My school crush and my one-night stand... and now he is my boss? I kept staring at him. I swallowed hard, trying to force my heart to stop hammering in my chest.
Damien lifts his gaze from the tablet in front of him. Sharp. Cold. Dangerous. And then a flicker of recognition passes in his eyes. It's quick, but it is just enough to make my breath catch. He doesn't smile. He doesn't even look surprised.
"Well," he says, his voice low and controlled, "this should be interesting."
I want to say something, anything, but all I can think of is that night his touch, his kiss... the way he made me feel like I was the only person in the room. But now? Now, he looks at me like he barely recognizes me.
"I... I'm Aria Richardson. The new assistant manager. I was told to report to the CEO directly," I said, trying my best not to show the tension curling inside me like a clenched fist.
He doesn't stand. Doesn't smile. Just leans back in his chair with a bored expression.
"I know who you are."
My fingers tense around the folder in my hand. Of course he remembers. How could he not?
But his face is unreadable, like that night never happened. Is he playing with me?
He finally stands up, tall and imposing in his suit. He walked slowly around the desk. His presence is overwhelming cold, controlled, and sharp.
"Let's get one thing clear, Miss. Richardson. Whatever happened before doesn't matter. This is business. Don't mix it up. I don't like it." His voice was cold and commanding.
I'm here to do this job, nothing more. My goal is clear to keep my secrets buried, protect my brother. That's the only thing that matters. The only thing that should be on my mind. Not him. Not the past. Not whatever this strange ache in my chest is.
I used to dream about this man. Now I'm working for him, pretending he doesn't make my skin crawl and my heart ache.
"I'll stay professional, Mr. Laurier. You have my word."
I know my life is going to change and god knows how it will end this time.
