Chapter 63

• Alex's day began in a frenzy as he rushed into his office, greeted by Emily, his efficient yet slightly exasperated secretary. She handed him a stack of contracts and documents needing his immediate attention. Focused on his responsibilities, Alex dove into the work, his mind consumed by the intricate legal jargon and critical decisions.
• Meetings punctuated his day, each demanding his undivided attention. Time flew by as he maneuvered through negotiations, presentations, and discussions. Amidst the chaos, his thoughts occasionally drifted to Ava, his partner. He couldn't shake the longing to be by her side, even though it hadn't been a full day since he last saw her.
• Hours slipped away, and in his relentless pursuit of completing tasks, Alex skipped breakfast and lunch. His stomach growled in protest, but he pushed on, fueled only by adrenaline and dedication to his work. Despite his determination, a yearning for Ava lingered in the back of his mind, distracting him momentarily from the pressing matters at hand.
