Chapter 153

Daniel’s POV

Satisfaction coursed through me as I leaned back in the plush lounge chair, watching the nurse carefully tend to my lip. The throbbing pain wasn’t so much a nuisance as it was a reminder…a mark of victory. Alex Williams Alistair had lost his temper, and I had rattled him in a way he couldn’t hide. That punch, his anger, his humiliation…it was all part of my plan, and it was working perfectly.

Alex had flown all the way to Dubai to witness my rise. He thought he could intimidate me by showing up uninvited, but all he had done was give me the ultimate satisfaction of watching him crumble under his own ego. Watching him storm out of the conference hall, his carefully curated image in tatters, had been more rewarding than I could have imagined.

“Hold still, Mr. Brooks,” the nurse said softly. Her voice was gentle, but her movements were deliberate, her touch lingering a little longer than necessary. She leaned closer, carefully dabbing the antiseptic against my lip. The neckline of her blouse was scandalously low, her cleavage practically in my face.

I smirked, meeting her eyes. “You always get this close to your patients, or am I just special?”

Her cheeks turned a faint shade of pink, but she didn’t pull back. Instead, she let out a soft laugh, her fingers brushing against my jaw. “You’re definitely special, sir.”

She was bold, I’d give her that. Most people didn’t try to flirt with me so blatantly, at least not in such a professional setting. But this woman? She was practically throwing herself at me.

“Dedicated to your craft, I see,” I said, my voice dripping with amusement.

“Just making sure I do a thorough job,” she replied, biting her lip as she gazed at me.
