Chapter 20

Liam stared at the phone, the screen already black. He waited for Veronica to call him again even if it was to question him about something she didn't like or misunderstood. 

The first call had been sudden and when he saw the name, he thought it had been Jerome testing out the new phone he gave Veronica. Seeing her face changed his mood and now he wanted to see it again.

"I should go home," said Liam.

He wanted to but couldn't. 

His attention had been on Veronica for the last few days and in his absence, the idiots he had hired didn't seem to know how to think while he was away from work.

Liam stood up from his chair, deciding to walk around the office to see what needed to be done then he could head home for a moment to see his wife. His wife just came back from almost passing through death's doors. No one should expect an appointment with him.
