One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 91. A Perfect Family
Michael’s POVI stayed on the sidewalk long after the taillights of Damien’s car vanished into the city traffic. The evening air was biting, but I barely felt it, because of what I had just witnessed. Beside me, Owen and Scott were still talking about going for some late-evening drinks, but their voices sounded distant and unimportant to me at the moment.My mind was still stuck on the way the car door had closed, like a final sound that seemed to shut me out completely. Earlier Kelly hadn't looked at me with anger when she saw me standing with Owen as they spoke. Instead the expression on her face was a kind of exhaustion and distance, as if I was just another part of the office she was glad to leave behind."You coming, Michael?" Owen asked, jolting me back to the present. "No," I said, my voice sounding rough even to my own ears. "I have to get to the estate."Scott was the one who spoke as he heard what I said. “What does the old man still want?" I could see part of the same fr
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 90. Like Father, Like Son
Kelly's POV The farewell dinner at Dylan’s house ended much later than my mother had planned. And by the time the last guest walked out the door, it was nearly eleven pm in the night. The kitchen was a mess of dirty plates and half-finished wine glasses. I decided to assist Hope stack the dishes as my parents were still out seeing the last guests off and Dylan was in his study doing some last minute work. We both worked in silence, but my mind was heavy with the text message from Claire. Hope caught my eye across the sink as we stack the plates in the dishwasher, she didn't say anything, but she could tell I was worried. I had told her that Michael’s father was coming in.“Don’t overthink it, Kelly,” she whispered as she dried a plate. “It’s probably just for show. They have to make things look official after the mess of the contract.”“Maybe,” I said. But I knew that early morning meetings was more than for show.I left Dylan's house shortly after. As I got home the exhaustion o
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 89. A Good Day's Outing
Kelly's POV It had been two days since the fight with Michael in the hallway of my apartment building. Two days of absolute silence. There were no phone calls, no late-night messages, and not even a formal email telling me about the Jefferson contract. This was a heavy silence that made it hard for me to see a future between us whenever I thought about it for too long.My parents were leaving Seattle for Boston in a few days, and my mother, in her usual way, decided very suddenly that we needed to host a farewell dinner for the friends they had made here. She claimed it was to say goodbye properly, but I knew she just wanted to keep her hands busy so she wouldn't have to think about going back.I took an uber to my brother Dylan’s house that afternoon to help with whatever plans she had. When I walked through the front door, the house already smelled like onions and garlic sautéing in plenty of butter. In the living room, I could hear my father and Dylan arguing about something.
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 88. Lines Drawn
Michael’s POVHer words hung in the air, like a physical weight settling between us. We were still standing in the narrow hallway, the dim yellow light flickering slightly above us. Kelly’s jaw was set tight, and I could see the anger in her eyes, but beneath it all, was something that scared me more. She wasn't just venting, no it seems she had made a decision.“You’re making this into something much larger than it needs to be,” I said, as I tried to keep my voice low and measured, so I won't get more angry. “We had a professional conflict. Things got heated at the office. But that doesn't justify you going out with another man the very next day.”“Don’t you dare reduce this to a ‘professional conflict,’” she snapped. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was sharp enough to cut. “You didn't just correct a mistake, Michael. You dismantled me right in front of everyone, and you didn't care.”I felt a surge of defensiveness rise within me. “I was protecting the company! That contract coul
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 87. Where The Light Falls
Kelly's POV Today was the longest day of my life at the office, because it was heavy and cold. Everything moved with a mechanical precision that felt like I was walking through ice. Michael didn’t call me into his office to talk about the mistake or the shouting, nor did he apologize.Any instructions for my work that I needed to know came through Claire, and if I had any question, I was told to ask Scott. It was almost as if Michael had decided I didn't exist in his space anymore. When we finally crossed paths near the elevators in mid-afternoon, my heart jumped, as I hoped he would finally speak to me. But instead, his gaze just skimmed over me, as he gave a short nod to a person standing behind me and kept walking.It was as if he was treating me like a stranger, or worse, like a broken piece of office equipment that had been replaced.By five o’clock in the evening, the weight in my chest was unbearable. Every time my phone buzzed, I hoped it was a text from him. Maybe he wa
One Night And A Billionaire Obsession 86. The Space In Our Midst
Kelly's POV My fingers tracing the edges of files I had already straightened a dozen times. The office had long since settled back into its rhythmic hum, but to me, the air still felt charged and tense. It was as if the shouting had cleared away all the warmth, leaving only the sharp edges of professional expectations. Around me, my coworkers moved in hushed, careful orbits, offering no glances, nor sympathetic nods. In a high-stakes environment like this, failure was like a contagious disease no one wanted to catch.And above all, Michael’s door remained closed like a heavy, silent barrier. After Owen and Scott had followed him inside, the latch had clicked with a finality that felt like a sentencing. I had spent the afternoon watching that door, waiting for it to swing open, waiting for a summons or even another sharp word, anything to bridge the sudden, frozen distance between us. But nothing came. Claire and Scott handled the fallout with the Jefferson Group, their voices a
