Chapter 37 Insane
After Athena had just logged out of her Instagram, her
phone beeped with a notification, and a message from Byron popped up: [?]
Athena had no intention of responding to his message.
Byron then opted to call her right away.
The entitled young master, frustrated that he could not view her Instagram, grew increasingly restless.
Athena intentionally ignored his phone call.
Yet, after considering the situation, she realized it was better
to secure him in the meantime since she would leave.
Athena then answered the phone call.
She asked, “Mr. Crawford, don’t you realize what time it is
now?”
Byron retorted, asking, “What happened to your Instagram?
Why was it set to private?”
“I set it that way,” Athena replied, lying down as she felt sleepy
please end the call. I’m exhausted.”
Mockingly, he said, “Oh, you were so exhausted but miraculously found the time to go and tweak your
Instagram?”
Athena replied with a simple “Yeah.”
A gentle “Yeah” grazed Byron’s heart like the fuzzy tail of a kitten, leaving a tingling sensation.
With that, he ran his tongue across his lips.
Athena questioned, “How is Miss Ross doing?”
Byron responded, “She’s alright.”
“That’s good to hear. Otherwise, I would have felt so guilty…” Maybe due to her being so sleepy,
Athena eased up and spoke her thoughts freely.
When he heard her words, Byron’s heart clenched, and he frowned and interjected, “Don’t say that, it’s
not your fault.”
Athena did not say anything in response.
Byron could hear her breathing gradually grow calm and
steady.
Since Athena brought up the idea of breaking up, Byron felt restless daily and even lost his appetite.
Until yesterday, he held her in his arm, feeling her gentle breath, warmth, and heartbeat.
Every ounce of negative emotions gradually dissipated. It was like a lost soul finally discovering the
path back home.
.
As he listened to Athena’s breath through the phone, Byron could not bring himself to end the call.
The following morning.
Athena woke up and saw that the phone call was still ongoing and had a brief reaction and pondered.
The first thought that struck her was that she felt fortunate her phone’s battery had not drained.
Otherwise, the phone would have shut off after such a long call throughout the night.
The following thought of her was that Byron truly lost his
mind.
“Are you up?” Byron’s voice came through on the phone.
She was just about to say something.
Athena could hear a gentle voice, slightly muffled from Byron’s end of the call.
“Byron, what do you want for breakfast?”
Athena’s body went rigid.
While Athena’s mind was still processing, her body responded instinctively as she abruptly ended the This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
call.
She promptly added Byron’s number to the list of blocked contacts without wasting any time.
Everything was handled effortlessly.
Following that, she clung to the phone, wearing a look of sheer absurdity.
Under her breath, she murmured in disbelief, “Not only is Byron a jerk, but he even has these
disgusting fetishes?”
Athena had a flashback of last night. He was on the phone with her while possibly with Heather at the
same time…
When the thought entered her mind, Athena instantly felt nausea, forcing her to dash to the bathroom
and barf.
After emptying her stomach, Athena noticed several unread
atsApp messages from Byron on her phone.
Byron messaged: [Did you block my number?]
[Unblock my number right now!]
[Athena, you’re getting more daring by the day!]
Athena would have been more than happy to block Byron on WhatsApp if it were not for work-related
concerns.
She then chose to ignore Byron’s messages.
She got dressed, picked up her laptop bag, and headed downstairs.
There was a black business car parked at the hotel’s ground level. Upon seeing Athena, he exited the
vehicle and opened the car door for her.
Wearing a flashy suit, Gideon sat inside the car with his legs crossed and casually greeted her, “Well,
good morning, Miss
Newton.”
“Morning.”
Athena greeted him and got into the car.
Her face wore a colder demeanor than usual.
Gideon had a feeling that Athena was not in a great mood.
He did not want to bother her either.
After the vehicle started moving, he wore an eye mask and dozed off.
Having arrived here, Gideon did not sleep well due to the unfamiliar environment.
Athena paid no mind to him.
She had been exchanging emails with someone.
