It was almost midday when Marco dropped Lyvana off at work.
She went straight to the conference room to prepare for her meeting with some clients.
When the meeting finally ended, Lyvana felt a wave of relief. She walked out of the room with a wide smile. All the hours she and her team had spent preparing had paid off. The meeting was a total success.
She had been worrying that things might go wrong, but the outcome was better than she had imagined.
Bertha and Sarah had done a fine job. Their research was on point, overall everything was perfect.
Just as she was about to open the studio door, someone suddenly pulled her back. She gasped in shock and fear as she collided with a solid chest. She could feel a hard arm sliding around her waist, pinning her in place.
It was Julian.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice still shaky from the surprise.
Julian didn't release his grip immediately.
