The scandal involving Christine and Rick has caused quite a stir. But I’ve taken steps to address it.”“I’m aware,” Mark said, his tone measured. “And I appreciate your swift action. However, Christine’s name is still being dragged through the mud because of Rick’s actions. I need your help to clear her reputation.”Carl frowned. “Mr. Johnson, I sympathize with Christine, but the situation is complicated. Eva Carter’s involvement has made things… delicate.”Mark’s jaw tightened at the mention of Eva. “I understand, but Christine had no part in Rick’s misconduct.

His hand slid to the back of her neck, pulling her closer, deepening the kiss.Eva’s pulse raced, her hands reaching up to grip the front of his shirt, her fingers fisting the fabric as though afraid he would pull away. But he didn’t. He deepened the kiss, his lips moving with increasing urgency, as though he couldn’t get close enough. He was gentle, yet commanding, as if every moment of restraint he’d held onto for so long was unraveling in this single, electrifying kiss.The world around them seemed to fade. There was no boardroom, no corporate games, no family drama. There was only him, only her. The way his lips pressed against hers, the heat of his body against hers, the way his touch made her forget everything else. She felt his fingers

No one dared to make a sound, and even the faintest shuffle of paper seemed deafening in the silence.They were waiting. Waiting for him.The door opened, and Damien Cross strode in, his presence commanding the room instantly. Dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit with a crisp white shirt and a dark tie, he radiated an aura of power and authority that made even the most seasoned executives feel small. His sharp jawline and piercing dark eyes, cold and calculating, scanned the room with a precision that seemed to strip away any pretense or façade.“Good morning, Mr. Cross,” The executive greeted him.Shane, who was standing at his side and handed him a leather-bound folder.

Christine lounged on her couch, her manicured fingers scrolling absentmindedly through social media, her eyes darting between glowing praise and thinly veiled criticisms in the comments. The scandal with Director Rick was still stirring up whispers, and while Mark was working to control the narrative, it was impossible to ignore the cracks forming in her carefully curated image.Her phone buzzed, breaking her thoughts. It was Tanya, her manager. With a sigh, she answered.“What is it, Tanya?” Christine asked, her tone clipped.“Christine, I just got a call from President Adolf’s office,” Tanya said hurriedly, her voice carrying a hint of panic. “He wants to meet with you today. He didn’t specify the reason, but I can guess it’s about the... scandal.”Christine’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Fine. Schedule it. I’ll go.”“It’s already set. He’s expecting you at BTG Industries in an hour.”Without another word, Christine hung up, her mind racing. If Adolf wanted to speak with her pers

But I’m always two steps ahead.”Damien smirked. “Remind me never to get on your bad side.”Eva chuckled. “You’re already on my good side, Mr. Cross.
