I did not turn around, nor did I cease running. I am aware that I am in no way comparable to him if he were behind me.Yet I didn't want him to get up to speed. I noticed that he wasn't chasing after me when I had the audacity to turn around. I reduced my speed and briskly strolled out of the hotel. stroked my chest in an attempt to relax. Everything is good. I erred by getting into a one-night stand while intoxicated. It's your uncle Everhart's sixtyth birthday tonight.He's got a banquet at the hotel Cromwell's. I take it you'll be there?" Mom, no.I'd prefer not to go. I really wasn't in the mood to put up with my father and stepmother tonight, and I knew that if I went to that banquet, I would run into them. "Seraphina, come on. Everhart, your uncle, and his spouse have shown us great kindness. You should at least accept his invitation.My mum convinced me. I sighed. My father cheated on my mother and essentially left her when I was ten years old.My life would have been intolerable if uncle Everhart hadn't been there. "Okay, I'll go." Try not to argue with your father, too. She alerted. "I won't if he doesn't give me any trouble." And hung up after that. My mother begged my father not to file for divorce years ago when she was kneeling on the ground. She promised to pardon his liaison. his unfaithful assistant, but he ignored her. He not only took everything from Ker, but he also divorced my mother. Life for the three of us was considerably different after that. I find it impossible to forgive my dad for inflicting such severe emotional harm on us. I arrived at the office in plenty of time and took a seat at my desk. Arabella Sinclair, a coworker, approached me. "Tess, you look different today." I darkened.Not the same? How? " "You've been pouting since Winslow ended things, but you don't seem depressed at all today." I get along quite well with Arabella. I exhaled. "It might be because I had a wild night.You won't believe that in order to soothe my hurting heart, I paid a prostitute $200."With a laugh, I said. You omit to say. She laughed. I swear, she thinks I'm kidding. We joke around all the time, so this is not surprising. A few folks have mistakenly believed that we have extensive expertise working with guys, but in reality, we're really conservative. My anger from last night still rages because of this. I totally didn't relate to that. "The hew boss is kesuming today." She declared. I offered a "I've heard who the Hudson Group's heir is. At the company's headquarters, his mother holds the position of president, while his father holds a senior position in the government.In the present.I'm sure he's really attractive, but the majority of the women in the firm are dying to meet him. I gave an eye roll. All I can hope is that he isn't one of those haughty and conceited heirs. I can't stand having an asshole for a boss. My manager, Orion Hawthorne, approached. "We're meeting in the conference room right now!"He made his announcement and turned to go. I swiftly grabbed my pen and notebook and headed into the conference room, only to discover that everyone was seated. Quietly, I took a corner seat. He was really attractive, but my thoughts drifted to the wee hours of the morning. I remembered the look of rage on his face as I put the two hundred dollars on the bed. I covered my mouth with my palm and laughed. "Perhaps I had overreached." The look of disgust he gave me, though, was simply too much for me to handle, and on top of that, he was planning to send me away as a prostitute. That would be extremely degrading to Anaka. I was shocked out of my thoughts by a burst of applause. A man wearing a navy blue suit entered the conference room. When his visage registered in my Why...why is he here? mind, my jaw dropped. There's clearly something wrong with my eyes—certainly something. I used my thumbs to wipe my eyes.Even after I reopened and closed them, he was still there. Then there was the man I had a brief affair with! Then, the man I paid two hundred dollars! God, oh God! This time, where will I flee to? I'm still experiencing extreme panic. For what reason? How come I'm so unlucky? I'm still in shock that he's my new boss. I considered the words I had spoken to him. Yes. How come I said that? I ought to have spoken more politely. I said something, would he fire me for it? I can't lose my job! I need to calm down and ponder before I can take care of my mother and sister. I inhaled deeply, soothing myself. I took a quick look at the man seated at the front.Evadne Rosalind, he said in his introduction. I bowed my head and covered part of my face with my long hair when he didn't look at me. All I could hope for at the moment was that he wouldn't see me. It was agonising every minute of every second because I was so relieved when the meeting eventually ended. I thought to myself as I slipped out of the conference hail that he still hadn't noticed me at all. Telling Arabella what had happened was the first thing I did when I got back to my desk. "I take it you're kidding?" "Do I look like am?" I questioned in a tense manner. Her shocked eyes became wider. "So, girl, you ought to be content. You had s*x with a really hot and smokey dude." "Never give that to me.That he possibly worries me a great deal. attempt to avenge me and even fire me.I still have my sister and mother to look after.I cannot afford to be unemployed at this time. Lord, please. I ought not to have gone to the drink at the bar. I long to go back in time.
