The next morning I didn't see Asher.
I woke up before dawn, got ready and left the penthouse. How was still asleep.
Thank god for that!
The office was empty, it was only 7. I spent the next two hours reviewing emails and sketches, losing myself in the work. I didn't realize how much time passed until Lily knocked at my door.
"Boss, you have a visitor." She said in a worried tone.
"Who is it?" I asked, though I already knew who he must be.
"Your husband." She replied. "He's in the lobby. Should I send him?"
I wanted to say no. But I also knew that refusal would only trigger his obsession. It would only make him more determined to insert himself into my world.
"Send him." I said, hating myself for complying.
Exactly after two minutes, I saw him standing by the door.
"Good morning." He said, as he entered inside uninvited. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by to see what my wife is working on, since I didn't get to see you in the morning."
