His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER FORTY-TWO - The Things He Didn't Say
Nora arrived at Vincent's office twenty minutes late. "Sorry." Vincent looked up from his laptop. "You?"She dropped her bag onto the chair. "Traffic." He raised an eyebrow. "You've been using that excuse a lot lately.""Because London traffic is personally against me." Vincent laughed. "Fair enough." Nora sat down beside him and pulled out her sketches."Let's work." For the next two hours, everything else disappeared.There were floor plans to adjust, materials to choose, measurements to check and a client who had suddenly decided that the colour scheme they approved last week was no longer good enough.By the time they finished, Nora was exhausted. Vincent closed his laptop."Coffee?" She glanced at the time. "I should probably go home." "One coffee." She hesitated.Then smiled. "Fine." They walked to the café across the street.Nora had barely taken her first sip when her phone buzzed.She looked down. Adrian. She stared at the screen for a moment. Vincent noticed."You should ans
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER FORTY-ONE - Something of Her Own
Nora stood in the middle of the empty space with her hands on her waist, looking around as if she could already see it finished.The walls were still plain. The floor needed work. There were boxes stacked in one corner and an old desk left behind by the previous tenant.But Nora could see beyond all of that. She could see a reception area near the entrance. A small meeting table by the window. Samples of fabrics, colour palettes and sketches arranged neatly along the walls.Her own name on the door. Her own studio. For the first time, it didn't feel like something she was only dreaming about.It felt possible. "You're smiling." Nora turned. Adrian stood at the entrance, one hand in the pocket of his trousers.She frowned slightly. "How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough."She shook her head. "You have a habit of appearing without warning." "I knocked." "You knocked once.""You were busy ignoring me." Nora laughed softly. "I wasn't ignoring you. I was thinking." Adrian wa
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER FORTY - Family Day
Nora stood in front of her mirror, staring at the dress she had chosen.Simple and legant,nothing too formal. She picked up her earrings and put them on.Today was Family Day at Leo's school. She had almost changed her mind twice. Not because she didn't want to go.Because she wasn't sure where she belonged. She wasn't Leo's relative. She wasn't Adrian's wife. She wasn't even his friend.At least, not officially. She was simply Nora. A designer working on a project for Sterling Enterprises.So why did the thought of disappointing Leo make her feel guilty?Her phone buzzed. A message from Adrian. "Are you on your way?" She smiled. "Yes." His reply came almost immediately."Leo has asked me six times." Nora laughed. "Tell him I'm coming." "I will." She put her phone down.Then picked up her bag. "Okay." She was going.---The school grounds were already filled with parents and children when Nora arrived. She spotted Adrian almost immediately.He stood near the entrance with Leo beside h
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE - A Step of Her Own
Nora looked at the folder again. She had taken it home the previous evening. She had looked through it three times.The location was perfect.It had large windows, enough space for a small team, and a quiet reception area that could easily be transformed into the kind of warm, creative environment she had always imagined.There was only one problem. Adrian. She didn't want her first real step toward her dream to feel like something Adrian had built for her.So that morning, she made a decision. She would go and see the place herself. And she would decide for herself.---By ten o'clock, Nora stood outside the building.She looked up. It wasn't huge. It wasn't flashy. But it had potential.She smiled. "Okay." She walked inside.The landlord's representative showed her around, explaining the lease terms and answering her questions.Nora listened carefully. She asked about the service charges,the duration of the lease,renovation permissions,security just everything.By the time she left,
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT - What Was Becoming Familiar
The morning after the gala, Nora woke up with one thought on her mind. Her studio.She sat at her dining table with a cup of tea beside her and opened her notebook.At the top of the page, she had written: MY STUDIO. Underneath it, she had started making a list.Location,budget,equipment,branding,furniture and website. She stared at the list. It was intimidating.But it was hers. Her phone buzzed. A message from Vincent. "Meeting moved to 11 a.m. Don't be late."Nora smiled. She typed back. "I won't." A second message came immediately. "And bring the new presentation."She rolled her eyes. "Bossy." His reply was instant. "Professional." Nora laughed. She closed her notebook and got ready.There was work to do.---By eleven, Nora was at the project site with Vincent. The space was beginning to look completely different from when they had first started.She walked through the rooms, examining the latest installations. "This section needs more light." Vincent looked up from his tablet.
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN - The Sterling Gala
Nora stared at the invitation on her dining table. She had been looking at it for almost five minutes.The Sterling Foundation Charity Gala. She had never attended anything like it. The invitation was elegant, embossed with gold lettering and her name printed neatly across the front.Nora picked it up again. Why had Adrian invited her? She already knew the answer.It was a Sterling event, and she was currently working on one of the company's major projects.Still, something about attending an event filled with London's wealthiest people made her nervous.Her phone rang. Mia. Nora answered."Hello?" "Tell me you're going." Nora laughed. "How did you know?" "Because you sent me a picture of the invitation before you even called."Nora looked at the photo on their chat. "Right." "So?" "I haven't decided." "You're going.""Mia..." "You're going." "Why are you so interested?" "Because I want to see you dressed like somebody's rich fiancée."Nora burst out laughing. "Please!" "I'm serious."
