But because neither of them seemed in a hurry to leave.

The conversation had shifted now.

Less teasing.

More… intentional.

Kael leaned back slightly, his fingers resting against the table as he watched her.

“You handle business like you’ve been doing it for years,” he said.

She didn’t look surprised.

“I learn fast.”

“That’s not just learning,” he replied. “That’s experience.”

She picked up her glass, takin

    The morning started like every other day.Early.Focused.Controlled.By the time she got to the office, her schedule was already full.Meetings.Calls.Decisions.Everything lined up perfectly.The morning moved fast.One meeting after another.No delays.No mistakes.By noon, she was already back in her office, going through files like nothing else existed.That was her world.Work first.Always.A soft knock came on the door.“Come in,” she said without looking up.Her assistant walked in.“Ma’am, you have two guests.”She paused.Slowly.Then looked up.“I don’t remember scheduling any.”“You didn’t,” her assistant replied.Her expression hardened slightly.“I’m not seeing anyone.”“They said it’s from… an anonymous sender.”A small pause.She leaned back slightly.Thinking.Anonymous?She didn’t like that.At all.But“Let them in,” she said finally.A few seconds later, two men walked in.Formal.Respectful.Quiet.One of them stepped forward and placed a neatly wrapped box on h

    The ride back was quiet.Not the same quiet as before.This one felt… heavier.Like there were things both of them could say—but chose not to.She sat by the window again, her eyes on the passing streets, while Kael sat across from her, calm as ever.No unnecessary talk.No pressure.Just presence.The car slowed to a stop in front of her office building.One of the bodyguards stepped out immediately and opened the door.She stepped out first.Then paused.“Thanks,” she said.Simple.He nodded slightly.“Tomorrow,” he added.Not a question.More like a reminder.She looked at him.Then gave a small, unreadable smile.“We’ll see.”That was all she said before turning and walking inside.The car didn’t move immediately.He watched her until she disappeared through the doors.Then“Drive,” he said.And just like that, he was gone.Inside, the office was still active.People moving.Phones ringing.Everything in motion.She walked in like she always did calm, focused, untouched by the noi

Just watched her. Again. Like he was trying to read between her words. “So,” he continued, “your company… it’s growing fast.” “It has to,” she said. “No fear of expanding too quickly?” She shook her head slightly. “If you know what you’re doing, speed isn’t a problem.” “And if something goes wrong?” She placed her glass down gently. “Then I fix it.” Simple. Direct. No hesitation. A small silence fol

    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
