EMILY’S POV

I grabbed Jace’s arm and pulled him slightly aside, dropping my voice to an urgent whisper. “Shut the fuck up. What are you doing? We’re both going to lose our jobs if you keep this up.”

But Jace didn’t even look at me. His eyes remained fixed on Miranda with an intensity that made the air feel heavy.

Miranda let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “Oh, I see what this is. You must think because you have a pretty face you can sleep your way around here just like Emily did. Is that it? Did she promise you something in exchange for defending her?”

Jace’s jaw tightened and when he spoke, his voice was dangerously calm. “That’s rich coming from you, Miranda. I think you’re confusing me with someone else. Someone who showed up at my office uninvited last night and threw herself at me despite being told no.”

Miranda’s face went scarlet and several people around us exchanged shocked glances.

“Consider yourself fired,” Jace said flatly. “Effective immediately.”

  • My one nightstand is the Secret CEO   Chapter 8

    EMILY’S POV Inside my office, I sat at my desk staring blankly at my computer screen without seeing anything on it. The words blurred together into meaningless shapes as my mind kept replaying the scene from earlier over and over again. The man I’d slept with. Not once but twice. The man I’d argued with in meetings, the man I’d corrected and assigned tasks to like he was just another junior analyst. The man whose hands had been on my waist just yesterday, whose lips had been on mine, whose fingers had made me come apart in a hotel bathroom. That man was the CEO of the entire company. The CEO. Jace Callahan. How had I not known? How had no one known? And more importantly, what the hell was going to happen now? My stomach churned with a mixture of humiliation and dread. I couldn’t even bring myself to leave my office since the scene in the main workspace this morning. Every time I thought about walking out there and facing all those employees who’d witnessed everything, I

  • My one nightstand is the Secret CEO   Chapter 6

    CHAPTER SIX EMILY’S POV I woke up to sunlight streaming through unfamiliar curtains and an immediate, pounding headache that made me wince. My body felt heavy and sore in places that made heat creep up my neck as I slowly became aware of my surroundings. I was naked. Completely naked. I turned my head carefully on the pillow and my breath caught in my throat. Jace lay beside me, his chest rising and falling in steady rhythm, one arm thrown across his forehead as he slept. The sheet was pulled low on his hips, exposing the defined muscles of his abdomen. And then the memories came rushing back like a tidal wave crashing over me. The hotel room after we’d left the gala. His hands sliding up my dress as he pressed me against the door. The way I’d dropped to my knees and take his cock in my mouth while he groaned my name and tangled his fingers in my hair. How he’d laid me on the bed afterward and buried his face between my legs until I was begging, actually begging him fo

  • My one nightstand is the Secret CEO   Chapter 5

    CHAPTER FIVE JACE’S POV I leaned back in my office chair, rolling my shoulders to ease the tension that had been building there all afternoon. The Callahan reports were finally done, formatted and ready for Monday’s presentation. I glanced at my watch and realized most of the office had already cleared out, everyone rushing home to get ready for tonight’s gala. I should have left an hour ago myself. I was about to shut down my computer when I heard a knock at my door. I looked up, expecting maybe the janitor or security doing their rounds, but instead Miranda stood in my doorway wearing a dress that left very little to the imagination and a smile that made my stomach turn. “Ma’am,” I said carefully, keeping my tone professional. “What are you doing here? Everyone’s supposed to be getting ready for the party.” She stepped inside without invitation, her heels clicking against the floor as she closed the door behind her. “I could ask you the same thing. Still working while

    CHAPTER FOUR EMILY’S POV "Careful!" he mumbled with one hand on my hip as the other gripped my arm and his voice barely above a whisper. Well-tailored suit. Tie slightly loosened and eyes that felt like a storm just waiting for a reason to break out. I stood still in the hallway, short on words to say. Wondering how the next minute I'd wanted to have him fired and the next I was wrapped in the arms of the one man I dreaded. "You like pushing buttons, don't you?" I snapped pulling away from his grip. Trying to build a wall between us. "If I'm starting to push yours, making you feel afraid, then yes," he responded. And for a second it felt like he'd read the words in my head. I hated that word. Afraid… It made my spine stiffen and for some reason it made my pride flare. "I'm not moved by you Jace!" His smile instantly turned wicked. "You should be!" Our eyes locked, and the space between us wasn't space at all— it felt more like a war zone. Charged and hot. Ann

  • My one nightstand is the Secret CEO   Chapter 3

    CHAPTER THREE EMILY’S POV I arrived fifteen minutes early for the phase two project briefing, as instructed. Not because I was excited to see Jace again, but because I needed to be in control before Jace walked in like he owned gravity. And as expected, he walked in looking like he’d just stepped off a goddamn runway with that smug smile and perfectly rolled sleeves. Punctual. Immaculate. And annoyingly smug. With all that, I knew he was going to be in trouble. “Morning partner!” he called out, pulling out a chair right next to me. “Save it!” I said flatly as I clicked open my laptop, pulling out the updated project board. “You’re taking on segmentation, backend analytics, the predictive funnel stimulations, and data source verification.” Jace tilted his head. “Thought we had templates for that.” “Well, you’re the one who challenged the demographic data last meeting. Let’s see what you can do.” He leaned back slightly. So I’m redoing the ske
