The meeting had ended, and Hailey, guided by her assistant, moved into her new office.

It wasn’t large, but it wasn’t small either. The office had been vacant for some time–previously Isaac’s, but after he was promoted to General Manager, no one had been assigned to take over.

He hardly ever went home anymore, often staying with her.

Mattie, ever considerate, made him coffee and gently tried to soothe the fire of his rage.

With her warmth and soft affection, naturally, his anger began to subside.

Aiden, not wanting to argue in front of Mattie, looked visibly pained as he quickly hung up.

Mattie blinked, her expression innocent and confused. “What happened?”

Aiden stood, clutching his chest as though his anger was causing physical pain. “I need to go back for a while.”

Mattie nodded, her voice soft. “Okay, I’ll see you out.”
