Chapter 154 - Do you feel anything for me?
"Angel, there are some things I need to take care of in New Orleans, and I don’t know when I will be back," Alex said seriously, leaving Joanna feeling empty. She had grown accustomed to sharing a bed with him and was comfortable with it, but now he was leaving for an indefinite period.
"What exactly are you going to take care of?" Joanna asked before realizing that she shouldn’t question him. The fact that he was kind enough to inform her should be sufficient.
"I can’t tell you the details," Alex said seriously, looking away as it involved Salvador’s men. Things were deteriorating by the day, and he needed to be there in person.
"Fine," Joanna said but did not say anything more. Alex knew she was upset but did not press her about it.
When they reached home, she even skipped dinner as the news had dampened her mood. They had only three months left to end the contract, but Alex was beginning to think that things had spiraled out of control.
"Angel, why are you upset?" He asked when they reached the bedroom. Usually, Joanna would be the one to shower first, so he waited for her to come out, but she did not respond to his question.
"Does it matter why I’m upset?" She asked in annoyance. Alex excused himself to go shower, and by the time he was done, she was already in her pajamas.
Ever since they started sharing a bed, she refrained from wearing anything revealing, and the pajamas covered her quite well.
"Let me shower first," Alex said and left, leaving Joanna greatly disturbed, knowing her emotions were spiraling out of control.
