#Chapter 140: A Day in the Life

A few days passed by after the networking event. Things felt peaceful in the penthouse, and although I really only stayed in with Ella to stay away from the paparazzi, I didn’t mind. It was relaxing to stay inside and away from the public, and I spent a lot of time drawing and reading with Ella, which was nice after being so busy lately.

Although I enjoyed spending the evening with Edrick and watching the comedy show together that night, I didn’t like the other people that were there and I feared that I would see many of the same people at future events like that.

However, it seemed that my reprieve was brief, because Edrick came to me a few days later and told me about another upcoming event that I would have to attend with him.

“I need you to come to a work event with me tomorrow morning,” Edrick said casually as he stirred his tea on Thursday morning before work.
