It made her wonder how lucky she was to coincidentally text him right when he had his phone with him. But again, whatever appeased him worked for her.
However, her peace was shattered that very night when she fell into a series of nightmares once again.
When she woke up, she was panting hard. Her entire body was covered in cold sweat.
Just like before, this time also she saw the entire series of events that led up to Adrian’s death.
Ella remained seated on the bed for a few seconds.
After a while, she grabbed her phone and stared at the caller ID ’Baby’ for a few seconds.
Ella hesitated. It was barely even 5 am. He should probably be asleep.
But then, eventually, she could not resist typing a message.
Ella: Baby, are you awake?
After staring at the phone for a while, Ella clicked her tongue. What top doctors? Those doctors were all scammers.
Look at Adrian now. Isn’t he sleeping peacefully? They exaggerated his condition so much that—
’Ping’
Adrian: Mm.
"_"
He wasn’t sleeping after all.
Ella glanced at the ’Mm’ for a few seconds before she swiped on his number.
After a few rings, the man answered the call, ’’Good morning, baby. May you shine as bright as the sun today~Ah, you are brighter than the sun already...’’
In the King Empires.
The conference hall had gotten eerily quiet by this point.
Their Boss had been laidback for a couple of weeks and they had thought he probably decided to be less of a workaholic.
But who could have known that their Boss’s phase would only last for a few days?
Now he was back in form and with stronger force.
And all their incomplete tasks caught up to them so the higher ups had all gathered around for an important meeting in the middle of the night.
First, their Boss’s phone beeped.
Second, Secretary Ji peeked at it and showed something.
Then, the frigid atmosphere in the room melted into warm waves as their Boss... Their Boss suddenly smiled.
And then, he took the phone, typed something before returning it to Secretary Ji.
It was only at this point that the phone in Ji Yan’s hand suddenly started ringing.
He was so startled that he almost dropped the phone seeing the caller ID ’Elle *red heart emoji*’
Oh, unlike the last time, there were even two red heart emojis.
Feeling the Second Master’s gaze fixated on him, he was about to pass the phone but in his fluster he swiped a couple of buttons.
And suddenly, the call was answered and the phone was on speaker.
A cheery and honeyed voice reverberated in the walls of the meeting room.
"Good morning, baby. May you shine as bright as the sun today~Ah, you are brighter than the sun already..."
Ji Yan: "_"
The rest of the people in the meeting room: "_"
And much to everyone’s surprise, Adrian did not twitch in eyelid at the sound of this overtly cringe display of affection.
But rather, he calmly turned the speaker off and put the phone against his ear.

On the other hand, unbeknownst to Ella, the employees of the King Empires celebrated over the declaration of a one-day holiday.
