SHAYLE

If I knew my new look would land me in this kind of situation—where an arrogant, disrespectful fuckboy assumed I was trying to crawl into his bed—I would have stuck to my plain Jane self.

Because this was too much. Too damn much.

My mouth hung open for a few seconds before I snapped it shut, staring at Lucien like he’d grown two heads.

“You’ve got it totally wrong,” I managed, clearing my throat.

“I don’t find you attractive at all. And I’d appreciate it if you kept your clearly personal, sex life out of work while I’m here.”

His brows lifted slightly, clearly taken back.

I refused to give him another second of my attention since I was clearly pissed.

Turning sharply, I walked out of his office with the manual clutched tightly in my hands. My palms were damp, my chest rising and falling too fast.

I entered my new office, if you could even call it that. It was small, minimalist, and directly across from his. Just close enough for him to bark orders at me

    ShayleI needed to get out of here real quick.My hands shook as I thanked the woman beside me, my voice barely holding. I turned and pushed through the restroom door with my heels clicking too loud in my ears. My heart was pounding like it wanted to rip free. The moment I was out of sight, I pulled my phone out with clumsy fingers and typed fast.Kieran something is up. I have to leave now. Please do not worry about me. I will explain everything when you get back.I stared at the screen for a second, thumb hovering. I knew I should have called him. I knew it. But if I did call him, it won't be easy for him to let go and he'll just end up keeping me here longer.I sent the text.My chest felt tight as I slipped the phone back into my clutch. I lifted my head and scanned the hall, already plotting an escape. I kept my chin down and moved fast, praying nobody would recognize me. I could already spot several colleagues laughing and talking close by.People I worked with. People who knew

    SHAYLE A few hours later, I was pacing around my apartment like a lunatic. I kept checking my phone, fixing my hair, rechecking my dress in the mirror, then sitting down, then standing up again. By the time the knock finally came, I nearly tripped running to the door. When I opened it, my breath caught. Kieran stood there in a black tailored suit that fit him so well my knees almost gave out. His hair looked longer than usual, falling slightly over his forehead in a way that made him look unfairly good. He held a bouquet of fresh flowers and smiled at me with so much warmth my chest tightened. “Wow,” he murmured, eyes sweeping over me slowly. “Shayle… you look beautiful.” I felt heat crawl up my neck.
