At His Word: the Billionaire's Beck And Call, Part 6
“The car shuddered as it started moving, and for a moment, I felt like the floor dropped out from underneath me, that everything was slipping away. And maybe it was.
I took a deep breath and wiped my face as the elevator slowed to a stop. Someone from the next floor down was getting on, and I didn’t want a stranger to see me crying. I worked here, after all.

My eyes snapped upward, meeting his. His hair was disheveled, his breathing catching up like he’d run down a flight of stairs.
And I suppose he had.
“You came after me.”
I was in shock, standing there, staring at my boss, my eyes still full of tears threatening to spill over once again.MoreLess
