EMILIA'S POVBy the time I pulled into Theodore's company's parking lot, I was completely over my meeting with Cassandra. Though it took more time than I cared to admit, at the end of the day, I realized she really doesn't have that firm grip on my emotions as she used to. At least that was what I forced myself to believe as I stepped out of the car, smoothening the little crease at the front of my skirt. I walked into the familiar building with just one task at the back of my mind that needed completion. Telling Theodore about my new offer. I was a bit nervous about that too because I wasn't sure how he was going to take it. I mean, no employer would want their staff to be working in another company right? But this wasn't a normal job; it would also provide him with an advantage in his own space. I walked slowly toward his office, my heels clicking against the marble floor. I was trying to buy myself as much time as I could afford. At the same time, I knew there was no better time

EMILIA'S POVThere was one thing I always trusted, structure. And right now, the structure in Theodore's company was the only thing keeping me leveled. I was involved in every part of the company's growth, so it was safe to say I had clear expectations when it came to anything regarding the company. Roles are defined with predictable outcomes, nothing is out of hand. But Julian's company was an entirely different thing. First of the energy around there was tensed whenever I was around. Everything was all over the place and I knew I needed a good number of months before I could get things in order. The unpredictability was really getting on my nerves. The only thing that helps is the fact that I was too busy to dwell on worry.Today was one of those busy days. My morning started at Theodore's company. I responded to emails, read through reports, and attended two meetings. Theodore had stopped by briefly during my work. He had leaned against my desk with that easy confidence of his

EMILIA'S POVI thought it was going to be about work. That was the first thing that came to mind when he sent Cassandra out and said he had something vital to discuss with me. The way his tone had dropped, it felt serious, so I sat down prepared. What I wasn't prepared for was him leaning back into his chair, staring intensely at me for a moment, and then saying. "I made a reservation for dinner tonight." I blinked at him, stunned. "A....dinner?" He nodded once, studying my reaction as it mattered more than anything else. "It's your birthday."And just like that, everything in my head went blank. My birthday? I forgot. But he recalled, "I assumed you didn't make any plan so I made one." He sounded so careful with his words, like he was scared of what my reaction would be. I have no idea what to say. Part of me wanted to ask "why." and another part was somehow appreciative of his thoughtfulness. I also want to refuse, to put him down immediately, just to protect whatever was l

JULIAN'S POV There is no word to describe the immense amount of guilt I felt. Getting up from that restaurant to follow after Cassandra while leaving Emilia to herself was an impulsive decision, one I made only because of a promise I once made. That still doesn't change the fact that I was an ass. A big fat one. And I am very sure Emilia will never give in when I offer her anything outside work again. It was supposed to be a nice dinner discussing memories and I messed it up just like I usually mess everything up. I pulled the duvet away from my body, got up from my bed, and walked toward the living room. I tried to force myself into sleeping after I returned from checking up on Emilia, she was gone of course. But my phone had been ringing nonstop somewhere around the fact, and coupled with my chaotic mind, it had really been interrupting my attempt to sleep. "What the fuck do you want?" I blurted frustratedly to my assistant after I answered the line. I have no idea why he would b

EMILIA'S POV"Is there anything between the two of you?" Theodore asked again. The sincerity in his tone made me realize I couldn't lie to him, I couldn't keep everything from him; he deserves to know the truth about some part of my life, if not all. He meant nothing but goodness toward me, if I couldn't tell him about my health, then he deserved to know some part of my past. "He was my husband, an ex-husband." I watched his face carefully; he was staring at me with an intense gaze. What I would give to know what was going through his mind at that moment. If only life were that easy. "You were married to him?" He whispered, more to himself, like everything was making sense to him. "It was a contract marriage." I began to explain. "I was fresh out of school with no experience in the business world whatsoever. No company is willing to take the risk of handing their finance to a fresh graduate with no experience even though I have all it takes. When I met him, he was just like them,
