Chapter 11

Elizabeth’s POVTwo days had passed since my little drop-in at Victor’s office. I hadn’t gone back, nor had I bothered sending him the time and place for our dinner. But that didn’t mean the dinner was canceled. He could learn to wait. Besides, the moment I’d stepped back into my own office that afternoon, I’d been treated to yet another exhausting lecture from my father. According to my secretary, Janet, Dad had asked Mr. Gallagher if he’d managed to get a hold of me. And Gallagher, being the spineless coward he was, told my father the absolute truth. Or rather, his twisted version of it. He actually had the nerve to claim I’d thrown him out, whimpering about how he’d only wanted to "properly discuss" the disastrous port meeting that never happened. Please. Who was the real idiot who stood me up in the first place? Him. Because he’d rather stroke Victor’s ego than respect my time. So why was I the one taking the heat from my father when Gallagher should have been the one on his

Elizabeth’s POV***I walked toward their table and stopped directly behind Victor just as he was speaking. One by one, the men seated around him turned to look at me.I offered them my sweetest smile."Hi, gentlemen. Can I join?" I asked, still wearing a grin that stretched from ear to ear.The moment the words left my mouth, Victor turned.I watched his blue eyes widen the instant they landed on me. A flicker of surprise crossed his features—quick, involuntary, and deeply satisfying."Oh, hi, Victor!" I said brightly, as though we were old friends reuniting after years apart. "It's so nice seeing you again. How are you?"I placed my hand on his shoulder as I spoke, letting my fingers press lightly against the fabric of his suit. I even gave it a gentle squeeze.He shot up from his chair so fast it nearly toppled backward.Something warm and triumphant bloomed inside my chest. For one brief, unguarded second, I caught it—a flash of emotion rushing across his face before he could mask

Chapter 13

Elizabeth's POV***He actually told me that while he prefers an attractive woman, physical beauty isn't enough unless he can see a deeper kind of beauty beneath the surface.Huh? What kind of beauty was that crazy guy talking about? Is there any other kind of beauty besides a striking face? As far as I'm concerned, all men are essentially the same.They want beautiful women, and they brag about it like a trophy—like it’s some kind of status symbol.That’s why I’m convinced that what Victor said to me at the restaurant wasn't what he truly meant. Did he really think I would fall for that?Right now, I'm already in my room, fresh out of the shower. After our conversation at the restaurant, Victor asked if someone was picking me up. Naturally, I told him no, since I brought my own car.I wasn't even with Mr. Peter when I arrived, because my real purpose for going there wasn't a "dinner with Victor"—it was just to pick up a takeout order of steak.Still, it turned out to be a good

Chapter 14

Elizabeth's POV *** Days after preparing the most awaited bomb that I was going to use, something came up. Janet suddenly broke the news to me about an important event that I had no idea was actually pushing through. It had been planned for months and had been canceled several times because of frequent changes in the guest list. One of the main agitators behind those cancellations was Marcus, simply because he refused to invite Victor Samaniego—one of the people he despised the most. That man hated having any competition whatsoever. He even viewed my dad as a rival just because his business was thriving. So I never understood where Marcus got the nerve to try and court me when he was actively fighting my own father in the business industry. Marcus was the epitome of arrogance. That was why it came as a surprise that the event was suddenly back on. Actually, this was one of the opportunities to meet Victor again—not by inviting him to dinner, but you know? Getting to know hi
