By the end of the night, Emily was ready to do anything to make it up to Nathan. The more she thought about it, the more she hated herself for pushing him into such an uncomfortable position. He may be an internationally successful businessman and a major hard-ass as far as most people were concerned, but if anyone knew that he had a soft side, it was her.

And she felt like she’d taken advantage of it. Of him.

Shit! I pushed him too far, and now anything might happen.

Strangely, she wasn’t afraid of how he’d punish her. He could get her fired from her corporate position, kick her out of Eleanor’s House and personally humiliate her. But she wasn’t concerned about that. She was worried about him. Worried sick.

And that was the strangest thing about all this. Since when did she care more about a man whom she barely knew than her livelihood?

She smiled and chatted through the evening, even getting onto the dance floor with some of the older children when the music got cranked up, but inside she was battling the spreading cold and sadness.

Midnight arrived and the music was turned off, the food and drinks were cleared away and the lights went down.

Emily snuck into the office and pulled out the files on the new extension. She was sure she could find Nathan’s address in there somewhere. She had to apologize.

And she couldn’t wait until Monday.

She dug through a pile of paperwork, scanning and flicking through. Finally, she found the piece of paper she was looking for. She made note of the address in her phone and put everything away in its place.

Surely he wouldn’t throw her out if she came to apologize?

Call him maybe? Or message him, but she wanted to make sure he knew how sorry she was, and there was only one way to do that.

She said goodbye to everyone and kissed Cindy goodnight. Meanwhile, her heart was thundering in her chest as she clung to her mobile phone.

When she got into her car she plugged in his address, unsurprised to find he lived only a few streets from his work. Five minutes, max.

She drove there carefully, her hands shaking as she weighed the wisdom of her midnight apology idea. She pulled up outside a tall apartment building, her belly in knots and her mouth suddenly dry as a desert.

Licking her lips, she swallowed hard. It was twelve-thirty. Would he be asleep already? It was a Saturday night so she hoped not.

She stepped out of her car and stepped up to the intercom barring her way into the expensive building.

She bit her lip. What to do now?

She glanced down at her phone. Apartment thirty-two, which may be on level three, or it may be way up the top. Hmmm.

A couple walked around the corner, arm in arm and opened the door with an electronic key.

Brilliant!

Emily smiled at them and followed them inside, trying to appear like she fit in by not looking around too much. It was a beautiful building, though.
