The Billionaire's Intern (Maya Thompson) novel Chapter 96

Chapter 50: When Kings Arrive-3

He exuded the same kind of quiet authority as Damien-not the shadow of it, but a parallel. The same air of command, of danger dressed in elegance. As if the world bent just slightly when he walked through it.

She couldn’t look away.

Whoever he was, it was obvious: he wasn’t just important.

He didn’t scan the crowd. Didn’t nod. Didn’t smile.

Until his gaze landed on her.

Then-unexpectedly-his lips curved into a wide, charming smile.

The kind that felt warm. Familiar. Like they’d known each other for years.

Maya froze.

That can’t be right.

He must be smiling at someone behind her… or beside her.

She glanced around.

No one.

Just Harper standing nearby.

That’s it. He’s probably smiling at Harper.

But just as she settled on that conclusion, Harper jabbed her sharply in the ribs.

“Ow-Harper!” Maya gasped, more surprised than hurt.

Harper’s eyes were huge behind her sunglasses, jaw practically on the floor.

“Oh my goodness!!! No way!!! No freakin’ way!! I never imagined I’d see him in person!!!”

Maya blinked.

Wait. Harper didn’t know him?

Then… that smile…

Was for her?

Maya was still trying to make sense of it when her thoughts were interrupted again-

by something deeper.

Sharper.

Like the shift in pressure before a storm breaks.

Her gaze drifted back to the helicopter-

And there, stepping out as if the world itself made room for him, came the third figure.

Damien Blackwood.

The breath hitched in her throat.

Her lungs stalled.

Her heart-traitorous, relentless-leapt.
