    She asked, “Didn’t he give you his cardst time? He told you to call anytime you needed something. So go ahead and call him!”


    Dawn stared at the profile on the online encyclopedia and finally remembered who he was.


    “We don’t have the bud—”


    “What budget?” <fn671a> Read full story at find{n}ovel</fn671a>


    Janice rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed. She opened a social app, pulled up Andy’s info, and said, “It’s fine to ask a friend for help. He travels everywhere, so he’s bound to know where you can find that color.”


    Before Dawn could react, Janice had already dialed.


    “Hey–wait!”


    Toote. The call had already gone through.


    Janice handed over the phone with a shrug.


    Dawn had no choice but to take it and said politely, “Hello, this is Dawn Porter.”


    There was silence for a moment, like he was trying to ce her name. Dawn waited a second, then gave him a hint.


    “We met at that partyst month. You said I reminded you of someone you used to know. Do you remember?”


    As soon as she said that, Andy replied right away, “Oh, it’s you!”


    “Yes.”


    Dawn and Janice exchanged gazes. She asked gently, “I wanted to check something with you. Would you mind if I took a few minutes of your time?”


    Andy chuckled, sounding surprisingly warm and easygoing. “Of course not. I meant it when I said could ask me for anything.”

    It was obvious his old friend was someone very important to him.


    Dawn felt a bit guilty leaning on that connection.

    But since the call had already started, backing out now would only make things awkward.


    She quickly exined the situation and added, “If you have any


    clue-”


    “I do,” Andy said without hesitation, his gentle voice making her feel less tense. “Add me on WhatsApp and tell me the details. I’ll send you something.”


    When she hung up, Dawn still looked stunned.


    Janice patted Dawn’s shoulder, snatched up her phone, and said, “He already said yes! Hurry up and add him!”


    Dawn finally came back to her senses and added Andy on WhatsApp.


    Not long after she exined what she needed, a photo popped up.


    “Check this out. Is this the color you’re looking for?”


    It was a pure pale pink.


    The little stones in the photo looked like crystals, clear white with a touch of pink–wless and pure.


    Dawn’s eyes lit up. “That’s it!”


    That shade was so rare that even AI couldn’t copy it.


    Andy had found a small piece while hiking once, but he’d been in a hurry and hadn’t gone after the source.


    He sent over the location.


    “But it’s an undeveloped mountain. Bring a few people and try not to stay overnight. If anything happens, call me.”


    Dawn and Janice were thrilled. Since it wasn’t far, they decided to go there right away.


    Most of theirpany’s designers were women, and the guys all worked in IT.


    They called two of the guys toe along.


    Once they were on the road, Dawn messaged Ethan on WhatsApp, telling him where they were going, the reason for the trip, and that she’d be back for his dinner with friends.


    Janice nced over, a little jealous. “Seriously, what did Mr. Jackson do in his past life to

    Dawnughed, putting her phone away. “That doesn’t sound like apliment.


    “Why not?”


    “I just keep him updated so he won’t worry. And in case something truly goes wrong.

    She thought of her old self, thought of Austin, and shook her head. “Being too thoughtful isn’t always a good thing.”


    Janice thought for a second, then nodded.


    “Okay, let me put it another way—you two are crazy in love and can’t be apart. Better<b>?</b>”


    Dawn smiled. “That works.”


    <i>The </i>SUV pulled up at the mountain entrance. The road narrowed to onene, with no lights anywhere.


    Dawn and Janice got out to check, and both jumped when a figure appeared ahead.


    Janice froze, too shocked to greet him. “Mr. Kelsinger? What are you doing here?”


    Andy smiled warmly, lifting his hiking pole. “You called me while I was hiking nearby. Since I had free time, I thought I’d tag along.”


    He had on a big hiking backpack, a windbreaker, and sturdy boots.


    He <i>looked </i>like a total pro–someone who practically lived outdoors.


    Dawn shared a nce with Janice, then said, “That’s very kind of you, Mr. Kelsinger. We’re not very experienced, <i>so </i>having <i>you </i>lead the way will help a lot.”
