When Tamera found out she had to work overtime again, she felt a little frustrated, but there was not much she could do After all, she was just a design assistant, she had no choice but to’grin and bear it for now.
Tamera reluctantly sat in the office, waiting as everyone slowly turned in their designs. Once the office finally emptied, she gathered all the designs into a folder and handed it off to Alyssa, who was also working overtime alongside her.
Ever since Tamera and Alyssa had a tense argument over Cathy’s decision to take the stairs last time, she’d been quietly irritated with Alyssa.

When she handed over the folder, her attitude was noticeably colder. “Here, all the design drafts you need. I don’t get it. Why are you rushing this department? Cathy said there was no hurry, but you’re still pushing. Impressive. You kept saying it was your superiors making you rush the department, but you were the one who was in a hurry. Are you trying to show off, aren’t you? Thanks to you, I’m stuck working overtime too,” she grunted.
Alyssa took the folder with a faint smile. “You think you’re working overtime because of me? Isn’t it more because you’re just a design assistant?” she replied.
Thus, she glanced at the empty desks where the designers usually sat. “If you were a designer, you’d be heading out early lik the rest of them,” she added.
Alyssa hit Tamera hard. Tamera clenched her teeth and gave Alyssa a sharp sight but could not say anything.
Alyssa grabbed the design draft and headed straight home. She had no intention of going to the 37th floor to drop the folder off and then come back down. The employee elevator had already shut down for the night, which meant she’d have to take the stairs up and then walk back down. She would choose to take the folder home instead.
She put the folder into her bag and went downstairs to the stairwell.
Meanwhile, Tamera quickly locked the door and followed after Alyssa, going down the stairs.
As she walked out of the building, she saw Andrew out from the convenience store next door, He was holding two loaves of bread. When Andrew saw her, he handed one over and simply said, “Dinner
Alyssa muttered, “Bread again? You must love it.”
“I don’t like it. But at this hour, what else was I supposed to eat if not bread?” Andrew replied.
“How about we grab something and I cook for you instead?” Alyssa offered, clearly not thrilled about the bread.
Andrew raised his eyebrows and replied, “I don’t want to challenge myself.” Then, he strolled to his car parked in front of a convenience store, opened the door, and sat in the driver’s seat. “Get in,” he said to Alyssa.
Alyssa then got into the car, buckled her seat belt, and continued their conversation. “Mr. Coleman, I’m good at cooking. How about we grab some ingredients and let me cook something for us?” Alyssa offered insitly.
Andrew stared deeply into her eyes and asked, “You’re right. What’s the misunderstanding here?”
Alyssa smiled dryly, realizing his refusal since he thought Alyssa could not cook.
Andrew started the car and said, “From now on, I’ll have Ms. Wolfe prepare dinner before we get home.”
Andrew always worked overtime. It made him handle dinner himself, which grabbed a piece of bread from the convenience store downstairs.
However, it was strange for Alyssa if both of them just ate bread.

Alyssa pursed her lips. “It’s up to you,” she said.
Andrew remained silent, kicked the pedal, and headed home.
At home, they sat at the dining table, each with a glass of plain water and a piece of cold tread. Mywa conddn’t remember the last time she had such a miserable dinner like that,
Then, Alyssa took her bread and water and went to her room.
