A year later, the only five-star hotel in Kevern was hosting a prestigious event. After setting up the water and stationery for the meeting, I leaned against the wall, taking shallow breaths. I had never fully recovered from the surgery. After escaping to Kevern with my father, I had spent the year on the run, settling in this small town far from the bustling cities. The salary wasn't excellent, but it was just enough to get by.
Cecilia had only given me $70000, which wasn't nearly enough to cover his debts. Plus, she had blacklisted me, so no company in Hensford would hire me.
"Sharon, there's a signing ceremony later. You'll be in charge of serving coffee to the guests."
"Okay." I had just finished preparing the coffee when I saw Jace walk into the hall, surrounded by an entourage."
I never imagined we would meet again in this kind of setting. My heart pounded, my breath caught in my throat. I quickly turned my back, gripping the edge of the table tightly. "Yancy, could you please take the coffee for me?"
"No way! The manager specifically picked you because you're pretty. If I go, I'll scare the guests away."
