Audrey's POV Gosh! I'm late again! I quickly walked into the company's building and headed to the receptionist table to sign my name on the attendance. The stress of my son's health, the weight of the hospital bills and the responsible I had to face at work toll really hard on me. I headed to my office after signing my name on the attendance and then I walked slowly, with my eyes scanning the tables of my other colleagues as I walked pass them. The sound of the clicking of keyboard just seem muted today and I feel like I was walking through a fog. I unlocked my office door and sat at my desk trying to shake off the feeling of unease that I felt all over me. I settled down after some minutes and was calm and then I began to go through my emails but then my mind kept wondering back to Aiden. I could see his small body hooked up to the machines and wires in the hospital bed. I could hear the beeping sound of the monitor and the soft whisper of the nurses voice. Tears filled a

Audrey's POV Beep Beep Beep!!My alarm rang, reminding me of the 2 pm meeting that I have with Kendall. I had been wishing the time for the meeting take longer so it won't come so soon but finally it is here and I felt a sense of unease.I tried to just calm myself down as I took a deep breath and exhaled. I don't want what so ever Kendall has to say to get to me so I have to calm myself down before leaving. The conference room was kinda far from my office as I will have to walk pass many office to get there and it is really frustrating. I mean, if it was a general meeting for all workers, I would have been so happy to go but this is just different.

I just couldn't help but wonder if they knew about my meeting with Kendall or if they were just curious to know where I was heading to, cause the way they looked me was so

Lucas POVAs I sat in my office, I couldn't just stared at the wall. I couldn't help but think about what I said to Audrey earlier. I regret being too hasty; I mean, what if my confession makes her scare away from me? I should have just kept my mouth shut and waited for the right time.I thought about the way I will approach Audrey again and apologize to her so that we can fix things with her, but the conversation I had with Isabella and Kendall kept playing in my mind. What would have happened if I didn't walk into the conference room at that time? Oh, poor Audrey, don't worry. I will make sure I always protect you in this office.Just as I was about to think about the way to protect Audrey, my phone buzzed with a notification. It was a text from Kendall, reminding me of a meeting I have with my potential investors. I sighed as I felt overwhelmed. I had so much to do on my plate; I have to deal with Isabella and Kendall, I have to protect Audrey, and still ensure the smooth running o

Lucas POV The city sky glemered like silver against the morning sun as I stood at the floor to the ceiling window of my office with my eyes narrowing and scanning ever corner of my office and my mind racing with the goals of the day. But in all the goals I had planned out for the day, one thing stood out among the rest: Audrey.I turned away from the widow and staired at the sweeping across the sleek of the modern lines of my office. Rachel one of my staff stood at the door with her head bow and I could see curiosity hint all over her."Mr Lucas, the HR team is waiting for you in the conference room for the meeting". She said with her voice sounding with crisp.I nodded as I felt a sense of anticipation build up in my chest immediately. Today is the day that I am going to make Audrey mine."Good day guys let's get this meeting started immediately, there is no time". I said as I walked into the conference room.

I couldn’t just shake off the feeling that my life is about to take a drastic turn I mean this turn is going to lead me to a path of no return as i now have Audrey by my side. I can’t just hide it anymore, I have been thinking about Audrey since I told my HR team to offer her a promotion. Well, it is not my fault that I feel so attracted to her, like who will see such a brillant, and capable young lady and will not find her attractive.
