It was the smile of an emotionally tired person. “It was too late, Analia. I think you need to go home and rest,” he
I glanced at the door. “Doctor,” James said and shook hands with the doctor. Jessica let go of my arms when she heard about the doctor. She rushed to the doctor and held his arms. “Doctor, what happened? How is he? Is he okay now?” she asked nonstop. James gently pulled her away from the doctor
“You really have the audacity?” Veronica sarcastically said. I slowly let go of Arzhel and wiped my tears as I turned around to face her. “Not now, Veronica,” I said, almost out of energy. She sarcastically laughed. “And when would be the right time to scold you?” she asked, irritated and lookin

I looked at them. They all nodded in agreement. We continued for the rest of the meeting and finalized our numbers. When it was done, I went to my office. “Janna, tell Mr. Arzhel I want us to do an emergency meeting.” She nodded and left. For a moment, my heart beat fast, this would be the firs
Two days since the renovation started, and since that almost intimate moment with Arzhel. “I’ll never understand why you had to cheat.” What he said kept appearing in my mind every once in a while.
