Chapter 11

Aria“Why did I open my mouth?” I groaned, dropping my forehead onto the conference table. “If I had just stayed quiet…”“…I’d be peacefully drinking coffee at my desk instead of chasing a hundred-million-dollar tender.”“Too late now.” Ryan burst into laughter. “I told you she’d regret it.” Lily tossed a sticky note at me. “Stop being dramatic.” “You wanted a challenge.” “Congratulations.” “You got one.”I sighed dramatically. “I should’ve let Mr. Collins present his boring PowerPoint.”Adam clutched his chest. “Don’t say that.” “I was about to fall asleep just looking at his slides.”The room erupted in laughter. Despite my complaints…A smile found its way onto my face.The city was still asleep when I arrived at Blackwood International. The lobby lights had only just been switched on. Even the security guard looked surprised to see me. “Morning, Miss Bennett.”“Morning.” I glanced at my watch.6:12 a.m.Perfect. I unlocked the project room and immediately got to work. Within an hour

Chapter 12

The last thing I remembered was telling myself I'd close my eyes for "just five minutes."Apparently... Five minutes had turned into the entire night.My head rested on the conference table, surrounded by scattered files and half-empty coffee cups.A soft knock echoed through the room. No response. Damien stepped inside. His eyes slowly swept across the mess before finally settling on me."So..." A barely audible smile touched his voice. "This is where my project leader disappeared." He walked closer.A loose strand of hair had fallen across my face, hiding half of it. Without thinking... His fingers gently brushed the strand away, tucking it behind my ear.For a brief second... He looked at me quietly. His voice was little more than a whisper. "...Miss Bennett." A faint smile escaped him."Stubborn," he murmured under his breath. His eyes fell to the phone lying beside my hand. The screen lit up. Granny Calling... The call ended. A second later... It rang again. He frowned.Without w

ARIA"And if you ever stay out all night again, you'll have to deal with your granny's slipper, like me.”By the time I reached home, the front door flew open before I could even ring the bell. "There you are!" Granny stood with her hands on her hips."Do you know how worried I was?" I smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry, Granny.""Sorry?" She lightly smacked my arm. "I called you twenty-three times!""I know..." "I fell asleep at the office." Granny's eyes widened. "You what?" I quickly hugged her."I'm fine." "Nothing happened." She pulled away and cupped my face. "You work to live, child." "You don't live to work."A lump formed in my throat. "I'm sorry." She sighed. "Come inside." "I made your favourite dinner." A smile finally returned to my face."You're the best." "I know," she replied proudly. "But don't think dinner means you're forgiven." I laughed for the first time that day.After dinner, exhaustion took over. Within minutes of lying on my bed... I was asleep. Completely unaware

Friday.The day I had been waiting for. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusted my white blazer, and smiled. "This is it."Granny walked into my room carrying a glass of milk. "I have a feeling today is going to be your day." I hugged her tightly. "I hope so." She kissed my forehead. "Go make us proud.""I will, Granny."The bus was unusually crowded. I checked the time. 8:15 AM. Still enough time. Suddenly...BANG! The bus jerked violently before coming to a stop. Passengers screamed. The driver sighed loudly. "Everyone, please get off.""The tyre has burst." My heart dropped. "No..." I looked at my watch again. The meeting would begin in less than forty minutes. I stepped onto the road and looked around desperately. Every taxi was occupied.Meanwhile... At the Orion Convention Centre... Every seat in the conference hall was occupied. Representatives from Blackwood International sat on one side. Kingston Group occupied the other.The clients entered. Damien glanced toward the door.

I looked at the screen where Kingston's presentation had just ended. I smiled. "Thank you." "I won't waste your time talking about what you've already seen."I plugged in my USB drive. A new slide appeared. Then I looked at the Orion board. "Someone copied my presentation.""But..." "They couldn't copy the person who created it." A murmur swept through the room. "But I learned something a long time ago." "Never keep your best idea where everyone can see it."I clicked the remote. "So, allow me to show you..." "...what I was actually planning to present.After showing my work, the room remained completely still. Then. One of the Orion board members leaned forward."Miss Bennett..." "Did you prepare this presentation yourself?" I said politely,"Yes, sir."He nodded thoughtfully. "The strategy is impressive." Another director spoke. "You anticipated problems that no one else even mentioned."A third smiled. "And your cost analysis is far more practical than the previous proposal."The Ki

The moment I stepped through the front door, I couldn't stop smiling. "Granny!" I dropped my bag on the sofa and ran toward her.Before she could even ask what happened, I wrapped my arms around her. "We did it!" Granny nearly lost her balance. "Aria! What happened to you?"I pulled back, laughing. "I won the contract!" Her eyes widened. "What contract?"I grabbed both her hands and started jumping like a little kid. "The Orion contract!" "The biggest contract of the year!"Granny stared at me for a second. Then her face broke into a huge smile. "My girl!" She pulled me into another hug. "I knew you could do it."I laughed. "Granny, you should have seen their faces!" "Kingston Group had the same presentation they stole from me.""Stole?" Granny frowned"Yes! But they didn't know I had kept my real idea." I pointed at myself proudly. "Your granddaughter's brain saved Blackwood International today."Granny laughed. "Look at you." "You sound like a CEO already." I gasped dramatically. "M

Chapter 17

Damien picked up his car keys from the desk. "Get your things. You're coming with me." he said.I looked up from my laptop. "Where are we going?" I asked. "We have a client meeting," Damien replied."Today?" I asked, pointing at myself. "Yes. You." I stared at him for a moment. "Do I get a choice?" "No," he said simply.I rolled my eyes. "Wow. Such a caring boss." Damien gave me a flat look. "You'll survive." I grabbed my bag and followed him.A few minutes later, we were on the road. Damien drove with his usual serious expression, both eyes on the road.I looked out the window for a while before turning toward him. "How long will it take us to get there?" I asked. "About an hour and a half," Damien answered.My eyes widened. "An hour and a half?""Yes." "You asked how long," he replied. "You could've warned me." "I thought you were going to say thirty minutes," I complained.Damien glanced at me briefly. "Why would I say thirty minutes when it takes ninety?" I frowned. "You're very l
