Luke glared at his laptop screen, unable to focus on the dry content of yet another financial report. Why he’d brought his work to a relaxing weekend in Roseford, he didn’t know. Maybe he’d known his troubles would follow him, because frankly, that’s all they’d done for the last two months straight, follow and taunt him.
Maybe, just as Agathe had, he hoped work would chase away his darker thoughts. Then again, unlike Agathe, he maintained zero focus and muddled through his hours with little productivity.
He groaned and buried his head in his hands.
The public showdown with Agathe had changed how everyone at Tiluma saw him. Though Max’s exit and Daniel’s promotion meant things were looking up, there was no mistaking that Luke currently struggled with some major professional issues.
