It also ain be homeless Tears rushed to her eyes but she blinked them away

There was a knock at the door Before she could get up, she heard the door creak open

“Sylvie?” It was Enzo “Sylvie, are you in here?”

“In the office”

Her empty stomach shivered with nerves What did he want to talk about now? She didn’t knohat to say to change his mind about the sale
