Jo’s POV
“Hey, I thought you’re going to stood me up” Carter said smiling when I got close to him. His eyes quickly roamed around my body checking out my outfit. A smirk appeared on his face when he saw the slit of my dress.
Carter looked handsome dressed in a white button down shirt and a pair of black slacks. His hair and stubble were perfectly trimmed and styled ready to impress me.“I am sorry, something came up at work” I replied making my puppy eyes asking for forgiveness. “I hope I didn’t make you wait to long” I added fluttering my eyelashes.
“No worries” Carter smiled softly showing his perfect pearly teeth before he bend down to kiss my cheek. “You’re here, now. Let’s go inside” Carter said softly before

I sighed for the nth time tonight looking towards the Operating Room. “I love him, God, don’t take him away from me”. I continued again pacing the corridor waiting for news. “Jo, any news?” I heard Damien asking me and all I could do was shook my head. I have no words, only tears and prayers.

Knowing this we went ahead and staged your accident. Right now, it’s all over the news that you were badly injured.” Jonathan said shortly. “Central intelligence managed to get the guy who messed up your car and right now he is being questioned by my friend, we hope soon we have some prove so we can decide how we are going to proceed next.”
