara: Oh...

"But how did she go alone? She doesn't even know the way here." Xavier first thought sincerely, then said

Mia Knight looked at her son, her tone serious, "After the way you treated her yesterday, I don't think Reina would feel comfortable accepting any help from us. Your behavior was so rude and harsh. I am very disappointed because of your behavior. You are 34 years old yet behave like a child sometimes" Mia Knight scolded her son 

Xavier remained silent and quietly listened to his mother scolding him.

Xavier: I am Sorry

Mia Knight: You should apologize to Reina, not me

He didn't reply and left for the office.

However, a strange feeling of discomfort began to emerge within him...
