“If you want to appoint someone else more capable than me to occupy such an important position… I will understand.”

Those words hung between the two of them for what seemed like an eternity and Millicent could only wait for the moment when he would agree. Who knows, he might even scold her and give her a piece of his mind about how sorry he was for entrusting her with a responsibility of that magnitude. However, all she received was silence, until he finally responded, with a tone that sounded more like a sigh than a criticism.

“I thought you understood the terms of our contract. Once you have become my partner, I will not accept you going back on your word.”

“What?! No, I'm not talking about our contract…” Millicent gasped, quickly turning to face him again “I'm talking about…”

“Good, because I'm also not talking about your father's investment in my company.” Isaac crossed his arms, watching her in a way that made Millicent feel like she was about to take a test with a very demandin

    “Here is your table, Mr. and Miss. Bianchi. I hope you like the location. We reserved this place just for you, the moment we found out you were coming to visit us.” the very attentive maître said, pulling out the chair so Millicent could sit at the table in front of the huge glass wall, overlooking the restaurant's garden.“This place was really charming.” Millicent praised, looking around at the latest venture the Bianchi Group had debuted in the city.“It’s flattering to receive these words from you, Miss. Bianchi. Thanks to Mr. Bianchi's investment, we were able to transform the small family kitchen that my grandfather started into a real restaurant. We have expectations to compete for our first Michelin star next year.” the old man said proudly “But please don't let me bore you with my chatter. Can I start by bringing you some appetizers?”“Yes. We’ll probably be ready to order by the time you get back.” Massimo said, although his attention was fully focused on Millicent even befor

    Millicent’s breath seemed to be caught in her throat and a drop of cold sweat was running down her spine. She thought she would only feel nervous like that again when it was time to participate in another meeting with Austin and his team. Yet there she was, sitting in the waiting room of Isaac's office, feeling like her heart was about to burst out of her chest.Was she really about to do that? Wasn't it a bit too far, even if it was to punish Austin?“Mr. Carnby will see you now, Miss. Bianchi.” the smiling receptionist suddenly appeared, as if knowing she was about to panic and run away “Please, follow me.”“Thank you.” she panted, trying to at least calm her breathing as she followed the woman to the office she had only been to once. It was almost ironic that, once again, she was there, terribly nervous and with an indecent proposal for Isaac in hand. Well, this time, truly indecent.“Miss. Bianchi is here, Mr. Carnby.” the receptionist announced, opening the room door to let Milli

    Millicent was less nervous for Austin's second team meeting than she thought she would be. Not that anyone was noticing that, of course.Like last time, no one even looked in her direction as she sat at the conference table, reviewing some things on the tablet in her hands, while everyone there chatted and debated their ideas heatedly, clearly thinking that this would be the day when that they would finally reach a consensus that would satisfy Mrs. Poulin. As for Millicent, she just remained completely silent when Austin cleared his throat, catching the attention of everyone there.“Good to have you all here again, guys. Today, our goal will be to polish some of our ideas to satisfy Ms. Poulin. I know she had some strong opinions at our last meeting, but don't let that make you doubt the potential of what we're building here. You know how stubborn a

    “There you are.” a voice stopped Millicent just as she was getting ready to grab the cup of coffee she had just brewed from the coffee maker “I just heard you caused quite a commotion at the meeting today.” Cassidy commented, causing Millie to turn to her with a smile.“I wouldn’t say it was a commotion. It was another lesson.” she shrugged “I guess they won’t pretend I’m not there from now on. Not if they don’t want to miss the next budget news.”“I'm proud of you.” her best friend commented, with her eyebrows raised “But, I'm also surprised, I have to admit. If I know those bastards, especially Austin, they must have said all kinds of barbarities to convince you to back down, right?”“They certainly tried, but, I realized I have to learn to deal with the fact not everyone is going to like me… And I don't need to d

    “You can do that, Millicent. Just breathe. In... and Out…” Millicent muttered to herself repeatedly, focusing only on controlling her breathing to stop herself from overthinking. Around her, the glass interior of the elevator allowed her to practically see the entire city from above. The building where Isaac's apartment was located was certainly a far cry from the usual luxury condominiums where most of the people she knew lived, but it was quite a charming place. Although everything there is extremely new and modern, probably recently built, something about the quite remote location and quiet neighborhood reminded Millicent of her family's farm, on the edge of the city. It was a good place to have… Privacy.Damn, here was her mind taking her too far again. Finally, the elevator doors opened and, with one last deep breath, she took her first step toward Isaac. At least it wouldn't be a complete surprise for him to see her there. The building's security team asked him if they could le

