Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 1

Luke Munoz cheated.

Vespera Gildon stood outside the president's office, her body stiff as if encased in ice. Her black stilettos seemed to merge with the dark marble floor beneath her. After a long pause, she finally raised her hand and knocked on the door.

A deep, familiar voice responded from inside. "Come in."

Vespera tightened her grip on the documents in her hand and pushed the door open with the other. As she stepped inside, she forced a faint smile onto her face and approached Luke.

"Are you busy? There are a few urgent documents that need your signature." Even as Vespera asked, she had already placed the papers before him, flipping them open to the pages that required his signature.

Luke had just returned from a business trip to Shawford earlier that morning. He had come straight to the office to tackle the mountain of work waiting for him. His desk was cluttered with files, and his handsome, well-defined face bore traces of exhaustion.

Without even glancing at the documents, he signed them quickly. "Thanks for your hard work."

Vespera gathered the signed papers and asked, "Will you be home for dinner tonight?"

"I have plans tonight. You don't need to wait for me," he replied without looking up.

"Okay. I'll head out then." Vespera turned and walked away, clutching the documents. As she did, her smile faded into a cold, mocking expression.
