Because I was hurt.
That realization alone melted something inside me embarrassingly fast.
I sighed softly before leaning back against the couch.
“I think what bothered me most was everyone knowing.”
Adrian frowned slightly.
“What do you mean?”
“The staff knew her.”
He stayed quiet.
“The company still sees her as your fiancée.”
Something colder entered his expression now.
“That’s their problem.
“But it affected me.”
Immediately his expression softened again.
And somehow?
That quick switch between cold CEO and soft Adrian still stunned me sometimes.
“I know,” he said quietly.
The room fell silent again after that.
Bear snored loudly somewhere near the other couch.
Honestly?
Perfect timing.
I laughed softly before rubbing tiredly at my face.
“This is so embarrassing.”
