Episode 3
???Three days later???
Greta was working late again. Not because she wants to, but because her impossible boss was making her.
He has always been cold and demanding before but these past three days were worse. Greta doesn’t want to loose her job or she would have quit a long time ago.
This work is one she enjoys doing and she has married herself to it. Since she can’t have a personal life, she married her work and loves her marriage. She can’t loose it.
It’s 9pm in the night when she was finally done. She and her boss are the only soul remaining in the whole building. She packed her things, ready to leave.
“It’s late, I’ll take you home, Miss Danes.” He said curtly, his jacket removed and hanging loosely in his arm.
Greta’s heart fluttered. She composed herself. “No, thank you, sir. But I can’t burden you—”
“It’s no burden. I can’t bear it on my conscience if you get hurt on the road, I want to personally see to it that you get to your destination.” He was already walking out, leaving her to follow.
Greta took a deep breath in resignation and followed him out. She wondered which conscience he was talking about. The whole world knows that Gregor Williams doesn’t have a conscience.
Too bad her frozen heart don’t seem to think it’s a big deal.
But even if the heart is willing, what about the body?
