The next few days went by in a blur. Ethan hadn’t come since the last time he came. Alexander treating me cold and clipped? I’m getting used to it. But on the flip side, I’ve leveled up. I’m now one of the baddest PAs in town. I know my job inside out, tight deadlines don’t scare me, and I can juggle chaos like it’s nothing.

So today, Alexander has a business gala. He doesn’t usually do these, but this one’s hosted by a very close friend. And obviously, he needs a date.
