Chapter 40: Fear

Charlotte. “Good morning. Had a great night?” Damian greeted me as I opened the door. I was still tired from yesterday's work, but I loved the feeling. After I had dropped the call with Laura yesterday, I picked up one of the files I brought in from work. It was on the new furniture designs we were to add to our catalog. The targets are newly wedded, and I loved every bit of the proposal. Midway through checking the design, I had fallen asleep, and it was only my alarm that woke me this morning. I had slept weirdly and in my hand, so my hand hurt at the moment, but I knew I could get through the day. It wasn't the first time, and I had cooked really well. After stripping myself of my night dress, I hurriedly took a bath and headed for the kitchen where I made breakfast for myself. There, I made bacon, scrambled eggs and toasted my bread. After, I brewed my coffee and took it with them. It wasn't more than a minute after I was done with the dishes that Damian knocked the door.
