98 I Do

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.”
