It was as if the next few days were a world of their own. Eliana and Maurice spent their hours in a youthful kind of love—one that locked them away from anything and anyone but each other. They stayed together all day long, never leaving each other’s side.

The time passed like this until Corbin showed up at the hospital armed with a candid speech.

The bottom line was that Maurice was still the CEO of the Moran Group, and he couldn’t just ignore his position in favor of a relationship. The dream had been drawn out for too long. It was time to go back to reality.

Corbin had held off as long as he could, and he was at the end of his tether. The senior directors had been hounding him with questions at every opportunity, driving him further and further up the wall.

Maurice had no reaction to his subordinate’s dilemma, but Eliana took pity on the poor man.

“You should go back now. I’m fine. The company needs you.”

Maurice’s unwillingness was evident, but he knew that Corbin was right. He had taken a long absence from work, and it was time to deal with his responsibilities to the company.

Taking Eliana’s hand, he gave her gentle reminders.

“If you feel any pain, or if there’s any problem, call me. Can you promise me that?”

Eliana gave him a soft smile. “Okay. Since when were you worrier?”

Corbin stood aside and watched Maurice repeat his worried but soft nagging, holding Eliana’s hand as if he didn’t want to let go.

Corbin inwardly sighed. Love was a force to reckon with. He had never thought that his boss who thought of nothing but his job 24/7 was capable of such a tender expression.
