His Waiting Paid Off

Seated in a dim corner of The Velvet Roast, Morgan's eyes remained glued on the entrance. Time seemed to stretch as he waited, his anticipation growing with each passing moment.

According to the inside information from Oliver's men, she should have arrived by now. His gaze held an impatience look, his mind working through various scenarios as he continued to scan the room.

With the next creak of the door, his attention sharpened. This time, his calm waiting paid off.

His eyes followed closely when a woman wearing crimson dress made a graceful and elegant entrance, taking in every detail as she moved through the cozy space. The soft lighting played on her features, casting a warm glow on her as she walked through the cafe with a certain confidence.
