The room slowly filled up. One after the other, representatives from different companies walked in, taking their seats. Voices were low. Controlled. Professional. Then, The door opened again. She didn’t look up immediately. She was already going through her notes, calm as ever. But across the room Someone noticed her. Kael stepped in, his eyes landing on her almost instantly. He stopped for just a second. Something about her felt… Familiar. He couldn’t place it yet. But he didn’t look away. Not immediately Then he took his seat. Quiet. Observing. “Let’s begin.” Her voice cut clean through the room. Everyone settled. Attention shifted fully to her. She stood up, walking toward the screen behind her Confident. Steady Untouchable. “This partnership isn’t just about expansion,” she started. “It’s about positioning.” The screen lit up. Charts. Figures. Clear direction. “You already have influence,” she continued. “What you don’t have is speed. And right n

“Excuse me.”She had just taken a few steps when his voice stopped her again.She turned.Kael was looking at her closely now, like he was trying to solve something.“Do I know you from somewhere?” he asked. “You look familiar.”She paused.Then a small smile appeared.“Oh… yeah,” she said lightly. “We met before.”His brows pulled together. “When?”“Early last year.”He thought for a second.ThenHis eyes widened slightly.“The airport?”She nodded.A little amused now.“Oh,” he let out a short breath, almost like a laugh. “So you’re the lady that bumped into me… and was kind of rude.”Her smile widened.“Kind of?” she repeated. “I remember you being more dramatic than that.”He actually laughed this time.That surprised even him.“Wow,” he said, shaking his head slightly. “I didn’t expect this.”“Same,” she replied. “I didn’t know you were… this big.”He raised a brow. “This big?”“You know,” she said casually, gesturing slightly, “the bodyguards, the serious face, the whole ‘don’t

Lunch didn’t end quickly. It stretched. Not because either of them planned it But because neither of them seemed in a hurry to leave. The conversation had shifted now. Less teasing. More… intentional. Kael leaned back slightly, his fingers resting against the table as he watched her. “You handle business like you’ve been doing it for years,” he said. She didn’t look surprised. “I learn fast.” “That’s not just learning,” he replied. “That’s experience.” She picked up her glass, taking a small sip before answering. “Or observation.” He didn’t respond immediately. Just watched her. Again. Like he was trying to read between her words. “So,” he continued, “your company… it’s growing fast.” “It has to,” she said. “No fear of expanding too quickly?” She shook her head slightly. “If you know what you’re doing, speed isn’t a problem.” “And if something goes wrong?” She placed her glass down gently. “Then I fix it.” Simple. Direct. No hesitation. A small silence fol

The morning started like every other day.Early.Focused.Controlled.By the time she got to the office, her schedule was already full.Meetings.Calls.Decisions.Everything lined up perfectly.The morning moved fast.One meeting after another.No delays.No mistakes.By noon, she was already back in her office, going through files like nothing else existed.That was her world.Work first.Always.A soft knock came on the door.“Come in,” she said without looking up.Her assistant walked in.“Ma’am, you have two guests.”She paused.Slowly.Then looked up.“I don’t remember scheduling any.”“You didn’t,” her assistant replied.Her expression hardened slightly.“I’m not seeing anyone.”“They said it’s from… an anonymous sender.”A small pause.She leaned back slightly.Thinking.Anonymous?She didn’t like that.At all.But“Let them in,” she said finally.A few seconds later, two men walked in.Formal.Respectful.Quiet.One of them stepped forward and placed a neatly wrapped box on h

The gala was already alive.Lights filled the grand hall, reflecting off crystal chandeliers that hung high above like stars. Soft music played in the background, blending with quiet conversations and occasional laughter.It was the kind of place where power moved silently.Where every smile meant something.Where every presence was noticed.And tonightOne man stood out more than the rest.Kael Hawthorne.He stood near the entrance, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a glass he hadn’t touched.Calm.Still.Untouchable.People noticed him the moment he arrived.Of course they did.They always did.A few approached him earlier.Some tried to start conversations.Others just greeted him out of respect.But he didn’t stay long in any of it.Short replies.Simple nods.Nothing more.Because his attention wasn’t there.It was on the entrance.Waiting.“You don’t usually wait for people.”The voice came from behind him.Kael didn’t turn immediately.“I’m not waiting,” he replied calm
