Chapter 47 - 47 - what did you say to my wife

Chapter 47

~Elara's POV

When we got back to the office, Darlon walked me to my office…then he stopped.

He touched the edge of the frame lightly, like he didn't want to distract me too much.

"I'll be in my office," he said.

I nodded. "Okay."

He hesitated. "If you need anything, call me."

"I will."

Then he left.

I watched his back for a moment, wondering why my chest felt warm. Maybe because he had defended me inside that boardroom. Maybe because he had stayed close enough for me to breathe.

I shook my head and slipped inside.

"Okay, work," I muttered to myself.

I sat down and brought out my sketchpad and tablet. The designs were all over my head.

I didn't even realise how fast time was passing. My hand kept moving, drawing, erasing, drawing again.

"Maybe a softer curve here… no, that looks weird…"

I whispered to myself as I worked.

I didn't know how long I stayed that way until I heard:

"Elara."

I looked up sharply.

Darlon was at the door.
