Masuk“Just finishing some tasks so I could hand them all to you,” she said. I looked at her laptop again. I was about to tease her, but then I saw her nervously glancing at her laptop too while smiling widely, trying to act innocent even though she herself knew I caught her. In the end, I just slightly
I looked at Adrian. I wanted him to meet Arzhel and get to know more about him as a man, but then, I needed to talk to Arzhel first, knowing that he didn’t like how Adrian reacted back in New York. “I want you to know him,” I started. “He’s a changed man now, Adrian,” I said. “But I need time.” H
I swallowed and released a deep breath. I also closed my eyes for a moment. “Okay, face him,” I told myself. As soon as I opened my eyes, I started to hear footsteps coming my way, and when I was about to fully push the door open, someone from the inside pulled it. I waited for the door to be ful
