Chapter 216: Milk On A Thursday
Call it a pavlovian response, or whatever you wanted. Emily would not have minded either way. The truth was, she and Derek had been sleeping together for a few months now. And thanks to that, every time that Thursday came around, she instantly perked up.
It did not matter what she was going through. Or how difficult Monday to Wednesday had been. As soon as Thursday was so much as mentioned, Emily’s mood picked up instantly.
That was currently the case.
It was Thursday, and Emily had woken up with a song in her heart. She danced as she got ready for work, her steps light. Humming a tune under her breath as she brushed her teeth. And by the time that she was done. Emily was certain that if she had been in one of those cartoon movies which all seemed to have magical princesses. She would have been belting out a few tunes and even throwing some sparkles in the air as she moved. But since she was not some magical fairy princess in a cartoon for kids. Emily simply settled for blowing her reflection a kiss.
In the living room on her way out. She happened to run into her mother, and Emily was instantly on the woman. Giving her a long hug, and then kissing her firmly on the cheek.
"Love you, mom. Bye!" Emily said goodbye to her mother, and just like that she was finally on her way to Haven Group.
She hummed as she walked, a bounce in her step, and every now and then. Emily gave into temptation and actually skipped, earning herself a few looks from the people around her, but she was unbothered. By the time that she got to Haven Group headquarters. Her good mood had not dampened at all.
In fact, when she finally reached her office and found Derek already there. Her happiness went up a few notches.
"Good morning, Derek," She said.
