The next few days were quiet. Too quiet. James stopped calling every hour.

He stopped sending long messages. He stopped begging. Instead, he sent simple texts.

Good morning. Have a great day at work. Did you eat? Good night. Ava hated it.

“He’s changing tactics.” Queen looked up from her phone. “What?”

“He’s changing tactics.” Ava stole a fry from Queen’s plate. “When the crying doesn’t work, manipulators become patient.”

Queen rolled her eyes. “You make him sound like a criminal.” Ava pointed

  • The Billionaire's Curvy Prize   WHAT MATTERS 

    Queen was still smiling when she walked back into T&B. She didn't notice it at first. The moment she stepped into the office, she felt the difference. The place was quieter than it had been that morning.She set her handbag down and checked the documents she had brought back from Williams Hospitality.The meeting had gone well. Better than well, actually. George had approved several of her recommendations.But somehow, that wasn't the part of the afternoon she kept thinking about. It was the lunch.The conversation with George. The way George had looked at her when he told her about his Grandma, so casual.The way he'd held her hand before she got into the car. Queen shook her head. She had work to do.She picked up the Harbor View file and headed toward Richard's office. She knocked once."Come in." Queen opened the door. Richard was behind his desk, reading through a document.He looked up. "You're back?" "Yes, sir." "How did the meeting go?" Queen stepped inside."It went well."

  • The Billionaire's Curvy Prize   LUNCH

    The drive to the restaurant took less than twenty minutes. Queen had expected George to take her somewhere close to Williams Hospitality.George's driver was waiting outside when they stepped out of the building. Queen slowed for half a second when she saw the black sedan.She had expected them to walk somewhere nearby. Apparently, George Williams does not do less.He opened the rear door for her. "After you." Queen hesitated. "Thank you." She slipped inside.George followed. The door closed quietly behind them. As the car pulled away from Williams Hospitality, Queen glanced out the window.She still wasn't completely sure what she was doing. She had come to Williams Hospitality for a meeting.She had expected questions, and another round of Harbor View discussions. She hadn't expected lunch with the billionaire himself.George sat across from her, looking completely at ease. His phone rested in his hand, but he wasn't looking at it.Instead, his attention was on her. Queen noticed. "

  • The Billionaire's Curvy Prize   DON’T FALL

    Queen closed her notebook. The room had gone quieter. Lucas was still reviewing something on his tablet while George leaned back in his chair, watching Queen gather her papers.She stifled a yawn. George noticed. "You tired?" Queen immediately shook her head."No, sir." He raised an eyebrow. "That was a very convincing yawn." She covered her mouth."I've had a long day." "It's barely afternoon." "Exactly." George smiled.Queen reached for her pen. "Are we finished?" "For now." "Okay." She started gathering the documents.George watched her for a moment. Then he said casually, "Let's have lunch."Queen looked up. "Lunch?" She gave him a confused look. "I promised my Grandma to have lunch and not overwork myself.""Okayyy." "Then why are you telling me, sir?" "Because we're going together."Queen shook her head. "No, we're not." George's eyebrow lifted. "Why?""Because I'm here for a meeting." "The meeting is over." "I'm here to work.""And you're hungry." Queen stared at him. "I am not

  • The Billionaire's Curvy Prize   ACROSS THE TABLE

    Wednesday came faster than Queen expected. By nine forty-five, she was standing in the lobby of Williams Hospitality with the Harbor View folder tucked beneath her arm.The place still made her feel slightly out of place. Everything was polished. The quiet movement of people in expensive suits who looked like they knew exactly where they were going.Queen checked her watch. Nine forty-seven. She took a breath and looked down at the folder.She had spent two days studying this company. Today, she finally got to ask the questions she couldn't answer from a report."Miss Bella?" She looked up. Lucas Bennett was standing a few feet away."Hi." He smiled. "Good morning." "Good morning." He glanced at the folder in her hand."Prepared?" Queen gave him a small smile. "I hope so." Lucas laughed. "That's usually a dangerous answer.""Why?" "Because people who say they're prepared usually have no idea what they're walking into."Queen raised an eyebrow. "And people who say that usually enjoy wa

  • The Billionaire's Curvy Prize    SHE COULDN’T IGNORE

    By Tuesday morning, Queen had stopped counting how many cups of coffee she'd had. Her desk looked worse than it had on Monday.Reports were spread everywhere. Two notebooks were open beside her laptop, and she'd stuck small pieces of paper between pages she wanted to return to later.Ava walked past, stopped, and looked at the mess."You good, right?"Queen didn't look up. "Kinda." "That's not an answer." "Yes I am." Ava pulled out the chair opposite her."What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Queen." Queen finally looked up. "I'm trying to decide whether I'm overthinking this."Ava glanced at the folder beside her. "The Williams ish?" Queen nodded. She had spent most of Monday afternoon testing the projections.Every time she changed one assumption, the result changed. But the same pattern kept appearing.Williams' guests didn't behave like the average guests in the regional reports. They stayed longer.They spent more. And when the properties gave them more reasons to stay on-site, the differen

  • The Billionaire's Curvy Prize   RECOGNITION COMES WITH WORK

    Queen didn't realize how heavy the folders were until the office door closed behind her.She stood in the hallway for a moment, balancing the stack against her chest. Several employees walked past, offering polite smiles.She barely noticed them. Her mind was still inside Richard's office. "Don't mistake Mr. Williams' confidence in you... for proof that you've earned mine."The words replayed over and over again. Friday… He congratulated her. He smiled.Today… It was as if that conversation had never happened. "Queen?" She looked up.Ava was walking toward her with two mugs of coffee. The moment she saw the mountain of files in Queen's arms, she stopped."...What on earth happened?" Queen let out a slow breath. "I'm honestly not sure."Ava quickly set the coffee mugs on the nearest desk and took half of the folders from her."Come on." "Let's get these to your desk before one of us ends up in the hospital."Together they walked across the office. Melissa looked up briefly as they pass
