Romina and Nadine were also unable to sleep that night.Â
The only one who slept soundly was the man lying in the same bedroom as Romina.Â
***Â
The next day, when Joaquin woke up, he didn’t see any sign of Romina.Â
Jericho, along with Nadine and Kashton, was already sitting at the dining table having breakfast.Â
“Joaquin, come have breakfast.”Â
Although there had been some unpleasantness between Jericho and Joaquin over Romina the previous day, Jericho still called him to eat.Â
Joaquin didn’t respond, but instead asked, “Where is Ms. Sandoval? Why haven’t I seen her come down?”Â
“She wasn’t in the bedroom when I woke up. I guess she got up early to work!”Â
Jericho’s voice was low, a trace of displeasure appearing on his face.Â
The man nodded slightly and walked silently toward the door.Â
After getting in the car, he took out his phone and called Romina.Â
At this moment, wellness clinic.Â
Romina was seeing patients, overwhelmed with work.Â
Her phone, placed in the drawer, kept vibrating, but she simply had no time to answer it.Â
Miguel suddenly developed a high fever and called Romina carly in the morning, saying he needed to take half a day off.Â
The wellness clinic had just opened, and there were relatively more patients these days, so she arrivedÂ

early to get started.Â
Around noon, Miguel, looking exhausted, appeared at the wellness clinic.Â
Romina looked up at him, a bit surprised: “Miguel, it’s not even the afternoon yet! Why did you come so early?”Â
“I just couldn’t stop worrying about you handling all the patients alone, so I came over early.”Â
“Are you sure your body can handle it?”Â
Romina’s gaze fell on his haggard face, a trace of concern surfacing in her eyes.Â
“It’s fine, I’ve already taken some medicine. I feel much better now.”Â
Miguel changed into his white coat and quickly got into work mode.Â
It wasn’t until lunchtime that Romina saw the call Joaquin had made to her that morning.Â
She was about to call Joaquin back when her secondary phone suddenly rang–it was an unfamiliar number.Â
Romina answered the call.Â
It turned out to be an old client wanting her to repair a quartz. After coordinating with him, Romina completely forgot about Joaquin’s call.Â
In the afternoon, the client delivered the quartz to Elliana, who sent Romina a photo after receiving it.Â
Because Romina couldn’t reveal her identity publicly, many of the quartz clients handled their transac- tions through Elliana.Â
This tacit understanding between the two had existed for many years, so most clients had never seen Romina in person.Â
By the time Romina finished work, it was already eight in the evening.Â
Just as she locked the main door of the wellness clinic, she saw a familiar figure standing by the door of a Maybach.Â
When her gaze landed on the man’s face, she suddenly froze for a moment.Â
Her mind was filled with images of their kiss from the previous night.Â
She stood rooted to the spot, unmoving, as Joaquin strode over and stopped in front of her: “I called you this morning. Why didn’t you answer?”Â
