23.

Lexi’s POV

“Oh No, no, no.” I cried as my alarm woke me up from my deep slumber, I still had a lot of work to do and I dared to sleep off?

Staring at the files in fear, I started working on it as rapidly as I could and I knew that my fast wouldn’t be fast enough because Ivan would soon be in the office.

Continuing my job anyways, I tried really hard to double check the ones I’d done last night because I was seriously sleepy and I needed to make sure that there was no mistake before handing them all to Ivan.

I was still trying to double check and go through the pile of papers in front of me when my pen fell off my hand.

What is wrong with me?

Weak and tired, I bent to pick up my pen and that was when I noticed the jacket on the floor, I recognized it because it was the same one Ivan wore yesterday.

But why is it under my desk and what was it doing there?

Picking it up, I found myself bringing it up to my nose and Ivan’s fresh scent hit me harder than it ever had even when he was around
