The silence that settled between them was filled with heavy unspoken questions.

Selene was the first to break the silence. With a sigh, she sank into a plush armchair, her eyes never leaving his face. "Okay," she said, her voice a low murmur.

"I think you owe me about a thousand explanations, but let's start with one."

Jason gave a nod. After she had unknowingly helped him get the other piece of the map, Jason couldn't agree more. It was only fair that he repaid her back by answering whatever questions she had about him.

Although he was always going to be cautious and not disclose his true identity to her as Lucan Vale. He walked over to the minibar and poured two glasses of water, handing one over to her. "Only one?" he asked, a faint smile touching his lips.

"For now," she conceded, accepting the glass. Her fingers brushed his, a spark of warmth in the cool room. "Those men. You're alive and safe so I'm guessing you... handled them?”

“Well, not exactly.” Jason responded.

    “It’s not a date,” she snapped back without hesitation. But then the thought lingered, catching her off guard. Why couldn’t it be a date? Did it even matter if it was or not? He was her fiancé, after all, so there was nothing wrong with them going out on dates. She exhaled, the fight slipping from her shoulders. “Call it want you want. But i wanted to thank you, Jason.” The words came out uneven, almost stammered, like gratitude was a language she was still struggling to learn."For what? Agreeing to eat?""For the Sterling Enterprises deal," she replied, holding his gaze with an intensity that made something shift in his chest. "For saving Smith Royale from bankruptcy and financial difficulties. For saving my family.""It's thanks to you that I can afford a place like this again. That we can afford anything again."And then it happened. It wasn't a polite press of the lips or a calculated smirk. It was a rare, genuine smile that lit up her features and reached her eyes, transformin

    The meeting had gone well, and Jason had been part of it. It was something that the smith family would never allow normally. But now that they knew he was probably a rich person, they had no issues with him. Hell, lady Smith even asked him if he wanted to have a position in the company, as one of the shareholder. Jason turned her down, since he really didn't see any use in that. He was already rich, and getting shares in smith royale seemed like a waste of time he didn't have in his line of work. Jason and Vanessa walked back into her office after leaving the meeting. Vanessa let out a long sigh as she slumped back into her chair for just a second. Jason, who had been a quiet observer by the door, finally moved forward. "Well," he said, breaking the silence. "Your family seems to now approve of us." Although he already knew the reason behind their sudden approval, Jason didn’t want to dwell on it. All that mattered was fulfilling his master’s wish. For that, he was willing to for

    All he could see was Jason’s calm, victorious smirk. All he could hear was the thud of his own knee hitting the carpet and kneeling on Jason's feet, In front of all those people. All he could feel was the burning shame of those whispers.He saw it out of the corner of his eye, a sleek, modern, stainless steel trash can, standing innocently by the elevator bank. It was a symbol of the very office, the very company, that had just watched him kneel."GGRRAAAH!” He let out a guttural groan from his chest as he ran at the trash can. He didn’t just shove it—he hauled his foot back and kicked with all his strength. If only he could kick Jason that hard; Charlie was dying to try. The heavy can went flying, smashing against the opposite marble wall with a loud, echoing CLANG. It vomited its contents, used coffee cups, crumpled memos, banana peels, in a disgusting spray across the pristine floor.The sound was shockingly loud in the otherwise quiet executive hallway.Instantly, heads popped up

    Charlie’s hands, braced on the floor, were shaking with anger and shame. He pushed himself up, his movements stiff and uncoordinated. He didn’t dare look at anyone, not Jason, not his grandmother, and definitely not the board members.How could he look at anyone right now when he had been humiliated more than he had ever been in his whole life? But he could hear them.The second he was off his knees, the suffocating silence he’d been drowning in cracked and gave way to a low, infectious buzz of murmurs, whispers and stiffled laughs . It was the sound of a scandal being born, and he was its centerpiece."…good lord, did that just happen?""…never thought I’d see the day. Charlie Smith...""He actually knelt…""And called him 'Sir'! Twice!""My goodness, who is this Jason Wolfe?"Charlie’s face, which had been a dark, blotchy red, now felt like it was actively on fire. He could feel every single pair of eyes on him, not with fear or respect, but with a humiliating mixture of pity and

    The room went dead silent.Was lady Smith getting involved in the bet between Jason and Charlie? and trying to make sure Charlie honored it?If the previous tension was a tight wire, Lady Smith’s words just set it on fire. The other board members, who had only been expecting a financial report, looked between Charlie, Jason, and the Smith family matriarch, their expressions confused, sensing this was no longer just business. “Oh, yeah. We forgot about the bet.” Morgana added. A smirk appeared across her face. The idea of Charlie getting humiliated was too good to resist. Charlie froze. Sweat formed on his forehead and blood ran cold.He had been dreading this. And he couldn't believe it, his own grandmother was the one bringing this up. Did she want him, her own grandson, to get humiliated? He forced a laugh, but it came out strained and high-pitched. "Grandmother, I don't think this is the time or place for family jokes..." "It is the exact time and place," Lady Smith interrupte

    Charlie’s jaw tightened. He’d actually been relieved when that thug Cole Vargas hauled Jason away from the party last night. He’d hoped Duval would take care of the problem permanently. If Jason disappeared, the bet disappeared. But now the bastard was back, looking perfectly fine, and sitting in the CEO’s office like he owned it. Which meant the humiliation Charlie gambled on was still coming. Charlie didn't want that to happen right now, obviously. He had an image to uphold around here and if he were to apologize to Jason, In front of everyone here, then he would lose all the respect they had for him. The thought of kneeling to this nobody in front of the board made his stomach clench. He pointedly ignored Jason, fixing his glare only on Vanessa. "We're waiting for you in the meeting room," he snapped,"The entire board is here. Nice of you to finally notice." Vanessa glanced at the clock and sighed, realizing she was late for the meeting. "Sorry, Charlie. I'm coming now.
