Max POV
It's been three days since I resigned. I decided to cut off all my connections to my boss and chose on focusing on my daughter and having a shop of my own. When I was a kid, I am dreaming to have a flower shop but I ended up being a fashion designer. I studied well when I was in college but when Greg started to show motives on me, I was turned into a foolish blind Max when it comes to curiosity. I became a mother in my teenage days and turned widowed in my twenties.
I give birth to my lovely daughter Tally. I raised her well even I had to do four jobs in a day. It's hard when you're a single mom. Sometimes, you have to check your phone from time to time just not to miss your first job, and sometimes you won't sleep a wink because you have to wake up early just to work. If you're only two minutes late, you will be jobless in the next 24 hours.

In her, I saw myself spending fifty years of my life drinking a cup of coffee with her. Now that I am ready to find my true happiness, she will break it?

"Oh, sure. I can't sleep either." He told him and Asher cut off the line after. He took a deep breath and continue driving after the traffic jam. He reached Russ's apartment and he quickly let me in after I called him that I just arrived. His place

I didn't realize that I fell asleep without even taking off my pants and t-shirts. *** I heard my phone beeps so even my eyes were only half awake, I manage to check my phone and check who texted me.
