The meeting was almost concluding when Cassian's phone started ringing. He excused himself from the group, noticing Emeraude's name flashing on the screen, and left the room."Hello," he answered."Hi," Emeraude replied, pausing briefly. "Sorry to bother you, but I've been trying to call my mom, and she's not answering. Plus, I don't have my house key.""Are you at your mom's house?" Cassian asked, heading towards the elevator."Yes, the girls are sleeping in the taxi," she explained, taking a deep breath."I'll be there soon," Cassian promised, and Emeraude thanked him before ending the call.Cassian felt he should express gratitude; Joshua was a real disaster. It hadn't even been two weeks since he arrived, and he already wanted to leave. The man had no business sense, constantly making mistakes. Cassian was surprised the company still existed. Meetings were better when Joshua's father was in charge; he knew how to articulate himself.The traffic was smooth, and Cassian parked in fr

The sun was setting as Cassian, guided by Liam, hurried to get ready to go to Emeraude's mother's house. He put on a gray shirt and black pants, trying to adopt a casual appearance. Upon entering the living room, Liam couldn't help but tease Cassian about his clothing choice, joking about Emeraude's possible reaction."Shall we?" Cassian asked, heading towards the door."Of course, princess," Liam replied, smiling. They both walked towards the car, while Liam made playful comments about Cassian's outfit.During the journey, Liam teased Cassian about his relationship with Emeraude, insinuating that it might be more serious than Cassian admitted. Cassian evaded the topic, stating that they were taking things slowly.When they arrived at Emeraude's house, Cassian rang the doorbell. Emeraude answered the door wearing a skirt and a cropped top, momentarily distracting Cassian. While Emeraude called the girls, Cassian noticed Liam's expression in the car, laughing at the situation. Cassian

Emeraude arrived home, exhausted and disheartened. She immediately headed to the bedroom, clearly showing the weight of emotions she carried. In the bathroom, she undressed, surrendering to the comforting warmth of the water. Her thoughts drifted in the flow of the moment, reflecting on the difficulties, especially those arising from her relationship with Cassian, a constant challenge.Upon leaving the bathroom, she came across Cassian, leaning on the bed, engrossed in his phone, wearing jeans and a white shirt. Seeking some distraction, Emeraude inquired about the daughters while selecting lingerie. Cassian confirmed they were with their grandmother in the kitchen.Opting for a pair of shorts and a white long-sleeved blouse, Emeraude returned to the bathroom to dress, seeking a way to clear her mind. She left her hair loose to dry quickly and returned to the bedroom, initiating a conversation that lingered in the air."I'm sure you didn't come for dinner," she spoke, after a prolonge

Emeraude left the building and got into the car, heading straight to her mother's house. She wanted to make the most of the afternoon with her girls. It didn't take long to arrive; as soon as she entered the house, the two came running to hug her, already dressed and ready."You both look beautiful," said Emeraude, smiling foolishly. Amora was wearing jeans and a blue blouse, her hair tied in a ponytail. Aurora wore a delicate light pink dress with a braid in her hair. They were so different and yet so alike."Let's go, Mommy," said Aurora excitedly, making Emeraude laugh lightly."I got them ready, dear. Shall we have lunch at a restaurant?" Emeraude's mother spoke, appearing in the living room."Sure," replied Emeraude, smiling. The girls started chatting, and they headed to the car. Emeraude told her mother about the photo shoot and all her excitement for the campaign launch as they talked about various things.***Walking in the mall with the girls was easy because they obeyed her

Emeraude walked through the corridors of the small cottage, searching for Cassian. Upon reaching the balcony, she found him sitting in an armchair, gazing at the sea in front of him."Good morning," she greeted, catching his attention."Good morning," he replied, displaying a sideways smile. "Did you sleep well?""Yes," she replied, holding his hand. He pulled her to sit on his lap, and Emeraude settled in, resting her head on his shoulder while his hand gently caressed her leg. "And you?""Also," he sighed. "I need to tell you something.""What?" Emeraude raised her face, looking at his calm expression."I'm going back to NY on Monday. Things here are quiet, and I've already left the company without my supervision for too long," he explained, shrugging."It's your job," Emeraude stroked his face."You're spoiling me," he joked, making her laugh. "At this rate, I'll have to stay here.""You could take a week off," Emeraude suggested, but he laughed, shaking his head."Unfortunately, i
