When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“You…” I pushed her away then headed straight for my office in the hotel.

Finally, it was afternoon.

There was no more trouble from Joyce since the morning. It could be that she had left work early due to being in a bad mood.

Deep in thought, I didn’t notice Joseph standing at the entrance to my office until I heard the excited screams from my female colleagues.

“Ms. Stovall, may we speak in private?” inquired Joseph.

I felt the prying glances from all around me, so I nodded uneasily. “Sure!”

I instinctively wanted to reject but nodded after some hesitation. “Where is he?”

“The hotel’s parking lot!”

I nodded. “Okay!”

When he saw me walking back towards my office, he continued, “Ms. Stovall, Mr. Fuller is already waiting for you downstairs.”

I turned to look at him silently before saying, “I know. I need to get my purse.”

Baffled by my answer, he acknowledged, “Then I will wait for you here.”
