Her eyes widened as she stared at her boss, who seemed uneasy over this small matter. If she told the truth, would her boss not let her marry her best friend? Moreover, her boss and her best friend had been on bad terms lately. Would the two men be at odds again?
She kept shaking her head to banish the negative thoughts. For now, she wouldn't tell him the bad news directly. She was growing increasingly resentful of her boss, who had begun to be gentle with her, even though he would eventually forget about her.
"Sorry, I won't be home late again. I promise, Jefferson."
His right hand patted the sofa. "Sit next to me."
Her head lowered, she sat next to her boss. For a moment, her gaze fell on her boss's palm, still wearing her pink bandage. Unconsciously, a sweet smile graced her beautiful face.
"Aren't you tired of wearing a pink heart-shaped bandage?"
Jefferson also stared at his palms. "No."
"Why? If you use your black card, you can buy a better band-aid."
