Chapter 459 The City That Never Sleeps (1/2)

When Carla woke up the next day, it was already afternoon.

Still with her eyes closed, she got up in a sitting position, placed her arms as high as she could and stretched her muscles. Then, she remained seated on the bed for a few more moments in silence.

She worked so late last night that she didn't even know what time she fell asleep or how she got in bed.

Since it was already midday, she thought that it would be better to stay at home that day. After all, she had flexible working hours where she could decide what time she would work. It was the main reason why she chose the job.

As long as she could finish the design of the logo by the end of the week, the company wouldn't mind whether she came to the office every day or not.

Carla continued to stretch her muscles but when she tried to move her neck, she felt shooting pain.

She felt a little confused so she tried to twist her neck in the other direction. To her surprise, she only felt more pain. She thought that it must have been because of her bad posture when she was working and how she slept on the table last night. Rubbing her neck softly, she picked up her mobile phone from the bedside table.

There were two new voice messages.

Curious, she immediately opened them and found out that both messages were sent by Terence that morning.

She played the first one and Terence's voice filled the room. ”Rest at home today. Don't bother yourself about going to the office. I saw the drafts that you made. Congratulations! You've done a really good job. They were very innovative and creative,” Terence sounded with a little excitement.

Now with a light feeling in her heart, Carla played the other message. ”I've taken two of the drafts to the company. From those two, I'm going to make the Planning Division devise a detailed marketing plan. You can make more of those drawings slowly. You don't need to be in a hurry. More importantly, if you keep working late like you did last night, I will not let you keep the job anymore,” Terence stated firmly.

Carla played the two voice messages that Terence had sent again and again. She was so happy at first but then, she pouted deeply.

She pondered quietly in her heart, 'What does he mean when he said that I'm not allowed to stay up late?

Whenever inspiration would come to me, I have to quickly draw them on the paper. Or else, the inspiration might be gone just like that. Does he understand that unless I execute the idea that I have, I wouldn't be able to sleep?'

She listened to the voice messages two more times and couldn't help but giggle every time she heard Terence say that she did a really good job. Although the pain in her neck still made her uncomfortable, she felt rather fulfilled and satisfied at that moment.

She had actually been planning to explain and present her ideas to him. She was just waiting for the right time when she could make enough drawings. What she didn't expect was that he would be able to understand her plans really quickly just by looking at her drafts.

She had made the right choice in choosing the man to marry. They understood each other really well. With that thought, Carla couldn't help but smile as she lay on the bed once more.

Just when Carla's heart was overflowing with happiness, her phone rang. She picked it up, only to find her Aunt's name on the screen.

Needless to say, she was surprised to see that she was calling her. But then she let out a long sigh when she realized that it might have something to do with Lynn, her cousin.

”Hello, Carla?
