Chapter 43 Adeline

• ADELINE
• I sighed, exhausted as hell. In the end, he won. I wouldn’t say I was surprised, he had to be excellent at getting his way if he was able to get the company to where it was, but still I was a little pained and very worried. Yes, I was worried a little about Johnny, leaving him with the Archers felt like dropping him in a den of snakes, but I was more worried for myself. I was going to be alone with him. Fine, his assistant was going to be there, but it wouldn’t stop that look that made it feel like he was undressing me with his eyes, made my body a traitor no matter the number of times I screamed that he was the enemy.
• I managed to get the only bag I would be carrying shut and just sat on it to catch my breath. I couldn’t believe I actually did it, made two weeks worth of food in two days, because let’s be real, the moment Lila got access to that freezer, the meal would be feeding two mouths, not just Johnny’s. I mean why order takeout when all you had to do was microwave two plates instead of one for Johnny. I spent most of the day with Johnny and cooked during the night. Grayson had been nowhere in sight after the whole incident at the study. Heat rushed to my cheeks at the thought of it. I couldn’t believe I had actually done that, in his study! I had definitely lost it.
