He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 269: Success Put More on My Calender
Claire was waiting at my desk Monday morning with a stack of requests that had clearly arrived over the weekend, the approval apparently having traveled further and faster than I'd expected. "Readiness review scheduling, a partner briefing request, an invitation to speak at a public sector event next month, and two calls from other regional organizations asking about the model." She set them down in a neat row. "People want to talk to you specifically."I went through them properly, not reaching automatically for every invitation the way I might have a few months earlier. "The partnership conversation with the second organization, send that to Grace. She's better positioned to speak to their operational questions than I am.""And the public sector event?""Decline it. It doesn't materially help the launch, and I'd rather spend that day on the actual pilot preparation." I flipped through the remaining requests. "The budget follow-up from the smaller foundation, that's within your autho

"Read the whole thing," Damien said, watching my face, "not just the first sentence."I scrolled down properly, my eyes catching up with what my brain had only half absorbed. "They accepted it. The full phased rollout, information sessions, the earlier operations hire, the limited pilot before public launch. All of it."Damien took the phone from my hand before I could reread it a third time, setting it firmly on the nightstand out of reach. "Our protected morning is still in effect. Good news doesn't count as an exception.""That seems like a technicality.""It's a rule we agreed to less than twelve hours ago." He pulled me into a kiss instead of continuing the argument, thorough and celebratory, and I laughed against his mouth when he finally let me breathe."This deserves a proper celebration.""It's getting one. Later." He kissed my forehead this time, something proud and warm settling into his expression. "You refused to let the threat of losing funding push you into opening some

By the time the week finally ended, I found Damien already home when I walked through the door, and before I'd gotten past the second sentence of describing my day, he'd crouched down and started loosening my shoes without asking, pulling them off one at a time while I stood there mid-sentence, entirely derailed. "You're not even listening.""I'm listening. I'm also freeing your feet. Both things can happen simultaneously." He straightened and pulled me against him, kissing me until whatever remained of my sentence dissolved entirely, and I noticed, pulling back, the particular exhaustion sitting behind his eyes that matched my own."You look tired too.""I am tired. Thoroughly." He let me lead him toward the sofa this time, and I pulled his tie loose the way he usually did for me, working the knot free while he watched with something warm and grateful in his expression.We ended up tangled together with the last of yesterday's leftovers, both of us too exhausted to bother with anythi
He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy Chapter 266: He Ignored His Phone for Me
"Are you sure it can wait," I asked, glancing once toward the phone still lying face down on the counter, some small guilt already starting to prick at me despite his obvious decision."It matters," Damien said, honest rather than dismissive, pulling me back against him properly. "It doesn't have to matter tonight.""That seems like a fine distinction.""It's an important one." He kissed my forehead, unhurried, entirely unwilling to let the conversation continue any further in that direction. "You don't need to rescue me from a boundary I set on purpose.""I wasn't trying to rescue you.""You were absolutely trying to rescue me," he said, and kissed me properly before I could argue further, effectively ending any remaining protest I might have offered."You're using kisses to end conversations," I said, once he'd pulled back far enough for me to speak again."It's proven remarkably effective so far.""That doesn't make it fair.""It doesn't need to be fair. It only needs to work," he

I made it back to the regional site with just enough time to finish the pieces of the revised proposal that genuinely needed my attention, leaving the rest of the budget preparation squarely in Claire's hands. She glanced at me twice while I gathered my things, checking the clock on the wall a third time before I'd even finished packing my bag."You keep looking at the time," Claire said."I have somewhere to be.""You never have somewhere to be. You usually stay until the office empties around you." She said it without any real accusation, more curious than critical, and I felt a small, private satisfaction at being able to answer her honestly."Tonight's different.""Clearly." She waved me off with the particular ease of someone entirely capable of handling what remained without me hovering over her shoulder. "Go. I've got the rest of this."I left when I said I would, no last-minute crisis pulling me back through the door, no email demanding one more response before I could reasona

I stepped away from Claire and called him immediately, my thumb hovering over his name for only a second before pressing it. He answered on the second ring, his voice composed, occupied but not cold, the particular tone of a man mid-conversation with someone else in the room."I forgot," I said, before he could say anything at all. "Damien, I completely forgot about lunch. I'm so sorry.""I gathered as much," he said, dry humor threading through it despite everything. "The restaurant began clearing our table around one thirty, which felt like a reasonably clear signal.""I should have called earlier.""You should have," he agreed, no bite in it, simply plain acknowledgment. "The regional problem sounded important, though, from what little you managed to tell me this morning. We can have lunch another time."His reasonableness made everything worse somehow, the easy forgiveness sitting uncomfortably against something quieter underneath it that I could hear even through the phone. "Are
