Three weeks later...
"I miss you," Lexi said. "Two more days felt like forever." Indistinct noises came from the other end of the line. She wasn't able to analyze them as Ethan Lu's reception wasn't particularly good at the moment.
It's been almost a week since Ethan Lu went on a business trip for seven days. It was his fifth day today that he wasn't around. Hence, Lexi missed him more than she could say it. However, since she also needed to manage Beauty DR, especially now that she was taking part in formulating cosmetic samples, she couldn't fly to country M.
"Love, you don't know how I missed you too. Also, the twins — aya! I don't think I can stay here for another day." Dejected, Ethan Lu frowned as he truly yearned to hug Lexi and his children.
