Quiana's POVBy nine forty-five on Monday morning, I had reviewed the Hunter Group project brief so many times that I could practically recite its requirements in my sleep.The client wanted a complete redesign of the executive floor of its headquarters, including the reception area, executive offices, boardroom, private lounge, and several conference rooms.I stood before the mirror in my bedroom, adjusting the cuffs of my cream blouse beneath the sleeves of my tailored jacket. My trousers matched the jacket, and a pair of black heels completed the outfit.

Laila was halfway through telling Mavris why he had absolutely no business giving people relationship advice when the café door opened and two familiar men walked in.She didn't notice them immediately but Mavris did.His hand stopped halfway to his mouth, a forkful of cake suspended in the air as his eyes narrowed at the entrance."Oh, you've got to be kidding me."Laila paused. "What?""Don't look now."Naturally, she looked.Chase had just stepped inside, checking his phone while Dwen walked beside him with the expression of a man who had already found three things to dislike about the day. They were talking about something, although Dwen appeared considerably less interested in the conversation than Chase.Laila recognized them from the previous encounter. Chase had been the one who apologized after his friend collided with Mavris, while Dwen was the reason an otherwise ordinary afternoon had turned into an argument neither man seemed willing to forget.Beside her, Mavris slowly l
