Eleanor POVI froze for a few long seconds, staring at the man in front of me in pure shock.What was he doing here?And why now, of all times?Did he see me with Mr. Julian Blackwood in that suspicious position?Heat crawled up my neck. I felt exposed.His car windows were tinted, yes. But in that exact moment, I had rolled down my window. Anyone outside could see clearly.How the hell was I supposed to explain that?“Eleanor?”“Huh?”I snapped out of my thoughts when he tapped his finger against the glass. His voice was soft, but firm.“I’ve been talking to you for a while. You were spacing out. Is everything okay?”I had been lost in my head. Completely. I hadn’t even realized he was speaking to me until now.I nodded with a small smile, trying to reassure him, then walked toward him with steady steps until I stood right in front of him.“It’s nothing. I just missed you, Martin.”I pouted at the end, pushing out my lower lip, trying to distract him from what he might have seen. Try

 Eleanor Vance POV I snapped out of my thoughts when Ivy called my name sharply, “What are you daydreaming about, girl?” My cheeks turned red. Heat spread through my whole body because of those dirty thoughts I had just imagined. I quickly shook my head. “Nothing. What were you saying?” “I was asking what happened outside. We saw some very intense looks that almost burned through us.” I knew right away she meant Julian’s gaze. I was surprised they could feel it from that far away. What about me, who was standing right next to him?I didn’t just feel it. I melted from the heat of it inside me. “Nothing. Julian came back to give me my work ID that I dropped at the party last night.” “Then why were you in his car be

Eleanor POVI finished my work at the company and hurried back home to get ready for my date with Mr. Julian. The time of our meeting was getting closer fast. Only thirty minutes left before he would pass by my house to pick me up.I stood in front of the mirror, fixing my three piece outfit. Two of them were the same color. My soft pink blazer and matching skirt, and underneath, a smooth white blouse.I styled my hair and let it fall over my shoulders. A light touch of makeup. I finished my look with pink lipstick and wore white high heels. I grabbed my white handbag and headed downstairs to wait for his call.The moment I stepped down, my phone rang. It was him.I said a quick goodbye to my sister and grandma, then rushed outside. I could already guess how much he hated being late or having his time wasted. And I definitely did not want to end up shoved into the corner of the car because of it.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my confidence, and walked straight toward his car

Eleanor POVI tore the dress off in frustration and let it fall to the floor. I stared at it, almost sad. I really liked it.What the hell was wrong with my dress anyway?My poor dress. Looks like we were never meant to be.I sighed and glanced at the other gowns. The one I had worn before was modest compared to half the dresses hanging in front of me. If that was his reaction to something that tame, I could not even imagine what he would do if I walked out in the next one I had picked.I swear he would kill me.I took three revealing dresses and set them aside. Better to avoid his temper.I picked the last one. Long. Puffy. The fabric was so soft it slipped through my fingers like silk water. Short embroidered sleeves curved gently over my shoulders. It looked dreamy. Like something a Disney princess would wear.I put it on.But I could not zip it up. The zipper at the back was longer than the last dress, and my hands could not reach it properly.I tried again. And again.Failed ever
