The Scarred Luna’s Revenge Chapter 21
Maya's pov. "I still can't believe you brought your brother without telling me," I said, leaning my elbows on the table and pointing a fry at Aaron.Aaron laughed, taking a sip of his wine. "Come on, admit it! It made the night way more interesting.""It definitely made it surprising," I chuckled. "Does Marcus usually just drop in on your dates?""Never," Aaron said, shaking his head. "Honestly, he's a total workaholic. The guy works 19 hours a day and barely has a social life. When I told him I was meeting a friend who was bringing a brilliant architect along, he actually agreed to come.""Well, he certainly looks the part," I teased, taking a sip of my wine. "Very serious and definitely intense.""Well he's the definition of 'An emotionless Billionaire CEO'" Aaron muttered with a grin. "I got all the charm in the family."I let out a loud laugh, before reaching up to slap a hand over my mouth.Aaron had always been easy to talk to and he easily made me feel at peace.This was the f

Nora's pov. "Wait... your brother's name is Marcus Hayes?"The words left my mouth before I could stop them. This man, Aaron's brother, was really Marcus Hayes?!The primary investor backing the museum expansion was now standing in front of me looking completely out of place in a bright restaurant. Marcus looked down at me with a small smile on his lips. "It's been a while, Ms. Vance.""It has," I managed to say, clearing my throat and straightening my posture. "Mr. Hayes."His eyes lingered on me for a second, staring down at my clothes and then my hair before turning to look at Naya. My grip tightened around the stem of my wine glass. I couldn't help but feel slightly dizzy. I had only ever met him for things related to work, surrounded by draft's and lawyers... seeing him here felt weird. Aaron looked back and forth between us, his mouth hanging open slightly. "Wait. You two already know each other?""Mr. Hayes is the primary investor for the Kensington Cultural Museum," I expl

Nora's povI sat at Maya's kitchen island with my laptop open, going through a long list of floor art for the museum.My coffee had gone cold an hour ago, but I was too lazy to even think about throwing it out. "Nora," Maya said, walking into the kitchen wearing a tight hot pink dress."You need to go get ready. Our date is in two hours."I didn't take my eyes off the monitor as I replied. "I don't have a date, Maya. 'You' have a date.""We agreed on this days ago!" Maya groaned, stepping beside me and slapping the top of my laptop screen halfway shut."You promised you'd come along for bestie support."I blinked, looking up at her in shock. "Wait, it's already six o'clock?""Yes!""Maya, I really don't think I can go," I said quickly, pushing the screen back up."I have way too much work to finish for the expansion on Monday.""Oh, absolute rubbish," Maya snapped, folding her arms."Nora, you have worked every single day since you got to London. You can't spend the rest of your life

Nora's pov. I got out of the cab as fast as I could and hurried toward the front doors of Vance & Associates. My leg was aching slightly but I couldn't afford to slow down. I had no idea if the contractors had gone up already, but I knew they would be annoyed by my absence. But at that moment, the front doors were pulled open and four men in Green vests stepped out of the building, carrying thick rolls of paper and leather bags. They looked furious. "We came all the way across town because we were told the head architect wanted to see us." one of the men grumbled, waving a hand in frustration."And she's not even here!""It's a complete waste of our time," another man agreed, shaking his head."Let's just go."My heart sank to my stomach at this point. With how they looked, I couldn't possibly let them walk away. I took a deep breath, stepped in front of them and stood as straight as I could."Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm Nora Vance, the lead architect on the Kensington project
The Scarred Luna’s Revenge Chapter 17
Nora's pov.I pushed myself away from my desk, rolling my shoulders to ease the ache between my shoulders. The morning had gone by quickly, but thankfully the first draft of my drawings for the site foundation would be complete soon. I grabbed my purse, pushed myself off my chair and grabbed my coat. My stomach had already begun grumbling, so I decided to head down the hall to Maya's office to see if she wanted to grab food together.When I reached her door, I knocked twice. On getting to answer, I pushed the door of her office open slightly and peeked inside.Maya was sitting at her desk, twirling a pen in her fingers with a massive, goofy grin on her face. She was practically talking into her phone, giggling like a teenager with her first crush."I might bring a friend along," Maya said, her voice pitched in that overly sweet tone she only used when flirting. She paused, laughing at whatever the person on the other end said. "Well, I hope you're as energetic as this when we actuall

Julian's pov. "What makes you think you're special?"Clara's smile disappeared almost immediately, as she slowly lowered her hand.The playful look on her face turned into a frown before she forced a small chuckle. "Oh, come on, Julian," she said, leaning back and resting her hands on her lap."I know you've been under a lot of stress lately with the company. You're just busy.""Being busy doesn't mean I want unexpected visitors interrupting my workday, Clara," I said firmly. She stiffened slightly, her eyes searching my face for what I couldn't quite figure out.But I knew, this wasn't the reaction she had planned for. She glanced down at her red dress, then back at me with a deeper frown. "Are you angry with me?"she asked softly, her voice dropping into that quiet soft tone she usually used when she wanted me to comfort her.I didn't answer right away. My eyes shifted to the bouquet of red roses resting right on top of my desk. A week ago, I might have thought it was a sweet