    Millicent had never really gotten used to having men's eyes on her. She had the best parents in the world, but they weren't exactly liberal about clothing when she was a teenager, especially her father. And, after the age of eighteen, she was already committed to Austin and only worried about her college. She had never gone through the phase of dressing to attract male attention or just to feel sexy. It was a new sensation and one that was causing strange sensations in her stomach, especially because Isaac's eyes were slowly roaming her body, his serious expression not allowing her to have any idea what he might be thinking. But even so, she stood her ground, trying to act as if nothing about the situation was making her nervous.She had no reason to feel so exposed, anyway. That dress wasn't even that revealing. It was just one of the few slightly daring clothes she bought under the influence of a saleswoman and then forgot in her closet. She had certainly gained some weight since s

    “This was the last topic on the agenda of our meeting today. If no one else has anything to add, we can call it a day. Thanks for the hard work, everybody.” Millicent said it loud enough for everyone at the conference table to hear, but, as always, all she got back were a few mumbles and grunts that were impossible to understand. There was no doubt that she had managed to convince everyone there to respect her word, but on the other hand, there seemed to be more aversion to her than ever. But now, finally, she felt like she could understand the root of the problem. It was more than just a mere prejudice about her being a Nepo baby. Apparently, Jasmine had been spreading lies about her personality and, now that Millicent was finally using her influence as supervisor of that project, everyone thought they had received proof those rumors about her being a spoiled and heartless tyrant were true.Knowing the origin of all that disdain didn't make it any less uncomfortable, however.

    Millicent had learned an interesting thing about herself that day: she functioned much more efficiently when her sole focus was getting back at Austin and making him angry. Who knows, it wouldn't have been better if she had found a way to bring him with her and Isaac to that restaurant.Maybe then she would be able to stand confidently, instead of feeling so… Nervous.“Try to relax, Miss. Bianchi…” Isaac murmured in her ear, as the two followed the waiter to their table “Remember people will think we are on a business date and we have to make it look like a romantic date. And generally, a woman in love doesn’t seem as restless as you.”“I'm trying my best.” she squeaked silently, trying to soften her expression “It’s just… I didn’t expect you to choose a restaurant where almost all the patrons know my family.” Millicent made the mistake of looking around for a quick moment, finding all the other customers' eyes on her.“Of course. If we want the word to spread, then we have to get the

    “That’s what you call capture?! Where did you put the fucking wire I gave you? In your ass?” Commissioner Wilson shouted, making Isaac roll his eyes.“If you are incompetent and cannot capture the evidence you prepared yourself, then it is not my problem.” he sighed “I could have ended up with a bullet in my head if that piece of junk of yours had let out one last hiss, but you’re not listening to me talk shit, are you?”“Listen here, you son of a bitch…”“Calm down, Greg. The boy has a point. Don't forget he is our best tool right now. None of the others managed to approach the Greco’s as successfully as he did.” Wilson’s right-hand man, Detective Holloway, interceded “Relax a little. What we captured was enough evidenc

    “I hope you don’t mind giving me a few minutes of your time, sweetie.” Fiona smiled, her body expression and murmured voice making it clear she was, once, certainly very seductive.“Should I be interested in something that cannot be heard by Mr. Greco?” Isaac shot back, but his words only made her laugh.“Why, darling. Anyone who does business with the Greco’s is part of the family and you shouldn’t act like that towards the family.” She placed her hand on his shoulder, stroking it for a second, before he moved away “Besides, it's not like I'm wanting to do anything out of Ugo's eyes. I just know this is a subject that bores him, but I have a feeling it won't be like that for you.” “Maybe, if you take the trouble to be a little more direct, I can tell you whether I’m interested or not.”“A straightforward man, I see. Well, from what I've heard about Evan's plans for you, I can't say it's your fault for being so grumpy like that.” she sighed, falsely worried, but obviously didn't pursu

    Greco's Strip Club smelled of smoke, alcohol and sex. A smell so strong that it seemed to permeate everyone there, from the burly security guards guarding each of the doors and the completely naked women gyrating in the polidances. Even Isaac felt like that smell would stay in his nose forever, even if he had only visited that club a handful of times. When it all started, he thought he would have to become a regular at that place to get what he wanted, like the rest of the drunk men scattered around. However, Ugo Greco seemed to have made plans for him sooner than Isaac expected.“Here, handsome.” the waitress who had guided him inside the club stopped in front of a huge iron door that appeared to be armored, an inviting smile on her face “You can ask the girls inside whatever you want, but don't forget that I saw you first, yes?” When he simply ignored her and went to open the door, the girl just snorted, “Still playing hard to get, I see. I can increase the discount I said I would g

