There was something intriguing about him, something that drew me in despite the lack of conversation.As they settled into the living room, I found myself stealing glances at Aaron.

Chapter 40*Scarlett's POV*Alexander's recent business struggles are still going on and today he seemed tenser, I don't know what happened but he looked like he needed some break. He's been working tirelessly and my efforts to get him to rest had been in vain. But seeing him right now, looking terrible, I knew I had to do something."Babe.. you should get some rest," I said as I approached him. He barely took two seconds to glance at me before returning his gaze to his work."I want to but I can't," He said, drawing some paperwork to his front which I drew back, away from me and he looked at me with an annoyed look."Scarlett..""Stop, you look terrible..""I know.."
