    Chapter 497 When the Wedding Loomed


    When she got back to thepany, the first thing she did was call a team meeting.


    After catching up on everyone’s progress, Dawn handed Mason a new assignment.


    “Go track down two people for me.”

    Light slipped through the loose strands of hair brushing her face, making her already striking features look almost unreal. She lowered her head, idly turning the ring on her finger as she said softly, “You should know Cindy, my uncle’s daughter. Unless something changed, she should’ve been in Meriax.”


    Mason paused. “Ms. West, you mean … you want her toe back to the country?”


    “It’d be great if she did.”


    Some things still had to start with this cousin.


    Dawn looked up. Her longshes swept up like two little brushes, moving with her blink and casting shifting shadows over her eyes. “And the other one … Micah, Andy’s younger brother.”


    Mason’s gaze darkened for a moment. Then he nodded. “I’ll get on it right away.”


    He turned and walked out.


    Dawn spun her office chair around so she faced the view outside.


    It was summer, but that kind of clear, vivid blue sky only appeared on the best days. Most days, you couldn’t even tell where the horizon was. Everything stayed hazy and washed–out.


    She let out a quiet breath.


    <i>Ethan</i><i>, </i><i>are </i><i>you </i><i>ready</i><i>? </i>


    <i>The </i><i>game </i><i>was </i><i>about </i><i>to </i><i>begin</i>.


    Aftering back to the country, Dawn and Ethan had both been swamped with work, and they sometimes went an entire day without seeing each other.


    Hannah had been worrying herself sick about it. So when she caught Dawn staying home a little longer that day, she quickly pulled her aside to check in. “You and Ethan … you’re not fighting again, are you?”

    Dawn blinked. “Hannah, why would you say that?”


    “Why would I say that…?”

    Hannah gave her a subtle side–eye and handed her a ss of milk. “Your mother–inw went on that trip with her girlfriends, right? Before she left, she kept reminding me to keep an eye on you two. If shees back and something’s wrong, I’m the one who’s doomed.”


    These two kids–who knew what was going on with them? It wasn’t just that they didn’t get up together in the morning; even when they came home, they always arrived one after the other.


    And that wasn’t supposed to be a problem?


    Dawn felt a little helpless. When it came to elders… some things just couldn’t be exined in a way they’d ept.


    All she could do was reassure her seriously, “We’re fine. We were both overseas for so long, and there’s a ton of work piled up. We’re just busy with our own things.”


    Hannah wasn’t fully convinced. “Really?”


    “Of course.”


    Dawn smiled, trying her best to show Hannah that she was in a good mood. “I’d never lie to you about something like this. If we were actually fighting, I’d just pack up and leave. No way I’d


    put up with him.”


    Well…


    That did kind of make sense.


    Hannah finally rxed. “Good, as long as everything’s fine. I heard from Mrs. Jackson that Ethan’s been working on the wedding stufftely. Once you two tie the knot and then go have a honeymoon baby on the honeymoon … oh boy, we’re all going to be so busy after that.”


    She was lost in her lovely little vision of the future,pletely missing the fact that the moment she mentioned the wedding, the smile on Dawn’s face faded a little.


    “Right. So you should take care of yourself while you have the time. The true busy days are still ahead.”


    With just a few lines, Dawn had Hannah wrapped around her finger again, and the woman finally went back to her room with a happy grin, probably to call Tara and give her an update.


    Dawn let her smile drop and sipped her milk, deep in thought.

    If Hannah hadn’t brought it up, she would have almost forgotten about the baby…


    She slowly lifted her hand andid it over her stomach.


    It was still so early.

    Aside from the asional pregnancy symptoms, she barely felt anything. And whether she should let this childe into the world… Dawn honestly hadn’t made up her mind.


    Or maybe, deep down, she just didn’t want to think about it at all.


    Her eyes darkened slightly, and she pushed the ss of milk across the table in irritation.


    She got up and headed out.


    It was still early before working hours. The few people who were already at the office were yawning nonstop, and after clocking in, they lined up at the break room to get coffee.


    Mason walked into the office area in a crisp suit. His nce drifted toward the CEO’s office across the way, and his eyebrows lifted in surprise. He hadn’t expected Dawn to be in this early today.


    He picked up a folder, knocked, and stepped inside.


    “Ms. West, this was today’s schedule.”


    Dawn skimmed it quickly. Thetest item was finished at eight–thirty.


    “I’ll be meeting a friend tonight. Cover thest engagement for me.”


    Mason nodded, hesitated for a second, then asked, “Have you been sleeping badlytely?”


    “Hm?<b>” </b>


    Dawn wasn’t sure why he brought that up out of nowhere. “It’s been fine. Why?”


    “It’s nothing…”


    “Oh, right.”


    She didn’t bother thinking about it any further and switched topics. “Anything new from Shawn?”


    “Nothing for now. His attendance has been pretty consistenttely. He shows up to ss on time every day and doesn’t do anything else.”

    “What about the people I asked you to find?”


    Dawn opened herptop. “Still no updates?”


    “Ms. Swanson should be flying back in the next couple of days. As for Micah…”

    Mason pressed his lips together, then nodded slightly. “Ever since your incident three years ago, he and his brother have barely appeared in public. I still haven’t been able to track down his current location.”
