Chapter 122: You Didn't Have Me Back Then
It was almost six in the morning and Damien and Katherine were still in bed. Instead of preparing breakfast like he usually would, he chose to stay with her.
"Why don't you take the day off? There's not much to do anyway, Markus can cover for you today." Damien pulled the blanket up to cover her as he laid on his side.
Katherine shook her head. "I'll be fine. I don't want to stay here and waste the day away just like what I did over the weekend."
"You can come in late then." He searched for her hand under the blanket and held it, his thumb brushing it in short strokes. "Do you still want to leave this place?"
"I really appreciate that you allowed me to live here. Even though that wouldn't stop them from gossiping, I still can't stay here and pretend that I'm okay."

NixxxiE For those who are concerned about the footnote, don't worry, it is in an explanatory note of (...) and it is not included in the word count so it does not affect the SS price. As long as you see [1] [2] etc, those are explanatory notes.
