She was still dressed in the same outfit from earlier. A white shirt paired with a form–fitting white skirt. The faint scent of alcohol on Gabriel made her thoughts drift. Gabriel wore black long–sleeve pajamas with a robe over them, his entire figure concealed.

He didn’t take it.

Gabriel would never sign anything after drinking.

Gabriel said this with the authority of a boss, with no room for niceties.

Emma’s face turned pale.

She quickly apologized, “Sorry, Mr. Campbell. I won’t do it again.”

She retracted the file and bent her waist in a sincere apology.“I’ll leave now, I didn’t mean disturb
