Chapter 155

• On that Monday, Carson left early for the office and Maximilien also woke up very early, despite having rested little, so he went down to train. He had decided to stay at home and rest, the past few weeks had been full of work and he needed to take a break. He called Susan, asked her to cancel all his meetings for that day and reschedule them for the next day.
• His few hours of sleep were due to the events of the previous night. First, seeing Roshene arrive from her trip on the verge of tears, and second, the way they had embraced just a few hours ago and what he had felt with that hug. That woman provoked thousands of feelings and emotions in him, and lately, he couldn't get her out of his head. However, there was something else that had been tormenting him for quite some time, and that was how she saw him and how nervous she seemed to get when he was near. The trembling of her body gave her away, and that couldn't be faked. The blush on her cheeks when he looked at her intently couldn't be false either. She had to feel something, he couldn't be mistaken. Was it possible that... she was feeling the same as him? Or was he just going crazy?
• He also couldn't ignore her reaction the last time they kissed. He was aware that it wasn't an impulse like she had told him at the time. On the contrary, he had spent days and nights longing for it, and by the way she responded to that kiss, it seemed like she had also desired it as much as he did. But what if he was hallucinating? Roshene couldn't feel anything, she definitely loved Carson, because if she had given up all the Barclay fortune for nothing, that meant nothing but love.
