Leaving her office, Grace drove straight to Warehouse 7 that was located on the outskirts of the city. It was over an hour ride that she spent listening to music and just enjoying the beautiful scenery.
All of a sudden, she found herself admiring everything around her - whether it were the vehicles passing by, the tall skyscrapers, the restaurants or cafes, or the tall, luscious green trees and beautiful parks.
As she watched people going around with their daily lives, enjoying the crisp late morning as any other usual day, she wondered exactly who was more lucky - those people who were able to enjoy their present without the fear of the future, or her who was about to sacrifice her present to buy a chance of surviving the future.
An hour later, she parked the car in front of the warehouse and climbed out, heading inside the building to complete the task for which she had made this trip.
The n who were employed at the warehouse, to keep the goods safe, were clearly not expecting her sudden visit. Most of them didn't even recognize her since they had never been so lucky to et the head of Blackwood House.
But even though they didn't recognize her, no one moved to imdiately stop her. It was because her aura scread that she owned the damn place and it made them hesitate. Thus, they waited for Sylas, the incharge of warehouse 7, to confront the woman.
"Boss!"
Sylas quickly ca to find the person who had arrived at the warehouse when his subordinates inford him about it, but nothing prepared him to see the head of the Blackwood House.
The mont his voice reached the ears of his subordinates, everyone bowed their heads to formally greet Grace.
"Take your n and leave this place. I'm going to handle the goods." Grace inford Sylas while she took a look around the place. When her attention returned to Sylas, she found him still standing there with a surprised look on his face.
"L-leave? How can you manage so many goods on your own? Let ..."
The rest of the words never made their way out of his mouth as he was left completely stunned and terrified when Grace's warm erald gaze suddenly turned icy. He dared to question her order, and she definitely didn't like it.
Not wanting to lose his head, he quickly decided to scram from the place. "I w-will leave imdiately."
Grace watched as the man signaled his underlings and almost ran out of the gates as if he was being chased by the devil herself. A soft sigh escaped her lips before she turned her attention toward the building standing in front of her and stepped inside.
"2025, can you take care of the CCTV?" She asked the system upon entering the warehouse.
"It's done." 2025 answered rely five seconds later.
Finally having the privacy she needed, Grace imdiately started the work of shifting the goods inside the space. Once she had safely shifted all the weapon crates inside the basent of the villa in the Infinite Realm, she entered the space to place everything accordingly in the basent.
The best part she found through 2025 was that she didn't need to move things physically inside the space, as long as she would give a ntal command, those things would move around on their own.
Hence, it barely took her ten minutes of the space's ti to organize all the weapon crates in order. The mont she was done, she heard an electronic voice speaking.
TASK COMPLETED!
REWARD: 10,000 Points
CONGRATULATIONS ON LEVELING UP!
Current Level: 4
Total Points: 10,000
There was a small satisfactory smile playing on her lips when she finally stepped out of the space and returned to the real world. It felt really nice to earn those points and level up.
She climbed into the car and drove back to the bustling city. By the ti she arrived at the downtown area, it was already past noon. She decided to have a quick lunch at a restaurant.
Recalling how scarce food was in the apocalypse, she decided to have a proper al while she still could. She ordered - Creamy Tomato Basil Soup, Salad, Herb-Crusted Grilled Salmon, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Sautéed Asparagus, Chocolate Mousse, and Freshly Squeezed Lemonade.
While eating, she made sure to enjoy each dish and its rich flavor. After not eating such fresh, delicious, and variety-filled dishes in ages, she felt so grateful for getting a second chance at life.
She just finished the starters when she thought of sothing and picked up her phone. Scrolling through her contacts for a few seconds, she finally dialed a number.
All it took were two rings before the receiver picked up the call.
[Hello, Boss.]
"I want you to arrange an appointnt with Dr. Kian this afternoon. And before you ask, nothing is wrong with . I just want to et him." Grace told the person on the other side of the call.
There was silence for the next few monts as that person possibly looked through Dr. Kian's schedule.
[He has a slot empty at 3:15 this afternoon. Will that be alright?]
"It's alright with . Arrange it imdiately and I'll be there on ti." Grace inford the person and was about to end the call when she heard -
[Just wanted to tell you that Dr. Kian isn't working in the neurosurgeon departnt today. He's on duty in the-]
"It doesn't matter." Grace inford the person on the other end of the call. "Arrange the appointnt." And then she ended the call. She didn't care in which departnt Dr. Kian was working that afternoon, she just wanted to et him briefly.
Little did she know just how much she was about to regert her decision...!
