Alton's POV

Solana always keeps her distance.

Whenever I take a step closer, she always takes a step back, trying to escape from me. But I won't give up; I'll keep pursuing her until she finally gives in and acknowledges her true feelings.

I know she's trapped by the pain and fear caused by our past, so I will help her erase those burdens.

I want to help her heal because I'm tired of watching her suffer from a distance, healing on her own.

"How's it going, man?" Sebastian asked when I visited his bar.

He offered me a drink, and I accepted, downing it in one gulp.

"No progress, man," I confessed, referring to my situation with Solana.

Sebastian tapped my shoulder and took a seat beside me.

"Are you giving up?" he asked, teasingly.

I turned to him and shook my head, taking a sip of my drink before gazing at the crowd.

    Solana's POVI left his apartment and headed back to Kris's unit. I covered my face with a cap and face mask, hoping that reporters wouldn't notice me. But as soon as I got out of the cab, they started running towards me. Thankfully, the guards of the condominium came to my rescue and helped me escape from the reporters."Thank you," I said to the guards who assisted me, and then I made my way towards Kris's unit. When I stepped inside, I saw Kris busy on a phone call, looking stressed. As soon as she saw me, she dropped the call and walked towards me."Where have you been?" she asked, her eyes filled with worry."I talked to Alton," I replied.Kris nodded, her gaze fixed on my face."Are you okay?" she asked.I shook my head and sank onto the couch. Kris sat beside me, gently caressing my arm to calm me down."I called everyone I know who works at the TV station and told them to take down all news about Atlas. They said it will take a few days for the issue to die down," she said.

    Solana's POVI studied him intently, my forehead creased with concern."You don't have to pay me, Solana," he said dismissively, focusing his attention on some documents. But I couldn't let it go.The fact that he had spent such a large sum of money to block all news about me and Atlas made me feel guilty. It was a significant amount that I couldn't simply disregard.Taking a deep breath, I made up my mind and spoke."Fine, I will work for your company," I said. As he heard my words, he lifted his head and looked at me, clearly taken aback."You will work for me?" he asked, seeking confirmation.I sighed deeply and nodded.A smile began to grace his lips, but he quickly bit his lower lip, restraining himself from showing too much emotion.I took a seat in front of him, ready to discuss the details of the job he was offering."So, what will my job be?" I inquired.Alton leaned back in his swivel chair, folding his arms across his chest. He studied me intently as if contemplating what

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday to you," Solana began singing, and everyone in the restaurant joined in, making me feel bashful.I smiled at Solana as she sang "Happy Birthday" to me."Happy birthday, Alton," she said, and tears formed in the corners of my eyes as she greeted me."Thank you," I managed to say, suppressing the tears from falling.I turned to the other customers and silently mouthed, "Thank you," to those strangers who sang me happy birthday before redirecting my attention to Solana."You didn'
