Damien stood at the doorway, his eyes fixed on Katie and what she wore.

Katie could feel her heartbeat becoming increasingly difficult to control. She had rehearsed this moment in her head several times, yet now that Damien was standing in front of her, every thought of how she would act seemed to disappear.

Damien finally moved. He closed the door behind him before walking toward her, his expression impossible to read. “Katie.”

She lowered her eyes. “Yes?”

His gaze briefly settled on her befor

    [Later That Morning]Damien stepped out of the mansion when he noticed Vivian standing near the driveway, apparently waiting for him.He slowed slightly, his expression becoming guarded. “Vivian?”She smiled and immediately stepped into his path, holding a neatly packed box with both hands. “I wanted to give you something before you leave.”Damien glanced at the box, then at her. “What is it?”“Lunch.”His eyebrows lifted slightly. “Lunch?”“Yes.” Vivian held the box out toward him. “I prepared it myself.”Damien’s expression remained unreadable. “You didn’t have to do that.”“I know.” She smiled. “But I wanted to.”Damien took a step toward his car, clearly intending to end the conversation, but Vivian followed. “Damien, please.”He stopped and looked at her.Vivian carefully opened the lid, revealing several neatly packed dishes inside. “I know you’re busy, and you probably won’t have time to go out for lunch, so I thought this would be useful.”Damien looked at the food for a mome

    [The Next Morning]Morning sunlight slipped through the curtains, spreading softly across the bedroom.Katie woke slowly, her mind taking a few seconds to register where she was. She had fallen asleep beside Damien, and for a moment, the quietness of the room made everything that had happened the previous night feel distant.She turned her head and found Damien still asleep.His usually controlled expression had disappeared completely, replaced by a rare peacefulness that Katie had hardly ever seen. His dark hair was slightly disheveled, and the faint crease between his brows had disappeared.Katie stared at him for several seconds before quickly looking away. Why was she admiring him?She pulled the blanket higher and quietly sat up, determined not to wake him. Before she could reach the bathroom, a soft knock sounded against the door.Katie froze. She quickly adjusted her robe before walking toward the entrance.“Come in.”The housekeeper opened the door slightly and bowed. “Mrs. St

He closed the door behind him before walking toward her, his expression impossible to read. “Katie.”She lowered her eyes. “Yes?”His gaze briefly settled on her before returning to her face. “Why are you dressed like this?”Katie’s fingers tightened together. “I thought…” She hesitated, suddenly embarrassed by the decision she had made only minutes earlier. “I thought it was time we talked about the contract.”Damien stopped in front of her, Katie’s eyes raised to meet Damien’s dark gaze. His eyes searched hers.In a split second, Katie felt a warm sensation around her lips. Damien kissed her…Damien was kissing her?!She was too shocked to react at first bu

    When they finally arrived home, the evening sky had darkened, leaving the mansion surrounded by the soft glow of lights.Damien parked the SUV at the covered entrance before stepping out and walking around to Katie’s side.He opened the door for her, and Katie carefully stepped down, her new Dior heels clicking softly against the floor.She glanced at them again and smiled.“You really like those shoes,” Damien remarked.Katie looked at him. “Maybe.”“That sounds like a yes.” She laughed softly before walking toward the entrance with him. The moment they entered the mansion, one of the maids approached to take Katie’s handbag, but Damien handed it over himself.“I’ll take it upstairs.”Katie looked at him in surprise but said nothing. They eventually reached the staircase, and after exchanging a brief goodnight, Katie continued toward her bedroom while Damien headed toward his study.Once inside her room, Katie closed the door behind her and leaned against it for a moment.She releas

    Katie didn’t wait for Emma to finish speaking.The moment she heard that Damien was waiting downstairs, she picked up her handbag and hurried toward the door, her earlier exhaustion temporarily forgotten.“Mrs. Stark, wait—”“I’m coming.”She opened the office door and nearly collided with Damien, who had just reached the hallway. Damien had one hand in his trouser pocket, his expression calm as usual, but the moment Katie saw him, something inside her softened.Without thinking, she stepped forward and wrapped both arms tightly around his waist.Damien froze. The few nearby employees immediately became very interested in anything other than the two of them.Katie pressed her cheek against his chest, holding him as though she had been waiting all day to see him.Damien slowly lowered his gaze toward her. “Katie?”She didn’t answer immediately. He could feel the tension leaving her body, and after a brief hesitation, he placed one hand gently against her back.“Long day?”Katie nodded

    Katie held Brian’s gaze for a while, and the faint amusement on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a calm expression that made it impossible to tell what she was thinking.“If you’re finished,” she said, closing the file in front of her, “you can leave.”Brian frowned. “Katie, I haven’t finished talking. I came here because I wanted to explain—”“I’m not interested.”Brian stared at her, clearly caught off guard by the bluntness of her response.Katie stood slowly from her chair and walked around the desk, stopping a few feet away from him. “You keep coming here as though you have some unfinished business with me, but I don’t understand what you expect me to do about it.”Brian’s expression tightened. “I want you to listen to me.”“And then what?” Katie asked. “Am I supposed to forgive you? Cry because you finally decided to explain yourself? Or perhaps I should welcome you back into my life because you suddenly realized that you made a mistake?”“That’s not what I’m saying.”
