The raised in Glenn's voice made everyone in the hall turn their heads towards her, sizing her with their eyes. The tension in the room reached its peak as Glenn's outburst echoed through the hall as Mr. Lincoln, maintaining his calm demeanor, responded, "Miss Carrell, do you have a problem working under Mrs. Curtis?"Gulping harshly, Glenn forced herself to hold her tongue as she stared intently at him. Her mouth opened, intending to respond, but no words would come out."If there's an issue, we will be glad to remove your name from the audition list. After all, the are many actresses that can play that role as you... even better." Mr. Lincoln explained, his gaze never leaving hers.'This bitch! Did she sleep with Flynn Molnar? Is that why she's being highly respected here?' Glenn thought, seething inside with jealousy. 'I am not going to allow you to win... Since you seem like a cat with nine lives, I will make sure to kill you all nine times if I have to.'"Miss Carrell, do we hav
The chopper touched down with a gentle thud, the rotor blades slowing to a halt as he emerged, the afternoon sun glinting off his aviators as Noah stepped out.Waiting at the airfield was Flynn, his old friend, who rushed forward the moment Noah's boots hit the tarmac."Hey, you!" Flynn exclaimed, wrapping Noah in a bear hug. "It's about time you showed up. You've been ghosting everyone for three months. It's great to have you back, man."Noah chuckled, returning the embrace. "What's this for?""For disappearing on us for three months, you goof," Flynn replied with a grin, patting Noah on the back. "Come on, let's get you to the hotel. Your son and wife are waiting."As they headed towards the waiting car, bodyguards trailing discreetly behind, Flynn turned to Noah with a curious expression. "So, why the sudden change of heart? Last I heard, Genevieve still doesn't know you're Dean. Don't you think you playing double identity would ruin things again?"Noah sighed, running a hand throu
Watching her brows furrow, Noah took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he was about to reveal. As he looked into Genevieve's eyes, he saw a mixture of confusion and nerviosness, and he knew that whatever he said next would change everything."Gen," Noah began, his voice steady but filled with emotion, "there's something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you a long time ago."Genevieve's glare deepened as she watched Noah, her heart rate quickening with a sense of foreboding. "What is it?... You're scaring me."Noah took a step closer to her, reaching out to gently grasp her hand. "I'm Dean Black."Genevieve's eyes widened in disbelief, and for a moment, she thought Noah was joking. But when she saw the seriousness in his expression, her laughter was bitter, tinged with betrayal. "Dean Black? The owner of FoxZ?" she exclaimed, pulling her hand away from his as if his touch burned her. "You're joking, right? This is some kind of sick prank?"Noah shook his head,
The air in the room seemed to crackle with tension as Genevieve's words hung heavy between them. Noah's mind raced, processing the weight of her request. To bury their past, their marriage, their love, and to start afresh as nothing more than boss and employee. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but he knew deep down that it was a small price to pay for the chance to redeem himself in her eyes."What about Leo... his health?" Noah's voice was tinged with concern, his eyes searching Genevieve's for reassurance.Genevieve's expression softened, a flicker of sadness passing through her gaze before she composed herself. "I know. Leo is a child. We can hide it from him and keep up the act of this marriage only for him until his health is back to normal, but everyone else doesn't need to partake in this lie. Let's just end it already." "And Glenn?""You have the power. Shut her up however you want, but I don't want the title of this fake marriage ruining my life any more than it already has.
"Call the security and ask them to escort her out of my building. Tell them to use force if needed." Noah's voice became colder, his patience wearing thin with Glenn's behavior.Mr. Lincoln hesitated, not wanting to resort to such drastic measures. "But Boss, wouldn't that be a bit extreme? She's just upset about losing her role—""No, Mr. Lincoln, it's not extreme. Glenn is causing a disturbance in my company, and I will not tolerate it. Remove her immediately," Noah interrupted, his tone leaving no room for argument."Let me talk to him!" Glenn said, reaching to grab the phone out of Mr. Lincoln's hands, but he pulled it away, shaking his head."I'm sorry, Glenn, but the boss has made his decision," Mr. Lincoln said firmly.Glenn's frustration boiled over, and she lunged for the phone again, but Mr. Lincoln held it out of her reach. "No, I won't let you do this! I demand to speak with him!"Suddenly, she reached over his desk to grab his tie, but he smacked it away, shouting, "Secur
As the door swings open, Mrs. Stark storms into her husband's luxurious office, her face flushed with anger. She slams the door behind her, causing Mr. Stark to look up from his work with a start. "What's the matter, dear?" Mr. Stark asks, concerned by his wife's sudden entrance and obvious agitation. "Genevieve is causing trouble for Glenn at FoxZ!" Mrs. Stark exclaims, pacing back and forth in front of his desk. "She's taking out her anger over her split from Noah on poor Glenn. I've had enough of her antics. I'm going to call Mr. Lincoln and have her fired immediately." Lowering his gaze, Mr. Stark listens to his wife's tirade, his expression thoughtful. "But dear, the past few months have been peaceful. What could have provoked Genevieve to act out like this? And I find it hard to believe that Mr. Lincoln would obey her without the involvement of Dean Black. Something doesn't add up." "Are you saying that Glenn would lie to me? The poor girl was devastated on the phone," Mrs. S
For the longest time, Genevieve and Noah sat in the hotel room, the tension between them palpable. The soft glow of the bedside lamp cast a warm light, creating a cocoon of tension around them. Genevieve fidgeted with the corner of a page from her script, her eyes fixed on the window where raindrops raced down the glass in erratic patterns. Noah, on the other hand, stared blankly at the floor, lost in his own thoughts.Just then, the sound of his ringtone interrupted their silence, and Noah immediately retrieved his phone from his pocket to check the screen. A scowl etched itself upon his features, and Genevieve couldn't help but notice."Are you going to answer it?" she asked hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper."It's not important," Noah shrugged, slipping his phone back into his pocket.Their eyes met, and at that moment, a thousand unspoken words passed between them. Genevieve could see the turmoil in Noah's eyes, the regret and the longing. She bit her bottom lip, holdin
Gently. Noah's hand squeezed her hips, his thumb rubbing circles into the fabric of Genevieve's skirt. His other arm wrapped securely around her waist, making her flush against him. They remained like that for a long moment, neither willing to break eye contact, until he finally let it out, "Can I kiss you?"Genevieve's breath hitched at Noah's question, her heart pounding in her chest. She searched his eyes, trying to decipher the emotions swirling within them. Uncertainty, longing, desire—all mirrored in his gaze.Her mind raced, torn between the pull of her feelings for Noah and the knowledge that this moment could change everything between them. But as she looked at him, at the vulnerability in his eyes, she knew that she couldn't resist him any longer."Don't" Genevieve mumbled, pulling back slightly."Don't what?" Noah's voice was barely a whisper, his breath mingling with hers, his lips so tantalizingly close.Genevieve's heart fluttered, torn between the desire to give in to
