How's your day and work?" Anita inquired."Fine, fine, and yours?""Good," she responds."Okay. I just called to know how you're doing. I'm honestly missing you, and you know Liam placed a ban on me. The last time I arrived on Monday just to see your beautiful face, the security men didn't allow me to use the elevator.""For real?" Anita asks aloud."Yes, anyway, let's forget about Liam.
