Colleagues constantly came over to toast Kaia. Since she had driven, she politely declined the alcohol, sipping tea instead.

Watching the lively atmosphere and the raised glasses, Brynlee kicked off her shoes, stood up on her chair, and raised her little cup of milk. Kaia quickly wrapped an arm around her to keep her steady.

down, not daring to hold her gaze.

“Damn it.”

The atmosphere in the room was electric-until the door suddenly pushed open.

Finnian stood in the doorway, dressed in a sleek black dress shirt.

The raucous laughter in the room died instantly, as if someone had hit a mute button.

Every pair of eyes snapped toward him. The CEO was here? Had he been invited?

Silas, suddenly ripped from his illicit thoughts, stiffened. He quickly masked his shock, stood up, and offered a polite smile. “Finnian. What brings you here?”

Finnian’s gaze locked onto Silas, heavy and utterly lethal, lingering for two excruciating seconds.

Silas felt the suffocating wave of Finnian’s displeasure wash over him.

“Such a lively celebration, and you didn’t invite me?” Finnian asked, his voice low and pointed directly at Silas, demanding an answer.

Silas offered a tight, nervous laugh. “You’re a busy man, Boss. I wouldn’t dare take up your valuable time.”

“Dad!” Brynlee cheered, waving her little hands frantically. “You’re right on time! We just started eating. There’s so much food!”

Finnian’s icy stare melted the second he looked at his daughter. His eyes then shifted to Kaia.

Perhaps it was the lack of AC in the crowded room, or the sheer energy of the celebration, but Kaia looked breathtaking. Dressed in a simple white blouse, her cheeks were dusted with a natural, rosy flush, and her eyes shimmered like a clear spring pool.

Kaia immediately lowered her gaze, refusing to acknowledge him.

Taking Brynlee’s cue, the man sitting next to Kaia practically launched himself out of his chair. “Mr. Sanders, please, take my seat.”

“Thank you,” Finnian said, offering a curt nod.

“Dad!” Brynlee instantly threw her arms around Finnian’s neck as he sat down. “Next time you have to ask Mom sooner, otherwise we’re going to eat all the food without you again!”

“I will,” Finnian promised, his tone infinitely indulgent and soft.

Brynlee leaned in close to his ear and whispered conspiratorially, “Dad, everyone here says Mom is super amazing. Do you think so too?”

Finnian’s dark gaze slid back to Kaia. He gave a slow, deliberate nod. “Yes. I do.”
