Chapter 99

I quickly opened the door, only to see Tom being supported by another man. "Are you… Ms. Summers?" the man asked. I nodded, somewhat puzzled as I looked at the stranger before me. He seemed to know who I was. "And you are…" "I'm William Anderson, Tom's assistant." "What happened to Tom?" I asked worriedly. "The project was successfully completed today. During the celebration, Mr. White was so happy that he had a bit too much to drink…" William explained. At that moment, Tom, who had been leaning groggily against William, suddenly opened his eyes. His dark gaze was surprisingly sharp despite the intoxication. There was still a hint of drunkenness in his demeanor, though. "Grace?" Tom asked. "Tom, you're awake?" I couldn't hide the relief in my voice. I thought I'd have to delay telling him about my move for another day. Thankfully, he was conscious now. Tom pushed William away and rubbed his own temples. "What's the matter? Were you looking for me?" I nodded quickly.
