John returned to the office, every step heavy with the weight of his mission. He had left Miss B’s place in a hurry, each minute spent there feeling like a ticking bomb. The tension in his chest was almost unbearable, his heart pounding so hard he could hear it in his ears. He needed to time his return perfectly with Stephanie’s to avoid any suspicion. The anxiety gnawed at him, creating a pit in his stomach that seemed to grow with each step. The sky was a dull gray, heavy with the threat of rain, mirroring John’s tumultuous emotions. As he neared the office, he saw Stephanie and Jeffery’s car pull into the parking lot. His heart skipped a beat, the timing was perfect, almost too perfect. He watched as Stephanie stepped out of the car, her movements fluid and deliberate. He tried to read her face, searching for any clues. Her eyes met his, narrowing with a flicker of suspicion. His stomach twisted. She knew. “Where are you coming from?” Stephanie’s voice cut through the air, sharp

“I just feel restless,” I stated, my voice barely above a whisper, the words heavy with unspoken emotions. “Do you know what? Can we take a drive to the place where you wanted to take me?” I added quickly, desperation lacing my tone, hoping the night air would offer some respite from the crushing weight on my chest. Cole looked at me intently for a moment, his gaze piercing through the darkness, searching my eyes as if trying to read the chaos within. His presence was steady, a silent pillar amidst my crumbling world. If there was anything I wanted, it was the cold night breeze to glaze my face, the tranquility of the night to calm my racing thoughts. “Okay, I’m unable to sleep as well, so I don’t mind,” Cole shrugged, his voice a soothing balm against the raw edges of my nerves. “Give me a second to get my keys,” he added, and I nodded vehemently, the eagerness in my gesture betraying my need for escape. Cole turned to leave for his room but then halted, casting a glance back a

“Take and sight the document,” Joshua exclaimed abruptly, his voice cutting through the tense air of the room as he shoved a crumpled paper toward me. Joshua’s abrupt command pierced the tense air of the room like a knife. He shoved a crumpled paper toward me, his expression etched with frustration and anger that seemed to radiate off him in waves. Confusion flickered across my face as I took in his sudden intensity. “What is this?” I demanded, suspicion lacing my voice as I narrowed my eyes at him. His behavior was unsettling, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this than met the eye. Still reeling from his earlier outburst, Joshua’s face remained flushed with emotion. He had stormed away from the wall moments ago, his clenched fist leaving an echo of its impact in the air. Now, with a sharp tug, he yanked open a nearby drawer, his movements sharp and agitated as he retrieved the document he had thrust into my face just seconds before. “Just take and sign the
"I love you" Harry said to me. I couldn't help but drop my jaw unknowingly. I stared at him like a dumbfounded dawg. "What?" I said with my eyes widened. He looked deeply into my eyes as though wanting to communicate with me through my eyes. He came closer to me and grabbed my left hand and then placed the other on my face as i still stared." Yes I love you Annette. Since the first day I crossed paths with you, I have had this unexplainable feeling. Each day I sleep, I always think about you. Every minute I am seated, you always pop up in my thoughts. We actually started on a bad note but just in the duration of a few weeks we have gotten close to each other. I really wished you were mine" he said and caressed my chin with the hand he placed on It."What are you even talking about Harry? We seldom know each other, and now out of the blues you profess love to me? This all doesn't make sense" I said and pulled his hand off my face. He stared at the hand I took them down and then he re
