Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Like a Clown 

When we arrived at the new office, Glenn and the others were buzzing with excitement. 

“Wow, this place is amazing! Sure, the furniture’s a bit old, but it can be renovated,” one of them exclaimed. 

Since they were all in design, everyone had some expectations for the office décor. Besides setting up their own workspaces, the young crew started sketching ideas to spruce up the office. 

I waved my hand dismissively. “No more than a hundred thousand for the renovations. The company will cover it, but I really can’t afford any more than that.”

After saying goodbye to my colleagues, Zack drove me back to Harmon Group. It had only been a few hours since 1 left, but I suddenly felt a bit disoriented, as it something had changed. 

When I walked into the conference room, everyone looked at me in surprise. 

Leonard immediately stood up. “You’re back so soon? I was just about to go pick you up.” 

I ignored him and sat down next to Emma 

“What do you need me to fill out?
