Almyra's POVI laid on the bed still, I was yet to get a sleep since I came back from Paris and all I was doing at the moment was staring blankly into space. The softness of the bed enveloped me, a comforting contrast to the turmoil brewing inside. I felt like I was floating, disconnected from the world around me.

Almyra's POV I stormed into the office in rage as I saw a very displeasant sight. My secretary Ms Thompson with an unknown man in the middle of romance. Ms Thompson sat down on my table while he held her and kissed her passionately. They were so engrossed in love that they did not even notice my presence. "What the fuck is this?" I yelled at the top of my lungs as I dropped the bag on the floor in annoyance. Quickly, they both separated from one another swiftly. My secretary looked at me in great shock as she covered her mouth in surprise. "I…I'm sorry." She stammered with a look of disappointment. The man suddenly buttoned up his shirt and picked his briefcase as he tried to storm out of the office. His face had no sign of remorse in a way or two.

The judgment I once thought of giving to her was not suitable enough. I had to increase it. The

I guess I was long gone from sleep since I slept late last night.I walked towards the curtain and opened a part of it, the rays of the sunlight brightening up a part of the room and illuminating the dust particles that danced in the air, like tiny ballerinas performing a choreographed routine.
