“Oh, I see. That makes sense.” Freya nodded as she shut down her computer, suddenly remembering it was time for her lunch break. “Do you need anything else?”
Louis studied her curiously. “Since when did you start taking lunch breaks?”
Freya stiffened. Crap. The original character had always kept erratic hours, but ever since she arrived in this world, she had been maintaining a strict routine. The difference was definitely noticeable.
“Well… you see, I just realized my previous schedule was terrible. My health wasn’t great, so I forced myself to make a change. At first, I couldn’t sleep, but yesterday was better. You should try it too–taking a nap at noon helps you feel more refreshed in the afternoon. It makes you more productive.”
Louis neither agreed nor disagreed. “Then go rest.” With that, he stood up and returned to his room, leaving Freya standing there, feeling a bit anxious. Did I say something wrong?
The original character had an irregular schedule, often staying up all night. But that didn’t mean what she just said was Jincorrect. She was simply adjusting her habits–nothing wrong with that. After all, when people go through major changes, it
was natural for them to develop new routines.
Inside his room, Louis sat down at his desk, his expression unreadable. He tapped his fingers lightly against the wooden surface, lost in thought. After a while, he still seemed undecided, but he picked up his phone and made a call.
“Buy a dishwasher and have it sent to my place in the next few days.”
There were still things he needed to observe, but for now, he would go along with the current situation.
After ending the call, Louis set his phone down. His gaze landed on the bed beside him, and Freya’s words from earlier echoed in his mind. Is napping really that beneficial?
Before he realized it, he had already laid down on the bed. As his body relaxed, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Huh, this actually feels nice. When was the last time I have taken a proper nap? Three or four years ago?
He had been so caught up with work and responsibilities that it had been ages since he’d allowed himself to sleep peacefully. Unknowingly, time passed, and by the time he woke up, it was already 2.30 in the afternoon.
Freya stepped out of her room, stretching with a satisfied sigh. She went to the bathroom to splash some water on her face. Just as she walked out, she saw Louis emerging from his room as well. His eyes still carried traces of drowsiness, and with his strikingly handsome features, he looked effortlessly captivating.
Freya’s head snapped down in an instant. Oh my god, how can someone look this good just after waking up? This is unfair! And to think he’s supposed to be the villain! The author must have put so much effort into crafting this character, only to give him such a tragic ending.
What a waste.
Lost in thought, she didn’t realize the expression on her face had softened. But Louis caught it–her gaze held a hint of… pity? The moment their eyes met, he felt as though he had been scalded. He quickly averted his gaze. “Do you need the bathroom?”
“Huh? No, no! I already used it. Go ahead,” Freya hurriedly stepped aside. Once Louis went in, she shrugged and sat back down at her desk, ready to get back to work.
As soon as she opened WhatsApp, she noticed a new friend request. Checking the note, she realized it was from an editor at a literary website.
“Yes!” Freya clenched her fists in excitement. This can only mean one thing, I passed the initial review! But wait, editors usually wouldn’t personally add authors on WhatsApp just for that…
