Why... Why was it that Khloe could do so many ruthless things and still walk away, and Trey could forgive her- yet when Angela gave everything she had to love him, he could be so utterly heartless? The next day at noon. Winnie was carrying a large stack of coffees and hurrying toward the elevator when someone bumped into her head-on. It was lunchtime, and the place was packed. The things in her hands nearly spilled. "Come here." A familiar voice brushed past her shoulder. Winnie looked up and saw Michael's figure pass by.

He was with his assistants, walking straight toward another private elevator without sparing her a glance. For a split second, she was stunned, wondering if he had been talking to her.

Remember-you're here to work, not to run errands. 11 Thinking about how she had almost been knocked over earlier, an impulsive surge rose in Michael's chest. Winnie was still taken aback and hadn't had time to respond when Michael's two perceptive assistants quickly took the coffee from her hands. "I've got it, Miss Olson."
