All Chapters of The Voss's undoing: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

He just stares at me, I don't know this man in front of me. He is a stranger, he's cold and unreadable. This man in front of me wasn't my Damian, he was foreign. This man in front of me couldn't be the man I'd been pining for the last six months. "I never said I wasn't." was all he replied Then it hits me, maybe it was all intentional, just maybe he didn't feel like reaching out to me. I mean since he was so wealthy he could have easily contacted me, even if he misplaced my contact, if he wanted to. Maybe all of it was just in my head, me thinking that it meant more, that maybe he liked me just like I liked him, but that was the problem, he didn't make any promises to me. But what about London, when he asked me to visit in London, what did that really mean. Did he want more or was he just teasing me? Either way, it doesn't matter anymore, I was just unlucky when it came to men, first it was Dean, now Damian. I really need to stay away from men forever, maybe I'll become a nun.

The ballroom no longer looked like an empty shell. Towering floral installations framed the entrance, lighting technicians adjusted crystal chandeliers suspended above the dance floor. The workers rolled in polished oak bars while decorators displayed different linen samples.I tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear and checked another item off my iPad."Centerpieces?""It will arrive at noon." one of the assistance responded."The orchestra?" I inquire again."They're doing a sound check at one.""Catering?""They're setting up in the east kitchen."I nod while reworking on my list."Perfect." I mumble. "One crisis down, roughly fifty left.""Good morning, boss."I look up and see Madison, one of the junior coordinators, grinning as she approached."I am not your boss." she hands me a notepad."You keep saying that, but everyone here keep asking you what to do."I give a dry laugh. That was because everyone else just disappeared. Donovan was supposed to be here too but he was no w

"I need every little detail." Eva beams as she ushers me into the apartment.I roll my eyes at her child like excitement. "So, who brought you home." she asks again, relaxing into the couch."It's Da...well Damian asked his driver to drop me off or maybe I should call him Mr Voss." my voice drips with sarcasm."Hold up, what Damian, the walk of shame guy, the one in Ibiza." she gushes "And how is he Mr Voss, wait, are they the same person." her eyes are wide with shock now.I nod my head, sinking deeper into the couch, wishing to just crawl into my bed."Cassie" she gives me a look."Eva" I mimic her, then groan inwardly."So, you know how I met Damian in Spain and how things got, well after mum had that accident, I left immediately to be with my mum. But I left my contact and requested that he reached me but he didn't, I don't think I was that important to him and now I find out that he's Mr Voss during the final meeting we had at Voss Global Holdings. Worst part is that he barely a

Later in the afternoon Katherine gathers everyone for a quick progress review. Everywhere buzzed with conversation as department heads discussed final timelines.Donovan interrupted halfway through."I still believe we're allocating too much attention to the scholarship segment."I open my mouth to respond but Damian spoke first."No." he said coolly, it looked like he was just walking by.Donovan turned."The scholarship recipients stay exactly where they are."He forces a smile. "I'm simply thinking about donor engagement.""So am I." Damian's voice remained calm."The donors are there because of those students."Katherine nods immediately. "I agree."Donovan looked around the room, but no one supported him, his expression hardens. "Very well."As the meeting ended, he corners me near the refreshment table."Congratulations." his voice drips with ice.A frown etched on my face. "For what?""You've become indispensable." he snares."What? What's that supposed to mean?""Don't flatter

The ballroom that had been filled with music, laughter, and hundreds of guests was now empty and quiet.The orchestra had packed away their instruments.Staff members moved quietly through the room, collecting the final pieces of a night everyone would remember.I stand near the entrance, watching the last of my team leave.Exhaustion finally settled over me all at once, but beneath it was pride, we had done it.I had done it."You're still here?"The familiar voice made me turn.My face brightens immediately.He stood near the entrance, hands tucked into the pockets of his dark coat."Matt.""You came." I crossed the room quickly to reach him."Of course I came.""I can't believe you actually made it, even though they've taken down most of the decor." I say again, this night just keeps getting better and better.He shrugs. "I promised that I'll be here, even if I was late. Well, here I am.""Obviously." I rolled my eyes then give him a warm hug."So, what do you think? How is it?" I
