I watched Sean from across my desk as he flipped through the collaboration documents with remarkable speed.

His serious, focused expression was completely different from the defire–filled gaze he’d given me earlier.

This professional side of him commanded respect, and I didn’t dare terrupt his concentration. How could anyone read so quickly and actually absorb the information?

Within minutes, he reached the final page. When his gaze landed on my signature at the bottom, a small smile played across lips.

“You’re already done?” I asked incredulously. “Did you actually read thoroughly?”

Sean looked amusement dancing in

His expression turned challenging. “Third page, fifth line. What does it say? Do you

Without hesitation, Sean recited word for word: “Both parties acknowledge that all intellectual property developed during the collaboration remains under joint ownership until formal dissolution of partnership.‘ Paragraph continues with specifics about patent applications.”

I quickly flipped to the third page, scanning for the fifth line. There was–exactly as he had quoted it.

“How did your.” I trailed off, genuinely impressed.

Sean leaned back in his chair, satisfaction evident in his posture. “Well? Is your husband impressive or not?”

Before I could answer, he stood and gathered the documents. “I’ll take these to Marcus, Wait here for me.”

I nodded, still marveling at his memory. As Sean turned away from me, I noticed his smile instantly vanish, replaced by the cold, calculating expression I recognized from his business dealings. Through the glass partition, I watched as he approached Marcus, his body language transforming completely.

Though I couldn’t hear clearly, I caught fragments of their conversation.

“Don’t come here again,”

Marcus nodded quickly, visibly uncomfortable. “Understood. Mr. Shaw I have nothing else to discuss, so Wilson anymore.”

He practically scurried away, leaving Sean standing there, emanating an authority that seemed to command the entire flour. I could only imagine what Marcus was thinking about the imposing presence of Sean Shaw,

When Sean returned, he closed my office door behind him. I noticed his brief hesitation, as if considering whether to lock it. The thought sent an unexpected flutter through my stomach.

“In such a hurry to leave? Sen asked, his voice dropping to that dangerously soft tone that always made my pulse quicken.

“Well, there’s nothing else to do here, 1 replied, avoiding his eyes, “We might as well go isome.

him.

When I reached him, Sean gently pinched my cheek. Look at you, sildenly so obedient.

His fingers trailed down to my chin, tilting my face up to meet his gaze. “Don’t run from me again,” he said softly. “Even if you hide in Europe, 111 find you within hours and bring you back.”

The intensity in his eyes made me shiver. He leaned down and

As we walked through the corridor toward the exit, I felt the weight of curious stares from my colleagues. Heat crept up my neck- everyone had seen Sean enter my office and close the door. What best they be thinking?

Once safely inside the car, I turned to Sean with determination. “From now on, I’ll come to work alone. You don’t need to accompany me.”

“Why not?” His expression darkened slightly. Because of those employees? You’re worried about what they think, so you don’t want

me with you?”

“I don’t want people thinking I only established this company because of you, I explained. “Marcus mentioned you’re our largest investor now. Is that true?”

Sean pulled me against his chest, his arm strong around my shoulders. “Yes, but I didn’t invest just because you’re my wife. I believe in you, and I believe in Marcus. Besides, as an investor, why shouldn I come?”

I sighed, recognizing I wouldn’t win this argument. “Fine, come if you want, but we need to establish some ground rules. You can’t behave in the office like you did earlier.”

“Like what?” Sean asked, feigning ignorance.

“You know exactly what I mean,” I replied, narrowing my eyes.

He leaned closer, his breath warm against my ear. “I’m not sure I do. Why don’t you explain?”

I pulled back, exasperated. to the office again.”

“Since you claim not to understand, think about it. When you figure it out, then you can come with me

“That’s not how this works,” he countered, his voice firm but playful. Wherever right beside you.”
