Chapter 84 A Soothing Remedy

• Oliver closed the document he had signed and placed it on his desk. He loosened his tie and closed his eyes for a moment, exhaustion evident on his face. Today’s meetings had drained him deeply. Managing major cases was giving Oliver a splitting headache.
• He glanced at his watch—it was already ten at night. Nicole was out meeting Shawn. Oliver had set strict rules: Nicole wasn’t allowed to be out longer than two hours. The main reason was simple—he couldn’t stand the thought of her spending too long with Shawn. Call it selfish; he admitted it. In his mind, Nicole belonged to him—only him.
• A knock sounded at the door. Instinctively, Oliver turned and told whoever it was to come in.
