Chapter 105:
Caught off guard for a fraction of a second, Dana recovered quickly and laughed as she trotted over, hooking her arm through Linda’s with easy familiarity. “Sorry about last night, Ms. Burgess. I drank too much and ended up passing out in the car—that’s why I missed your calls. But don’t worry. Mr. Holt’s contract is being signed today. Consider it my way of making things right p>
A trace of cold amusement flickered in Linda’s eyes as she listened. Did Dana genuinely believe a contract was worth more than what had happened to Kailey?
She had no patience left for the conversation. Without expression, she removed Dana’s hand from her arm and spoke evenly. “The boss wants to see you in his office p>
Dana froze for a brief moment—then excitement surged through her. She dismissed Linda’s flat tone entirely, smoothed her hair, put on a bright smile, and strode straight to the CEO’s office. She knocked twice and stepped inside.
“Mr. Blake, you wanted to see me p>
From behind the desk, Kyson lifted his gaze and paused, a faint smile touching his lips. “Yes. I wanted to see you p>
An unexpected flicker of tension stirred in Dana’s chest.
She closed the door carefully before strolling forward, her steps slow and deliberate.
“Mr. Blake… Mr. Holt and I came to an understanding last night. He said he’d come by today to sign the contract. I’ll follow up with him later p>
Kyson’s eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly, his gaze deep and unreadable. “And you’re confident he’ll follow through p>

Kyson’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Is that so p>
“Of course,” she replied quickly. “Just say the word p>
Silence stretched between them.
With effortless calm, Kyson spoke again, his voice carrying a quiet, unhurried pull. “Come closer p>
Dana’s pulse quickened as her thoughts spiraled in directions she couldn’t quite rein in. Even as her mind ran ahead of her, her body moved forward on instinct, bringing her around the edge of the desk.
His relaxed posture was suddenly right there, close enough to disrupt her breathing. After a brief pause, Dana made her choice, turned deliberately, and settled herself onto Kyson’s lap.
“Oops… I’m sorry, Mr. Blake. That was an accident p>
The apology left her lips, but there was no remorse on her face. A faint flush colored her cheeks instead, and her eyes gleamed with unmistakable intent.
Kyson didn’t react. His expression stayed flat as his gaze angled down toward her. “An accident p>
“Yes, an accident.” With open confidence, Dana lifted her hand and traced slow circles against his chest. “You didn’t push me away, so I figured you wouldn’t hold it against me. Am I wrong p>
