Chapter 45: Severing Ties

Diane rang the doorbell once before Christian opened the door for her. "Hey!" she greeted and stepped in but her greeting wasn't reciprocated.

"Do you want anything to drink?" He asked as he closely followed behind her after shutting the door.

That was the least he could do as the one he asked her to come over.

"No, thank you. I don't want to use the bathroom until I return to my apartment." This was Diane laying claim about returning to her condo that night just in case he had plans to keep her till the next morning.

"Suit yourself," he mumbled, stopping by the kitchen before joining her in the living room. He intentionally poured himself a glass of juice before picking up the stack of documents on the seat next to him.

It was then that Diane noticed it. Immediately, her nerves tensed. She was afraid that he had another agreement for her to sign, but she didn't say a word yet.
