Chapter 19 : What Does That Mean

When Mia arrives back at their shared apartment, she has a new perspective.

If she ever wants to feel like more than just the poor maid that shacked up with her boss, she needs to work on herself. Elon is constantly chasing down the future that he wants for himself, why shouldn't Mia do the same?

Elon is still in his office when she steps through the threshold. Elon walks toward her, a small smile on his face.

"Did you have a good time? I'm sorry I couldn't join you. I was just about to call to check on you." He leans in, wrapping her in a hug.

Mia nods. "I made a friend." She's still tipsy enough that forming coherent sentences might be a struggle.

Elon leads her to their room, one hand on her lower back. "Tell me all about it."

Mia describes the bar as Elon helps her into her pajamas and washes off her makeup. He listens intently, scouring a little when she brings up getting hit on, but he doesn't interrupt.
