Chapter 125: Take a Break

Carter sat at his laptop in his office, going over emails while Ariana slept. She had passed out shortly after he had cuddled with her and given her the aftercare that she needed. He sighed as he tapped his fingers on the top of his desk, staring at the hordes of emails and notifications about what had happened.

Most of the emails were from companies wanting to sign back on with them now that he was single and no longer seeing his administrator. It made his stomach sick that the world worked that way, but he swallowed it down and took it. He cleared his throat and brought his glass of water to his lips, taking a drink as he read through each one.

His phone went off and he picked it up to blink at the screen. He was confused as to why Adalee would be calling him at midnight. Carter set his glass down and answered his phone.

"Carter Anderson." His voice came out deep and professional as he leaned back in his chair.
