26 Chapter 32: Mother Needs Money

Liana

"I am not ready for this," I mumble to myself when I wake up.

I spent the entire Sunday preparing myself mentally and still, have 'the first day of work jitters'. But I am equally as excited for this new chapter.

I jump out of bed and get ready for the day. I pick out a black pants suit with a white blouse to wear. I roll my eyes when I look at myself in the mirror and reach for the concealer to hide the hickey that Axel left- again!

By the time Drew stops in front of my cottage, I have been ready for half an hour. With confidence- and a stomach full of butterflies- I walk to the car.

"Good morning, Miss," Drew greets me formally as he opens the back door for me, and I bite back my smile.

"Thank you, kind Sir," I wink at him as I get into the car next to Axel.
