I was so close to the promotion of my dreams. All I had to do was prove I was serious, focused, and not the type to hit every happy hour.
So when my boss assumed I had a fiancรฉ, Iโฆ might have let them believe it.

Cue Kir Adler. Billionaire CEO. Business genius. The kind of man who makes hearts (and stock markets) crash and burn.

2๏ธโฃ He listens in a way no one ever has.
3๏ธโฃ And every time we โfakeโ touch, my heart forgets this isnโt real.

Letโs just say no oneโleast of all meโwas prepared for what happened next.
