Finally opening the bottle, I grab a glass and fill it with red wine. The aroma is pleasant and my tastebuds tingle in anticipation.

Mila’s brows furrowed as she got up from the sofa and walked over to me. “Was Bernard a bad boss

I shook my head quickly. “Oh no, Bernard was a sweetheart. Poor man barely had enough time to have a break. It’s the monster of a Ceo who’s the problem.” I said and lifted the glass to my lips. I sniffed the smoky aroma and took a sip.

G*d, I needed that.
