Harley's POV

I can't believe I cried in front of Antonio and I got him annoyed for the second time in a day.

I wipe my tears hurriedly, vowing never to cry for Jim ever again, no matter what happened. The worst had already happened, what more can come after the worst?

I sit upright with a raised chin, encouraging myself from within that I can do this. I am not supposed to give his issue any more thoughts but I could barely sleep a wink last night because of Alexis and because of Jim's thoughts which filled my entire head.

I instruct Amelia."Alright, sir", she responds calmly."Help me with the emails too and have the contract sent to my house so I can sign them", I say again, trying to remember if there is more I want to tell her to do for me."Should I bring them myself?" She demands sharply."No, you need to be in the office to be in charge, remember?""Yes", she says with a sullen voice."You can give them to the clerk to bring.""Is there anything else you need?" She asks me."Have you canceled all my appointments for today?" I question, still trying to think of what else to tell her to do."Yes. Madam Monalisa said she is already in New York but agreed to come tomorrow instead. I was able to convince her that it is for the goodness of the company.""Thank you for that." I appreciate. "Yes, boss.""That will be all for now

When she turns back, she sees me and bow with a smile on her face."Good morning", she greets politely in respect."Good morning, Amelia", I say merrily and walk past her to the door.

I am always as strong as ever even if I don't sleep at night."Take care my child", Grandma says to me softly, releasing me from the embrace.I couldn't stop thinking about how she was faring even after Chelsea came yesterday to tell me she was fine.
