Back in Time: Unshackling From Love

Chapter 44

Mikayla noticed that Jerome had returned to his usual demeanor. She was assured that he had faked being intoxicated and was playing tricks on her.

She stormed off angrily, leaving Jerome behind.

A subtle fragrance lingered briefly as Mikayla’s departing figure faded into the

Jerome sent a message to Mike, “Turn down the Bay development proposal from Luxze Corporation.”

Mike was concerned about Jerome’s intoxicated state. So, he arrived at the

Mike tactfully stayed silent. He watched Mikayla tenderly dab Jerome’s

forehead with the towel.

Jerome was startled by the sudden touch on his skin. He immediately sat up
