Clara’s gaze lingered for a second too long.

Mark sat across the room with a group of men she recognized, laughing. For a moment, she waited for something, anger, hurt, anything, but there was nothing. Just stillness.

Her lips pressed together slightly.

‘Maybe my heart got tired’, she thought, picking up her glass. Tired of swallowing lies and pretending not to see them.

Tara had already caught the glance. Her brows lifted, a tea

    Clara stared and stared. For a second, she completely forgot where she was.Matteo descended the staircase with the same controlled confidence he carried everywhere. The dark suit fit him perfectly, the expensive fabric emphasizing his broad shoulders and lean frame.He looked annoyingly too good.The last time she had seen him dressed like this had been at the bar. Back then, she had thought he was attractive.Now there was something different. There was more authority, more sophistication, more danger. And somehow, that made him even harder to look away from.Or maybe harder to stop looking at.By the time Matteo reached the last few steps, Clara finally realized she had been staring.Her gaze snapped elsewhere immediately. Heat crept into her cheeks. Thankfully, nobody seemed to notice.Unfortunately… Matteo noticed. His eyes swept over her once. Then again. A little slower this time.He immediately spotted the obvious problem. The color. The material. The matching outfit.His gaze

    Clara stood in front of her wardrobe with a faint crease between her brows.Tara was already seated on the bed behind her, and her legs crossed, scrolling on her phone like she had been assigned the official role of “outfit destroyer.”Clara pulled out a navy-blue dress. Tara looked up once.“No.”Clara paused.“…You didn’t even think.”“I did. That’s why I said no.”Clara exhaled slowly and returned it to the wardrobe. She pulled out a cream-colored dress next.Tara leaned back.“No.”Clara turned slightly.“This is getting ridiculous.”Tara shrugged.“I’m helping.”“For thirty minutes?”“Yes.”Clara shut her eyes briefly, then opened them again. She pulled out another outfit. Black, structured and professional.Tara didn’t even hesitate.“No.”Clara stared at her.“Are you just saying no to everything I own?”Tara smiled sweetly.“Not everything. Just everything you’re trying on.”Clara turned back to the wardrobe, now visibly confused.“I don’t even know what I’m supposed to wear.”

    Clara's alarm rang at exactly six-thirty. She groaned and pulled the blanket over her head.For three seconds, she considered ignoring it. Then adulthood won.With a dramatic sigh, she reached for her phone and silenced the alarm. The room was unusually quiet.Normally, Nyx would be curled up somewhere on the bed, acting like she paid the mortgage. Today, the cat was nowhere in sight.Clara narrowed her eyes."Fucking traitor."She already knew where the cat was. Tara's room.Ever since Tara started spending more nights at the house, Nyx had shamelessly abandoned her original owner.Clara sat up and stretched before opening her notifications. Most of them were from the social media team.Her attention immediately moved to Matteo's newly created account.The first post had officially gone live. Curious, she opened the comments.The first one made her laugh.Finally. The mysterious billionaire has discovered the internet.Another read: Please blink twice if your assistant forced you to

    "It seems..." Luca's grin widened. "...you just made a post online."Matteo stared at him. Then at Bianca. Then at the phone. His expression remained completely blank."What post?"Bianca immediately burst out laughing."Listen to him."She held up the phone."Like he doesn't know.""I don't."Luca shook his head."The social media team made the first post on your new account."Understanding flashed briefly across Matteo's face, then it disappeared immediately."Oh."Bianca blinked."That's your reaction?""What reaction were you expecting?""Shock.""I knew they were going to create the account."Luca handed him the phone."Read the comments."Matteo looked unimpressed. Still, he took the phone.The post was exactly what Clara had proposed. Simple, direct and annoyingly accurate.He hated admitting it, but the woman understood branding.The comments underneath were multiplying rapidly.This is actually him. 😭The attitude is already showing.Why is this funny?Someone finally dragge

    The door of Matteo's hospital room closed behind Clara. For a few seconds, silence settled over the room.Then Matteo slowly turned his head toward Luca. His expression was unreadable."Why did you bring her here?"Luca didn't even pretend not to understand. He leaned comfortably against the chair and folded his arms."I wanted to surprise both of you."A grin appeared on his face."I'd say it worked."Matteo stared at him. The grin immediately became less amusing.Luca cleared his throat. "Tough crowd.""Clara works for me."Matteo's voice remained flat."There was no reason for her to see me here."Luca's eyebrows rose."Really?""Yes.""That's your argument?"Matteo said nothing. Luca shook his head."She's not just another employee anymore."His tone became more serious."She's directly involved in everything surrounding you right now. The scandal, the company's progress, the social media department, Elena..."He gestured toward Matteo."And all of those things involve you."Matte

    By the time Clara got home, the sky outside was already dark. She pushed the front door open and stepped inside with a tired sigh.The smell of food greeted her immediately. From the kitchen came the sound of a voice."You're finally back."Clara dropped her handbag on the console table and walked further into the house.Tara stood beside the kitchen island, holding a bowl. Nyx sat proudly on the counter while being fed pieces of chicken like royalty.The cat glanced at Clara once, then completely ignored her.Clara stopped walking. Her mouth fell open."Wow."Nyx continued eating."Seriously?"Nothing. Not even a blink.Tara burst out laughing."I think you've been replaced."Clara pointed accusingly at the cat."I carried you home when you were tiny."Nyx licked her paw."I buy your food."Nothing."I pay the bills in this house."Still nothing. Tara laughed harder."She's chosen her favourite parent."Clara looked personally offended."This betrayal hurts.""Be strong.""I'm trying

    The silence Vanessa left behind didn’t feel empty.Clara stayed still for a few seconds, her fingers resting on the edge of her desk, her gaze fixed on the closed door. Her mind replayed the last words over and over again.‘Just like that picture of Mr Devereaux kissing someone.’Her jaw tightened.

    Clara’s eyes lifted from her desk, her expression neutral, but a flicker of recognition passed through her. She didn’t let it show. Instead, she leaned back slightly in her chair, studying her visitor with quiet attention.Up close, the woman was even more striking.Her skin carried a warm tan glow,

    Clara twisted her face, her brows met as she swerved into the next turn. The morning traffic was already irritating her, and that was before her phone vibrated.She glanced at the screen while slowing at a red light.Devereaux Franchise Team: Meeting confirmed for 9:00 a.m.Her brows knitted toget

    Clara stayed frozen long after Matteo Devereaux walked out of her office.The door closed softly behind him, but the room still felt crowded, as if his presence had seeped into the walls and refused to leave.
