Chapter 44. Engaged

“I…I truly apologize, Mr. Ellison… I was to blame for it. I guess… I should go, and see your dad…” To dry my hands, I first rubbed my palm against the fabric of my dress and then played with the hem of my dress with my fingers.

“What…?” he frowned. “I’m still asking you a question. Who brought you here? I do not want other people wasting my time!” he slammed his hand on the desk which made me jump on my seat.

“S-sir…” I fumbled for words while staring at him in wonder. What happened to the kind, understanding, and affable Devon that I once knew?

I cautiously turned my head and was taken aback by the sight of a stunningly attractive woman, which produced a flinch in my chest. As she got closer, a broad grin spread across her face, and her grey eyes lit up with excitement as she gazed at the dashing man who was sitting behind the desk.<
