The stares followed her like heat lamps all the way to HR.

Nobody said anything, of course. But she caught the sidelong glances, the quick whispers the second her heels clicked past.

It didn’t take a genius to know what they were thinking:

Didn’t Sinclair just roast her alive in the boardroom?

Now she’s heading to HR? Is this a walk to collect her severance?

Their eyes burned into her back until she reached the frosted-glass doors.

Great. Perfect. If this were a Korean drama, there would be dramatic background music right now.

Instead, Isabella got the receptionist’s raised brows as she slid the new contract across the desk like it was a loaded gun.

“Chairman Sinclair has… appointed you as his personal secretary?” the HR rep asked, her tone carefully neutral. The kind of neutral that actually meant: Are you sure you didn’t hallucinate that?

“Yes,” Isabella said, smiling politely. “Apparently.”

The woman blinked. Then printed out a stack of papers, still giving Isabella that how are yo

  • Accidental Night with the Boss   Chapter 45: Sleeping arrangements

    Silence between them stretched thin, trembling like glass.Neither spoke. The echo of his last words — “you make it impossible to be fair” — still hung in the air.Isabella was choked by the look in his eyes. She wanted to lay everything bare then. The drunken mistake, her spike of jealousy, her conflicted emotions.She needed someone to talk to about the slow but sure down spiral she was going through.Once upon a time that someone would have been Chloe Dubois.Isabella’s phone rang.The sharp chime shattered the tension.She startled. Vincent’s gaze flicked to the glowing screen in her hand.Daniel.Her throat tightened. She pushed him aside, turned her back to him, and pressed accept.“Daniel?”Her brother’s voice was calm — strange...“Sis, hey… how are you?”“…I’m fine. Why are you calling? Did something happen to Elena?” She didn’t know what she'd do if that were the case. She was a trans atlantic flight away.Daniel chuckled softly, the sound strained. “Just wanted to check o

  • Accidental Night with the Boss   Chapter 44: Impossible to be Fair

    The door slammed so hard that the chandelier trembled.Isabella stomped into the suite, her shoes striking the marble like a declaration of war.Vincent didn’t even flinch. He was unbuttoning his cufflinks, cool as ever, his posture relaxed — as if the past three hours hadn’t been a public execution of her dignity.“Miss Rossi,” he drawled without looking up, “you’re acting highly unprofessional right now.”She stopped mid-step, her breath uneven.“I only asked you to carry a few bags, and you’ve not looked at me properly ever since.”She spun around.A few bags?Her fingers curled into her palms.A few bags from luxury stores across three districts, while he’d watched Anna twirl in front of mirrors, laughing like a schoolgirl. And Isabella had stood there —smiling through her conflicted feelings.Her chest tightened. A thousand sharp words crowded behind her teeth—all the insults she’d swallowed since morning—but she bit down hard on her lip until she tasted blood.Her voice, when i

  • Accidental Night with the Boss   Chapter 43: Adulterous Couple

    The Dubois and Grant families sitting together looked nothing like a happy union. It looked like a deal being negotiated.Clarisse Dubois sat upright on the edge of the sofa, pearls gleaming, her sharp nose tilted just enough to make it clear she didn’t approve of anything in this room — least of all the Grants’ gaudy chandelier and fake laughter.Zachary’s mother, Helena Grant, could not stop smiling. “Mrs. Dubois, it’s such an honor to have you in our home! Chloe’s been such a blessing to Zachary, we can’t thank you enough—”Clarisse only hummed, lifting her teacup without drinking from it. “Yes, I’m sure.” Her eyes flicked to Zachary. “Your son is in the entertainment business, yes?”Helena nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes, he’s helping his father with the company! Our Grant Studios manages several successful talents. Chloe has even dhown interest in the business too.”Clarisse’s lips curved. “How interesting. My daughter already has a business waiting for her. I suppose one needs somethi

    Vincent could feel Anna’s hand curled against his sleeve, light as silk. He’d heard her laugh just now — soft, charming, the same laugh she’d had when they were teenagers chasing each other through gardens their parents owned.“I can’t believe you,” Anna teased, tilting her face up to him. “Needing your secretary to feed you in the hospital. Vincent Sinclair, helpless. How emasculating.”Her laugh lingered between them, bright and amused.Vincent’s mouth curved faintly. “I was teaching her a lesson.”Anna’s eyes warmed, as though she understood something he hadn’t said out loud. “It’s been a long time,” she murmured. “I missed you.”The words hung in the air. He didn’t move, didn’t respond — but they pressed against him like the weight of memory.She leaned closer. “Your Miss Rossi, though… she’s a little silly. Chaotic.” Anna’s lips quirked. “But she has spirit. I can see why you keep her.”Vincent’s gaze flicked, just for a second, to the reflection in the boutique glass. Isabella t

  • Accidental Night with the Boss   Chapter 41: Shopping with the Perfect Woman

    Isabella could not believe it.She never thought the day would come where she pitied another woman for dating Vincent Sinclair. But here she was—tailing after him, Anna de Vries, and Julian through the gleaming glass halls of one of Paris’s most expensive malls. Hoodie, sneakers, messy ponytail. She looked like a misplaced intern trailing magazine models for the latest issue of Money Marries Money.And her chest felt tight in the worst way.Out of all the scenarios she’d imagined when she woke up this morning, this was not on the list.Vincent had been discharged that afternoon. No drama, no fuss — just him climbing out of a hospital bed like he hadn’t been sweating bullets a few hours ago. The only evidence was the pale cast to his skin and the IV mark on his arm. But instead of going back to the hotel to rest like any normal human being, here he was. On a strolling date. With Miss Anna.And with them.Anna’s arm was tucked neatly into Vincent’s, her heels clicking on the marble

  • Accidental Night with the Boss   Chapter 50: Feed Me

    “Thank you again, really!” Isabella said in a rush, half-bowing with the sleek black food box hugged tight to her chest. “I owe you, like, five coffees. Or maybe a date if you weren't already engaged.” She laughed awkwardly.Anna de Vries gave a polite, knowing smile, bouquet of lilies balanced in her hand. “There's really no need. You’re very welcome.”They stood just outside the hospital entrance. People swept past them, coats and scarves, some giving odd glances at the mismatched pair: Anna elegant in cream silk of the latest season and Isabella swallowed by a hoodie and jeans.Isabella shuffled backwards toward the hospital doors, tripping slightly on the curb in her hurry. “Okaybye!” she squeaked, then darted through the glass entrance like someone had set her backside on fire.Anna lingered for a moment, heels clicking softly against the pavement. Her eyes followed Isabella’s retreating figure, lips curving faintly. Then she shook her head, adjusting her grip on the lilies, and
