Chapter 72

At AW Corporation.

After wrapping up a meeting, Taylor retreated to his office, intending to quietly pore over some documents. But all he could think about was Clara’s face and figure.

He had no clue what was happening! It was like he was bewitched, his mind filled with Clara, and he couldn’t get her out of his head.

Unable to concentrate on his work, he got up, walked over to the floor–to–ceiling window in his office, and absent–mindedly lit up a cigarette.

“Mr. Atwood!”

His secretary knocked on the door from outside. “The folks in the conference room said they’ve sent over the quarterly summary. Do you want to have a look?”

Taylor waved his hand, “Nah, I’m not in the mood.”

“I’m taking the day off. Don’t bother me unless it’s something important. I need to step out.”

With that, Taylor grabbed his coat from the back of his chair and headed straight out of the office.
