Chapter 1248 New News (1/2)

Emily woke up in a room flooded with warm sunshine. She faintly opened her eyes, which fell upon the yellow night lamp that had remained on throughout the night.

Adapting to the brightness, she moaned in frustration. Finally, she noticed Rita sleeping right next to her.

She was taken aback. Frowning, she tried to recall what had happened last night. A flood of vague memories rushed into her head like waves across a shore. It didn't take her a long time to realize that she had relapsed.

Of late, her relapses were becoming more and more frequent. To add to that, her behavior was bordering on irrational every day now. Although her suicidal thoughts were better in control than before, her mental state was terrible. All thoughts were lost in her head like a riot.

She was so puzzled and frustrated. Her sanity had diminished to an extent that she could no longer comprehend the consequences of her own actions!

Now, she was holding her head in her hands, trying to compose herself. She took a few deep breaths, like her doctor had suggested her to do every time she thought she was spiraling. The first thing that came to her mind was the launch event that was going to be held the following day.

She took a look at her watch. Less than twelve hours remained until the launch! The main drawings were yet to be done. If she couldn't finish them on time, she would crumble with humiliation at the launch.

She couldn't sit there and be miserable anymore, even though her body felt extremely heavy, her mind even more so. She managed to push the quilt aside and dragged herself to the bathroom to freshen up. Not even waiting for her customary cup of morning tea and cookies, she proceeded to work on the design, even if her stomach growled.

There wasn't a lot of time left, but she was determined to make the best of all the ideas that came to her, treating each of them like glimmers of hope.

Love and Dream was her dream project! It was almost a fairyland that Jacob had created for her. It meant the world to her and consequently to Jacob. Emily couldn't imagine being the reason for the company's bankruptcy.

Hunched over the desk, she didn't realize that her movement, however swift it was, had woken Rita up.
