Bab 118: 118. Hayden's visit

Arabella's eyes darted toward the door of her cabin and her eyes widened in surprise when she found Hayden standing there with his hands inside his pockets.

Arabella's voice held a warm note of surprise as she looked up from her desk to see Hayden standing in her office doorway. Her face lit up with a genuine smile, and she wasted no time in rising from her chair to welcome him properly.

Hayden, with a friendly grin, responded to Arabella's questions. "Hi! What are you doing here?" she inquired, a sense of curiosity lacing her words.

As she walked toward him, her office environment offered a glimpse of her professional life. Shelves filled with neatly organized files and books lined the walls, a testament to her dedication and hard work. A large window offered a view of the cityscape outside, providing a contrast to the sanctuary of her workspace.
