The Cold Executive

I took the night shift to pay my sister's tuition, not to meet the man whose name is on the building. Cassian Reyes doesn't come to the floor. He doesn't answer emails. He doesn't exist in any real way — until a power outage locks us in the same hallway and suddenly he is very, very real. After that, my reports keep ending up on his desk. His recommendations keep ending up on mine. I know what this looks like, and I will not be the girl in that story. Then the whistleblower hunt starts, my name lands on a list, and Cassian does something no cold man should ever do. He takes the fall for me. He loses everything I didn't ask him to lose. And now I'm the one sitting in his chair, deciding whether to give it back.
