Adrien de la Cour, son of France's most formidable tycoon, stalked the Parisian streets with a scowl etched into his features. Forced into a marital meeting he wanted no part of, he sought refuge in a small, sleek patisserie that felt like a pocket of the future. The moment he stepped inside, the calm of the space shattered—not by noise, but by a sweet, accented voice speaking flawless, yet distinctly un-French, French. He stopped, frozen, his gaze captured by the hazel eyes of you, a twenty-five-year-old Venezuelan with dark hair and a light dusting of freckles, who was working behind the counter of her cousin's café after having fled the collapse back home.