    After everything she had gone through to get to that position, Millicent never thought she would be distracted during a meeting with executives. But, that was exactly what was happening at that moment. And there was only one culprit, the same one who was sitting by her side in the meeting room.Isaac Carnby.In another of many moments of weakness, she glanced in his direction out of the corner of her eye, only to look away quickly when she found those blue eyes fixed on her. Damn. Her body missed him. Madly. She couldn't deny it. However, a part of her was still angry with him. And her pride simply couldn't allow what had happened at her uncle's party to be forgotten so easily. If they really were partners, then he had to learn to communicate with her, especially about serious matters, like what he had insinuated about Austin. As much as her lips were burning for his kiss, Isaac needed to learn to be honest with her. After all, what did he think his mouth was for? Just to touch his lip

    “Millicent! Millicent!” Austin’s scream echoed through the halls, closer and closer to Millicent’s ears, but she didn’t let it bother her. Instead, she continued to stare at the laptop on the table, standing next to Laura Poulin, until the office door finally opened, making a loud clang as if it had been kicked.“Millicent!” Austin growled, his face almost scarlet with anger “What did you do…?” he was in the middle of asking the question when he finally seemed to notice Laura standing there, which caused his posture to change drastically, like a flame hit by ice water “Mrs. Poulin… Why didn't you tell me you'd be in the office today? I would be delighted to welcome you to my office...”“Mrs. Poulin is not only involved in the films and series that will come out of your project, Mr. Carnby.” Millicent snorted, straightening up “Anyway, we're having a private meeting. Why did you come into my office uninvited and cause such a commotion?”“The reason? I just found out that you broke an ag

    “Mr. Carnby…” Mr. Young was the first to speak, looking as shocked as Millicent felt to see Isaac act that way, his hateful gaze in his brother’s direction, making no move to let go of Austin’s wrist “I think you misunderstood what we were talking about. There is nothing personal about the proposal we just made to Miss Bianchi…”“And, even if there was, none of that is your business!” Austin growled, but even his best efforts didn't seem to be able to make him escape Isaac's grip “We're talking about something that will contribute to the company you've invested millions in, as you always make a point of repeating. Isn't that why you appointed my ex-fiancee to oversee my project? To make sure you always had an eye on everything? Or could it be that, in the end, all you wanted was to keep your eyes on something else, Isaac?” he sneered, with a smirk “It seems not everything is completely under your control, as you like to pretend, right?”Millicent waited for Isaac to rebut his brother w

    If there was one thing Millicent knew about Austin, it was that arrogant smile. It was the kind of expression he always wore when he thought he won something, especially a battle.And, if he was acting like that while being accompanied by the other company executives, then it was certainly not something good that was coming.“Hello, gentlemen.” She smiled her best diplomatic smile, as if she didn't have a care in the world as she picked up another glass and approached them “Are you enjoying the party?” “Yes, Miss Bianchi. Despite all the financial problems he has faced in recent years, your uncle clearly still has a lot of support to receive. I am sure he will get through this crisis with ease.” Mr. Young, one of the executives who Millicent knew to be one of the closest to Evan, ran his eyes around the room, not really looking very pleased that Dante was so close to overcoming all the boycotts that Emma was promoting and that no one seemed to have the courage to mention “As expected,

    Millicent hadn't forgotten her resolution after meeting Alessia Greco for the first time. Isaac was a free man and it was none of her business whether he had women throwing themselves at his feet, whether he reciprocated their feelings or not. At times like that, she should just think of a quick excuse to give Everly a satisfactory answer that wouldn't jeopardize their plans. Whether or not Isaac had anything to do with Mr. Greco's daughter, Millicent was sure he would never let that jeopardize their agreement.But for some reason, even knowing all of this and even though Isaac was clearly trying to move his arm away from Alessia and put her on her side, seeing them close like that, looking almost like a couple while Mr. Greco smiled almost proud manner to Isaac, made Millicent's stomach twist in a terrible way.“Do they have business together?” Everly asked, again very interested.“Uh… I don't know all the details about his business. I think this is something only he can answer.” Mil

    “You're a pretty good dancer, Mr. Carnby. Has anyone ever told you that?” Millicent laughed as Isaac twirled her gently in the rhythm of the music around the hall.“If my memory serves me right, I think you're the first to tell me something like that, Miss Bianchi.” There was a teasing smile on his face as his arm wrapped around her hips even more firmly, cradling her against his chest in a way that wasn't necessary during a dance like that "But I'll take it as a new skill I just found out. You know, it’s not like I’m really used to dancing.” “I have a hard time believing that.” she raised an eyebrow as he twirled her perfectly once more “Or, maybe, I’m not giving you enough credit. I took some dance and etiquette classes at school when I was a teenager, but I was always terrible at it. I think all those teachers were right when they said that, if the guide knows what they are doing, then the dance will turn out as it should.” “Well…” his smile fell a little, but his voice remained c
