Ning smiled as she loosened her tie, her eyes never leaving mine.

“You look like you’re trying to decide whether you should let me,” she said.

“Should I be worried?”

“Not unless you’ve suddenly become afraid of a little fun.”

“Since when have I ever turned down a good time with you? Having Ning Yue in my bed is always a pleasure.”

“Good question,” she said, laughing. She leaned closer, lowering her voice. “Perhaps I should find out if that’s still true.”

Having Ning Yue in my bed is always a pleasure.”“Good question,” she said, laughing. She leaned closer, lowering her voice. “Perhaps I should find out if that’s still true.”I glanced at her lips before meeting her eyes again.“You’ve certainly come prepared to make an impression tonight.”“And here I thought you were the one who promised to make the evening worth my while.”“I did.”“Then stop talking, Gareth.”She smiled as I rose from my chair and offered her my hand. She took it, looking pleased with herself, and I led her away from the table.At the elevator, she slipped her hand around my neck.“Tell me something,” she said, a knowing smile playing on her lips. “The woman you’re seeing.

    GarethThe Hong Kong market is competitive,” Mr. Lau said, turning his tablet towards me. “If Vellum wants to establish a presence here, we’ll need more than just a recognisable name.”I studied the figures. “I’m not opening a hotel just to say we’ve entered the market. The location and investment have to make sense.”“Agreed,” Mr. Lau said. “The owners of the waterfront development are willing to negotiate, but they won’t hold the offer indefinitely.”“How long do we have?”“Three weeks, perhaps four.”“Send me the financial assessment, projected and operating costs. I’ll review everything before we proceed.”Mr. Lau nodded. “I’ll have my team prepare the documents.”I closed the tablet. “Good. I’m interested in the opportunity, but I won’t rush into an investment because of a deadline.”Mr. Lau stood, and we shook hands before saying goodbye.My phone rang as I stepped out to the lobby.Ning Yue.“I just got out of my meeting,” she said, not bothering with a greeting. “Please tell m

    Camille“I think the darker stain works better with the flooring you already have,” I said, laying two samples side by side on the kitchen island. My client, a woman renovating her late mother’s house, ran her fingers both. “You’re right. This one feels warmer.”We spent the next hour finalizing details, and I kept checking my phone between discussions, hoping Gareth would finally call or send a message.Nothing from Gareth since yesterday.If Gareth’s mother and I had a better relationship, I might have tried reaching out to her. But I didn’t even have her number. I could have visited her instead, but I’d only been to her house once, with Gareth driving the entire way. All I remembered was that it was somewhere outside the city.It made me realize that, despite how happy Gareth and I were together, there were still parts of his life I hadn’t become a part of. His mother was one of them, and I couldn’t help wondering if things would ever be different between us.“Camille?”I looked u

    CamillePatrick looked paler than I expected when I walked into his room, propped against the pillows, an IV still in his arm, looking more depleted than the confident man I’d walked through the property with yesterday.“You came,” he said, genuine surprise in his voice.“I said I would.”“I know. I just wasn’t sure you’d actually have the time, with how busy I know you’d be.”“I made time.”His expression softened. “Thank you for that. Genuinely.”“How’re you feeling?”“Honestly, rougher than I expected. They’re running a few more tests. Apparently, they don’t think dehydration explains everything.”“That’s really concerning.”“It’s probably nothing. They just want to be thorough.” He shifted slightly, wincing. “Sorry you’re seeing me like this.”“I’ve lost count of how many times you’ve apologized, Patrick. It’s fine. Health issues come up sometimes.”“Still, I was hoping our first few meetings would be about discussing designs, not you having to visit me in the hospital.”“Oh my God

    CamillePatrick had called the previous evening to ask if I could meet him at the property the following morning. I agreed, and though I was running about ten minutes late, he was already there when I arrived, his hands in his pockets as he studied the exposed brick.“Sorry I’m late,” I said, walking up to him.He glanced at his watch before looking up at me. “Ten minutes isn’t bad. I figured you’d be held by traffic or change your mind about coming.”I laughed. “No, that would have been rude.”He nodded. “Let’s go around the property.”“Yes, sure. I brought sketches based on what we discussed.”“Good. I was hoping you’d actually come with something to look at.” He glanced at me. “Though I wouldn’t have complained if wine was involved again.”I laughed, shaking my head, and we started walking through the space together. He asked engaging questions and pushed back whenever he disagreed rather than going along with everything.“You clearly have strong points about this,” I said, after h

    MarleneI sat curled on Damon’s couch, still stinging from the humiliation of Gareth’s office.He had embarrassed me in his office, speaking to me as though I were some desperate woman who couldn’t understand the meaning of the word no.I could still hear his voice telling me he didn’t want to deal with me unless it was work related. Apparently, Camille was the center of his life; it didn't matter that we’d had such intense chemistry in the past. My mistake was not giving us a chance to see where things could go. I wondered what was so special about Camille. She was average, nothing special.Damon walked in from the kitchen, two glasses in hand, breaking me out of it.“You’re doing that thing again,” he said, handing me a drink. “The staring into nothing.”“I’m fine.”“I can imagine.” He let out a laugh and sat beside me, studying me. “Let me guess. Gareth shut you down again.”“Something like that.”“Honestly, I don’t get it. That man’s so stupid over Camille, it’s embarrassing to w
