His hidden heiress Chapter 15: A Lunch No One Else Was Allowed To See
The car ride was smooth.Quiet.Not the uncomfortable kindjust the kind where both people were aware of each other, but neither felt the need to fill the silence.She sat by the window, her gaze drifting over the passing streets.Kael sat opposite her, relaxed, one arm resting casually, his expression unreadable as always.To anyone else, he would look distant.Cold.Unapproachable.But todayThere was something different.His attention kept shifting back to her.Like he was still trying to figure her out.The car slowed to a stop.One of the bodyguards stepped out immediately, opening the door.She stepped out first, her heels touching the ground softly.Then she looked up.The restaurant stood quietly ahead.Elegant.Expensive.The kind of place people only saw in pictures.She glanced at him.“You’re serious?” she said.He didn’t answer.Just started walking.Of course.Inside, it was even more… controlled.No noise.No crowd.No distraction.Just calm music playing softly in the b

“Excuse me.”She had just taken a few steps when his voice stopped her again.She turned.Kael was looking at her closely now, like he was trying to solve something.“Do I know you from somewhere?” he asked. “You look familiar.”She paused.Then a small smile appeared.“Oh… yeah,” she said lightly. “We met before.”His brows pulled together. “When?”“Early last year.”He thought for a second.ThenHis eyes widened slightly.“The airport?”She nodded.A little amused now.“Oh,” he let out a short breath, almost like a laugh. “So you’re the lady that bumped into me… and was kind of rude.”Her smile widened.“Kind of?” she repeated. “I remember you being more dramatic than that.”He actually laughed this time.That surprised even him.“Wow,” he said, shaking his head slightly. “I didn’t expect this.”“Same,” she replied. “I didn’t know you were… this big.”He raised a brow. “This big?”“You know,” she said casually, gesturing slightly, “the bodyguards, the serious face, the whole ‘don’t

The airport.That was it.Her eyes stayed on him for a second longer than necessary.Not just a glance.Not just curiosity.Something deeper.Something that lingered a little too long.It’s him.The same man.The one she bumped into.The one with the bodyguards.The one she didn’t care aboutOr thought she didn’t.Yes… It’s him.For a brief moment, everything around her faded.Not slowly.Not gently.It justStopped.The room.The meeting.The voices.All gone.Like someone had pressed pause on the world.Just that memory.Clear.Sharp.Unavoidable.ThenShe blinked.Once.Twice.And pulled herself back.Focus.She couldn’t afford distractions.Not now.Not here.Not in a room like this.She looked away like nothing had happened and continued.“As I was saying,” she went on smoothly, her voice steady, “this structure allows flexibility without losing control.”No hesitation.No crack.Nothing to give her away.No one noticed.No one questioned it.Everything remained exactly as it sho
His hidden heiress Chapter 12: The Question That Changed Everything
The room slowly filled up. One after the other, representatives from different companies walked in, taking their seats. Voices were low. Controlled. Professional. Then, The door opened again. She didn’t look up immediately. She was already going through her notes, calm as ever. But across the room Someone noticed her. Kael stepped in, his eyes landing on her almost instantly. He stopped for just a second. Something about her felt… Familiar. He couldn’t place it yet. But he didn’t look away. Not immediately Then he took his seat. Quiet. Observing. “Let’s begin.” Her voice cut clean through the room. Everyone settled. Attention shifted fully to her. She stood up, walking toward the screen behind her Confident. Steady Untouchable. “This partnership isn’t just about expansion,” she started. “It’s about positioning.” The screen lit up. Charts. Figures. Clear direction. “You already have influence,” she continued. “What you don’t have is speed. And right n
His hidden heiress Chapter 11: A Name That Felt Familiar
The next morning started early.As usual.By the time she walked into her office, everything was already arranged neatly on her desk.Files. Reports. A full list of partner companies.Everything in place.Exactly how she liked it.Her assistant stood beside the table, posture straight, tablet in hand.“These are all the companies confirmed for the collaboration,” she said.She nodded once and picked up the file.No rush.Just focus.Her eyes moved from one name to another.Careful.Detailed.Nothing escaped her.Each company.Each background.Each potential risk.She didn’t skim.She never did.Thenshe paused.Just for a second.Hawthorne Group.Her brows pulled together slightly.That name…It felt familiar.Very familiar.Her fingers stilled on the page as she looked at it again.Quiet.Thinking.A faint memory brushed the edge of her mind, but didn’t fully form.“I know this name from somewhere…” she said under her breath.Her assistant looked up quickly. “Do you want me to check

The call came in just as she stepped into her office. Her assistant didn’t even bother knocking twice. “They’ve called for a second meeting,” she said, slightly out of breath. “They want to continue the discussion.” She paused for a second. That was fast. Too fast for hesitation. “Set it up,” she said, already dropping her bag on the desk. “Now.” Minutes later, she was back in the conference room. Same faces. Same table. But the atmosphere had changed. Earlier, they had been watching her. Now They were ready to talk. She took her seat without a word, placing her tablet down. “So,” one of them began, folding his hands, “we’ve reviewed your proposal again.” She didn’t interrupt. Didn’t rush them. She just waited. “We’re interested,” another added. A small pause. Then “We want to move forward.” Silence settled for a brief second. Not because she was surprised. But because she was calculating. “On what terms?” she asked calmly. Straight to the point. One of the
