Because Amelia had saved the Harrington patriarch’s life and helped with his recovery, Cyrus was polite, but skeptical.

“I bring myself,” Amelia replied. She wore a simple white dress, her dark hair flowing freely. Her smile was like winter sunlight, making Cyrus’s heart skip a beat.

Every time he saw her, it was a shock to the system. She was breathtaking–like a midnight poppy. beautiful yet potentially lethal.

Cyrus suppressed the flicker of excitement and let a hint of mockery touch his face. “In business, you can’t sleep your way to the top. Besides, you’re Sebastian’s fiancée. Do you really think I’d touch you?”

What’s going on in that head of yours?” Amelia rolled her eyes. She grabbed a piece of fruit from the table and started eating, treating his office like her own living room.

Partnering with me is a win–win. Selena might not have Sebastian’s raw power yet, but she’s the only laughter of the Thorne family. You know their background.”

The Thornes were old money with deep political roots. Harrison Thorne might keep a low profile, but his nfluence reached into every corner of the country. Even Sebastian wouldn’t cross him lightly.

More importantly, after the disaster with Silas, Cyrus was desperate to clean up the Harrington Groups mage. Selena’s family background was the ultimate seal of approval.

True,” Cyrus admitted. “But if I unilaterally break with Sebastian, I’ll lose half my company in penalties t’s a net loss, Amelia.”

Don’t worry about that. Have you ever heard of Ambrose Romeo?”

Amelia kept a faint, confident smile on her face. “I can get Ambrose to win your case again Sterling Now all I need is a simple answer are we in, or are we out?”

Amelia, if you’ll excuse me for asking you’re engaged to the man Why are you trying hosteal his

Amelia had barely finished when Cyrus started clapping. “I have to say, you surprised me. I’m in. However

“However what?”

“You handle the fallout with Sterling. If the Harrington Group takes a hit, it’s on your head.”

Simply put, Cyrus wanted no accountability. This was a lovers‘ quarrel as far as he was concerned, and he didn’t want to be the sacrificial lamb.

Amelia nodded, handing him a pre–prepared document. “Sign here. Leave the rest to me. Once the Sterling deal is dead, my company will reach out with the new contract.”

Cyrus didn’t hesitate. He signed with a flourish, then looked up. “One more thing. I’m curious–why me? There are plenty of other groups that wouldn’t require me to burn a bridge with Sebastian. If you’re as capable as you say, why pick me?”

He thought of her brothers, Alexander or Julian. Their capabilities weren’t inferior to his.

Amelia gave him a knowing smile. “Mr. Edward Harrington gave me a very precious gift. I figured I should return the favor.”

Cyrus burst out laughing. “Well, it seems I’m riding on my grandfather’s coattails again.”

‘Alright then,” Amelia said, gathering the papers and extending her hand. “Cyrus, it’s a pleasure doing business with you.”
