The meeting was pretty much the same except for three aspects. Josh was not present. Beau was also not present. And Julian ruled the meeting like he was the judge in the courthouse. He slashed everyone down with his glare so they were all intimidated by him. Including me. I could see it in their eyes. Pure regret for treating Julian like an incapable underling.

Julian was powerful and confident, unlike the meek and gentle character from a few months back. He ploughed through the presentation, explaining the structure and plans, detailing all aspects of the project so by the end of the presentation, no one had asked him any questions. Everything was clear and concise. In conclusion, everyone came out of the meeting room with renewed respect for him.

I smiled. Oh how the chameleon had changed its color.

After the meeting, I thought our conversation would resume, but I was unceremoniously dumped inside Julian’s office, with him disappearing off somewhere without warning, only telling me he’d be back to pick me up to take me to his apartment.

A chair, desk, laptop, and all the necessary stationary required to run an efficient office was already there when I returned from the meeting.

I sighed and dumped myself on the chair. I turned on the laptop and did some work, going over some documents.

It was approaching five by the time I got my head around the project. And still, Julian hadn’t come back. Unbelievable.

Obviously, I wasn't going to wait for him. I’ll just check myself in at Silverton Hotel and get some food. I’m famished.

I walked outside, and a man dressed in a chauffeur uniform approached me.

“Are you Miss Kimberly Henderson?” he asked, scanning me up and down.

I looked him up and down too, assessing his character for trustworthiness. The man was bald, his stomach slightly pudgy, and he was a good head shorter than me, with a skull tattoo on his wrist. I wondered how he knew me.

“Yes. And you are?”

He didn’t answer my question. Instead, he went on to explain his intention. “I was told by Mr. Julian Devereux to pick you up for dinner.”

Oh, so Julian didn’t forget about me after all.

I immediately slid into the backseat of the limousine, watching as the he took me to who knows where.

We drove for some time, passing the bustling inner city. Finally, he stopped. He opened the door, letting me out to a path filled with flowers in full bloom. We were at the botanical gardens. The sweet fragrance of flowers filled the air.

The driver told me Julian would be waiting in the open gazebo. I followed his instructions, waiting for Julian to show. I sat on one of the seats, admiring the white roses that grew beside me, watching couples with linked arms, walking and smiling at each other. Other couples hid in bushes, kissing and hugging. One couple had their back to me, the man partially obscured in the bush. The woman I couldn’t see.

Looking at those lovely couples, a deep sadness spread through my heart.
