NICHOLAS's POV I smoothed out the creases on my suit and walked towards the conference room. I could already see from the transparent glass wall who it was and I wasn't surprised a bit. “Mum?” I said as I walked in through the door. She looked at me long and hard. I could tell by the look on her face that she wasn't in a good mood. “Nicholas” she spoke. Yup, she was serious. “You ignored my calls this morning” I nodded frantically, “Yes mother, I did. I promise I didn't want to ignore you, you called in the early hours of the morning and I wasn't fully awake yet” She folded her arms, “Why aren't you going to show up, like I asked you to?” “Mum, we already talked about this. I'm quite busy, my hands are full” “Is this how you want to keep behaving? You want to get wrapped up in work that you won't have time to get married?” My mother was a lot of things, and dramatic was the biggest of them all. She had set a date with one of her friends’ daughters and insisted I ge

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. It was time for me to get back to work. I got up and dressed up, putting my hair into a ponytail. The weather was a bit cold so I decided to throw on a coat.

I was able to get some work done and just

It was raining when I stepped into the office lobby, my umbrella dripping onto the marble floor. I shook out my coat and tucked my bag under my arm, nodding to the receptionist as I made my way to the elevator. “Melissa.” I stood straight. I didn’t have to turn around to know it was Steve. I did anyway. He stood there in his dark grey suit, almost matching the look in his eyes. “I was hoping we could talk” he said, standing there with a false sense of warmth. “I have nothing to say to you,” I replied, stepping into the elevator. He followed me in before the doors could close and I wasn't surprised. The air between us was thick with unsaid words, and I kept my eyes on the floor numbers lighting up one by one. “You know, this little show of independence?” he said. “It’s cute.
