CHAPTER 64 - Sacrifice

  During their whole argument, I pretend to be sleeping so I could hear what they are about to say.?

  I understand the severity of this situation, especially to my career, but even more so, to Dmitri’s company.?

  Thanks to his sister, I find a way to make this right. This is at least, one thing I could do for him.?

  So I pretend once again to be waking up and wait for him to notice me.?

  When he sees that I am already awake, he runs to me and immediately checks me out, with a worried face.?

  “Hey, how do you feel? Can you breathe now? Does your heart still ache?” he asks worriedly.?

  I smile and lean to him, “I am fine, Dee, sorry to make you worry,” I apologize.?

  “I-I read your e-mails, I am sorry for intruding. But what they did was inappropriate. You can sue them for this, I’ll give you my best legal advisors if you want, Avery,” he angrily says.?

  I shake my head. “No, please, let’s stop. I just want to go home, Dee,” I beg him.?
