"Why doesn't he wake up?" Mia asked with furrowed brows at the manager.Unable to bear seeing the girl's anxiety, the man in neat clothes stepped forward. Without a word, he pinched Julian's big toe with his hand. In an instant, the CEO gasped and kicked what had pulled him back from the dream world."Ugh!" he groaned while greeting the lights. A second later, his very red eyes met the girl's gaze."Sir? Are you okay?" the girl sighed, confusing the man.Seeing his lover's face so close to him, Julian's consciousness was suddenly intact. Paying no heed to his still heavy head, the man sat up."Mia? Is it a dream?" the CEO muttered with round eyes. "You already want to talk to me."As the couple guessed each other's thoughts, the manager bent down, trying to get a better look at Julian's face.“Are you all right, Sir? Your lover is worried if something bad happens to you."“What bad thing? I'm fine," the man replied,

Mia blinked slowly looking at the Alps that stretched in front of her. Some of the peaks were covered by white snow, adding to the soothing beauty. "It's so wonderful," the girl sighed, raising the corners of her lips. The tightness that was pressing on the chest had lessened a lot. With eyes closed, Mia took a deep breath. However, even though her throat was no longer blocked, her brows were still wrinkled. The broken heart of the girl was still not completely healed. “Can't you leave my mind? I want to enjoy this panorama,” Mia thought to Julian's shadow. Unfortunately, the longer she hid in the dark, the clearer Julian's face became in memory. Not wanting to be overcome by sadness again, the secretary returned her sight. A second later, a lake near the foot of the mountain cheered her up. Right at that moment, Mia felt someone's presence behind her back. “Why are you still following me? Aren't you afraid of heights?" the girl asked without

With eyes that never stopped shedding tears, Mia repeated her sincere statement. “I'm sorry for being selfish. I only think about my own feelings, without knowing that you suffer more.” Hearing his lover's wail, Julian's annoyance suddenly disappeared, replaced by a pity that was no less stifling. While letting out a faint sigh, the man finally moved to the empty space beside the girl. "Mia," he called, touching the shoulder that was shaking violently. "I'm sorry, Sir," the girl repeated the words, hiding her face in the shadow of her head. She was embarrassed to show the wrinkles of the eyebrows or the red nose. Gently, Julian cupped his lover's cheek. Slowly, he brought her gaze to meet his eyes. "I am alright. As long as you don't run away from me again, I'm fine," the man nodded reassuringly. “But, I have gone too far, Sir. I was the one who caused all these misunderstandings, but I was also the one who made the fuss. I came this f

As soon as he entered the hotel room, Julian rushed to check every corner of the room. Carefully, he made sure that no one was hiding there, including in wardrobe, bathtub, and behind curtains as well. The balcony overlooking the mountain also did not go unnoticed. After the inspection was over, he locked the door and propped it up with a chair. “Should we continue this stressful journey? It doesn't feel like a vacation at all,” the girl mumbled as she dragged the suitcase to the side of the wardrobe. A small frown had lodged at the base of her brow since Gabriella's video call ended. “Nowhere is safe, Mia. Even if we return to Quebracha, we won't be focusing on work either. Anxiety will definitely hinder our performance,” Julian said while stroking the secretary's arm. After taking a deep breath, trying to quell the restlessness that weighed on her heart, the girl nodded. "Right," she sighed disappointedly. Insecurity was still lingering at the bottom of her

As soon as she opened her eyes, Mia was immediately greeted by the empty side of the bed. In a few blinks, the girl lifted her head and started looking around. After checking in several directions, she finally found her lover, pensive in the chair facing her."You woke up so early this morning, hm?" Mia asked hoarsely. Even though her eyelids were still heavy, she kept pushing her head up from the pillow.Getting the unexpected attention, Julian gasped. As soon as he saw the girl smiling at him, the man also raised the corners of his lips. "Yeah, I woke up and couldn't sleep anymore.""Since when?" Mia inquired while looking at the clock on the wall."An hour ago," the man answered, glancing at the same direction.Wrinkling her eyebrows, the girl got off the bed. After a few steps, she arrived in front of Julian and gently rubbed the man's puffy eyes.“Are you really unable to sleep or on purpose to be on guard? You must be overshadowe
