THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET CHAPTER 40 The Woman Who Set Her Own Terms
Avah was beginning to understand that success came with a different kind of pressure.The phone rang more often. Her inbox filled faster. People who had never heard of Morne Studio suddenly wanted meetings, proposals, and interviews.And everyone seemed to believe her time was available simply because her business was growing.She stared at the schedule on her laptop.Clove leaned over her shoulder.“That's a lot of meetings.”“It's a lot of requests.”“Same thing, unfortunately.”Avah scrolled through the calendar.“The Ellery guest wing needs final material selections. Mrs. Vance wants the first design review. Meridian House has a resident consultation. And the magazine wants confirmation for the discussion panel.”Clove folded her arms.“You need another designer.”“We already have Bex.”“Bex is one person, Avah. Not a magical creature who can work twenty hours a day.”Avah laughed.“I know.”“Then act like you know.”Avah closed the calendar.Clove pulled out the chair beside her.
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET CHAPTER 39 The Price of Being Seen
Avah stared at the contract on her laptop.Morne Studio's name appeared near the top, followed by the details of the residential common-area renovation.She read the figures again.Then once more.“Are you planning to memorize the entire document?”Clove's voice interrupted her concentration.Avah looked up.“I'm checking the payment schedule.”“You've checked it four times.”“Five.”Clove dropped into the chair opposite her.“Then congratulations. You've officially become the kind of business owner who distrusts good news.”Avah laughed.“I just want to make sure everything is correct before I sign.”“That's fair. But you should also allow yourself to enjoy something.”Avah looked at the contract again.She was about to sign an agreement that would bring another major project into Morne Studio. It was the kind of opportunity she had dreamed about when she first began rebuilding her career.And yet, a small part of her still found it difficult to believe.Clove noticed her expression.
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET CHAPTER 38 The Life She Was Building
Avah had never been more nervous about a presentation that wasn't connected to Meridian House.She stood in the middle of Morne Studio, staring at the collection of photographs spread across the conference table.The photographs belonged to Mrs. Vance's residential property—a luxury apartment building whose common areas had become beautiful in the way expensive places sometimes did.Everything looked polished.Nothing looked welcoming.Clove picked up one photograph.“Why does this lobby look like a museum where people aren't allowed to breathe?”Avah laughed.“Because the previous designer was more concerned about appearances than comfort.”“And Mrs. Vance wants us to fix it?”“She wants residents to feel at home before they even reach their apartments.”Bex turned her laptop toward them.“I've organized the resident feedback. Apparently, the current waiting area has only two comfortable chairs, and they're usually occupied by people waiting for delivery drivers.”Clove stared at her
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET CHAPTER 37 The Truth Behind the Delivery
The email remained unopened on Avah's laptop.Its subject line was enough to make her uneasy.THE NIGHT YOU SHOULD ASK ABOUT.She had forwarded it to Ms. Harlan, just as she had done with the previous messages. But this one felt different.It wasn't simply another warning about the project.It was an invitation to investigate Calder's past.And she wasn't sure she wanted to follow it.Clove stood beside her desk, reading the subject line.“Someone really wants you to believe there's a secret hiding somewhere.”“Apparently.”“Are you going to open it?”“No.”Clove raised an eyebrow.“Not even out of curiosity?”Avah shook her head.“If the sender has something legitimate to say, they can identify themselves and provide it through the proper channel.”“That's sensible.”“It's also exhausting.”Clove pulled out the chair opposite her.“Then perhaps we should stop discussing it for today.”Avah smiled.“That's the best suggestion you've made all morning.”“I'm full of excellent suggestion
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET CHAPTER 36:The Note He Never Read
Calder stared at the signature.His name was written beneath the date, followed by the words Received by Executive Office.He recognized the handwriting.It was his.For several seconds, he couldn't move.“Mira,” he called.His assistant appeared at the doorway.“You wanted me?”“Come here. Look at this.”She approached his desk and examined the scanned document.“Where did this come from?”“The archive administrator found it among the original consultation records.”Mira read the handwritten note.Please ensure the private family room remains part of the final plan. Residents have asked for this repeatedly.Her eyes moved to the receiving stamp.“Your signature.”“Yes.”“Do you remember receiving it?”Calder leaned back.“I remember signing stacks of documents during that period. I can't remember this particular note.”“Could it have been signed by someone else on your behalf?”“No. That's my signature.”He rubbed his jaw.“Find out how it was delivered. I want the original routing r
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET CHAPTER 35 What the Records Remembered
Calder hated unanswered questions.He hated them even more when the answers depended on his own memory.The Meridian House approval package lay open on his desk. Beside it was a printed copy of the full resident-needs report.He had read both documents several times.The dates were clear.The shortened executive summary had been submitted for approval before the full report was accessed under his account.But that didn't necessarily mean he had never received the report separately.He leaned back, rubbing his forehead.“Mira.”His assistant entered with her tablet.“You asked for the archive access history?”“Yes.”She placed the document before him.“The records show that your account accessed the original resident-needs report after the approval package had been signed. However, the report was also available through the shared project folder.”“Can we establish whether I received a separate copy?”“Not yet. We're checking archived email attachments and document delivery records.”Ca
