    by Sage Hunter Lane


    Damon’s features hardened, a chill settling over his expression as he fixed his gaze on Erin. “Ms. Hulle,” he began, his voice low and deliberate, “I trust you grasp the gravity of your words.”


    Erin met his gaze with a confident smile, unflinching in the face of his cold demeanor. “Oh, I absolutely do, Mr. Sumner. But I wonder if you’ve considered the ramifications of your own actions. You’re coveting your nephew’s wife—imagine the fallout if this were to be public knowledge. You know what would happen to Ms. N.”


    Damon’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of anger igniting in their depths. “Are you attempting to threaten me?” he asked, his tone sharp as a knife.


    “Not in the slightest,” Erin replied smoothly, her voice steady and calm. “I’m here to offer you assistance.”


    Damon arched an eyebrow, skepticism etched across his face. “Oh? And in what manner do you propose to assist me?”


    Feeling the icy aura that enveloped him, Erin took a bold step closer, her heart racing. “Mr. Damon, you must understand that even if Ms. N were to divorce your nephew, a future between you two is impossible. However, if you were to align yourself with me, I could help safeguard your secret.”


    A chillingugh escaped Damon’s lips, each sybleced with disdain. “Ms. Hulle, you should know that I have no interest in you and never will. If this information leaks, Prospectus Technology will sever all ties with Builders Property—immediate cancetion of contracts, and aplete withdrawal of cooperation. I suggest you ponder whether Builders Property can withstand such a blow.”


    Erin felt a wave of realization wash over her as she met his unwavering gaze. He was utterly serious. How could he be willing to jeopardize everything that Builders Property had built, all for the sake of N? It was a reckless gamble, one that left her reeling.


    An oppressive silence draped over the office, thick and suffocating.


    After what felt like an eternity, Erin broke the silence, her voice steady despite the tension. “Rejecting my offer will be the gravest mistake you could make.”


    Marrying her would mean seizing control over Builders Property, a power many men would leap at the chance to possess. Yet here stood Damon, ungrateful and resolute.


    What stung the most was the bitter taste of defeat against a woman she considered inferior in every conceivable way.


    Damon’s expression remained unchanged, a mask of indifference. “Ms. Hulle, I have pressing matters to attend to. You may leave now.”


    Erin bit her lip in frustration, turning on her heel and exiting the office, her heart pounding in her chest.


    The silence that followed felt even more stifling, and Damon’s demeanor grew even colder, a storm brewing behind his eyes.


    Just then, Spencer knocked lightly before entering the room, clipboard in hand. “Mr. Sumner, you’re scheduled to review Ms. Jayston’s experiment progress at ten. Should I—”


    He was cut off by the sharpness of Damon’s voice. “I’m not avable. Send Zachary instead. From this point forward, he will handle all updates regarding her experiment.”


    Surprised by the sudden shift, Spencer couldn’t help but wonder why Damon was so insistent on keeping N in the picture if he was disinterested. The work could have easily been managed at Park Pharmaceuticals without any issues.


    “Understood,” he replied, masking his confusion as he exited the room.


    Once alone, Damon inhaled deeply, attempting to quell the irritation bubbling within him as he turned his attention to the stack of documents before him. Yet, concentration eluded him, and frustration mounted until he tossed the papers aside, lighting a cigarette with a sigh of exasperation.


    —


    At precisely 10:00 a.m., N was immersed in her work, carefully separating solutions in theb when Spencer arrived, nked by a few sharply dressed men.


    “Ms. Jayston,” he announced, gesturing towards one of the men, “this is Mr. Zachary Keane from Prospectus Technology. He will be your new point of contact for the experiment. Any updates or requirements should bemunicated through him.”


    N blinked in surprise, her heart sinking a little. “Mr. Sumner is no longer overseeing this experiment?” she inquired, a note of disappointment creeping into her voice.


    She recalled being assigned to this project specifically so that Damon could keep a close eye on its progress.


    Spencer nodded, his expression serious. “That’s correct. Mr. Sumner is currently preupied and won’t be able to follow up on this.”


    N pressed her lips together, the realization dawning on her that Damon wasn’t simply busy; he actively chose to distance himself from her.


    Perhaps this clear separation would be beneficial for both of them, sparing them the difort of their previous encounters.


    “Alright, I understand,” she replied, forcing a smile despite the unease that settled in her stomach.


    After providing Zachary with a brief update on her experiment’s progress, the group of men departed, leaving N alone with her thoughts once more.Conclusion
