They left the elevator together and separated at the corridor.

"Go home and have a good rest. I can't stay with you tonight, alas, I have a video conference I can't miss." After saying that, Theodore held Ariana's hand and kissed it.

“It's very late. Can't you hold the video conference tomorrow instead?" Ariana asked unhappily. She felt he was actually a workaholic. He had spent the whole day with her, how come he still had the energy to deal with work?

With a faint smile, Theodore wrapped his arms around Ariana's waist and looked up at her affectionately.

"I have no choice. This video conference is very important and I can't postpone it. I'll be with you tomorrow night."

“Wait a minute. Did you cancel your work today to spend time with me?" Ariana asked suddenly, looking at him seriously.

Theodore nodded.

"That's right. But the thing is, that work..."

He sensed that she wasn't happy with him, so he wanted to explain himself. But when he opened his mouth to speak, she pressed her index finger against his lips.

He looked at her face and saw a guilty expression on her face.

"Sorry, I didn't know you had so much to do today. Next time, I'd like you to tell me. We can have a date anytime,” Ariana said softly.

"I know, but there's always work to do. I don't want to let you down." Theodore sighed helplessly.

He never believed that one day he would strive to complete two days' work in one day just to spend time with a woman.

It wasn't that anyone was forcing him to do so. He just wanted to.

“By the way, I'm very happy today. Don't think too much, okay?" As Theodore spoke, he held Ariana's hand and kissed it again.

Ariana nodded and kissed him on the forehead.

"Good night. Don't work too late. Text me when you go to bed.”

"Okay."

The two of them went to their respective apartments. Ariana first took a bath before returning to her bedroom. Lying on the bed, she looked out of the window at the moon in the night sky.

She couldn't fall asleep. She remembered that earlier in the car, Theodore told her with a serious air that he would arrange things for her next Wednesday. He told her he would give her an unforgettable birthday and there was something important he intended to tell her.
