Blake’s POV

I gazed out the window. Morning light hit the hardwood floors of Lunar Mansion, making my hangover worse.

“Handle it as you see fit,” I finally said. “Just bring the design drafts and hangover soup.”

I hung up and moved to the dining table, where I began examining some jewelry samples from Parker Group. Despite my pounding headache, I forced myself to focus on the business at hand.

Michael paused, then nodded. “Of course.”

He added, “Mrs. Parker has always threatened divorce or leaving. When you ignore it, she gets bored and comes back to apologize. This time is just more dramatic than usual.”

Something about his assessment shifted my mood slightly. The image of Audrey walkin our divorce certificate flashed through my mind, but I dismissed it.
