?Chapter 195:


    As the secretary arrived at the construction site, Cedric was deep in conversation on the phone.


    Not wanting to interrupt, the secretary quietly moved past him. As he did, ude Vazquez scrunched his nose in distaste.


    “Benny, what’s that awful smell on you?”


    Benny Szar let out augh.


    “Thepany bought andfill to turn into a cemetery. I was just there.”


    ude gestured toward the object in Benny’s hand.


    “Do you paint?” Benny looked down at the sketchbook in his hand, a slight frown forming.


    “This? How did I end up with this? I found it in the trash. It was so hot; I just used it to cool myself off.”


    As he spoke, he made a move to toss the sketchbook away, but when he saw Cedric finishing his call nearby, he quickly grabbed some documents from his bag and shoved the sketchbook inside.


    That night, the entire Olisvinendfill was scoured from top to bottom. Lillian, her clothes covered in dirt, spoke with frustration.


    “I couldn’t find it.”


    Dani’s eyes were like ice, filled with a cold fury. She stood motionless in thendfill for what felt like an eternity, not a word escaping her lips.


    Every story starts at gα?ησν????s


    As the first light of dawn began to break, she let out a heavy sigh, exhaustion weighing her down.


    “Let’s go.”


    When she returned, she took a long, much-needed shower before copsing into bed for a deep sleep.


    Later, when Alexander came looking for her, he found Dani standing on the balcony, her attention focused on sketching the sunset.


    Today, she wasn’t dressed in her usual formal attire, but instead, wore simple,fortable home clothes.


    The spacious balcony had a slight chill to the air, and Alexander stood silently behind her.


    He wasn’t one for art, never quite able to grasp its depths, but he sure knew how to appreciate a woman.


    Dani was dressed in a pristine white floral top that shimmered softly in the fading sunlight. Her long hair, softly curled, rested elegantly over her shoulders, swaying gently with each movement she made.


    He muttered something quietly. Dani, however, remained silent, absorbed in her work.


    The warm glow of the sunset bathed her face in a golden light, casting an almost ethereal glow on her features.


    Alexander found himself momentarily mesmerized by the scene before him.


    It wasn’t until Dani set her brush down that he slowly snapped back to reality.


    “That’s a beautiful painting,” Alexander remarked, his voice filled with genuine admiration.


    Dani dropped the brush into the tray and walked to the bathroom to wash her hands. Afterward, she poured herself a ss of water, letting the quiet moments stretch on.


    She took a sip and finally turned her gaze to him.
