“What?...Oh, Um… he’s my friend.” I stammered, looking away.

Lucien nodded slowly, his voice quiet but sharp. “Of course. Who would want to date you?”

The elevator doors opened with a soft chime, and before I could even process what he just said, he stepped out. Just like that.

I stood there for a second, blinking like an idiot. What the hell was that supposed to mean? My lips parted but no sound came out. The doors started to close, so I scoffed under my breath and hurried after him.

By the time we reached his office, he didn’t even glance my way.

“Get me coffee,” he muttered flatly, reaching for a file on his desk. Then he paused, turned slightly, and added in a low tone, “If you put sugar again this time, get ready to stay late for a week.”

And then he walked off.

I glared at his back before leaving his office.

Still, I was weirdly relieved. At least he wasn’t pissed that I came in late. Maybe my small act of kindness last night softened him a little. Maybe not. Ei

    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. The gown he’d picked hugged my waist and flowed gracefully around my legs. It shimmered when I moved, and with my hair straightened and my bangs light and soft, I actually felt pretty. And different. “You look incredible too,” I whispered. “Seriously… I’ve never seen yo

    SHAYLEThe air in the room shifted the moment those words left Lucien's mouth."Is it true?"My throat tightened. I wanted to answer, wanted to say something that would end this moment quickly, but my voice wouldn't work. Laureen and Maddie stood frozen beside me, their earlier excitement evaporating into awkward silence.Lucien's eyes didn't leave mine. Not for a second. They were dark, intense, searching for something I wasn't ready to give him.I forced myself to swallow. "Yes," I whispered finally. "It's true."The word hung in the air like a blade.For a moment, nothing happened. Lucien just stared at me, his jaw tightening almost imperceptibly. Then something flickered in his eyes, something I couldn't quite name. Pain? Anger? Jealousy?But he didn't explode. He didn't argue. He just stood there, absorbing it like a physical blow he'd been expecting but hoped wouldn't come.Maddie cleared her throat awkwardly. "Um, we should probably…""Stay," Lucien said quietly, his gaze still
