Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 110

It was 6:00 pm. Donovan had finished work earlier than usual and headed straight back to his villa after a few meetings.

Recently, he had been unable to focus on his work. He had postponed all business trips and pushed aside everything except for critical meetings, key clients, and major projects.
