When we returned to the office from the South Point site, the penthouse floor of the Castellano Group was wrapped in a kind of silence that was deafening. Only the soft hum of the air conditioning and the sound of Lysander tapping on his laptop could be heard.

Lysander removed his coat and hung it on the back of his chair. This was followed by the loosening of his tie. I watched his every move, from the tightening of his shoulders to the opening of the first two buttons of his polo shirt, whic

  • Seducing My Ex-boyfriend's Father    Chapter 10

    I snatched my phone from my bag and pulled up my Viber chat with Luisa. I had to tell her right away before I completely lost my mind from the sheer mixture of excitement and stress. “Bestie! You won't believe what just happened!” I texted, my fingers shaking violently as I typed out the words. Less than a minute passed before my phone vibrated in my palm. The girl was already calling. "Hello, bestie?! What is it?! What's the tea?!" Luisa’s voice blasted through the line without a single second of greeting. She was speaking so loudly that I was incredibly grateful the area around my table was soundproofed. "No! This is way bigger than that!" I whispered fiercely, throwing a quick glance toward the heavy door of Lysander’s private office to make sure he couldn't hear a single word. "My mom called earlier during lunch. She's forcing me to attend Zinnia’s birthday party this coming Saturday." "What?! Are your parents completely out of their minds?!" Luisa roared from the other end,

    Chapter 9 Time at the office passed quickly since I arrived this morning. After what happened between Lysander and me last night, I expected the air between us to be awkward, but I was wrong. Lysander remained professional, although he gave me stolen glances that only the two of us understood the meaning of. It was already twelve noon. I decided not to go down to the cafeteria for a while because I just wanted to be alone. I went to the pantry of the penthouse floor carrying my lunch box. The surroundings were quiet because the other employees were out or downstairs. I sat in a corner and started eating, but I had not even taken two bites when my phone suddenly rang. When I looked at the screen, my heart pounded. It was Mom. She rarely calls me if there is nothing important needed or if it is not about the family. I took a deep breath before I pressed the answer button. "Hello, Mom? Why did you call?" I asked, forcing my voice to be steady. "Primrose, where are you these days? You

    When we returned to the office from the South Point site, the penthouse floor of the Castellano Group was wrapped in a kind of silence that was deafening. Only the soft hum of the air conditioning and the sound of Lysander tapping on his laptop could be heard. Lysander removed his coat and hung it on the back of his chair. This was followed by the loosening of his tie. I watched his every move, from the tightening of his shoulders to the opening of the first two buttons of his polo shirt, which revealed his fair and firm chest. "Ms. Zobel, I need those site reports finalized tonight. I cannot show unfinished work to the board tomorrow at eight o'clock," he ordered without looking at me. "Yes, Sir. But... haven't you noticed the time? It is almost eight o'clock in the evening," I replied as I slowly approached his desk. I intentionally dropped my bag on the floor to have an excuse to bend over in front of him. In that position, I knew he could clearly see the curves of my body in th

    The afternoon arrived, and I had successfully finished organizing every single folder he had assigned to me. I felt a sense of relief wash over me, thinking that I could finally rest my mind and my body after hours of pretending to be overwhelmed by basic office tasks. "Get your things, Ms. Zobel. We’re heading to the South Park site. There is an issue with the structural alignment, and I need to see it personally," he ordered. He spoke without even looking in my direction, his eyes fixed on a digital blueprint on his tablet. "Structural... what? Sir, can’t Mr. Arnaldo just go instead?" I asked. I made sure to let my voice tremble slightly, acting as if the very idea of field work made me nervous and as if I had no idea what a construction site even entailed. "You are my secretary. You go where I go. And you need to learn how to monitor projects outside the office," he answered firmly while he started walking toward the door. I scrambled to gather my belongings. As I grabbed my ba

    As the new secretary of Lysander Gray Castellano, I found myself entering a world that was entirely foreign to my artistic soul. He had agreed to keep me close to him, and I intended to make the most of every single second. Today was my very first day at the Castellano Group. As I stood in front of the giant mirror in my condominium, I carefully examined my reflection. I had chosen my outfit with great intention. I wore a cream-colored blouse with a neckline that was perhaps a bit deeper than standard office wear, paired with a black pencil skirt that hugged my hips tightly. This was not the typical corporate attire one would expect in a high-stakes boardroom, but it was exactly what I needed for my mission. I needed to be a distraction. I needed to be impossible to ignore. The building of the Castellano Group was significantly taller than any of the other structures surrounding it, standing like a monument to power in the heart of the city. With every step I took through the marbl

    The night seemed to slow its rotation, matching every drop of rain falling outside the window of the restaurant located at the top of a penthouse in Greenwoods. Here, far from the noise of the street, the man I never expected to cross paths with again in this manner sat directly across from me.He was Lysander Gray Castellano.He leaned back in his chair. His white polo shirt had two buttons open, and the sleeves were neatly folded up to his elbows. Every movement he made carried authority, a kind of power that did not need to be shouted because everyone around him felt it naturally. He held a glass of scotch, slowly swirling the ice inside, while his sharp and dark eyes were fixed on me.Why did it have to be him? Of all the men in the world, why was it Xavier’s father I ended up with on that night full of mistakes? I needed to calm the shaking of my hands under the table. He could not be allowed to see that I was affected."You're five minutes early," he greeted. "I appreciate peop
