Chapter 5

Jann

It was hard to try and get a person’s attention when said person was so busy talking themselves.

I had been standing by the door, still clutching these papers for the last ten minutes just watching Madison pace around the room, her phone in her hand as she rattled off with the speed of light. Unlike how Emily seemed to operate, Madison seemed like she had everything under control. She was enumerating tasks through her phone so fast, it made me wonder how she could speak so long without needing to take a breath.

Eventually, she finally turned around and I immediately raised my hand, giving it a little wave so she’d know I was trying to catch her attention. She raised her eyebrows and held out one finger, signaling if I could wait a minute, probably, before returning to her phone conversation. She whispered rapidly and then snapped her phone a few seconds later, flashing me a bright smile and offering her hand out to me.

“Hi! You must be Emily’s assistant. She told us you would be stopping by,” Madison greeted nicely. I smiled back and shook her hand before walking towards one of the chairs in the room, placing the documents on my lap as I waited for her to settle in. She crossed her legs and straightened her posture a little.

“Yeah, I’m Jann. Nice to meet you,” I said, introducing myself before getting to business. “I just brought over these documents that I need you and your fiancée to sign so we can continue on with the wedding preparations.”

“Oh, right. I’m sorry, I completely forgot about that,” she cried, shaking her head. I gave her the stack of papers and started flipping through it, her eyes briefly scanning each of the paragraphs before she turned to another page. I sort of wanted to tell her not to skim over it and just read the contracts and documents in its entirety, but I wasn’t sure if she would appreciate me telling her that. She looked like she had everything under control, though, so I wasn’t sure why I was feeling something…off.

“I’ll sign my half of the documents right now, so you can go and hand these off to my fiancé once I’m done, okay?” she said, and I frowned, furrowing my eyebrows.

“I’m sorry, Miss Cromwell, but wouldn’t you rather review the documents with Mr. McCallister?” I asked her. She faltered at this, her eyes going off-focus as a page escaped from her fingers and fell back to the stack. After a couple of seconds, she lowered her hand and turned her eyes at me, her face looking like it was torn between smiling and frowning.

She shook her head minutely before giving me a forced smile. She looked so torn and it was obvious that she was struggling to hold herself together, and judging from how off she acted the moment I brought her fiancé up, whatever she was going through had something to do with him.

I couldn’t help myself.
