My life my CEO

next to my desk. - Have a good day, Daniel. - I say and head to the elevator, as if I were carrying the world on my shoulders. I enter through the metal doors and press the button for t

ront door opens. Carla appears, as always making my heart race and my breath become short. I never imagined myself falling in love, much less buying a ring... But for her, I know it's worth it. She has the best of me. "Dani," he says and comes over to me, hugging me. "I'm so sorry I disappeared for a few days. So many things happened and..."
