Chapter 161

• Carter woke up to the soft morning light filtering through the curtains of his bedroom. He stretched and yawned, preparing himself mentally for the day ahead. As he got dressed in his tailored suit, he couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for the success he had achieved in his career.
• Exiting his bedroom and making his way to the sitting room, Carter nearly collided with Lyssa, the new house guest who had only recently arrived. She stood there with a warm smile on her face, her eyes bright and welcoming. "Good morning, Carter. You look dashing today," she greeted him, her voice melodious and inviting.
• Surprised by her compliment and touched by her kind words, Carter responded with a genuine smile. "Thank you, Mercy." You look lovely yourself. What brings you up so early this morning?" he inquired, curiosity evident in his tone.
