SHAYLE

The moment Lucien stormed out, I didn’t wait another damn second to hear Alina’s voice or whatever she still had to say, lined up.

I gathered the papers I had brought in, ignoring the shocked faces watching, and walked out.

My hands were shaking, but I didn’t stop. I knew I had just acted like a total idiot in front of everyone. I should’ve let Alina face the consequences for what she did, let Lucien ruin her reputation for good, but I couldn’t.

No matter how much of a bitch she was to me, I couldn’t just stand there and watch her get blacklisted.

The walk back to my office felt endless. My chest was tight, my breathing uneven. I hated that I cared. I hated that no matter how much I told myself to grow a spine, I still cared for the same family who had stabbed me in the back.

When I finally reached my office, I slammed the door shut, locked it, and leaned against it like I was holding my whole world from collapsing. Then I slid down to the floor and just… broke.

    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.

And different. “You look incredible too,” I whispered. “Seriously… I’ve never seen yo
