When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“Hold up.” John caught up with me and dragged me back. “Nothing’s more important than your health. Finish your breakfast.”

“I don’t have time! My client is waiting for me.” I tried to break free, but John forced me to sit down.

“Shut up and eat up.” John served me a bowl of chicken soup and looked me in the eye. He then shifted his gaze to Louis, hinting me he could tell Louis to make me stay if he wanted to.

Dammit. I couldn’t refuse if it were Louis. Besides, getting lectured by him would be the worst. Well, I had no choice but to finish my chicken soup. At the same time, I observed everyone.

It was odd nobody asked me about last night. I went out late and came back obviously knocked out. I expected it from Emma since she was a happy-go-lucky woman, but John? He should have known what happened. He was always an alert one.

I looked at Emma. “Who, me?” Then I pointed at myself. “Where are we going?”
