The diner was nothing like the places I usually ended up in.

No glass walls, no polished marble, no staff who spoke like they were trained to measure every word. Just warm lighting, slightly worn booths, the soft clatter of plates, and the smell of fried food and coffee that had been brewed too many times but still somehow worked.

I sat by the window even though there was nothing to see outside except a dim streetlight and the occasional passing car. It wasn’t about the view. It was about dista

    "Is this everyone?" Liam asked as he glanced around the small conference room, counting heads."These are the people I trust the most," I said as I shut the door behind me. "Amy and Ralph. Both of them have worked with me long enough to know when something's off.""Good," Liam said as he set a thin folder down on the table and took the seat at the head of it. "Then let's get into it."Amy slid into the chair across from me, pulling out a notepad, while Ralph leaned back with his arms crossed, watching Liam carefully."What exactly are we dealing with?" Ralph asked as he tapped his pen against the table."Camilla," Liam said as he opened the folder and turned it so everyone could see the first page. "She's been feeding information to a rival company. Pricing models, vendor contracts, internal projections. We confirmed it yesterday in a meeting that went about as badly as it could have gone.""Confirmed how?" Amy asked as she looked up from her notepad."The rival executive knew things

    "Are you ready for this?" Liam asked as he straightened his tie outside the elevator bank, his eyes fixed on the doors like they might open on something dangerous."As ready as I'll ever be," I said as I shifted my bag higher on my shoulder, my heels clicking against the marble floor.The elevator arrived with a soft chime, and we stepped inside, the doors sliding shut behind us with a hush that felt heavier than it should have."Walk me through it again," Liam said as he pressed the button for the twelfth floor. "What do we actually know Camilla took?""Client projections, at minimum," I said as I counted off on my fingers. "The Q3 pricing model. Possibly the vendor contracts, based on what Drew's company quoted last week.""That's not a possibility, that's a pattern," Liam said as he exhaled hard through his nose, his jaw tightening."It's still circumstantial," I said as I crossed my arms, watching the floor numbers climb. "We can't accuse him outright without proof.""I'm not goin

    "Hey, girl. Are you okay?" Ralph asked as he slid into the chair across from me, glancing once over his shoulder before settling.I had my lunch spread out in front of me, the little plastic container of noodles still steaming, and I speared a piece of chicken with my fork before I answered."What's the problem?" I said as I popped the bite into my mouth. "Life is good."Ralph studied me for a long moment, the kind of look that made it clear he wasn't buying a single word of it."Nina," Ralph said as he leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. "You don't have to do that with me.""Do what?" I said, keeping my eyes on my food as I stabbed at another piece of chicken like it had personally offended me."Pretend everything's fine," Ralph said as he tilted his head, watching me chew. "I know about the restraining order. I know about the rumours. That's a lot for one morning.""I'm handling it," I said as I shrugged one shoulder, reaching for my water. "Restraining order's done.

    "I got a restraining order against him this morning," I said into the phone as I pushed through the front doors of the building, my coffee cup sweating slightly against my palm."Good, you should have done that the second he showed up at your car," Amanda said as her voice came through sharp and certain. "I still can't believe he grabbed you like that.""Neither can I," I said as I shook my head, weaving toward the elevators. "I keep replaying it. The whole 'you belong to me' thing.""That man needs serious help," Amanda said as she huffed. "Did the judge give you any trouble?"I was about to answer when I caught the way two women near the reception desk went quiet and turned their heads, watching me cross the lobby like I was something they'd been discussing seconds before. I slowed, frowning, and felt my stomach tighten."Amanda, I'm at work, I have to go," I said as I lowered the phone slightly, scanning the room."Okay, but call me at lunch," Amanda said as her voice rushed to get

    "You really look like you had a good time out there, Ralph," I said as I glanced up from my desk to find him already leaning against my doorframe, bag slung over one shoulder, grinning like he'd been waiting there for an hour."I did," Ralph said as he pushed off the frame and strolled in like he owned the place. "My mother cried four times. Four. I counted.""Happy tears, I hope," I said as I shut my laptop and started gathering papers into my bag."Mostly," Ralph said as he dropped into the chair across from my desk, watching me with an exaggerated patience he clearly didn't feel. "She kept grabbing Marcus's face and saying she finally got the son in law she always wanted. Marcus just stood there and took it like a champ.""I like Marcus already," I said as I laughed, zipping my bag shut."Everyone likes Marcus," Ralph said as he stood and stretched, rolling his shoulders. "He brought his own playlist for the reception. Curated. Labeled. My mother almost proposed to him a second tim

    "Do you think we're all going to lose our jobs?" Amy asked as she wrapped both hands around her mug like it could anchor her to the table."I don't know," I said as I shook my head slowly, watching the steam curl off my coffee. "But Liam wouldn't let that happen. He's been working nonstop trying to contain this.""Easy for you to say," Amy said as she let out a short, humourless laugh. "You're sleeping with the guy who's supposed to fix it."I felt my face go warm and pressed my lips together to keep from smiling too wide. "That's not fair," I said as I nudged her foot under the table. "I'm just as scared as you are.""Are you, though?" Amy asked as she tilted her head, studying me in that way she did when she already suspected the answer. "Because right now you look like someone who just got good news, not someone worried about unemployment.""I'm not glowing," I said as I rolled my eyes, even though I could feel the heat creeping further up my neck. "I just think things will work ou

    “Home sweet home,” Nina said softly as she closed the door behind her and tried to convince herself that the familiar silence of her space was comforting rather than unsettling. Her phone rang before she could fully settle down for a while. She answered to hear Elena’s voice from her honeymoon, br

    “Hello, Nina. Can you be in my office right now?” Liam said calmly, his tone controlled but carrying something underneath it that made my stomach tighten.I paused for a second, then replied, “I’m on my way,” Nina said.The moment I ended the call, I already knew this was not going to be a normal c

    I stared at Daniel for several long seconds while my phone remained pressed against my ear and somewhere on the other end of the line Liam was still waiting for me to respond."Is it true, Nina?" Daniel asked again.I blinked before asking, "What are you doing here?"Daniel ignored the question and

    The sound of my phone ringing dragged me out of sleep, and I groaned while rolling over as I blindly reached across my bedside table and squinted at the screen through half-open eyes, immediately frowning the moment I saw Amanda’s name flashing across my phone because Amanda was many things, but a S
