章 55: CHAPTER 55

EDWINA 

I managed to push away thoughts of Kieran, and focused on the work I had to do. 

The day passed in a blur of meetings, coffees, signatures and files after files of documents.

My eyes ached from staring at the screen too much, and my stomach let out a low rumble to indicate hunger.

I hadn't eaten anything since morning. The door to my office opened, and Juliette stepped in. 

"Come on, Ed. It's way past the closing hour. Shut the goddamn system and go home," she said as she rolled her eyes, dropping into the chair across mine.

"I'll be done in a minute. Just let me finish up this last document," I said, my attention fixed on my system.

Few minutes later, I was done. And Juliette let out a small whoop. 

"Finally. I don't know why you always insist on doing the bulk of the work yourself. That's why you hired me, is it not?" she said as I prepared to go home.
