Tom from Accounting stood there, a stack of papers clutched to his chest like a shield. His round face pinched with concern. "Are you okay? You look flushed."

"Fine! Just fine." My voice came out squeaky. "Little warm in here, isn't it?"

"Actually, the AC's been blasting all morning." He adjusted his thick-rimmed glasses. "Anyway, I need Mr. Knight's signature on these reports."

"Of course." I reached for the papers, willing my hands not to shake. "I'll get these to him right away.

  • A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 417

    MadisonOliver blew out the candles to cheers and applause. The cake cutting commenced, servers appearing with plates and forks. Alexander approached with Ethan still on his hip. "Someone's getting tired." "I'm not tired!" Ethan protested, even as he yawned. "I'm just resting my eyes." "Of course you are," I said, reaching for him. "Come here, baby." "No! I want to stay with King Alexander!" Ethan burrowed deeper into Alexander's arms. "He's warm and tall and tells good stories!" "Stories?" I raised an eyebrow at Alexander. "Just some stuff about buildings and engineering. Kids are fascinated by how things are built." "Like skyscrapers!" Ethan's energy returned briefly. "Did you know they have special foundations that go really deep?" "I did know that," I said. "He knows everything about buildings. He's so smart!" Ethan's head drooped again. "Can we visit his kingdom now? I'm ready to count floors." "Not now. Maybe another time." Alexander's hand rubbed soothing circles on

    Madison"You can't just make promises to him," I said, keeping my voice low. "He's a kid. He'll hold you to every word." "Good. I meant every word." "Alexander." "What? You want me to lie to him instead? Tell him he can't visit when he clearly wants to?" "I want you to coordinate with me before making plans that involve my son." "Our son." I opened my mouth to argue, then caught sight of Ethan trying to climb onto a chair that was definitely too high. "Excuse me." I moved across the room, catching Ethan just as the chair wobbled dangerously. "Whoa there, Spider-Man. Let's keep our feet on the ground." "But I wanted to see the decorations from up high!" "You can see them just fine from down here." I set him firmly on his feet. "Go find the other kids. I think they're playing with balloons near the stage." "Okay!" He raced off without a backward glance. I watched him disappear into the crowd of balloons and laughing children, my chest tight with a mix of emotions I couldn't

    MadisonAlexander's eyes held mine across the crowded venue, and everything else faded. The jazz music, the chatter, and the celebration were happening around us. None of it mattered because he was here. At this party. Why was he here? Had Hazel invited him? Or Oliver? Was he following me? My mind spun, trying to make sense of his presence. Then I spotted Anthony behind him, and pieces started clicking into place. Oliver or Hazel must have invited Anthony, who brought Alexander. But still. The coincidence felt too perfect, too deliberate. Hazel appeared beside me, her hand on my arm. "Breathe, Madison. You look like you're about to pass out." "What is he doing here?" I hissed, my voice low enough that only she could hear. "I invited him." My head snapped toward her. "You what?" "I invited Alexander." Hazel's expression was apologetic but firm. "And before you yell at me, Anthony and Oliver are colleagues. Oliver invited Anthony. They're friends. It would have been weird not t

    MadisonWe stepped inside. The apartment was beautiful, all exposed brick and high ceilings, the kind of space that screamed Manhattan money but felt surprisingly warm. "Shoes off, baby," I reminded Ethan. He kicked off his sneakers, leaving them in a pile by the door before racing toward the living room. "Can I play with your books?" "They're on the shelf by the window," Hazel called after him. I followed Hazel into the kitchen, where Oliver stood at the stove, spatula in hand, looking entirely too serious about whatever he was making. "Madison." He turned, his smile genuine. "Good to see you. Coffee? Tea? Something stronger?" "Coffee would be great." "Coming right up." He gestured at the espresso machine. "Hazel insisted we get the fancy one. Said regular coffee wasn't good enough anymore." "It's not fancy, it's quality," Hazel corrected, hopping onto the counter. "There's a difference." Oliver rolled his eyes, but his expression was fond. I settled onto one of the barsto

    Madison"YES!" Hazel's shriek nearly deafened me. "Oh my god, this is amazing! You won't regret this, I promise. Well, maybe you'll regret it a little when you meet Oliver's Aunt, but mostly you won't regret it!" "You're selling this really well." "I'm excited! My best friend is coming to New York! This is the best news I've had all week." She paused. "Wait, are you bringing Ethan?" "I guess so. You said it was family friendly." "It is! Perfect! Bring that adorable kid of yours. Oliver will love meeting him again." "Okay." "And Madison? Thank you. Really. This means a lot." The sincerity in her voice made my throat tight. "You're welcome." "I have to go. I'll text you all the details! Love you!" "Love you too." She hung up before I could change my mind. I set down my phone, suddenly aware that both my mother and Ethan were staring at me. "What?" I asked. "You're going to a party!" Ethan bounced in his seat. "Can I come? Aunt Hazel said I could come!" "Yes, you can come."

    MadisonI pulled his door almost closed and continued to my room. The bed looked exactly as I'd left it, covers thrown back, pillow still bearing the impression of my head. I climbed in, pulling the blanket up to my chin. My phone glowed on the nightstand. Still no messages. Good. I closed my eyes, forcing my breathing to slow, counting backwards from one hundred like some internet article had suggested for insomnia. Ninety-nine. Ninety-eight. Ninety-seven. Alexander's face appeared behind my eyelids, that almost smile when Ethan had called him "King Alexander." Ninety-six. Ninety-five. His voice at the bistro was rough with emotion. "I miss you. I've missed you for five years." Ninety-four. Ninety-three. The way he'd looked at Ethan, like seeing his son, was both painful and precious simultaneously. I gave up counting. Five days. That's all I had to wait. Five days to see if Alexander Knight would actually follow through on his promises or if this was just another busines
