Working With My Ex Again Chapter 21: Let's go shopping
"Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!"Isla stirred from her sleep but didn't move otherwise, her body still heavy with exhaustion."Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!"The knock grew more persistent by the minute, echoing through the quiet apartment like it had a personal vendetta against her peace.Who is that? Isla thought. Couldn't they get a hint?She buried her face deeper into her pillow in order to block out the noise, but it still grew persistent, almost rhythmic now, like whoever was on the other side had made a hobby of it.Still with her eyes closed, she searched blindly for her phone on the bed, her hand patting around until she found it tangled somewhere near her blanket. She turned it on, squinting against the brightness of the screen.11:50 in the morning.She had slept for how many hours? Five. She had only woken up earlier to do her morning routine when Eliza decided that she was awake and no one else was supposed to be sleeping, typical Eliza energy, loud and unapologetic before noon.
Working With My Ex Again Chapter 20: I've lost my appetite
Isla left his office lost in thoughts, the joy of seeing him laugh long gone. The hallway felt longer than usual, the familiar hum of the office fading into background noise as her heels clicked against the marble floor. She barely registered the curious glances from her colleagues as she passed, her mind somewhere else entirely.Why did she want to see her?She reached her door and pushed it open, stepping in, then paused.Nate was standing in the middle of her office, a frown marring his perfectly sculpted face. His arms were crossed and his jaw was set, but the moment their eyes met, something shifted in his expression. Almost imperceptibly. Almost."Why are you in my office?" Isla asked, surprised."What happened??" He asked. When Isla showed signs that she wasn't understanding his point, he cleared his throat."Mmmm." Then continued. "I mean between Darian and you.""Oh, is that it?" She sighed, dropping her folder onto the desk. "Weren't you in your office?" She asked, giving hi

"Yes."Of course there was.He opened the file, flipping through it at an unhurried pace that felt deliberate, almost calculated. Her fingers curled slightly at her side as she stood there, waiting, the seconds stretching just enough to feel intentional."This section," he said finally, tapping lightly on the page. "Explain your projections."Her gaze dropped briefly before returning to him. "They’re outlined in the report.""Explain them."Her jaw tightened."They’re built on projected market elasticity and phased expansion over three quarters...."His eyes were focused on his laptop, when she stopped, he looked up. When Isla got his attention, she continued."...The first assumes a 12% growth rate based on last year’s consumer response patterns, while the second adjusts for seasonal volatility in Q2, which typically impacts procurement cycles.""The third scenario?" He asked."The th

Isla was left alone with her thoughts, every thing that happened in the office came flooding back to her. Then she forced herself to continue eating."Ma'am, are you alright?" A waiter who was passing asked."I'm fine." Sher replied but she was screaming internally that she wasn't.How would I face him? Should I bring it up? Or should I tell him it was a mistake?? Her boss sure held grudges.. he wouldn't let it slide. All these and many other thoughts were running through her mind the same time.Her phone buzzed just as she took a sip.Darian Blackwell.Isla stared at it for a second… then picked up."Isla Mercer""Where are you" he asked directly."I'm having lunch." She replied."Interesting. Because the quarterly file you submitted is incomplete." Came his voice after a slight pause.Her brows pulled slightly. "It's not...""You're implying that I don't know what I'm saying
Working With My Ex Again Chapter 17: Nothing Happened
For the entire time Isla was in the elevator, her mind wouldn't stop racing.What just happened??She stared at her reflection in the mirrored doors and her reflection stared back at her and they were both in agreement that what had just happened was, there wasn't a word for it. Or maybe there was.I don't like him. She said it to herself clearly, firmly, as it she was trying to convince herself, which she clearly was.He is a controlling, insufferable, raccoon-adjacent man who made me sort forty-nine documents and won't let my best friend into the building and I do not, in any configuration of reality, like him.She touched her mouth then took it away immediately.That, she told herself, was adrenaline. The slap produced adrenaline. The adrenaline produced... The doors opened.Ryan was standing in the lobby, having apparently been let in at some point, and he took one look at her and his eyes went very wide."W

The sound echoed louder than it should. No one moved. Darian didn't either. He didn't turn away.He sat very still behind his desk, and he looked at her, his eyes were darker than before. The expression on his face was something else entirely.And Isla stood there, breathing, hand still raised slightly, with the sudden acute awareness that she was in very, very deep trouble."Everyone out," he whispered, voice low and commanding, and somehow everyone in the floor heard him.Yet chairs scraped almost immediately, footsteps rushed, and within seconds, the entire floor emptied. Only then did he touch his cheeks.The air crackled between them, thick with unspoken words and tension that had been building ever since she first set foot in the office. Isla's heart raced as she locked eyes with him, the billionaire CEO who had made her life a living hell. She hated him. She had spent countless hours in meetings, rolli
