Chapter 27 My legs are numb, I can’t get up

In Edward’s office, Sophie rested on the couch with a magazine in her hands. She also took the occasional glance at the ever stunning Edward sitting in front of her.

Edward was discussing some business matters with Andrew. Sophie on the other hand kept her eyes on the envelope from Nelissa on the table.

Sophie then put down the magazine and asked, “Edward, what are you going to be doing two days from now?”

Edward didn’t respond. He dug his head deep into his work.

“Miss Bailey, Mr. Hales’ schedule for the week is already full,” Andrew instead replied.

“Alright,” Sophie smiled and responded. There was a trace of subtle disappointment in her eyes.

She graced over to Edward’s desk and reached for Nelissa’s envelope.

She noticed that the envelope was really thin; as a matter of fact, it seemed empty. Before she could pick it up, Edward grabbed her hand and stared at her.

“I hate people disturbing me when I’m working. You are distracting me,” Edward reprimanded.
