I couldn't believe something like this could happen, especially after I had just convinced Grandfather about my fake wedding to keep my position. Now, he would be suspicious.Then I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to meet Carly at the boutique. Since I had something urgent to deal with, I had no other choice but to text her to try on her bridal dress without me.After sending the message, I dropped the phone on the table and held my temples with my hands.

Carly's POV I stared at my phone screen grudgingly, resentment flaring within me. Why did Steven think he could just call and order me around without even asking if I was available? His bossy attitude was infuriating.He called, but without giving me a chance to speak he hung up the phone.Who did he think he was?I gripped my phone tightly, my lips pressed together as I struggled to contain the raw anger growing in me. His demeanor was really getting on my nerves and I couldn't help but wonder why I had agreed to this deal with him without finding out who he was.I opened the message box and saw the address he had sent.

I still had a mountain of work to finish, and the weight of it was crushing me.I stretched my neck and my arching wrist, and Just as I was about to delve back into the chaos, a knock at the door broke the silence. “Come in," I muttered, not bothering to look up.The door creaked open, and footsteps echoed through the room, drawing closer to me. I raised my head to see who it was, and my eyes met with my secretary's, whose eyes were barely opened. He seemed so tired and overwhelmed, like he was on the verge of collapse.“So, have you found the perfect place for wedding attire?" I asked, my eyes narrowing at him incredulously.

A kiss from me?The thought sent a chill through my entire body, and for a moment, I considered giving in to my desires. And trust me, if I decided go with what was in my head.
