It was a sleepless night for me. When I looked into the mirror the next morning, I sighed irritably upon seeing the dark circles under my eyes.

I prepared some breakfast for myself but didn’t have an appetite. Thus, I only ate a little bit and went to the office.

 

Never did I expect Michael to be serious about working in Joyful Success for half a year, but he actually set up his own office here.

Glancing at the temporary CEO’s office a short distance away, I began to worry about what happened with Michael the previous night.

I felt skittish every time I saw him, so I really didn’t know how I was going to get through the next six months of seeing him every day.

 

Fortunately for me, Michael was a workaholic and treated everyone else like thin air whenever he was working. Naturally, he didn’t make things difficult for me either.

Just before getting off work, I was arranging the files on my desk when my phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, panic rose in me when I saw that it was Yuval.

I peeked at Michael’s office guiltily.

 

Seeing as his attention was focused on a document in his hand, I quickly picked up the call.
