Howard didn't expect Hilary to come to the office late at night. The latter mentioned she would stay overnight at their cousin's penthouse, Veranice Davies Wilson, for a Runway project.
"Hey, come here…." He forced a gentle smile and extended his arm, gesturing to Hilary to walk toward him.
Hilary strolled with a worried face as she kept glancing at the mess on the floor.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Do not worry. I will call the cleaner later." Howard's voice was comforting, so Hilary forced a small smile. But the fear in her eyes didn't hide from him; thus, he continued to coax her. "It's just a minor problem I have regarding some contracts. Not a big deal at all."
'Not a big deal?' she thought. But a part of her believed it was something more.
"Brother…" Hilary couldn't help but suspect that Howard actually had a big problem. He would not lose his temper like this if the matter were just minor.
