Scarlett finished her presentation and sat uncomfortably across William. William leaned back in his seat, his fingers tapping against the armrest. She couldn’t read his expression as the brief silence continued. Finally, William spoke. “To be honest, I was already planning to move forward with the proposal from Mr. Knight, even before you showed up.” Scarlett felt a bit of relief. “But then,” he added as his eyes narrowed slightly. “You opened your mouth.” Her face froze. “You walked into this site and insulted me without provocation. You mocked me to my face and assumed i was beneath you. That was arrogant and unprofessional.” he said plainly. Scarlett’s cheeks flushed with a sharp heat. “I-I didn’t know you were…” “You didn’t care,” he interrupted. “You never have.” He stood and moved toward the table near the window, flipping through the folder with the proposal documents. “Under normal circumstances, I would have made the call to approve the proposal.” He closed
Chapter 65
Scarlett had carefully studied the documents Asher Knight gave to her and already had a strategy ready to close the deal. She had just gotten off a call with the secretary of the project head and had scheduled a meeting to meet at the project site later in the day. The sun beat gently on the field just outside the city. Steel frames were being erected and concrete had already begun to carve outlines of what would become a luxury smart housing development. It was a high-end real estate project that attracted a lot of interest. Scarlett’s sleek white SUV rolled onto the gravel path leading to the temporary office on the construction site. She stepped out, her designer sunglasses shielding her eyes from the scorching sun. She glanced at her reflection in the car mirror, fixing her lipstick. She looked around scanning the area. The site was buzy with workers in hard hats shouting instructions, unloading materials and reading schematics. As she approached the mobile office statio

Scarlett stood frozen for a moment as she read the email in front of her. Her heat skipped a bit as she read it again just to be sure. It was an email from Asher Knight inviting her to a business meeting at Knight Industries scheduled for 4pm that day. She gasped, her hand clasped at her mouth. “I can’t believe it. He actually agreed to a meeting.” She had been trying for months. Emails, calls and mutual acquaintances. Nothing she tried seemed to work. But finally, she had a breakthrough. She went through her wardrobe trying to find something to wear. Her eyes landed on a navy blue dress, it was perfect for the meeting. Some hours later, she arrived at Knight Industries. As the elevator went up to the 8th floor, she looked at herself in the mirror on the wall. She made sure her makeup was perfect before stepping out. An assistant came out to greet her. “Welcome, Mrs. Grey. He'll be with you very shortly.” she said with a soft smile. A few minutes later, he walked int

Fiona stood outside the entrance of La Maison de Lumiere, one of the city's most exclusive restaurants. The last thing she had been expecting was a letter from Asher Knight asking her to dinner, especially with the recent events regarding Sophia. She wore a dress that hugged her figure without trying to hard. The valet opens the glass doors for her and she stepped in to find the restaurant completely empty. No clinking of glasses or murmuring couples. Just the sound of soft jazz by the live band. A hostess greeted her with a smile. “Right this way, Mrs. Grey.” As she walked through the exquisite restaurant, she couldn't help but wonder why it was empty. This was a restaurant people waited months to make a reservation. Had he bought out the entire place? For her? She spotted him near the back wearing an elegantly tailored suit, handsome as ever. William was still using the same face he had used when he met Fiona previously as well as Sophia. He stood up to greer her

Sophia blinked and read it again. She frowned in confusion. Asher Knight was right in front of her and ready to reveal himself so why would his team release a statement like this? By this time, a lot of people had also read the statement and wondered who Sophia was dancing with at the Gala. She turned sharply to the masked man. Her voice was trembling. “Why would you say you don't have anything to do with me?” “What do you mean?” he asked sounding unsure of what she meant. Sophia stepped back. “Take off the mask.” Still, no reply. “I said take off the damn mask!” she snapped. He hesitated, then slowly peeled it off. And the room spun. It wasn’t Asher Knight. It wasn’t anyone she recognized. He had kind eyes. Brown hair. Handsome in an ordinary way, But not Asher Knight. He smiled nervously. “I… I’m sorry if you expected someone else. My name’s Adam. Adam Kane. I’ve been sending you the gifts. I just didn’t know how to approach you without… well, all of this.” Ther
