LUCAS’S POV
It's been two days. Two relentless, sleepless days buried under piles of contracts, endless investor meetings, and back-to-back negotiations. My brain was literally running on caffeine, because giving in to exhaustion wasn't an option—not when two projects were dangling on the line.
I was in the middle of a presentation when Jamie, my assistant, leaned towards me and whispered, “Sir, Mr Brandon is here to see you.”
I froze for a second, Brandon? He has no appointment with me, but I should’ve known he'd find a way to corner me. And now that he was here….turning him away would look inappropriate.
I kept my expression and whispered back. “Did he say why he's here?”
“No, sir. Should I turn him away?” Jamie asked carefully.
I shook my head. “No. Escort him in.”
