Harper's POV
I lay in bed for what felt like hours, finally mustering the courage to make a phone call. We ended up talking the entire night. The next day, I slept until noon. When I woke up, I noticed someone leaning against the bed.
"Marco?"
"You're awake?" His voice was low, and I could see the exhaustion on his face.
"What's wrong?" I asked, noticing how worn out he looked.
"Nothing… I just thought…" He trailed off, swallowing his words, but I could tell what he was worrying about.
Time passed quickly, and soon, I was at his office, waiting for him to finish work.
“Hello, do you have an appointment?”
“I’m here to see your CEO,” I said, pulling out my phone and texting Marco.
Dear, I’m downstairs.
“Sorry, I’ll need to call and confirm.”
The whispers around me grew louder.
“Have you heard? There’s a gorgeous woman looking for our boss.”
“Really? I’ve got to see this.”
“She’s stunning!”
“Please wait for a moment; the assistant will come to take you upstairs soon.”
