Madam Chapman realized something was wrong and reached out to stop me.
I took a step back and turned to leave, but Lucas suddenly ran over and hugged me tightly from behind.
“No way Violet, you can’t leave me, I won’t allow it.”
“Let go of me, arsehole!”
“Not until you promise to make up with me.”
I struggled and punched his arm, but Lucas didn’t budge.
“She told you to let go of your fucking arm, didn’t you hear her?”
A magnetic and authoritative voice rings out.
I looked up to see my boss, Gabriel, striding angrily towards us.
He forcefully broke Lucas’s wrist and freed me from Lucas’s confinement.
Lucas looked at him warily and asked with a strained neck, “You’re Violet’s boss, aren’t you? This is a private matter between me and her, you’re in no position to interfere!TM
Gabriel hooked his lips in a smile and looked at Lucas like he was looking at rubbish.
“Who said this has nothing to do with me, Violet is my goddess, I’ve been secretly in love with her for a long time, you harassing my goddess is no different from harassing me.”
“Security, blow him out, I don’t want to see this clown in the company again.”
Upon receiving the order, the security personnel immediately grabbed Lucas and dragged him out.
I let go of Gabriel’s hand in a hurry and took a step back to bow and apologise to him.
“I’m sorry boss, it’s my personal business that’s affecting the company. And …… thanks for helping me.”
I hadn’t expected Gabriel to put down his work and come out personally to help me with Lucas, much less make up such a lie about liking me in order to get Lucas to die…….
Gabriel nodded slightly, then smiled and said:
“Since I’ve done you such a great favour, would you like to stay and work for me for a while longer?”

i wee dunned, i did the Combi’sal ek was just to enable sue to stay and continue working for farm, tai didere dare to prose him for too long, all I could say was, “Yes 11 stay and work well
Since Lucas was Vieved out, he eyed me every day to agrokorize and asked me to give him another
But i didn’t give him any response,
And just like that, Christmas caINE,
My last time at Ferrara Media, the Christmas party at the office,
Most people stayed back straight from work, but I wanted to duck home and shower, try to pull a miracle together and make myself irresistible,
That’s the first time I’ve let myself consider the possibilities of dating in my new life,
It was the last day of work today, and everyone is pumped for the holidays and celebrating together.
I giggle as I scan the room, and then I stop still as my eyes meet Gabriel’s.
He’s wearing a dark gray suit, white shirt, Santa hat and my heart on the bottom of his shoe. He gives me a slow, sexy smile and raises his glass.
I smile and raise my glass right back.
He goes back to talking to the people he’s standing with, and I watch him, waiting for him to glance back
over at me.
He doesn’t.
My heart free–falls from my chest at his totally unaffected demeanor, it’s not going to happen…is it?
I don’t know who I was kidding.
It’s 11:30 p.m. and Gabriel left hours ago, he didn’t even say goodbye.
I couldn’t quite put my feelings into words.
I came back to make up for my mistake, but Gabriel wasn’t as reluctant to see me go this time as he was when I left abruptly before. In fact, now he seemed indifferent to my upcoming departure.
What a prick!
I’m going to get going, my eyes linger on the elevator and I just…I want to see my office one last time. I

don’t know why, but I do. I take the elevator to the top floor and make my way to my desk.
I look out over the view, it’s so different at night up here, the lights of New York light up the entire skyline
Unlike the busy and bustling daytime.
It’s peaceful.
Serene.
“Couldn’t even say goodbye,” I mutter to myself as I cross my arms and look out over the view.
“Goodbye,” a deep voice says.
I spin to see Gabriel sitting in the darkened corner of the room.
He has an amber drink in his hand, his elbows resting on his thighs as he watches me.
“Gabriel,” I gasp, “I…didn’t see you.”
He stands and puts his drink down; his eyes are dark and dangerous and he walks over to me and stands so that his face is an inch away from mine.
