Adela’s mind was spinning in every direction. Before she could stop herself, she blurted out,

“Does the investor know Layson Norman is Starry’s CEO?”

The second she said it, her face flushed pink.

Right. She was literally curled up in Layson’s arms right now. Great timing.

And yes, she was totally trying to pull the “my boyfriend’s a big deal” card to scare off the investor. But if Layson realized that, would he think she was petty? Or using him?

She didn't dare look up. Just imagining the look in his eyes was enough to make her cheeks burn hotter.

She loved jewelry design. The idea of getting yanked into acting because some rich guy thought she looked “marketable” was beyond insulting.

On the other end of the line, Sam sounded hesitant.

“I mean… I’m sure he knows who owns Starry, but he definitely doesn’t know you’re dating Layson Norman.”

Yeah. That tracked.

Sam had seen Layson pick her up from work yesterday, so it wasn’t a stretch that he figured it out. But clearly, the investor

    The meeting room was so quiet, you could hear a page flip.Layson was lazily toying with Adela’s fingers in one hand, holding his phone in the other. He’d grunt or hum occasionally, just enough to show the person on the other end he was listening.Adela stared down at the folder in her lap, her heart pounding. Wait, that’s what the director expects from me?She thought it was just another project—turns out, Carlton had practically handed her the entire creative direction. Her stomach tightened. Innovation for a single piece? Sure. A whole series? Gulp.She snuck a glance at Layson beside her, eyes flickering with uncertainty. He pinched her hand—hard enough to snap her out of it.She gave him a glare, but the confusion in her eyes quickly turned bright and alive again. He smirked.Their gaze locked for a beat—silent sparks flying in the space between them.Carlton, the only single man in the room, sighed inwardly. Can these two just… not? He set his teacup down with a loud clink, jarr

    Carlton picked up the teapot and filled a cup, pushing it toward Layson.“Since you're here,” he said mildly, “we’ve got a few projects worth talking about. Might as well hear them all together.”Layson raised a brow. What he heard was: You’ve got nothing to do, so sit and look pretty.Still, he leaned back lazily into the couch, one arm casually around Adela, looking like he had all the time in the world.“Sure. Let’s hear it.”His hand slid down her side, fingers catching her hand in his, playing with it absentmindedly like she was a soft little stress toy. His expression was utterly unbothered, like nothing in the room could touch him.Carlton sighed inwardly. If it weren’t for Adela, Layson would’ve never stuck around. He wasn’t exactly a workaholic, but he was definitely a time-is-money kind of guy. Seeing him like this?The emperor no longer cares to govern…Carlton cleared his throat and finally turned to Adela.“The modern drama will be delayed a few days. Production’s hitting

  • Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama   387 Total Chaos in the Balcony

    Adela had her eyes shut, spacing out completely, when Layson’s low, husky voice rumbled above her head with a hint of a smile.“You asleep?”Her cheeks instantly flushed. She opened her eyes, glaring at him. “How am I supposed to make a call if you won’t let me go?”Layson casually slid his phone into his pocket, arm still slung lazily behind her back. He kissed the top of her head like nothing had happened. “You can make it now.”Adela tried tugging her right hand free—the one holding her phone—but after three failed attempts, she gave up. She looked up at him, silent but clearly annoyed.Layson’s smirk deepened. “What? Not calling anymore?”God, he was infuriatingly childish sometimes.Adela stared at him, eyes narrowed with a growing flicker of frustration. The soft sunlight streaming through the balcony glass danced across her porcelain skin, lighting up her face like something straight out of a dream—pure, clear, and almost untouchable.Layson couldn’t stop staring. He was utterl

  • Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama   386 Wreaking Havoc on Everyone’s Heart

    Carlton’s eyes flicked over to Marah and her teammate. He frowned slightly, clearly debating how to begin.The silence dragged on—awkwardly long—until a knock on the door jolted everyone on the couch to attention.Adela turned toward the sound and, sure enough, saw Chloe, the team lead from the Sweet Motion group, stepping in with a bright smile. This was turning into a regular tea party. She’d never seen Carlton’s office so crowded—honestly, it was kind of impressive.Chloe handed over a stack of design drafts with practiced sweetness. “Director, could you take a look when you have a moment? I’ve been pulling all-nighters to get this done.”Carlton took the file without looking up, set it on the coffee table, and nodded. “I’ll find time to review it.”Adela noticed someone had placed a cup of tea in front of her—probably one of the assistants. There were cups in front of Marah, Emma, and the other girl too. She figured the reason she was even called here was likely to go over Marah’s

    Before Adela could fully organize her thoughts, she heard Emma whisper to Marah’s group,"Mind if I come with you guys to Director Carlton’s office?"One of the girls responded brightly, “Sure!”The office fell quiet again.A shadow fell across Adela’s desk. She didn’t look up this time. “Don’t tell me—”But then she glanced up and saw it was Cici dragging her chair over. “A whole parade of women just trotted off to Carlton’s office.”Her voice dropped to a near whisper. “What do you think? Are they really going to discuss work, or...?”Adela rolled her eyes. “You’re clearly not busy enough. Need me to forward that task I got three minutes ago?”Cici blanched. “Nope! I’m good, fully booked!”Adela leaned closer, her voice quiet. “By the way, about your dad’s company orders—I asked Robbie. He admitted he was the one behind it. But I told him to stop. It won’t cause trouble for your dad, will it?”Cici shook her head, and Adela hesitated before adding, “Robbie said it was him trying to…
