He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 262: I Had To Break My Own Promise
I called the meeting for that afternoon, all four of them gathered around the small conference table at the regional site, and started without softening anything first. "There are two separate problems here," I said. "The partner's announcement needs to come down immediately, with a public correction that takes responsibility rather than blaming anyone who believed it. And New Ground's own approved launch date has to move as well, because this team isn't ready, and I committed to that timeline before I'd confirmed it was actually safe to promise."The partner's expression shifted immediately, some defensive edge rising before I'd even finished speaking. "Pulling the announcement now looks worse than leaving it up," he said. "We've generated real attention. If we retract it entirely, people will assume something's wrong internally, and the next time we announce anything, they won't believe us.""Something is wrong internally," Grace said, not unkindly, but without hesitation either. "T

Grace met us at the door before we'd even parked properly, no time wasted on pleasantries, gesturing us inside with the particular urgency of someone in the middle of something she couldn't pause for our arrival. The office phone rang twice before we'd crossed the threshold, one of her staff members answering with visible strain in her voice, trying to explain gently to whoever was on the line that registration hadn't actually opened yet despite what they'd seen online."That's the fourth call this morning," Grace said, leading us further inside. "We've had two people come in physically as well. One woman brought her daughter's paperwork already filled out, ready to submit, because she genuinely believed we were opening today."I watched Grace handle the woman herself a few minutes later, patient and honest, explaining clearly that the announcement hadn't come from New Ground and that she couldn't yet promise a firm date, while still treating the woman's disappointment with visible ca
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 260: Claire Wasn’t Calling to Congratulate Me
I arrived at New Ground still carrying the toast Damien had made me promise to finish, one bite gone from it despite my best intentions, and set it down on my desk while Claire waited by the door with a laptop already open. My phone buzzed before I'd fully sat down, Damien's message brief and predictable, asking whether I'd actually eaten breakfast the way I'd promised. I snapped a quick photo of the toast's ruined remains and sent it back without comment, then set the phone aside properly and turned my full attention toward Claire."Show me," I said.She turned the laptop around, and I found myself staring at a promotional post from our first regional partner organisation, professionally designed, publicly shared, already gathering comments and shares from people in the community. It announced New Ground's launch with a specific date, weeks earlier than our internal timeline, and promised places for interested participants starting immediately."They posted this themselves," Claire s
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 259: We Were Late the Next Morning
Somewhere across the room, a phone buzzed insistently against the nightstand, and I surfaced slowly from sleep with the distinct sense that something important was being ignored. I reached blindly toward the sound and found nothing, the phone apparently having migrated during the night, and squinted at the clock instead, my brain taking several long seconds to register what it was actually telling me."Damien." I sat up properly, the tangled sheets falling away, and shook his shoulder with more urgency than the gentle wake-up I'd originally intended. "Damien, it's nearly eight."He groaned into the pillow, one arm still draped over my waist, apparently in no hurry to acknowledge the crisis unfolding around us. "That seems unlikely.""I have an early session at New Ground.""I have a meeting with the board." He finally lifted his head, blinking at the clock with the particular betrayed expression of a man who genuinely believed time had personally wronged him. "How did we sleep through
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 258: Apparently My Husband Liked Being Mine
I filed that reaction away carefully, watching the way his composure had briefly slipped at those two small words, and decided immediately that this was information worth testing further. "Mine," I said again, mostly to confirm what I'd already noticed, and felt the satisfaction of watching him go still all over again, his jaw tightening in a way that gave him away completely."You're doing that on purpose now.""I'm confirming a theory.""You're conducting an experiment at my expense." He tried to sound accusatory, but the effect was undermined considerably by how his hands had settled more firmly at my waist, no real complaint behind the words at all."Consider it thorough research," I said, reaching for his loosened tie and using it to draw him closer, watching his eyes track the movement with obvious interest. "You spent the entire evening enjoying yourself at my expense. I'm allowed a much shorter study.""That seems like an unfair comparison.""It seems like exactly the right co
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 257: I Didn’t Need the Reassurance
"I know," I said, before he could continue, reaching for the second cufflink still caught between his fingers. "I never thought there was."He paused, clearly having braced for something else entirely, some reassurance he'd clearly rehearsed on the way home now sitting unused between us. I took the cufflink from him gently and set it on the nightstand beside its match, then let my hand rest against the arm Victoria had touched hours earlier, my fingers tracing lightly along his forearm."Then what was it," Damien asked, watching me with genuine curiosity now instead of amusement, his earlier teasing fully set aside."I looked at her hand on you and thought she should move it." I said it plainly, no elaboration attached, the whole shape of the feeling simple enough that dressing it up further would have only made it less true. "That was the entire problem.""You weren't worried.""No." I shook my head slightly, my hand still resting against his arm. "I wasn't afraid of anything. I was
