The air in Mr. Vilmorre’s office felt suffocating. I had walked in expecting another accusation. Another reminder that he never trusted me.

I wasn’t prepared for this.

When the door clicked shut, he turned around slowly. His face was unreadable. He dropped a brown file onto his desk and slid it toward me.

“Open it.”

I frowned. “What is this?”

“I said open it.” I picked it up with trembling fingers.

The first page stole the breath from my lungs.

KINGSTON HOLDINGS.

My employment record. My appoin

    Hale walked into my office without knocking. That alone told me he had news."What is it?""I met Brooks yesterday."My pen paused.Finally, something useful in this office. I set the document aside and leaned back in my chair. "And?"Hale smiled."I think he's willing to give Vilmorre another chance."That was why he was one of my top investors. He hardly gave up on Vilmorre. He could be stubborn, but the edge we give his company over others would definitely made him stay. And too bad, we need him badly. "Explain.""He admitted he reacted too quickly after the investor leak. He said the way the situation was handled afterward made him reconsider." Hale sighed. “I personally think grandmother spoke to him or something. But we can’t be too sure”I nodded once. I didn’t care who convinced who. He was back and that’s all that mattered.Brooks wasn't just another investor. His influence stretched beyond the local market. If he returned, others would likely follow.That was good. Very good.

    The doorbell rang just as I finished folding my laundry and I frowned as I rushed to the door. Lance wasn’t supposed to be here until evening.And he wasn’t.Opening the door, a delivery man stood outside, holding an elegant bouquet of white lilies and pale pink roses.“Mrs. Klaire?”“Yes?”“These are for you.” He handed me the bouquet before asking me to sign on a small electronic pad. I thanked him, closed the door, and stared at the flowers in confusion.They were beautiful. Far too expensive for an ordinary gift.There was no need for Lance to go extra miles. He had apologized enough for regarding me as just his girlfriend and I had forgiven him…I guess.With curiosity , I opened it he letter placed in the flower.My dear,I have heard a little about what happened at Vilmorre Enterprise. Although I do not know every detail, I know enough to say I am truly sorry for the pain my grandson has caused you.Aleksander is many wonderful things, but apologizing has never been one of them.

    Hale.Seeing Hale’s call was mixed feelings. I didn’t know what to expect and how to respond to any news he might bring. Was it work? Or just wanted to say hi to Lance’s wife.I answered immediately. “Good afternoon, Mr. Hale.”“You’ve started sounding too formal.”I laughed. “You are my superior.”“To an extent…” he laughed. “So…”“So?”“I’m inviting you out.”“…What?”“Relax.” He laughed. “It’s lunch. I promise I’m old enough to be your uncle.”I covered my mouth as I laughed. “I wasn’t thinking whatever you’re thinking”“You were.”“I wasn’t.”“You definitely were.”His laughter was contagious. “So…Are you coming?”I looked around my apartment.“I suppose sitting indoors all day isn’t helping.”“Exactly. I’ll send you the location.”An hour later, I found him waiting outside a quiet café. The moment he saw me, he stood.“I almost didn’t recognize you.”I frowned. “Is that a compliment?”“You look…” He studied me “…rested.”I laughed.“I’ve been sleeping.”“I can tell.”He pulled out

    The navy-blue dress wasn’t too fancy, neither was it casual. It was just the perfect dress for meeting Lance’s family. At least… I hoped so.The decision to fully commit into my relationship has my stomach tied in knots since morning. I’d never met Lance’s family before. In truth, I hadn’t really met anyone important in his life…except his grandmother who died sooner than I had thought.Maybe if I hadn’t taken so long to meet with Lance, she would have seen us have a proper wedding and meeting.A knock came at the door and I smiled when he walked in.“You look beautiful.” He mentioned and heat rushed to my cheeks. I had begun to get comfortable with receiving compliments from him…and although physical touch was still out of the chart, I knew we were closer to that.He held out a small bouquet of white flowers.“For you.”I laughed. “You’re meeting your family, not proposing.”“Can’t I spoil my…” He paused dramatically. “…favorite person?”I accepted the flowers and he offered me his

    Grandmother looked at me as though she was about to disown me. "Aleksander.""I already said no, Grandma." I sighed “Grandmother, this isn't your responsibility."She leaned back on the sofa inside my office and folded her arms. “It became my responsibility the moment you refused to do the right thing.""We've discussed this." There was no reason for her to risk her health and show up at my office."No. You've avoided this. They're different things."Hale wisely remained near the door, pretending to be fascinated by the paintings on my office wall. And by even when I shot him a look, he immediately looked away.Traitor.Grandmother wasn’t done. "You accused an innocent girl.""I acted on evidence.""You acted on assumptions.""I acted as a CEO.""You forgot to act as a human being." I inhaled slowly. "I've already withdrawn the legal proceedings.""That isn't enough.""I gave her leave.""That isn't enough either.""What else do you want me to do?"She smiled. “The obvious thing. A

    The conference room was silent. Everyone had finished presenting their reports, yet somehow the silence irritated me more than the presentations themselves.I had never realized how loud incompetence could be.I closed the last file and looked around the table.“So…” I leaned back in my chair. “Does anyone here actually read these before submitting them?”No one answered.The Head of Finance adjusted his tie. The HR director lowered her head. Someone coughed.I tossed the report onto the table. “It says here the recruitment figures increased by fifteen percent.”I looked directly at HR. “Where are the supporting documents?”She opened her mouth. “Mr. Vilmorre, we were still…”“I didn’t ask what you were still doing.” I interrupted coldly. “I asked where the documents are.”She swallowed. “We haven’t completed them.”“Then why is the report on my table?” I picked up another file. “This proposal.” I flipped through a few pages. “The formatting is inconsistent. The projections contradict

    I stood in front of the mirror for almost five minutes, wondering if it was because Andrew never saw my body, maybe it made him turn toward my sister.But I didn't want to make excuses for a man. He knew I was busy. He knew father over worked me at Kingston just so I could take the company's profit

    I had slept in Elise's office, on the executive floor. It had a couch that was way better than the bed we slept on at home. I had woken up with a cramp in my neck, due to the position I had slept in, but after a shower, a little massage, and a change of clothes, I was back to work.Last night, I ma

    The next morning, I already regretted my life. Elise had arrived at the office dressed like she was attending a luxury brunch instead of training for one of the most demanding positions in the company.Stepping out of the elevator, we approached the executive assistant's office. My eyes widened at

    When Mr. Vilmorre walked away, I stayed frozen still staring in the direction he had disappeared, taking time to process what I had just seen.Absolutely none of this made sense.Mr Aleksander Vimorre, the coldest, most emotionally exhausted man, had just sat down holding hands with a woman.Elise.
