Chapter: 424

Caden remained silent.

They hadn't spoken since their disagreement earlier in the day, and with tomorrow nearing, he wondered if she had secured the invitation.

Mr. Wade wasn't acquainted with her, and the invitees were notable figures.

Who could she possibly ask for assistance?

Then Hank remembered, “We tested the proposal Ms. Bennett submitted the other day, and the feedback has been quite favorable. We're just awaiting your go-ahead to begin mass production and launch.”

Caden's eyebrow rose. “She certainly has a knack for this Hank agreed with a smile, saying, "Ms. Bennett does have a flair.”

Back when Alicia was at school, everyone understood her capabilities.

That night, when Caden got back to the apartment, he found Alicia busy in the study.

At first, he didn't disturb her, but as midnight approached and she still hadn't retired to bed, his concern got the better of him, prompting him to knock on the study door.

Alicia quickly covered up the papers on her desk and looked up, her eyes red and weary. “Yes?"

Caden stood in the doorway. “Once a day. It's time."

Alicia responded coldly, “I'm on my period."

“Is that so?" Caden stepped inside. “Let's see about that."

Quickly, Alicia said, “Maybe we could do it twice tomorrow instead?"

"No."

"How come you can have it twice a day, but I can't push it back?"

Alicia retorted. "If you're feeling unsettled, why not go for a walk? Or if that won't suffice, I could arrange for a home service."

Caden was at a loss for words.

His expression hardened, and he left the room abruptly, without another word.

Alicia shrugged, and simply went back to work.

Not until after three in the morning did she finally complete her tasks. Feeling utterly exhausted, she could barely keep her eyes open.

She took a quick shower and went straight to bed.

The following morning, unfamiliar noises outside startled her awake.

Still feeling drowsy, she pulled the blanket over her head, hoping to continue sleeping. Just as she was drifting off again, something landed on her chest.

She groaned and tossed the blanket aside in frustration. "Caden, what is going on?"

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Caden standing at the door with an indifferent expression.

For a moment, she was taken aback.

Then she spotted the real culprit on the bed. It was Cade the dog sitting on her bed, gazing at her with innocent eyes and his tongue hanging out.

With a sigh, she picked him up and cuddled him, wishing to sleep a little longer.

However, Caden's voice pulled her out from her reverie. "He just finished pooping."
