Chapter 111

After Jas had stormed off from the cafe, Ian went through the day robotically, completing his duties without saying much.

Even when Seth and Camilla came over to pester him, he remained emotionless, making Camilla and Seth worry.

"Join us for dinner." Camilla told Seth as they went their separate ways at the elevator.

"Are you worried about him?" Seth asked as glanced at Ian.

The other assistant had a blank look as he stared out into the distance.

"Yeah, he wasn't like this last time." Camilla said with a frown.

"Last time?" Seth asked as the elevator doors opened. 

"I'll tell you later. Come over even before dinner. I'm afraid of leaving Ian alone." Camilla said as she dragged Ian into the CEOs elevator.

"Ian, what's wrong?" Camilla said with a frown as she glanced at her friend. 

"It's nothing." Ian said as he shook his head.

The rest of the elevator ride was silent as Camilla left Ian alone to his thoughts.
