“Do all of you have that one first love‘ you never quite get over?” she suddenly asked

Damian frowned. Seeing the waiter approach with their food, he picked up a plate and began serving her generous portions. “Eat. Keep your mouth busy with food instead of questions.”

Isabelle fell silent.

She’d heard about the lasting power of a “first love” and wondered what that kind of lingering attachment felt like.

Though, it seemed Damian didn’t have one–his had faded long ago, around the time his leg was shattered.

As their meal was winding down, Damian took a call from Brian at the table. Isabelle used the opportunity to visit the restroom.

“Stop rushing me! Do you think he’s an easy mark?” a woman’s sharp whisper came from one of the stalls.

Isabelle washed her hands and walked out, returning to her seat quietly.

“Are you full?” Damian asked with a soft smile.

“I’m stuffed. I don’t feel like moving.” She was tired and just wanted to sleep.

“Come rest at the company with me.”

Isadiana Studio was likely to be noisy today–Daisy had arranged for another crew to handle installations.

Isabelle nodded.

The two of them left the restaurant together.

When they left, Anthony was already gone. Lynn was still leisurely enjoying her meal. She didn’t know Damian had already covered her bill, or she definitely would have ordered a few more expensive dishes.

Inside the elevator, Damian was about to say something to Isabelle when Anthony’s ex–girlfriend stepped in.

She didn’t recognize Damian, but he remembered her clearly.

There had been a stretch where Anthony couldn’t sleep night after night, clutching a faded picture of her.

She was on a phone call, her tone outright nasty. “I told you to wait a few more days. Will waiting kill you? It’s not like I’m not going to pay you back!”

She was yelling loudly in the enclosed space, completely oblivious to the other people present.

Isabelle recognized the voice–it was the same one she’d overheard in the restroom.

Was this woman trying to con Anthony?

Isabelle pinched Damian’s hand and looked up at him. Their eyes met.

Damian wasn’t sure what she meant.

It wasn’t until they all stepped out of the elevator and the woman hurried away that Isabelle quickly told Damian what she’d heard.

Damian smiled, looking atterly unruffled.

“Aren’t you worried about him at all?” Isabelle couldn’t help asking.

“Worried about what? Right now, not even a crowbar could pry open that man’s heart. And a woman like that? You think he’s blind enough not to see right through her?” Damian scoffed.

Isabelle thought about it and realized he had a point.

As soon as they reached the executive suite, they found Brian on the phone with Diana.

When the two walked in, he exchanged a few final words and hung up.

Brian said, “That Gareth guy stopped by earlier.”

Isabelle was too tired to engage. She walked straight into the private lounge to lie down.

Damian sat at his desk. “Handle it yourself. No need to run it by me.”

I’m just thinking if I shut him down here, he might try his luck at Isadiana Studio instead.”

Damian tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk, raising an eyebrow slightly. “What’s your take?”

“Maybe toss him a small contract to make him go away.”

“If he came all the way here, he’s got a specific target. He’s probably eyeing one of our key projects–not someone who’ll be easily brushed off with scraps.” Damian observed.

A man like that, shameless and without principles, would try anything.

Damian added, “Actually, I’ve got an idea.”

Brian glanced at him and saw a sly smile touch the corner of Damian’s mouth.

Brian left to make the arrangements.

Damian walked into the lounge. Isabelle was already asleep, curled on her side hugging a pillow.

He pressed a switch, and the sheer curtains glided shut automatically, softening the harsh afternoon light while still leaving the room comfortably visible.

Damian undid his watch, loosened the top two buttons of his shirt, and then carefully lay down beside her, wrapping his arms around her from behind.

He pulled the lightweight blanket over both of them, his hand resting over her slightly rounded stomach, and kissed the top of her

head.

Isabelle stirred sleepily, placing her hand over his, and drifted back into a deep sleep.
