When Love Breaks by jack

Chapter 7

Since he had shown who mattered more to him between me and Margaret, there was no reason for me to keep it a secret any longer.

“What kind of surprise?” Bryant’s curiosity was piqued, and he wanted to know

“I’ll tell you after work. Wait for me!” I tiptoed for a quick kiss on his lips, then turned away, leaving him standing there.

After Bryant left, I finally managed to focus on my design drafts. I had no idea how long it had been before someone knocked on my office door again.

“Come in,” I said, without looking up.

“That’s good. We’re family here, so feel free to talk to me if you’re upset. Don’t keep it all bottled up.”

Acting the understanding sister, Margaret tucked her hair behind her ear and added softly “Anyway, Bry said I could pick any position in the company. I haven’t worked for many years, so it doesn’t matter which department I end up in.”
