“That is an unfair conclusion to make…” Peter argued.
“You the least person I thought that would care about Emily,” Noah commented as they drove towards the third location that the manager of Vicky has given.
Emily came out of the bathroom clad in a bathrobe, toweling her wet hair. Emily’s muscles tensed, shocked to see Logan seated on the chair in the bedroom.
Emily stretches on the bed with a yawn. It has been so long since she has felt this rejuvenated. She opened her eyes and looked round the room. It was well into the morning.Except for the other side of the bed sheet being rumpled, showing someone had slept there. She was the only one on the bed. Emily's mind burned with the memories of last night. She smiled in content, as buried her nose on the pillow that still held the scent of his aftershave.She won’t let the event of yesterday mess with her schedule of getting her bakery up running. She groaned as she stood up“Might as well get ready for the day and stop mooning ov
“Is this all the document?” Logan asked James, his personal assistant.“Yes, sir,” James answered with a nod.“How could these discrepancies go unnoticed? I want you to investigate this. The movement of money and what it’s spent on is suspicious.” Logan said, a frown creasing his forehead.The door swiftly opened, banging on the wall with a force. Logan and James both looked towards the source of the disturbance. There Tyler stood, his face twisted in anger.Logan leane
Emily and Noah stepped out of June's hospital room and headed towards the elevator. But he held her back.“What is it?” Emily asked, as she arched her eyebrow.“Are you okay? For real this time. You seem off.” Noah asked.“It’s nothing. I just have a lot on my mind.” Emily said.“Is it a man problem? You know you can always unload it on me,” Noah said, as his mouth twitched in amusement. Emily couldn't help but laugh.
Logan followed behind Emily, shutting the door. His eyebrows drew together in a frown, as he asked, “what do you mean?”“You never called to check up on me. Why are you acting worried all of a sudden?” Emily said as she sat on the bed and tilted her head.“I left you in capable hands,” Logan said as he loosened the tie and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt,Taking the chair nearest to the bed.“Funny someone said that earlier today.” Emily said, her eyes trailing to his chest.“You mean
“We will expect the table and chairs by Monday next week, but the clean-up crew will be here tomorrow so we can set up the mixer at the back when they are done. Hopefully, we will be done with fixing up this place before the opening.” Her best friend Jennifer said as she strikes things off the to-do-list. Propping her hands on her hips, she rolled her head between her shoulders to ease the tension.“Hmm… good. Don’t forget to send me the invoice.” Emily replied.Jennifer nodded, satisfied with the progress they were making. She looked at Emily and smiled. “I can’t believe your dad relented about you joining the family business and even gave you a shop.”“I know, right!” Emily said with a wide grin as she paced back and forth. Emily couldn’t believe that she was actually doing this. Especially when her father expected her to join the family hotel business after finishing her degree in business management. But she had always harbored a dream of opening her own bakery with Jennifer. Thi
Emily woke up. Glancing around. Her gaze rested on a metal IV stand with saline bags, and a woman in white trying to connect it to her arm.“Where am I?” Emily frowned.“Oh good, you are awake.” the woman smiled at Emily.“. leave us," a dark masculine voice said .Emily turned towards the voice. He had a hard and handsome face. The nurse turned to leave, but Emily instinctively held the lady's hand.“Don’t worry, you are in good hands,” the lady encouraged her. as she pried her hands from Emily and stepped out.Emily’s face turned white. She tried sitting up and felt pain shooting up her stomach.“Relax, if I wanted to do something vile. I would have done it the night I saved you. But I guess you don’t remember.”“Are you the one that helped me?” Emily said in a shaky voice.He looked at her intently before he answered. “You are lucky I stopped the car. Because I actually thought it was a ploy to rob me. People hardly venture that road at night.”She nodded her head and looked away.
