KRISHe pushes open the door gently, and walks in.My eyes fall on his finger immediately. He's wearing his wedding ring.“Good morning,” he says,As soon as he notices where my attention is at, he places his hand into the pocket of his joggers.“Good morning,” I respond, facing the papers immediately.My heart is steadily drumming against my chest, and I don't even think I can bear seeing his face for one more minute.“How are you?” He asks,This time he isn't the proud, arrogant boss I've grown to know. He is soft, and careful, trying not to cross the line.“I'm fine. How was your wedding night?” He doesn't respond.I look up to find him watching me. “How was it?” I push further,“Let's not talk about that,” he says, taking a seat.He has returned to his original self.“Yes, you're right.” I agree, closing the file. “Let's talk about the pile of work we have left,”“No, not that.”“Okay. Then let's talk about why after I cleared your schedule for two weeks straight, you went ahead

KRISI pick out my hand bag, and by the time I get to the Sergei is already waiting for me with flowers in hand.“What are the flowers for?” I ask, stunned.“I'm sure your father wouldn't want you with a man that doesn't get you flowers for every date.” He says, giving them to me.There's no ounce of romance in what he has done, but it's still nice. I haven't received flowers as a random gesture in months, and while it is a change, but I don't let him know.“Thank you,” I thank him, “I love roses.”“Let's get going, shall we?” I nod.He opens the door, and leads me out of the apartment.As soon as we get into the car, I drop the bouquet on the car seat, creating a spacing between us. He respects it, and the drive is silent.We finally arrive at the restaurant just ten minutes after nine.Sergei, and I are about to step down when he receives a call.“Give me a minute,” he whispers,I remain seated, clacking my fingers on my bag. It is one thing for my father to meet Sergei, but it's

A suspicion.

KRISHe has no right to be angry. Truly, he doesn't. He's sitting across the table with his hands over my sister, and they're both wearing their wedding rings. He's taken. He's not mine, and I will never be his. I have no reason to feel bad for wanting my own person.“Good evening,” Sergei says to my father, and the sound of his voice pulls me from my thoughts.I can see the surprise on my father's face, but it's absolutely impossible to tell if he's surprised I have someone or if it's the Russian accent rolling off Sergei's tongue.Nevertheless, my father grabs his hand, and they hold a tight handshake.“Good evening. Who are you?” He asks,“Pardon my late entry, I am Sergei Rachmaninoff, and I have a current interest in your daughter.” He says with a smile,“Lori?” He asks with a raised brow.I close my eyes, absorbing the embarrassment.Sergei simply laughs it off, “Of course not. She's married to a wonderful man.” He takes my hand, then turns to me, “darling, you've never told y

KRISIt's quite embarrassing actually. The way, I'm prepping my best suit just because my brother-in-law will be at the board's meeting. It's nothing special, I know.I have been invited to a number of impromptu board meetings, and from experience, I can say, it's either someone is leaving, or someone is about to be added to fill an empty space on board, or both.I shrug my shoulders. It doesn't involve me. I pick out my navy blue suit jacket, and throw it over my shoulders.In compliance, I equally pick out my black set of Versace shoes.As soon as I'm done dressing up, I pick up my bag, and head to the Uber already waiting for me.It takes less than twenty minutes to maneuver through traffic, and end up at my office.As I walk in, I notice how quiet the environment is. You can easily tell when Callum's presence abodes, it breeds silence.I walk up to my office, drop my bag, and pick up my notebook.Right before walking out, I remain fixed in one position as I inhale a fresh breath
