Edward’s unwavering determination rubbed off on me. ‘Yeah, since I’ve already chosen this path, what’s there to be afraid of? Just be bold.‘

“I quit my job,” I said softly after we’d been driving for a bit.

Edward looked a little surprised, then he smiled. “So, are you planning to come work for me?”

“I don’t want to work at your company,” I said honestly. I’ve thought it through–if things ever went south between us, I’d have to make a messy exit.

I just want to build something of my own now, something that’s truly mine.

Edward raised an eyebrow. “No pressure if you don’t want to work. Just relax for now.”

“Once I’ve taken some time off and found the right direction for my own business, I’ll start fresh,” I said.

Edward gently twirled a strand of my hair around his finger and asked in a low voice, “What kind of business do you want to start? Let me help you.”

“Alright, let’s talk about it after I’ve had some time to rest,” I replied, not turning down his offer.

“Come over to my place tonight,” Edward suggested.

“You have a house around here?” I asked, thinking back to how Vivian stayed at a private villa the last time she visited.


“Yeah, I do,” Edward replied. “Didn’t Ryan get a little townhouse in your neighborhood too?”

I shot him a look. “Are you upset?”
