Chapter 554. Pretty Bad
Mauve sat closer to Jael’s desk than she needed to but this was the only way she could get any work done without feeling uncomfortable.
His chair was lower than she had expected but she didn’t always notice as he would usually have her sit on him.
Her head felt a little heavy and she knew she should stop but she had already started and she didn’t want the night to end like the night before.
It was almost time for the second meal which meant any minute from now. Jael will burst through the door.
She leaned back onto the seat as she thought about her life. At this point, the only reason she was trying to see this through was stubbornness.
She touched her forehead, maybe she should let Jael toss them out as she hadn’t learned anything new.
To top it all, taking a break had made her realize just how badly her head was hurting.
It wasn’t bad enough to be concerned but she knew if she pushed this, she might regret it later.
Her eyes glanced at the door at the sound of it opening. Jael walked in and his frown was the first thing she noticed even though he was still a couple of feet away and the room was dark but the instant his eyes rested on her, he could tell he was frowning.
"Are you okay?" He asked, walking closer.
Mauve shrugged and forced herself to sit up. "Maybe, I am more tired than I want to admit."
