26. Devil's Advocate
Reece's POV
I spent most of the day giving a tour of my house to Autumn. I tried figuring out why she has been so elated the whole time I was with her, but I gave up when I couldn't.
I settle with the fact that she's putting on a facade and there's an evil agenda against me cooked up somewhere in that head of hers.
After the tour, Autumn went inside her room and hasn't stepped out since. I've been keeping myself busy in my study, drowning in long hours of paperwork.
I spend both weekdays and weekends doing the same thing, which is working without a decent break. It's all I've been doing for the past four years and it has easily become my daily routine.
When I checked the time, it was already to six in the evening. Axel will soon be home. She spent the day with Isadora after school, so she'll arrive home late in the day.
