"Damian ex is in the building"
"She's taking over project Atlas"
I tried to ignore it while making Damian's coffee but the name kept popping up.
Elena Brooks. CEO'S daughter.
Damian's ex-fiancée. The woman everyone said he never got over.
At 10AM sharp, the elevator doors opened and she walked in.
Tall, elegant, wearing a red dress that screamed money. She didn't even glance at me . Her eyes were locked on Damian's office door.
