Chapter 98

My hand hesitated before reaching for the handle but I grasped it firmly, feelin cold metal press against the

skin of my palm, before I turned it simultaneously taking in a breath. The second that I had pushed open that door, Dante’s head had snapped up to look at who ever it had been that dared to interrupt him in such a harsh

manner.

His face was unreadable even as he took all of me in from the top of my head to the tip

He was not the most pleased to see me but that came as no surprise to me whatsoever. After all, he did have many wrong assumptions and notions that he believed it so he was bound to be a bear until he was willing to give me a hearing.

“Can’t I stop by to see you?” I asked but he did not appreciate my nonchalance neither was he in the mood for it. I let out a sigh but didn’t allow my shoulders to slump. “You have not been taking any of my calls, Dante. I tried getting a hold of you multiple times and nothing.” I jogged his memory and by the look on his face he had been
