Chapter 84

The moment Owen clocked out, he quickly packed his belongings, even tossing some urgent documents into his bag to deal with later. For a workaholic like him, this was unheard of. What surprised Timothy even more was that Owen headed straight back to Cordia. Well, perhaps it wasn't so unexpected. Aurora hadn't been in the best condition lately, so it made sense for him to return home early. But it made him wonder when Owen had become so thoughtful. Owen looked almost restless, like an employee anxiously waiting for the clock to strike five on a Friday before the weekend. … Night fell, and the city's lights came alive, painting a vibrant evening. Aurora had picked a barbecue restaurant near Cordia with stellar reviews. She had discovered it during her jogs, observing its steady stream of customers over several days before deciding to give it a try. The atmosphere was charming, situated along the waterfront with cozy booths by the window offering a stunning view of the nightscape.
