The Billionaire's Little Thief CHAPTER SIXTEEN
The office never fully settled after the contract announcement.Even after everyone returned to work, the excitement lingered in the air like electricity.People who normally stayed quiet were talking more than usual, conversations carrying across departments while employees kept replaying the events from earlier.And every now and then, I caught people glancing at me differently, like I had suddenly become someone worth noticing.By the time evening approached, barely anyone was actually focused anymore.Adrian stepped into the office, and the room quieted almost instantly. He walked forward calmly before speaking.“Mr. Blackwood arranged a celebration tonight at Blackwood Lounge for securing the contract.”A few employees immediately exchanged excited looks.Then Adrian added casually, “He’ll also be attending.”There was complete silence. I frowned slightly, glancing around in confusion at everyone’s reactions.Then suddenly the entire office exploded into confusion.“What?”“Mr. B

I forced myself to breathe. What the hell was I doing? I was standing too close to him, staring at him too long, letting his voice and touch get into my head like some naive girl with a crush. The realization hit hard enough to pull me back to reality. Leonardo Blackwood was dangerous in every possible way, and the worst part was that I kept forgetting it whenever he looked at me for too long. I forced myself to step back before I did something stupid—like lean into his touch again. His eyes flickered like he noticed immediately. “I should get back to work,” I said, hoping my voice sounded steadier than I felt. For a second, he didn’t move, didn’t speak either. His gaze stayed locked on mine like he was debating whether to stop me or let me walk away. That hesitation in his eyes did something dangerous to my heartbeat. Then he stepped back. “Right,” he said quietly. I nodded once and turned, before he could notice how badly my composure was slipping. I could still feel

There was a subtle shift in the room, exchanged glances passing between representatives and executives.The screen behind me stayed the same, exactly what Iris wanted them to see.I let the silence stretch for a few seconds, then exhaled softly and stepped forward like nothing was wrong.“Apologies,” I said calmly, my voice steady enough to cut through the room.“Wrong file.”A few brows lifted.Across the room, I saw Iris’ smile falter, just slightly.I reached into my bag, pulled out another flash drive—a backup copy.I removed the first drive, replaced it with mine, and turned back to the screen.The screen went black for a second, then changed to a clean layout, structured data, and clear projections. Everything exactly the way I built it.This time, the shift in the room wasn’t subtle. It was immediate.Attention snapped back, people leaned forward, interest replaced doubt.I didn’t look at Iris. Not yet.“Let’s begin,” I said.I spoke without notes, not because I didn’t need the

I turned and walked back to my desk without looking at anyone. Still, I could feel the subtle shift in the room. The quiet attention. I sat down, pulled my laptop closer, and stared at the blank screen. I had to write a proposal for a major contract, from start to finish.I exhaled slowly and opened the company database.At first, it looked simple—past contracts, archived proposals, internal reports.Everything was there, just in a way I don't understand.The documents were technical, layered and built on knowledge I didn't have. Terms I had never worked with. Numbers that connected to systems I didn’t fully understand.Still, I kept going, file after file.Trying to piece something together–but nothing connected the way it should.After a while, I stopped and looked up.Across the office, a junior staff sat flipping through documents.I stood and walked over. “You’ve worked with past proposals, right?”He looked up, slightly surprised. “Yes, a few.”“I need access to the full archi
The Billionaire's Little Thief CHAPTER TWELVE
The hallway was dim when I stepped out of Sofia’s room.Quiet in a way that made every thought louder.I closed the door behind me and turned, already halfway to my room when a voice stopped me.“Couldn’t sleep?”I looked up and Damien stood a few steps away, leaning casually against the wall, like he had all the time in the world.I stopped a short distance from him. “Something like that.” His lips curved faintly. “First day and you already look like you’re reconsidering your life choices.”“I’m still deciding.” He tilted his head. “That bad?”A hint of a smile tugged at my lips. “Is it that obvious?”His lips curved faintly, a quiet breath of amusement following.His eyes moved over me. “You don’t look like someone who backs out,” he said.“I don’t.” That seemed to interest him. He straightened, folding his arms.“Most people don’t survive their first day here without looking… defeated.”“And I don’t look defeated?”“No.” His eyes lingered a second longer than necessary. “You loo

I moved instantly, sliding off his lap. One second I was on him, the next I was on my feet, my hand slipping from his chest as I straightened, forcing my expression to stay neutral. For a moment, no one spoke. Iris stood by the door, a file held neatly against her chest. And unlike most people, she didn’t react. No shock, no embarrassment. “I didn’t realize you were occupied,” she said evenly. Leonardo leaned back slightly in his chair, completely at ease. Iris stepped forward as if nothing had happened. “These need your signature,” she said, placing the file on his desk. “They’re due before noon.” He took it without a word, flipping through the pages with quiet precision. He signed each one without rushing, then closed the file and handed it back. “Anything else?” “No,” she took it, her eyes sliding briefly to me. “I’ll get started with her orientation,” she added. Leonardo gave a short nod, already reaching for another document. “Take her,” he said. Iris turned. “C
