I pulled my hand back from his warm face and watched him process my question.

Jett shook his head slowly and offered me a very weak, tired smile.

"No, I don't want to go home just yet," he whispered while leaning deeper into the dark leather cushions.

"I just need a few minutes to close my eyes, and then I can get back to my desk."

I wanted to argue with him, but I knew pushing him would only cause another spike in his erratic heart rate.

My chest ached with a heavy, bitter helplessness that I

    "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Sterling today?"She let out a short, cold laugh that sent a chill down my spine."I do not need an appointment to see him."She took another step closer, bringing with her the strong scent of expensive perfume.It was a heavy, floral smell that instantly made my lingering morning sickness flare up again.I swallowed hard and fought the desperate urge to step back from her."Mr. Sterling is currently in a very important meeting in the main boardroom," I told her firmly."He left strict instructions not to be disturbed this afternoon by anyone.""I am well aware of the meeting taking place," she said smoothly, her tone mocking my professionalism.She reached out and traced a manicured finger along the edge of my desk."My father is currently in that room tearing Silas apart as we speak."My heart skipped a beat, and a cold sweat broke out across my forehead.The junior executives by the water cooler said the VIP guests were the in-laws.This woman s

    I stared blankly at the bright monitor while my vision slowly blurred.Hot tears burned the back of my eyes, stinging sharply as I blinked over and over to keep them from falling.My chest felt incredibly tight, like someone had wrapped a heavy iron band around my ribs and pulled it taut.I grabbed the smooth edge of my wooden desk and forced myself to take a deep, shaky breath.I had a job to do, and I could not afford to fall apart in the middle of the executive suite.Ren was in a meeting with his future family right now, finalizing the details of his marriage.He was moving on with his real life, securing his corporate empire and his legacy.I was just the temporary secretary he hired to answer his phones and organize his daily calendar.I needed to figure out how to survive my own life instead of dreaming about his.I dragged the computer mouse across the black pad and clicked on a random financial spreadsheet.The rows of black numbers swam on the screen, blending together into

    "So what are they doing here on a random Monday?""They are here to see Mr. Sterling to finalize the new merger details."I frowned and reached for my tea, wondering why a corporate merger was causing so much fear among the staff.Ren handled acquisitions and mergers all the time without the board throwing a collective panic attack."It isn't a normal corporate merger, idiot," the woman hissed, clearly frustrated that he wasn't understanding the severity of the situation."It's a family merger."I froze, the mug stopping halfway to my mouth."What do you mean by a family merger?" the man asked, sounding genuinely confused."I mean an actual marriage," she explained, her voice dropping so low I almost couldn't hear her."My boss said Mr. Sterling is finally tying the knot to consolidate their businesses."The breath left my lungs in a sharp, painful rush, and my fingers went completely numb."Are you serious?" the man gasped. "The boss is getting married?""Yes, and those scary guys do

    Ren gave me one last look before turning around and walking out of the room.I watched his broad back disappear down the corridor, taking that heavy, protective warmth with him.The suffocating pressure that arrived with the elevator faded as he moved away, but the isolation left behind felt much worse.The anteroom was far too quiet, and the silence gave my brain way too much room to spiral.I sat back in my chair and pulled my mug of ginger tea closer, wrapping both of my cold hands around the warm ceramic.I tried to focus on the digital calendar on my computer monitor, but the letters just blurred together into a meaningless mess.My imagination was running wild, picturing Ren standing in that freezing boardroom surrounded by angry, powerful men.He was fighting a massive battle by himself, and I was just sitting here drinking tea like a coward.The phone on my desk suddenly rang, cutting through the silence and making me jump in my seat.I quickly grabbed the receiver and pressed

    He bit his bottom lip and looked away, clearly searching for another excuse to explain his panic."The atmosphere out here is a little intense today," he finally admitted, his voice dropping to a quiet whisper."Brenda said the board is freaking out about some VIP guests arriving this afternoon.""The board is overreacting, as usual," I told him, coming around the edge of his desk to stand right beside his chair.I reached out and placed my hand on his shoulder.The second my palm touched his gray sweater, I let my natural warmth seep into his rigid muscles.I consciously pulled my aggressive energy back and wrapped a protective, grounding aura around him to shield him from the elders' oppressive weight.He let out a long, shaky breath and leaned into my touch ever so slightly.The violent trembling in his hands slowly started to fade, replaced by a much calmer rhythm in his chest."Who are these people, Ren?" he asked, looking up at me with genuine concern."Silas looks like he is ab

    "You cannot just ignore them, Ren!" Silas shouted, pacing back and forth across the gray carpet.He ran his hands through his thinning hair, looking like a cornered animal.The rest of the human board members had already fled to their private offices, leaving Silas to handle the fallout of this surprise visit.He was sweating right through his expensive suit jacket, terrified of the consequences."I have ignored them for years, Silas, and I will continue to do so," I told him calmly, leaning my hip against the edge of the conference table."This is different! Nathaniel called a formal gathering, and they are expecting you to present the signed treaty agreements.""Nathaniel doesn't have the authority to call a formal gathering in my city," I reminded him."He is overstepping his bounds, and I am going to remind him of his actual place.""They are going to tear this company apart if you refuse them," Silas warned, stopping his frantic pacing to glare at me."They brought Victor and Eli
