Chapter 20Shocking EncounterElena The office was a bustle of movement with people moving back and forth and the odd person answering a ringing phone. My head was spinning as I stared at the computer screen, trying to make sense of the figures. It'd been a few weeks, and I'd been swimming in figures every day. At first, Conor hadn't trusted me with the more detailed and important figures but a few setbacks had forced his hand and he'd given everything to me to proofread. And now? I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Now he was only too happy to dump everything on my desk. “Elena,” a voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned to see Conor striding towards me. But the expression on his face gave me pause. Was something wrong? I wondered, my heart skipping a beat and I wondered if I'd made any mistakes in the figures I'd quoted. The thought had barely crossed my mind when a sudden hush filled the office space. I craned my neck and spotted Clara, the CEO's secretary.

Chapter 22 In confusion Elena I felt the walls closing in on me as I walked through the hallways, a few files in hand. I was so disconcerted I nearly tripped over my feet. Damien was the CEO? The revelation crashed into me like a novelty and I felt my mind bubbling as shock coursed through me. What kind of shitty luck was this? I wondered, out of all the companies I ended up working for. I just had to pick Damien's company. Thoughts and questions filled my mind and I could feel a headache coming on as I tried to think of what to do next. What was I going to do? My mind was blank as I tried to piece my thoughts together. Damien was the CEO and he'd seen me, I didn't think he would just ignore me after he'd seen me. What if he told Albert? My heart stopped and I broke out into a cold sweat. I had to leave. Now! The thought spurred me into action and I quickened my pace and I headed back to my desk space. I couldn't think about Project Houston or whatever, I thought and a feeli

Chapter 24Audacity DamienThe soft chime of the elevator filled the small space as it ascended but my mood had never felt lower. Elena couldn't remember me. Could she even remember anything? My mind raced with thoughts as I replayed every moment, retwisting and rethinking it through. She'd not given anything away, not even a little to suggest this was an act. What'd happened to her? I wondered, a frown etched on my face. I'd begun having suspicions since I'd kissed her in my office but now I was completely sure, maybe not completely. I'd offered her those lucrative terms just to keep her around, keep her close to me where I could continuously observe her. I shook my head to clear my thoughts as the elevator doors slid open and I strode out. “Send a memo to all the directors,” I snapped, catching Clara's attention. “I want all their reports ready by tomorrow morning, including Howard.” “Yes sir,” Clara quickly wrote down some notes on that clipboard she seemed to carry everywh

Chapter 26Leap Of Faith ElenaOne step at a time, deep breaths, squared shoulders… you can do this Elena. I could, only that I couldn't believe I was really doing this. I was dressed in a black pencil gown and a white jacket, I kept my eyes down, avoiding the intense gazes I'd been receiving ever since I stepped out of the house. Was I nuts? I wondered as I walked into Harrington Enterprises and headed straight for the elevator. I couldn't believe I was doing this. I was coming back to work with Damien Landon, the man I'd been arranged to marry and had married until recently. I pressed the button for the top floor—Damien’s office, despite the growing unease I felt. I'd spent all night telling myself how and why I couldn't do this but the terms he'd offered had been enticing. Five times my current pay would be enough to comfortably take care of Lily and sort out a lot of other things. It hadn't been easy getting this job, I didn't want to lose it just like that. Not to add, I

Chapter 28Unforeseen CircumstancesDamien(Flashback_six months ago) It was barely eight am but I was already dressed and ready for work, the car was outside waiting for me. The house felt emptier as I strode downstairs, I hated having maids walking around the house so they usually came in when I'd left and cleaned the place before I came back. It'd been a day and I'd heard no news from Albert I thought, descending down the stairs. He hadn't sent word if he'd found Elena, I was beginning to think this was a lost cause. Maybe she didn't want to be found, I thought. I slid into the back seat and the driver drove me out of the estate and onto the main roads. Within half an hour we'd pulled up into my private parking space and minutes later I ascended my private elevator up to my office. Clara was busy with some documents when I walked in. I'd discovered her when she was only an intern, quick and sharp-witted. I'd employed her as my secretary and never regretted it, I paid he
