In the recent few days, Arwen was also so occupied at work that she didn't get time to have more than needed conversations with Aiden.
Not that she didn't try. She did. But every time they would be on call, they would be interrupted by someone or the other. And when they chatted online, she would doze off halfway.
In the end, she wasn't feeling satisfied with those little talks here and there.
Although it had only been a few days, she felt like years had already passed since she last saw him or even felt him around her.
And, that feeling was making her feel restless inside, which was further making her itchy and annoyed over every small thing around her.
Mia had never seen her like this before. The boss she has always been with was so well-tempered that she never felt any pressure working around.
But recently, she felt like something wasn't right.
It wasn't like Arwen was being rude or chastising people wilfully. But in usual situations, she wouldn't lose her patience that easily, which clearly said she wasn't in the right shape.
Concerned for her, Mia couldn't hold herself back from asking, "Ma'am, did something happen recently? You quite don't look like yourself."
Arwen was reviewing the new project details when she heard Mia speaking beside her. She didn't respond to deny it straight because she had realized how fickle her mood had grown.
"Is it because of the busy work schedule you have had recently?" Mia asked again when she didn't hear Arwen respond. "If the work is tiring you out, I can postpone a few things from your plans and it won't be a big problem. It will give you both time and space to relax."
As her secretary, she was truly concerned. If she could she wanted to help her in all possible ways.
Arwen felt the warmth of her concern. Her lips curved up slightly at the corners as she shook her head. "I am fine, Mia," she spoke slowly. "Maybe it's just that I am getting tired recently. But it's fine. You don't need to postpone anything from my schedule. Everything on the list is important and we can't afford to delay it. The anniversary is around the corner. We have to complete things as soon as possible so that we can use them to boost the brand value of Davies Empire."
Mia understood what Arwen meant. There was a rush and almost everyone was already preparing for it.
At this point, slacking even the slightest will affect the efficiency of the whole workforce.
In the end, Mia only nodded.
While Arwen resumed her work, she remembered something she seemed to have forgotten and turned to her secretary again, "Oh yes, Mia, I almost forgot to tell you that I have finished reading the idea report of your sister. And I must say she is really capable."
Mia hadn't forgotten about this, however, she didn't know how she should mention it again. Hence, even when she was curious, she held it in.
But now that Arwen has brought it up herself, she didn't know how she should react. "You read it?" she asked, still in disbelief.
She didn't know what she wanted to say. But she wanted to express her deep felt gratefulness. freёweɓnovel.com
But Mia still insisted.
In the end, Arwen didn't force her more. After half an hour, she wrapped her work and gave Alfred the call to bring the car to the entrance.
When she got down, the car was already waiting for her.
Alfred opened the door for her and she easily slipped in. When he returned to his driver's seat, Arwen spoke.
"Alfred, before going home, I need you to drive me somewhere else," she said as she shared the location coordinates with him.
The drive wasn't far from the company, but it still took a while. When Alfred looked out the window, he was slightly confused.
"Madam, we have arrived," he informed, and Aren smiled, giving him a nod.
"Okay, please wait here. I will be back soon. It won't take me a long time."
Alfred once again looked at the place where they had stopped and his expression showed hints of doubt. Hesitating, he offered, "Madam, do you need me to come with you?"
