Victoria Sterling studied Hazel for a long, unreadable moment. Her gaze was sharp and calm, the gaze of a woman who had seen ten thousand people walk through that door and had already decided what she thought of most of them.

What Victoria thought of Hazel right now? Hazel could not tell.

And that, more than anything, terrified her.

Finally she spoke.

"Five minutes," Victoria said. Her voice wasn't loud or angry. It was just as someone would expect from her, which was somehow much worse. "In m

    Maya looked at her. Then the corner of her mouth curved into a mischievous smile. "You're happy," Maya said with a teasing undertone in her voice. "Yes," Hazel said simply. "My day went well. I attended an executive meeting. I think I'm allowed to be happy about that.""You are," Maya agreed. She looked away, ostensibly at the street ahead of them. "Definitely. That's definitely why you're smiling."Hazel glanced at her. And she could tell that Maya was doing her thing again, that she had been doing a lot lately, ever since that day at the lake. "What does that mean?""Nothing," Maya said pleasantly. "Just that you're smiling. Which is nice. Very nice." She paused just long enough. "Are you sure it's just the meeting though?"Hazel stopped walking and expression darkened, her eyes narrowing as she gave Maya a disapproving look. Maya took two more steps before she turned around, her expression the picture of innocence. “Are you sure it doesn't have to do with a certain Sterling?”"Re

    Maxwell's expression didn't change dramatically. But something behind his eyes did. Actually he was already exhausted that Isobelle was still pushing this on him. And the even more exhausting part was that the person she was trying to set him up with didn't even like him at all. And neither did he in any romantic way. At this point it felt like Victoria and her were competing, trying to see who between them would find him a wife first. It was something he didn't agree to at the moment. If he will ever get married, he wanted to do it by himself and not because it was set up by someone."Isobelle," he said."Camille asked about you," Isobelle continued, completely ignoring his tone. "Just casually. Nothing serious. She mentioned your name and I thought that was interesting considering how she feels about you."Maxwell paused, surprised that Camille would speak about him. But then he thought: it makes sense, that she would speak about him, to vent after he annoyed her by accusing her

    Some time passed with everyone in the room debating. And Maxwell was still quiet.Eventually the debate hit a wall. Everyone was talking over each other and nobody was winning.Victoria tapped her pen on the table, silencing the room. Then she looked straight at Maxwell."Maxwell," she said. "You've been quiet. What do you think?"The room went still. Hazel felt a cringe coming on. She expected him to stammer or say something safe like, "I agree with both sides."That thought actually made her want to laugh before he had even actually said it. ‘Please say that. I'm dying to see you make a fool of yourself,’ she thought to herself, looking at him with an expectation.Maxwell leaned forward. The change in his energy was sudden. He didn't look like a ghost anymore.The truth was that he had only been quiet because this was a very serious matter and he'd rather listen and think about what was best for Sterling Industries than debate people."The fear of glitches is real," he said. His voi

    Victoria looked at Julian, her expression businesslike. "It's serious enough that we can't wait until Monday," she said. "Let's wait for the others. Then Natasha will explain how much trouble we're actually in."Trouble?Maxwell was now concerned after hearing that. What trouble could Sterling Industries possibly be in? To the rest of the world, Sterling Industries was an invincible fortress, a company worth hundreds of billions. He hadn't thought it could be in trouble.But Maxwell wasn't naive. He had seen companies fall before. He knew that the bigger they were, the harder they hit the ground, and the more people they crushed on the way down.As the future owner, the pressure of Victoria's words settled on him differently than it did on the others. This wasn't just a corporate problem to solve; this was his legacy, and it was under threat before he'd even fully stepped into it. He shifted in his seat, his earlier calm replaced by a cold and sharp focus. He needed to hear every word

    Maxwell was slightly taken aback by that. A favor? What could she possibly want to ask him? He simply gave a nod anyways. “Sure. What's up?”Natasha smiled faintly, glad that he was open to hearing her out. She took a small breath. "My sister's wedding is in three days. I need a plus one."Maxwell stared at her for a moment. Of all the things he had expected her to say, that hadn't been anywhere on the list. Also why was she telling him that? “Okay, and what do I have to do about it?” He asked. Although he already realized now that she wanted him to probably be her plus one, which was even more surprising that she would ask him that. “And I want you to be my plus one.” She said "Why me?" he asked. And he genuinely meant that question. He had only known Natasha for a shot time so he didn't think there was any reason she would choose him. "Surely you know other people you could ask.""I do," Natasha said, without missing hesitating. "But everyone I can think of asking right now, are

    Maya took a few steps towards Hazel until she was close enough to nudge her shoulder, a teasing smile was spreading across her face. "Wow. Staring much? If I didn't know better, I'd say someone looks a little jealous to see her boss with another woman."It was only once Maya's voice echoed in her wars that Hazel realized it. She blinked, immediately snapping out of whatever trance she had been in. A sudden, defensive heat appeared on both her cheeks. "What? Jealous? Are you out of your mind?" she shot back in an annoyed and harsh whisper.Maya opened her mouth to speak up. However Hazel gave her a serious look. "Don't you dare say a word," Hazel said immediately before Maya said anything. Maya closed her mouth. Then she opened it again and finally said,"I was just going to say….""I know what you were going to say and the answer is no." Hazel started walking again, cutting through the aisle with more purpose in her steps this time. "I was lost in thought. I didn't even realize I was

    A threat? He was being threatened because of some shoes? Before Maxwell could retort, the woman spoke up interrupting him."This is completely unfair!" the woman muttered loudly enough for everyone to hear before she stormed angrily out of the store like a child throwing a tantrum.Maxwell watched

    When everyone in the room looked at Victoria, they could tell that she was absolutely furious. Years of stolen trade secrets! And not only that, it was all stolen by Debra and Ramon, the very people she despised for the way they treated her nephew.Victoria turned to look at Maxwell. Her expression

    "Well, they're quite expensive," the man explained carefully, as if talking to someone who couldn't understand basic economics. "I'm just trying to save you from embarrassment at the register.""Money isn't an issue," Maxwell responded firmly, getting slightly irritated by everyone's assumptions ab

    "Yeah, the cameras are outside on the red carpet. Don't worry though they're not allowed inside the actual event," Natasha explained. "It's just standard media coverage for charity events."Maxwell nodded, feeling slightly better about that.Twenty minutes later, they pulled up smoothly to the Gran
