When There Is Nothing Left But Love

After answering the call, I heard Nora’s voice from the other end. “Babe, I’ll have to return to the city. See you there.”

I froze for a while when I heard her sudden declaration. “What’s wrong? Why are you going back suddenly?” From how I know her, she will follow Armond around. Armond’s still here, so why is she leaving?

She explained, “I’m here for quite long. There’s nothing left for me to enjoy. I’ll go back to the city and hang out with Tabitha and Laurel for a few days. I’ll wait for you, and once you’re back, let’s go out and have fun.”

I nodded. She must be bored with Lavelian Village. After all, we were all busy with work and didn’t have the time to hang out with her. Days went by, and I could see that her interest was running thin.

“Okay, have a safe trip then. I’ll call you when I get back.” I still had some work on my hands, so I couldn’t see her off.

She hummed a reply and said, “Oh, by the way, what’s with Ashton and Rebecca yesterday? Don’t tell me she’s one of his admirers. She seems gentle, but I can tell that she’s way difficult than that Rachel. Can you handle it?”

I smiled gently at her concern. “It’s fine. Ashton only sees her as his sister. It’s no biggie, so don’t worry.”

After gossiping for a while, we said our goodbyes and hung up.

Leedon looked at me and asked, “Ms. Stovall, have you had lunch yet? Let’s eat together.”

I nodded and got up from my seat. As we were leaving the office, he said, “I’ve heard that the representatives of the third party for this project reached Lavelian Village today. We’ll have to meet up with them for the next few days.”

I gave a brief reply since I was rather unbothered by it. These types of extensive projects would naturally involve third parties as the construction and funds were enormous.
