Vincent had come to me with the offer before, and I had turned it down because, unlike him, I knew who I was dealing with.

Our advisors should have warned him about this, and the fact they didn’t made me very suspicious.

My leading theory was that Mr. Monroe had planted his people in Hart Inc., and that created a bigger problem than I was ready for.

Vincent forging documents was one thing. Going up against a man as powerful as Mr. Monroe was another.

I quickly packed up everything and left the office, too disturbed by my discovery to notice the satisfied smile Clarissa sent my way.

"Ready to go home?" Matthew asked with a pointed look at my bandaged arm.

Home. Butterflies fluttered in my belly at the mention of Sebastian's home being mine too.

We had only known each other for a few days, yet Sebastian was a steady force I found myself drawn to.

He was there to help me, and I knew that if it came to it, I wouldn’t be going up against Mr. Monroe alone.

My anxiety calmed. I smiled. "Let's go home."

I settled into the seat for a calm ride, lazily watching the city go by.

The light turned red and we were forced to stop and wait.
