*TESSA* When I got home,the aroma that assualted my nostrils was quite mouthwatering. “I made dinner!”Audrey announced walking up to me. She pulled me to the dining room and we sat down to eat. “I also got us a bottle of wine.”She said wriggling the bottle in the air. She poured me a glass of w

I sighed.”I can’t believe Candice keeps telling you everything about me.” “I’m her Boss so I kinda used that to my advantage.Please don’t be mad at her.” I rolled my eyes. “And I also know that you want to stay here for a while.I have a good friend,she’s a senior accountant in a very nice company

*TESSA* His words made me go speechless…it made me think of Declan. He used to say that to me. I leaned against the closed window. When I could see that we were finally getting closed to my street. Calvin’s phone rang out. He slowed down and picked up. This time…he used his earphone so I didn
