Dante

I was trying to control my anger, but I couldn't do it no matter how hard I tried.

The rage was a dark, suffocating weight pressing against my ribs, making every breath I took feel like swallowing glass.

I paced behind my massive oak desk, my heavy footsteps muffled by the expensive Persian rug.

Across the room, Jamie was practically hugging the leather armchairs near the entrance, keeping a considerable, very wise distance away from me.

I ran a hand over my face, exasperated with myself.

  • My Billionaire Boss Baby Daddy Doesn't Remember Me   Chapter Fifty-Eight

    DanteThe glass walls of my office felt less like a sanctuary and more like a high-altitude prison cell.For the past week, I had done nothing but sit behind my massive desk, my eyes burning a hole through the blinds as I watched Jenna work.She was constantly on video calls with Daniel.Jamie was supposed to be the buffer.Jamie was supposed to sit in on those meetings, convey the team's creative information, and run the logistics so Jenna didn't have to be on the front lines.But Daniel kept insisting on direct communication, and Jenna, to my fury, was complying.I didn't just dislike the interaction; I despised it with a dark, primal intensity that terrified even me.I would pull up the internal network logs, watching the timestamps of their video conferences stretch from thirty minutes into an hour.Sometimes, I would quietly step out of my office, standing in the shadows of the executive corridor just to watch her through the glass of her door.I saw the way she smiled at the com

    JennaLuckily, it wasn't a life-or-death emergency, but the sharp knot of panic in my stomach didn't fully uncoil until I was sitting across from Dean Vance in her dimly lit, wood-paneled office.It was just the Dean's maternal concern.The older woman had noticed that over the past few days, Marie had been acting rather weak during recess, slumping against the playground benches instead of running around with the other children, looking drained and pale.That sudden change in energy had worried the Dean enough to request a face-to-face meeting before letting her go.I had thanked the Dean profusely, keeping the deeper truth about Marie's delicate condition buried safely behind a polite smile.Now, back at home in our cozy apartment, the soft yellow light of the kitchen lamp cast a warm glow over the counter.I sliced up a bowl of fresh apples and strawberries, setting the plate down in front of Marie, who was sitting on a high stool, swinging her small legs back and forth.I had my p

    JennaI was still pissed off as I returned to my office, the heels of my shoes clicking violently against the pristine tiled floor.I slammed the door shut behind me, marched straight over to my desk, and sat down hard, my hands folded tightly across my chest.Who did he think he was?The sheer nerve of him still made my blood boil.I leaned back against my leather chair, closing my eyes, but that only made it worse because I could instantly recall the look on his face—the dark intensity in his eyes when he told me, flat out, that he didn't like it.I gritted my teeth, annoyed with myself.If I was being painfully honest, I could swear I had felt two entirely contradictory emotions at the same time in that silence."Get a grip, Jenna," I muttered aloud to the empty room, shaking my head as if brushing the thought away from my mind."He's your boss. That's it. You don't care what he likes or doesn't like."I forced my attention back to my desk, staring at the scattered documents sittin

    JennaWe sat together at the small window table while the lunch rush buzzed quietly around us.Daniel asked after me, asking how I was holding up with all the work pressure, and I answered accordingly.I kept my answers simple and brief, mostly absorbed in my meal because I was genuinely starving."You're eating like you haven't seen food in three days," Daniel laughed softly, taking a sip of his iced tea."You have no idea," I muttered between bites of my chicken pasta. "This job takes everything out of me."When I was halfway done with my food, I wiped my mouth with a paper napkin and looked at him."Why did you show interest in working with SalTech anyway?" I asked, leaning back in my chair. "With all their recent public leaks, most investors are running away.""It's the exact same reason everyone else wants to work with them," Daniel answered smoothly with a shrug.I honestly didn't know what that reason was supposed to be, so I just nodded like I understood.Daniel clocked on my

    JennaFour days had passed since then and I had been facing a different kind of hell.There wasn't any physical fire around me, but I definitely burned with anger every single day at this job.Working at SalTech was exhausting enough without dealing with Dante's crazy personal life.I walked out of the main office building during my lunch break, heading straight for the small restaurant down the street.I just wanted a quiet meal away from computer screens, audit reports, and corporate drama.I didn't even get halfway down the sidewalk before someone stepped directly into my path, blocking me.Barbara stood before me now outside the company, standing right close to the restaurant I wanted to have lunch in.She had her hands on her hips, her heavy makeup done to perfection, and an ugly glare on her face."We need to talk right now, Jenna," Barbara said, blocking the concrete pathway.I stopped in my tracks, crossing my arms over my chest as I looked at her."I don't have anything to sa
