Since Grandpa Hale’s banquet, the news of their wedding date had spread like wildfire, and the buzz hadn’t died down.

Nina clicked her tongue. “They say men think with their junk, but honestly, you’re better than Chloe in both looks and figure. Was Ethan really not addicted to you at all?”

heart.

An inexplicable sense of irritation flared in Ethan’s chest. “Grab your things. We’re having a meeting upstairs.”

Mia had just finished her work and was planning to head home. Now, it looked like there was no hope of clocking out. She gathered her materials and followed Ethan.

The company was eerily quiet. Their footsteps echoed in the hallway, their shadows intertwining on the floor.

A problem had cropped up with an overseas project, and Ethan had been forced to return to the office to handle t. The meeting lasted for three hours. Mia felt her mind go blank several times, unable to process what was being

Leaning forward as if she were reading, she squinted her eyes, trying to take a quick nap to ease her exhaustion. But the moment her eyes closed, the tight string in her mind snapped, and she fell straight into a deep sleep.

Her head suddenly dropped toward the desk with a heavy ‘thud.

Just as her forehead was about to slam into her laptop, a hand with long, distinct fingers reached out, catching her

Her chin rested in the crook of Ethan’s thumb, her cheek squeezed into a little bun by his fingers. Her shallow, hot breath fanned over his skin, sending a tingling sensation crawling through his hand and straight to his heart.
