They were carrying a large box in the living room. "What are you guys doing?" I asked, climbing down the stairs.Their heads snapped up in my direction. "I told you that you were going to wake her up," Mike growled at John."Oh, please! You’re the one who dropped the box," John retorted back.I reached the bottom of the stairs and approached them."Shut up! It's because

My eyes grew wide when I saw the kissing photo under the headlines. "Rose... I need to go." I stood up, leaving my plate on the table."Are you going to be okay?" she asked quietly.I nodded, then realized she couldn't see me. "Yeah...I just need to do something.""Okay, I'll see you at home. Text me if you need me," she said before she cut the call.I rushed towards the conference room to meet Mike. Without hesitating, I pushed the door open and rushed inside.

I reached Kelvin's office at seven P.M. The receptionist had informed me that his schedule was free over the phone. So I just knocked on Kelvin's door before I opened it. Kelvin's chin tipped up when I stepped inside. His gaze met mine and there was a surprised twinkle along with a knowingness. "Are you sure you came to the right place?" he asked, suppressing a grin.  I walked to him and sat in my chair.
