Dreston was dressed for work and Cassienne was too. They sat together in the kitchen having breakfast before heading to the office. While Cassienne was on a phone call, she paced the large kitchen with a cup of coffee in hand.

Dreston was also on a phone conversation with his parents, telling them how fast he was recovering.

I am doing much better now, mother,he said into the phone. And after listening to his mother, he replied. Yes, the doctors are pleased with my progress.

Dreston was so excited and he was really happy to get back to the office. “You really do not need to worry about me. Cassienne is with me, and she is taking very good care of me.

The moment he mentioned her name, Cassienne paused briefly to look at him. Then she smiled as she went back to her phone call.

Later they were together entering the SUV as Steve, Dreston’s head of security, opened the back door for them. After they were well settled, Steve closed the door. This time, Steve was the one who drove them.

Dreston’s security protocols followed them in another SUV, and they left for Auralink.

While on their way, Cassienne was still busy receiving different calls, and Dreston was busy looking at her. His eyes were strictly on her. He watched as her lips moved and her seriousness. He even noticed how her brows pulled together.

He kept wondering how he had never seen this side of her before in their five years of marriage. She handled each call with calm confidence. Her voice stayed steady even when the conversations became complicated. He saw the way she listened carefully and gave clear answers. This was the woman who ran a major part of Auralink, the woman everyone respected in the tech world. And he had missed all of it.

When she was done with the call, she tucked her phone back into her beige handbag. She caught

Dreston staring at her.

What?she asked with a smile.

He smiled back at her. Nothing. Just curious about your beauty. That is all.

Cassienne laughed at his reply. Thank you,she simply said. “For giving us a chance,she added. For believing in the love we shared.

This time, Dreston just looked at her, but said nothing. He reached over and took her hand in his. His thumb brushed gently over her knuckles. The simple touch made Cassienne feel warm inside. She squeezed his hand lightly and looked out the window for a moment.

The city came into view as they got closer to Auralink. Tall buildings rose around them, and the familiar energy of the business district filled the air. Cassienne felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. This would be the first time they were returning to the office together since the accident. She wondered how people would react when they saw them arrive as a couple again.

Dreston seemed to sense her thoughts. “Are you nervous?he asked quietly.

A little,” she admitted. But I am also happy. We are doing this together.

He nodded. We are.

The SUV slowed down as they reached the entrance of Auralink. Steve parked smoothly in the reserved spot. He stepped out first and opened the back door for them. Dreston got out and then helped Cassienne step down. His hand stayed on her lower back as they walked toward the main entrance. The second SUV with the rest of the security team parked nearby.

As they entered the building, a few employees who were already in the lobby turned to look. Whispers started almost immediately. Some people smiled politely. Others looked surprised to see them together. Cassienne kept her head high and walked with confidence. Dreston stayed right beside her, his presence steady and protective.

They took the private elevator up to the executive floor. When the doors opened, Ivy Hart, Cassienne’s personal assistant, was already waiting for them.

Good morning, Mr. Tremont. Good morning, Ms. Cassienne,Ivy said with a warm smile. Welcome

back.

Thank you, Ivy,Cassienne replied. “Is everything ready for the morning meeting?

Yes, ma’am. The team is already in the conference room. They are excited to see you both.”

Dreston gave a small nod. We will join them shortly.

As they walked down the hallway toward Cassienne’s office, Dreston stayed close to her. He leaned in slightly and spoke in a low voice.

I may not remember everything yet, but I can see how much respect people have for you here. That makes me proud.

Cassienne felt her cheeks warm. Thank you. It means a lot coming from you.

They entered her office together. The space was bright and organized, with large windows overlooking the city. Cassienne placed her handbag on the desk and turned to Dreston.

Do you want to sit in on the meeting with the development team?she asked.

I would like that,he replied. I want to see how you work. I want to understand this side of you.

Cassienne smiled. Then let us go.

They walked to the conference room side by side. When they entered, the team stood up to greet them. There were surprised but happy expressions on many faces. Cassienne took her usual seat at the head of the table, and Dreston sat beside her. The meeting began smoothly. Cassienne led the discussion with clear focus. She asked questions, listened to updates, and gave thoughtful feedback. Dreston watched her the entire time. He saw how she commanded the room without raising her voice. He saw
