Her phone displayed the name, and she was enraged.

Nathaniel Harper.

She breathed in deeply and pressed the answer button, leaving it on speaker.

"Aha, Princess," Nathaniel's voice was peppered with wit, silky smooth as good whiskey aged to perfection. "Second thoughts on your so-called victory?"

Eliana's face was white. "Harper, please. I haven't got time for this."

Nathaniel's smile broadened. "Oh, but where's the excitement in that? You're so eager to add me to your naughty list whenever you get a chance, and here I am, extending to you an offer Eliana."

Saben roared with laughter. "An out? You're kidding me, Harper."

Nathaniel ignored him entirely, all of his focus locked on Eliana. "Business as usual, Princess. Congrats today. I'll tell you, you're to be commended on that I wasn't so ready for how merciless you are."

Eliana's fingers clenched into a fist in her hand. "Keep underestimating me, and I'll watch your company fold before you can say 'game over'."

A whisper. Then a low,

    The soft amber light of the restaurant's ambiance danced around them, casting quiet shadows upon their table. The distant humming of hushed tones by other diners mixed with the ring of silverware, but to Saben and Clarisse, it was far away. It was only the two of them, in that instant, managing the tricky ground between the past and what they were hoping could be a fresh start.Saben had not seen this coming. In fact, when Clarisse had first approached him, so intent, so fragile, he had not known what to think. It had been years since they had parted company, each one of them harboring his or her own reasons, his or her own unspoken hurts. And yet, now that they were sitting across from one another, it was different. The atmosphere between them, though thick, was no longer oppressive. There was a change, a change that seemed as though it might be the start of something different. Clarisse leaned back in her chair, a quiet sigh breathed out on her lips as she looked at him. "I never t

    Days went by, and the office picked up the same old rhythm. Jenny and Saben, even being in close proximity, barely exchanged words beyond the requisite conversation about business. The frosty coldness between them was not hard to detect, and although Jenny had braced herself for it, it still hurt.This was her new life.She was keeping herself at arm's length, just as she had told herself she would. She wouldn't let herself fall into something she wasn't prepared for. Not now. Not with him.With the passage of time, she attempted to redirect her attention to her job, immersing herself in work that kept her occupied and her thoughts afloat. There was not much space left for anything else.But Saben was still there. Even when they weren't talking, she felt him hovering in the space between them. It was impossible to avoid.It was a Friday afternoon that she saw him again in the hallway, coming down the corridor with a sure, business-like gait. For an instant, she stopped moving. She had

    Jenny sat at her desk, the drone of the office surrounding her almost comforting in its repetition. The figures on her screen ran together, the staccato clicks of keyboards and hum of voices from around the office a dull ambient noise to the tempest in her head.She wasn't prepared for this. For him. For any of it.She had vowed to herself that she would concentrate she would keep going, keep working. But whenever she attempted to focus, the face of Saben, of his thoughtful eyes, would creep into her mind. She had never allowed personal emotions to stand in the way of her work, but this..this was different. Saben was not merely a co-worker. He was not merely a businessman she had encountered at an event. He was a problem she didn't know how to solve, and every time she attempted to, it seemed the knot grew tighter.Her phone vibrated, breaking her out of her reverie. She glanced down at the screen to see a text from Zina.Just checking in. How's everything going? You good?Jenny's fin

    The next day, Saben's office was just as disorganized as usual, the ring of telephones, the ongoing hum of the air conditioner, and the steady click of keyboards dominating the area. He sat amidst stacks of paperwork at his desk but his thoughts were far elsewhere—on Jenny, on Clarisse, and the decision he had to make.No matter how hard he tried to concentrate on the spreadsheets before him, his mind reverted to last night's conversation. Eliana's voice echoed in his head: You have to make the decision now, Saben.Saben was not one to avoid making choices. Quite the opposite, actually. He took pride in himself for being able to take control and make decisions with confidence. But when it came to love, things were different. He was lost, like he was torn between two worlds—one that pulled him back into his comfort zone, and one that invited him into a future with Jenny, a girl who made him feel alive in ways he never thought possible.He rubbed his eyes, attempting to clear the though

    Saben remained there in the silence of his office, the sound of Jenny's footsteps echoing away down the corridor. The words her refusal hung in the air like a chill. He gazed at the spot where she had been standing only seconds before, his chest constricting with a combination of anger and sorrow.Not ready.It was the words that rang in his head, echoing along with each heartbeat in his chest. He had wished, hoped even, that perhaps maybe Jenny would have loved him as much as he loved her. But now, it seemed as though a wall had been erected between them, and she wasn't willing to bring it down.He took a hand through his hair, his eyes drifting toward the window, though he didn't notice the view. His mind was full of the burden of his own wants and terrors. Jenny was the only person that had ever made him feel as if he could be more than businessman, son, brother. She had brought out in him something genuine. She was just not willing to make the same leap.Was it because of him?The

    Saben rose from his chair, having a sudden urge to bridge the gap that separated them, but he restrained himself. What was he supposed to say to make this any better? He was the one who had made the mess, and now it was his turn to clean it."I don't want to hurt you," he told her, his voice full of sincerity. "I never wanted to hurt you, Jenny. But I realize now that I've been selfish. I've been trying to do too much, and I've let you become part of the whirlwind in my life."Jenny gazed at him with a blend of sorrow and resignation. "You don't have to apologize anymore. The thing is, I knew what I was doing when I began this. with you, with work, with all of it. But now, I just have to concentrate on moving on. Not because of you, but because of myself. I'm not ready to be involved with something that's still undecided."There it was. The truth. She was not going to wait around for him to come to a decision. And perhaps that was the wake-up call he needed. He could not continue this
