Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 43

The phone call at lunch had left my mind in turmoil, and as a result, the voiceover work in the afternoon was far from as smooth as it had been in the morning.

However, I was determined to finish work and head home soon, so I forced myself to focus and get back into the rhythm.

Ultimately, I was delayed by half an hour before I could leave.

After saying goodbye to my colleagues, I hurriedly grabbed my bag and ran downstairs.

As soon as I reached the first floor, I saw a tall figure leaning against the reception.

Perhaps it was due to his military background, but even though he stood there relaxed, his distinguished aura drew the attention of every woman who passed by, none of whom dared to approach him.

After all, his presence screamed wealth and power—definitely not someone to mess with.

"Sorry, I had to work overtime. Thanks for waiting."

Tom didn't seem bothered at all. He flashed me a smile. "Let's go."

We drove straight to Harvest Pavilion on Luna Street.

The setting sun painted the sky with a brilliant red glow, casting a beautiful light through the clouds and leaving a striking silhouette on the face.

When we arrived at Harvest Pavilion, everything seemed to be going smoothly. But then it hit me—since we were attending a banquet, I would have to change clothes.

I was still wearing the light green dress I had bought with Dawn the day before, and as for Tom...

Even though his dark gray sweatshirt was neatly fitted, it was still out of place for this event.

This was Harvest Pavilion, a place where only the most influential people gathered.

If Tom and I showed up dressed like this, we would likely become the center of attention.

Just as I tried to figure out how to bring it up, he confidently led me into the grand entrance hall. We entered the elevator after swiping his card and unlocking the door with his fingerprint.
