Chapter 13: In Which He Helps Her, Secretly

Theo was in the best of mood.

How many years has it been since he felt this burst of sunshine in his chest? Hell, who remembers such things anyway.

He was actually looking forward to the day. Fixing his tie, he couldn’t stop smiling at his reflection. Rose, as always, knows what he wants and has the solution for all his needs. What will he do without her?

As he strolled to his car, he pictured in his mind Aurora standing sweetly in his office, waiting patiently for him, and when she saw him, she would greet him with her big smile. His plan was flawless. He would pull some strings here and there to help her earn as much as she can, so she wouldn't feel guilty about going away for the weekend.

Selfish b*stard. You just wanted Aurora for yourself. He grinned at his reflection in the elevator door. Hell, yeah.
