Kelly's POV

Looking back at them would just hurt me so even when I really want to look at Pierce who's talking to Lexi on the street, restrained myself. My chest is clenching again because of the pain but won't let his pain drive me nuts. I was about to go to my office when someone called my name. When I looked at the person who called me, my mood instantly lightened.

"Chris!" I called happily.

He was smiling sweetly as he walked towards me and when he got the chance, he pulled me for a gentle and warm hug.

His lips parted as he stared into my eyes. To

lighten the mood, I smiled at him again. "Did you come here to visit me or you have a business here?"

He smiled again. "Well, I'm the new model here."

"You mean you're our new model for the magazine cover?" I was so shocked. I never had the chance to meet our new models because I was busy with Pierce and his stupid decision of replacing one of our models with Lexi. He chuckled. "Why do I feel like you're not happy to see me?"
