Davina pov.Sebastian's gaze moved from me to Alex who was already seated on the edge of the table with his hands crossed above his chest and his face directed towards the ground. “I’m here to meet–”“I never asked you anything,” I cut him short and I clicked my tongue before turning back to Alex. “Hey,” I called to him, and he raised his head with a furrowed eyebrow, but I overlooked it. “I’m heading towards Mr. Hernandez’s office so when I'm out, lock the door and take this visitor somewhere else other than my office,” I added with a scowl before walking out of the office without sparing Sebastian a glance. As I walked away from the office, I felt Sebastian's eyes bore into me. I was not the type to think about what was not, so I turned back only to see that I was correct, and that irritated me the more, making me walk out of the building. “Alexander Campbells, Sebastian Campbell.” I exhaled towards the sky and I used my hand to shield my eyes from the sun. “Bunch of bastards.”

Davina pov.“What did you tell him?" I came to a halt when I reached Alex, who was about to leave my office, and I rubbed my temples. “What did I tell you about taking him out of my office if you guys want to have your conversation?" His mouth parted, indicating that he was about to answer the first question I asked before I threw the second one at him.“About ten minutes ago, you acted like you were not concerned with anything that had to do with him," Alex leaned on the wall and folded his arms above his chest. “And now you're looking curious, care to tell me what happened?" “As you can see, I have a lot of work to do," I transferred my gaze from him to the heap of files that were in my hand. “So I don't have time for questions." “Then shouldn't you be doing that?" His brows furrowed, and his eyes were still on the files in my hand. “Trust me, you should be doing nothing else but that.”He was at it again, speaking to me with emotion in his voice, like he cared, only for him to a

Sebastian pov“Why are you not waiting till Saturday?” The soft clattering sound the plate made could be heard along with Lily's voice and Sebastian raised his head to look at her. “What's that?” He asked as he looked around before his eyes finally dropped on Lily who smiled. “You usually announce a family dinner after every deal is signed, and we do that on Saturdays,” her voice was soothing, and she smiled again after looking at him. “But we are having one today, on a Tuesday.”“Oh, about that,” he muttered under his breath and shook his head. “Nah, this is not a celebration for signing one or something, it's just me having this feeling that we are close to something good.”There was silence after he spoke and the sign Lily showed revealed that she understood, but she seemed disappointed in a way or two. “Although I'm close to that, it'll only take a while but two weeks at max,” he added with a knowing smile, and Courtney held his hand.“It's only a matter of time.” She turned to

Davina povImmediately Jane asked that question, I froze, with my hands mid-air but she just arched an eyebrow. “It’s just a question though,” she stated with a nonchalant shrug. “And just like as we both know, not all questions deserve to be answered.”But even after she continued what she was doing, I could not take my eyes off her. “You are joking right?” I asked with a hint of sarcasm in my voice. “Like you don't mean it right?”Jane turned to me with a smirk, her eyes narrowing as they locked onto mine. “It’s just a question,” she said casually, “but I swear there’s a spark between you two.”I scoffed, rolling my eyes. “God, you've been here for like two days and you’re already playing matchmaker? Seriously?”She shrugged, unbothered. “I asked if you wanted to call him, and you said yes without even blinking.” She paused, clearly watching my reaction like a hawk. “Tell me that is not suspicious.”“I don't remember me saying anything like I want to call him,” I objected with my

Davina pov“What's wrong here?” My voice made the two of them break the eye contact that they made since forever, but it was only for a short period of time since they turned toward one another again.“Do you by any chance, know him?” I asked Jane who shook her head.“I don't know yet,” her voice was barely audible and she turned to me. “But I have this feeling that he's the one.”Tom leaned on the wall with both of his hands in his pocket. “Honestly, I don't know her either; I mean, the first time I saw her was on Friday, so how do you expect me to know her?” My gaze drifted to his neck, where I instinctively sought out the pulse point but to my surprise, it beat steadily, a normal rhythm that belied any signs of deception. If he was lying, I expected his pulse would be racing, but it seemed calm and controlled. I wondered if the distance between us was masking any subtle signs, or if he was just a professional when it comes to telling lies. “Tell me you're not lying,” I voiced o
