The duo walked to his office in absolute silence with him leading the way and Eleanor behind him and they got in after he opened the door. Eleanor stopped in the middle of the room and watched him keenly as he walked to his desk in the room while biting her cheeks inwardly. "What was that all about?" His calm words echoed in the room, but she was no fool to hear the anger in them. "I'm sorry, I lost my self-control in there," she watched his reactions carefully, "and for creating a scene tonight. I couldn't condone her arrogance anymore." Adrian leaned in on his desk with his back, facing her as he folded his arms to his chest. His beautiful slender green eyes directly peered into hers, and his face remained indifferent. "That was so not professional of you. You know the rules, the interests of the customers come first." Eleanor frowned slightly at his words which brought discomfort to her ears. "I'm not gonna apologize for not kissing her ass, Adrian." "And I'm not gonna congra

Ethan spared Eleanor a glance, once, before turning back to his door which he opened and got in. As he walked inside the room, the entire place lit up without him having to touch anything. The mini penthouse suite was designed in the most exquisite way to suit his taste, and all the furniture was mostly in black, except for the twilight fog carpet which was placed at the center of the room, and the twilight fog tv console close to a wall. Ethan removed his suit, dropped it on the couch, and loosened his necktie before walking to the counter to his right. Letting out a soft sigh, he brought out an Isabella Islay whiskey from the cellar with a cup, and added some ice inside the cup, before pouring the drink. He gulped everything down in one go. With the bottle of the drink and the cup still in his hands, Ethan walked to the couch in the room and placed them on the table. Pouring more drink into his cup, he took another sip as he leaned back on the couch, resting his free hand on

"It's not nice to sneak up on a woman,Adrian. Has anyone ever told you that?" Eleanor frowned slightly, looking into his eyes."Did I startle you? I'm sorry for sneaking up on you.""That's okay." She headed toward the elevator, and Adrian followed her."I'm a little surprised you know, 'cause today's a Saturday and you seem to have an early appointment which is unlike you.""I have something to take care of now, I'll tell you about it later. I don't think we have time to talk right here." Her eyes darted back to Ethan's door, hoping not to run into him anymore.Adrian nodded.Eleanor pressed the button of the elevator, and as they both waited for the door to open, her eyes went back to Ethan's room door, before suddenly coming back to Adrian's face suspiciously, as if hit by realization.Noticing her stare, Adrian raised a brow, "what?""Why are you here so early?""Oh! I almost forgot. I wanted to inform you in person that Dad's in the country and he wants to have lunch with you th

Eleanor took deep silent breaths, watching every reaction of the man who stood in front of her. He had grown older from the way she remembered and had changed his hairstyle, but that didn't make him any less handsome. He still had his charms and still emitted that calm aura he always had. She didn't realize how much she missed him until now she's seeing him in person. She walked into the room and the man who opened the door for her bowed before leaving the room. As the door closed behind her, she walked toward the man opening his hands in front of her for a hug, and she embraced him."Dad," she called out still in his embrace as she kept wishing she wasn't dreaming.This was too good to be a dream and even if she was dreaming, she don't want to wake up. She couldn't remember the last time she had hugged him like this. She had left their house in London, England when she turned 18 because of her adopted mother's death - Mrs. Doris due to a re-occurrence of acute myeloid leukemia whic
