Chapter 127: I'm Giving You Three Day

Angeln POV

After leaving the hospital, I hurried back to the Wilson Advisory Partners offici

As I pushed through the glass doors, I spotted Christopher waiting the lobby. He straightened immediately when he saw me,

"Back already?" He stepped forward, taking my briefcase. "How was your meeting with Sean?

He reached out to fix a strand of hair that the wind had blown out of place, his fingers lingering a moment too long. I pulled back slightly, feeling uneasy after the morning's events.

He released my hand abruptly, hurt flashing across his features. "Why? You can't bear to sever ties with Shaw?

"It's not that," I insisted, fighting to keep my voice steady. "I'm making a professional decision. Marcus believes this partnership is best for the company. I shouldn't let personal matters cloud my business judgment."

Christopher stared d at me intently, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "Are you sure? Are you certain you won't be affected by personal matters?"
