'TH drive!" It typically took only half an hour to reach the airport from his place. Plus, the road was clear
this time around, so it didn't take us long before we arrived at the airport.
Fortunately, there were not many people around. It was soon before we got our boarding passes and
went through the security check. After boarding the plane, Sawyer asked the stewardess for a blanket
and went back to sleep.
The flight from Ucrebury to Asherton took three hours. I had a short nap on the plane as well.
When I woke up, Sawyer was already staring at me as he said, "We'll head to the branch office first.
Once we deal with things there, well head to the hotel to sleep."
That sounded awkward.
I didn't think too much about it. After that, I drowsily followed Sawyer and got off the plane. There was
already a car sent by the branch company to pick us up. It was then a smooth journey to our next
destination.
The branch company was also a subsidiary company under Roberts Group, its modus operandi and
management style were similar to the latter. This branch company was headed by Director Hogan
Hathaway, with whom we got to exchange a few polite greetings.
After that, we had several small meetings with the
branch company's finance department and other divisions. When they ended, Sawyer received some
documents from the finance associates and left the company with me.
Staring at the pile of documents in his arms, I couldn't resist asking Sawyer, "Aren't you planning to
work in the company?"
"It's inconvenient!" He said as he sorted out the documents. Then he looked at me and continued, "I've
ordered a meal to be delivered directly to the hotel. Once you're done eating, you should get some
rest."
His attention to details almost caught me off guard and I nodded gently.
The hotel had been booked in advance. Once we entered the hotel, the porter led us to our rooms and
said, "Your meals have already arrived in this room. If you need anything else, feel free to give a call to
the concierge."
I nodded to the porter before entering the room with Sawyer. Although we had booked two rooms, I
didn't think it was necessary to eat separately since Sawyer had already ordered the meals.
After waking up in the wee hours of the morning into long hours of working and commuting, I was
famished and exhausted.
After having a simple meal, I got up and was ready to rest in the other room. However, Sawyer said to
me, "You can rest here. I'm heading to the other room soon."
As he was still eating, I didn't object either. The room we booked was an apartment- style
guesthouse. Our bedrooms were separated by a common living room.
I went straight into the bedroom, turned on the airconditioner while waiting for Sawyer to finish eating.
Once he left, I took a long bath and had a deep sleep. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
After what felt like a long rest, I woke up to find myself covered in a quilt. I could hear the fluttering
sound of document pages being flipped back and forth from the living room.
Stunned, I got up and went out to see Sawyer fully engrossed in flipping through the documents on the
sofa. From time to time, he would also key in some figures into his laptop.
It seemed that he didn't rest and had been busy working through the documents.
It was not a good habit to go to bed after eating. I sat in bed for a while as I could feel my stomach
churning.
After a long time, I walked out of the bedroom. Perhaps he was too focused on his work, Sawyer didn't
seem to notice me at all.
I placed a glass of water beside him and said, "You should take a break!"
He suddenly looked up, stunned, and then nodded blankly. It was only after he drank his water that he
seemed to regain his mental clarity. "You're awake!"
I nodded and looked at his report on the computer. I had to admit that Sawyer was indeed an excellent
leader when it came to his work.
He was highly efficient in finishing his tasks and he
almost had a certain charm to this side of himself.
After finishing the report, Sawyer rubbed his eyes and rested on the sofa with his hands below his
head. He said tiringly, "Mr. Hathaway from the branch company called just now. He wanted to invite us
for dinner tonight."
I nodded and said, "Okay, you should head back to your room and rest for a while."
