Chapter 49

• Alex came back from work at half past midnight and was exhausted but he was determined to see the woman who had been on his mind for the past few months or so. However, he strongly doubted that she would be awake because it was late. Yet, he hoped.
• The eerie silence welcomed him as he entered the quiet house. He was hungry for her presence, to feel her presence but it seemed they were deliberately avoiding each other since the night they were involved in romance. He wasn't happy with the distance that emerged between them since that night. He couldn't even remember the last time he set his eyes on her pretty face . Gawd, he missed her so much. He had texted her earlier today that he would explain everything about the instruction he gave to not trust her friend Hunter, but it seemed she was asleep as the house was quiet.
• So he made up his mind to sleep in so he wouldn't go to work early. After all, he was the CEO and it gave room for the flexibility it offered in his schedule. It was his company and he could do anything without being reprimanded. He wrestled with the desire to resolve things with his woman versus his own fatigue and the need to rest.
