[Asher] I sat still, with my laptop sprawled on my desk when a knock came on my office door. James walked in and I had to straighten up to stare at him as he made his way in and settled across from me. Of course, I heard most of their conversation from here but I had to turn it off because why the hell was hearing Elena's voice messing with my head? Why exactly was hearing her talk so professional making my skin prickle with warmth? This was just to show her that she isn't smart. She has to know that she doesn't get to choose people to work for. The fact that James left millions of decorators across the world and suggested her, then she has no right to decline the offer. She didn't just meet Raphael once at his office but ended up going to a restaurant with him and that wasn't fucking all? She had followed him to one of the biggest properties and I didn't need to be told that it was a project she was going to be handling for him. So what gave her the guts to decline working for L

[Elena]"Miss Elena, he just approved the proposal and said he even said he'll double the amount you stated. He said you can go ahead and forward the contract." Aurora's word made me raise my head from my laptop."You mean Mr James?" I asked and she nodded, pulling out a chair across from mine.I chuckled, my hand hovering over my laptop. "Tell him I’d like us to stick to the amount I proposed. Once he’s okay with that, you can go ahead and send the contract."Elena stared at me her brow creasing. "Are we going to reject his generosity?""We have rules Aurora and you know that.""We sure do." She cleared her throat and picked up her laptop making her way out.I chuckled and my eyes immediately shifted to my phone as it buzzed beside me.I stared at the caller ID and my heart skipped.I swallowed, biting down on my lower lip as I picked up the call. "Mr Thorne.""I'm right at the building, I'll let my assistant come by you." "You don't have to worry about that. I'll be right out in a

[Elena]My eyes went wide the moment that word left Mrs Thorne's lips.My eyes darted to Raphael, he was seated with his legs crossed, his eyes fixed on mine with a smile playing on his lips."Of course not Mrs. Thorne, this is just about work and nothing more." Mrs Thorne smiled as she stared from her son to me and then back and forth again."Are you sure about that?" She asked and I nodded immediately."I'm one hundred percent sure Mrs Thorne."She stared at me for more than a second with her brow creased but she ended up nodding.My eyes shifted back to Raphael and the young man still had his eyes fixed on me, sitting casually."So Elena, about why my son brought you, I already made him understand that I wouldn't want to touch a thing in that property, he will not understand how that space means to me, and touching a thing in it would leave a hole and that is what I do not want."I listened carefully as she told me the reasons why she wouldn't want the house touched. According to

[Elena]I stepped out of the cab, letting my bag rest lightly on my shoulder. The building in front of me was tall and sleek, all glass and steel, with Crestwood Holdings engraved above the entrance. It looked official, the kind of place that made you pause for a moment before stepping inside."Miss Elena," a familiar voice called, and I turned to see James walking toward me, suit crisp and posture professional as always. "Good to see you here.""Same here," I replied, offering a small smile."You have to come with me," he said, and I fell in step behind him. The lobby was quiet, clean, and professional. We reached the elevators, and he pressed the button, then gestured for me to step inside.The ride was short, and when the doors opened, I followed him down a long corridor to a polished office. He motioned toward a chair by the desk."Please, have a seat," James said. "The boss will be here shortly to finalize the payment with you."I stared at him my brow creasing together. "The bos

[Elena]"Tell me you're joking right now!" Natalia snapped on the phone.My jaw clenched, my fingers dug into my palms as I stared at the screen. "I wish I were joking. That's exactly what happened.""That fucking psychopath. What the hell does he want from you?""I asked the bastard the same question. I fucking asked him. I could have read the signs Nat, I could have. Even Aurora noticed that something was wrong with the man. The way he was just so eager to work with us. And trying to make everything round up as soon as possible."Natalia scoffed, her hand dragging over her face. "You don't get to blame yourself. There's no way you could have known that he was the one behind it.""Nat, you needed to see how he was trying to act oblivious. But it was written all over his face that he knew about this.""His ego was bruised that you refused to work for Langston Holdings. That's the only way I can explain this madness. Because he could clearly get any decorator he wants so why you?""I r
