What He Does Not Say

Come Monday morning, I arrived to find a structural engineer’s business card on my desk.

No note. Just the card.

I picked it up. Turned it over. Put it in my notebook.

At 8:15, when he came out of his office, I did not say anything and he did not say anything either. We went about the morning at our usual pace, which was the pace of a freight train with a drop-off schedule attached, and at no point did either of us reference Saturday at the wisteria-covered courtyard.

I had decided to put what

  • The Billionaire Is Entangled   Zara’s Subtle Warning

    Zara Montgomery arrived on Tuesday at two PM wearing a cream coat that probably cost more than the Sovereign’s monthly utility bill, and she smiled at me like she wanted to communicate something specific without saying it directly.“You must be the new assistant,” she said, smooth as a press release.“Serena Holloway.” I said while pausing my typing, wondering if she had forgotten that we had met before. “He’s expecting you. Go right in.” I know that we had met before, but her acting like this was our first time meeting was surely suspicious.So I decided to act along, so when she stretched forth her hand for a shake, I shook it. Her grip was elegant and assessing and lasted exactly one beat longer than a normal handshake. “Holloway,” she said, as though noting the name for a file. “Richard Holloway’s daughter?” Her eyes were on me.“Yes.”“I was sorry to hear about your father.” She did not look sorry. She looked interested. “The hotel group was a real institution.”“Thank you," I re

  • The Billionaire Is Entangled   The Weight of the Name

    The Sovereign Hotel smelled like old carpet and potential.I stood in the lobby on Saturday morning, a no-work day. That means coming here was by choice because I was supposed to be relaxing at home, but relaxing doesn’t seem like an option when there’s the sovereign in my head every now and then. I loved it.The lobby was small. Not charmingly boutique small. Just small. The furniture was the kind that had been replaced on a budget sometime in the previous decade and not touched since. The lighting was doing its best, but its best was inadequate. The front desk was staffed by Gerald, who had been working there for eleven years and greeted me with warmth. He had most probably heard about me but was not yet sure if I was going to save them or sell them.Because the building was already dilapidated.“Miss Holloway,” he said.“Serena,” I offered. “Please. Can you show me everything?”Gerald showed me everything.It took three hours.The good news: the bones were extraordinary. The origin

  • The Billionaire Is Entangled    The Rules of Proximity

    Nobody warned me about the coffee situation.I had prepared for a lot of things going into my first full week at the Price Group. I had prepared for the pace, which was brutal. I had prepared for the volume of work, which was inhuman. I had even prepared, in a vague theoretical way, for the particular experience of working three feet from a man who looked that hot while trying to behave like a normal functioning professional.I had not prepared for the coffee.Specifically, I had not prepared for the fact that Damien Price took his coffee at a temperature that could only be described as aggressively wrong. Not hot. Not warm. Somewhere in a narrow band between the two that required the kitchen staff to essentially time it like a military operation or, better still, use a thermometer like a medical professional.Too hot and he set it aside without comment. Too cool and he set it aside without comment. The previous assistant, who had been quietly informed by Donna, a sympathetic woman in

  • The Billionaire Is Entangled   First Day, Wrong Instincts

    I arrived at seven fifty-eight.The floor that housed the CEO’s office was different from the lobby and quieter, and it definitely looked more expensive; the stillness of the place shows that serious things happen in this place at a serious pace. The PA assigned to orient me, Bryce, efficient and pleasant, walked me through the layout with brisk thoroughness, showing she had done this before and understood the value of getting it done correctly the first time.My desk was outside his office. Of course it was. That was what an executive assistant was: the person positioned between the executive and the rest of the world, the last line of consideration before something became his problem or didn’t.I sat down and pulled up the access I’d been granted. I read everything I could find; I definitely did not want to miss anything. every information is important in this crucial moment.At eight fifteen, his office door was still closed.At eight thirty-two, it opened.He came out with his ja

  • The Billionaire Is Entangled   The Kind of Man You Don’t Trust Yourself Around

    He leaned over to press the button to the top floor and I could literally smell him; he smelled like something sweet on a bad rainy day. I twitched my nose.The elevator ride was so silent, it was like I could hear him breathe. Meanwhile, I was cautioning myself not to breathe too much. I quickly glanced at him; he had a serious look, like he was thinking about something.I looked away. When I looked at him again, I almost caught him; he was also staring at him. But immediately after he saw that I looked at him, he quickly looked away and acted like I didn’t just catch him staring at me.We arrived and stepped out.His office was not what I expected.I had expected glass and ego, the kind of office designed to communicate wealth and power before you’d even sat down, where the furniture was chosen to intimidate and the desk was approximately the size of a small country. What I got instead was a room that looked like it was actually used. Books that had been read. A whiteboard along one
