"Talk to yourself like someone you love.."
                        –Brene Brown

I sat on my chair, looking in her office through the CCTV camera, but I couldn't see her face, which annoyed me.

But it looked like she fell asleep, because she rested her head on that desk 10 minutes ago and she been in that position ever since. I need to stop dumping too much work on her.

Letting out a sigh I stand up and walk outside.

Slowly and carefully opening her office door, trying not to make any noise I walk in, and like I guessed, she was sound asleep.

Leaning down to take a better look at her I slightly push the strand of hair away from her face.

The exhaustion was evident on her face, so I decided not to wake her up, but I couldn't just leave her here like this, she will be sore when she wakes up.

Carefully picking her up in my arms, hoping not to wake her up, I left her office and walked into mine. She was awfully light and underweight. Is she not eating properly?

Walking forward I lied her down on the sofa and covered her with my coat.

"Sleep well, Dove" I mumbled and gently run my hand over her cheek to which lean into my touch and let out a soft sigh, and in that instant I knew I was in big trouble. Well fuck me.

Standing up I gave her one last look before walking out of my office and decided to take Micah on the meeting.

Climbing down the stairs I walked towards Micah's office and pushed open the door, he was busy on his computer, a slight frown on his face and a lollipop in his mouth. He's a grown up child.

"It's rare seeing you in my office, what did I do to have such a pleasure" he chuckled when he saw me and I roll my eyes at him and take a seat in one of the chairs opposite to him.

"Did you miss me, grumpy pants?"

"You make me regret coming down here, Mickey" I mutter and he only chuckled.

"Jokes aside, how come you left her alone up there?" He asked and just the mention of her name made me smile.

"Lover boy, back to earth!" He hollered and I sighed, giving him a hard glare but his smile didn't falter.

"We have a meeting with Mr&Mrs George, you're coming with me" I inform him.

"Is it about the upcoming gala?" He inquired and I gave him a nod.

"Those two are boring ass people, why you doing this to me, why can't you go alone?" He whined and I chuckled at him.

"Because you're the Co-Owner and I shouldn't be the only one getting bored to death, now get up" I retort and stand up and began walking towards the door.
