With that, she prepared to hall a cab and leave

âI need to get back to the office ASAPâ
Byran didn't buy her excuse. âWhat's the rush? You're done with work, aren't you?"
Ellinor forced a smile, âMy morning work is done, but I still have work to do in the afternoon! Mr. Howa
Byran didn't believe her at all and he had his eyes fixed on her face.
âEllinor, are you in such a hurry to leave because you're afraid to face Theo?â
Ellinor fell silent.
