The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Ayla crawled out of bed and draped a night robe.

"Mr.Clark, you have nothing to worry about.I get paid to work so I will fulfill my obligations."

What did he think of her? She was an independent woman who earned her own living! 

"That's fine," Brian nodded.

Leaving her alone at home to her own devices could spell trouble.She might as well accompany him to the office.

After freshening herself up, she sat alone at the dining table for breakfast.Brian was sipping on some strong coffee.

"I've decided to go to the airport and send Ms.Evans off this afternoon," she said softly.

She believed it was necessary to inform him in advance of her decision so that he would be aware.

There was then no need to inform Anna.

Taking a sip of his coffee, Brian told her, "Wait for me in the office.I'll go along with you."

Since Yareli was returning to Italy, Brian needed to see her off.

Ayla almost choked on her milk when she heard those words.Had she said something wrong? Why didn't it occur to her that he would want to see Yareli off? 

"Is something wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Her surprised expression did not escape him.

Were his words so frightening? She seemed to be avoiding him more these days.

Ayla took a bite of her sandwich and said, "Not at all.I can't refuse your order anyway."

He would definitely go and see Yareli off, irrespective of what she said.

Linda was patiently waiting at the company gate for a while.

Although she had only spent a few days at Clark Group, she had observed that Brian's car was always parked at the company gate, never in the underground parking lot.
