ELOWEN"Hi, Elowen!" Celeste was standing before me, waving with a wide smile on her face."Celeste!" I chuckled nervously, feeling stupid for jumping to conclusions about the shoes. I rubbed the back of my neck nervously."When did you get here?" I asked, propping my hands up by my waist."Last night, Your so called husband did not welcome me warmly by the way," she whined. “He didn’t now?” I chuckled again, still a bit too nervously, scanning the hall again. The kitchen felt safe, so I moved towards it, needing to put some distance between myself and the topic of Ryan.“So…” Celeste started, following me and throwing an arm casually around my shoulder as I reached the counter. She leaned in, her voice dropping, even though we were the only ones in the room. “How’s it been going? Living with Mr. Grumpy Pants, I mean.”I quickly grabbed a carton of orange juice from the fridge, shaking it vigorously before pouring myself a tall glass. I needed something cold to calm myself.“It’s

RYAN"Alfred!" I called out, stepping out to the terrace. "Sir," he appeared from the small green house behind the house."I want you to cancel all the plans for tonight's dinner," I said, my voice a bit lower than I expected.Alfred’s face fell a little. “Sir?” he asked, a hint of genuine sadness in his tone. "The desserts we ordered, the ones flown in from Paris, have already been paid for and the pastry chef has already started the final preparations.”I shrugged, feeling a familiar wave of defeat wash over me. “Cancel it or you could take it for yourself instead, Alfred, have a feast, I don’t care, just make sure the staff knows I won't need anything tonight.”I turned to go back inside, wanting nothing more than to retreat and forget this whole frustrating situation, when a sharp voice stopped me.“What do you mean he should cancel plans for tonight?”Celeste came up behind me, shutting the terrace door. She walked over quickly, her eyes narrowed with annoyance, and she stoppe

ELOWEN"That was a really nice movie," I stretched, dusting off the popcorn that had landed on me onto the floor."I didn't know you'd like those kind of movies," he replied, picking out a popped corn in my hair."Yeah, horror movies don't scare me much," I lied, fiddling with my hands, hoping he had not noticed how much popcorn I threw up in fear and how tightly I was gripping his arm."Yeahhh, right." He chuckled, throwing me a glance.“That’s so sarcastic, I could tell,” I countered, managing a genuine laugh this time and giving him a quick, playful punch on the shoulder.“Not only did you almost squeeze out all the blood in my arm, now you want to take it off as well,” he teased, moving ahead as we approached the entrance to the underground carpark.“I did not!” I protested, a little louder than I expected, and started chasing after him, trying to keep up with his long stride.“Did too, Gattina,” he called back over his shoulder, his voice full of warmth.I groaned in frustration

RYAN"Damn it!" I cussed, running a hand through my hair.How could she still be taking calls from Owen after everything??I groaned, punching the air with my fist in anger.Was that her choice, going back to Owen? Was that why she picked a fight with me and always pushed me away, trying to keep distance between us so she could make up her mind without my interference?Maybe I was trying too hard, maybe I was doing too much than my feelings actually required, throwing all this effort into something that was clearly a lost cause. I needed to cool down, to think straight, or maybe just stop thinking about her for five minutes."I need a drink," I muttered to myself. "Jesus!" I yelled, stopping abruptly in my tracks the moment I entered the kitchen. I hadn't expected to find anyone here.There was a figure seated silently on one of the high stools at the counter."Celeste?" I questioned, confused. She turned around slowly, lifting a glass of red wine toward her lips as she flashed me

ELOWEN"So these are the clienteles for the week." I nodded slight as she lowered the file to my desk."Is there anything else?" I asked, pulling off my office suit and draping it over my chair."No ma'am." She answered immediately, turning to leave."Oh and ma'am, a Happy Belated birthday to you," she extended a small box to me.I smiled, throwing her a short glance as I collected the gift from her. "You didn't have to, Sandra." I cooed, feeling overwhelmed."You're the best boss ever," she teased, grinning from cheek to cheeek. "You deserve it and more." A fresh wave of warmth washed over me and I smiling, lifting my gaze from the gift to her face."Thank you Sandra," I said, lowering the gift to the table. "That's from me and this is from the entire staff of this firm." She handed me a fancy envelope."Oh my God , you guys spoil me," I grinned, collecting it from her."Can I?" I held my hand over the openning latch, eager to rip it open and see what's in it."It's yours ma'am, ofco
