My CEO 400

400 Distraction (Judy)

I saunter in, heels clicking against the marble floor, and spot Viktor waiting for me at the reception area outside the boardroom Jayden's holed up in.

He's all muscle and menace, his arms crossed over his chest like a sentry guarding a fortress. I'm going to rattle his cage a little. Girl's gotta have some fun.

I stride up to him like an old friend. "Viktor! How wonderful!. I hope you aren't missing that traitor Gus too much... Guess that asshole finally got what he deserved."

I know that will make him pissed.

He doesn't move, blocking the path to the door completely. "Your son doesn't want to see you. You should leave."

I step closer, lowering my voice. "I'd prefer not to make a scene, Viktor. But you and I both know you can't keep me away forever."

His expression doesn't falter. "Try me."

I let out a small laugh. "You're so dramatic. Always have been. But this is family business, and it doesn't concern you."
