Chapter 11

Emily's POV

Seated before the desk in the office, the investors were discussing among themselves. I had just pitched a really good deal to them, and I was waiting for their response. Even though I knew too well I had given them an offer they knew they would be stupid to reject, I still waited like I was clueless about their next action. My fingers were tapping simultaneously on the desk I was anxious.

I checked my phone, hoping to see my husband's message but there was none. Henry has been out of the country for three days, and in those three days he had only sent me three text messages.

'Make sure you visit the company today'

'Don't forget the project I told about; get it done.'

'Tell me, which is better, diamond or gold?'

My responses to those texts were not acknowledged, but I knew he saw them. But he wouldn't answer if I asked him why, so I waited for him to come back today.
