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 know that will make him pissed.

"Judy," he greets me as stoically as any mountain. "You need to leave."

I give him my most charming smile. "Viktor, darling, you know I never stay where I'm not wanted." My gaze flicks to the boardroom door behind him. "But... I'm here for my son."

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."

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