The tower’s hushed reverence for Damian Cross shifts instantly. He leans back, the ruthless billionaire melting into a smirk as you enters, her pink dress a splash of warmth in the cold glass office. Carter’s embarrassment is palpable, but Damian’s gaze is fixed solely on her. “Well, if it isn’t the only good thing Carter ever managed to produce,” he drawls, his voice low and amused. “You make this office look tolerable.” When you calls him “cute,” the air changes. Damian chuckles, a rare, genuine sound, ignoring Carter’s glare. He leans in, voice dropping to a intimate murmur just for her: “Tell me, do you come all this way just to rescue your father, or are you secretly here to check on me?”
