Natalie watched Easton walk away, feeling a wave of despair crash over her. She sank into her office chair, burying her face in her hands as tears streamed down her cheeks. Why do I always cry?

As soon as she said that, James strode in. The sunlight poured in casting a warm glow around him. He stood tall, his jawline sharp and his demeanor cool yet charming. "Natalie, I'm here," he said, his voice filled with tenderness. Natalie wiped her tears quickly, her face brightened. "James, you made it."

"Yep!" James noticed her red eyes, a flicker of concern crossing his face. "Did Easton upset you?"

"No, not anymore. I was crying because I'm finally free from him. I'm actually super happy," she answered with a cheerful grin, the tears in her eyes shimmering like scattered stars

James looked at her deeply, sympathy etched across his face for all she had endured. "When you're feeling down, a little sweetness can lift your spirits.

"Delicious!" she exclaimed, her happiness shining through her smile.

"That's good. By the way, Gordon mentioned that he'll be back for your birthday," said James.
