Chapter 46: Regretting My Actions

I sat at the head of the long table, trying to focus on the presentation. Clairessa and Nicole were presenting their final pitch for the Gemia Project, and it was clear how much time and effort they had put into

it.

Clairessa spoke with confidence, though her hands trembled slightly when she turned a page or pointed to the screen.

The project was flawless–every detail and idea well thought out. They had taken my feedback seriously and delivered beyond my expectations. I was glad I had trusted them to handle it together.

But as I listened, my focus started to drift.

My attention shifted from the presentation to her.

My gaze lingered on Clairessa’s face. The way her soft brown hair framed her face, her lips… God, her lips. She wasn’t just stunning–she was intelligent, driven, and incredibly talented.

Memories of that night in the garden flooded my mind. I could still feel the soft breeze, see the way the lights touched her skin. I could still feel how close we were, how her breath mingled with.

I’d replayed it all weekend, regretting every second I held back. I should have kissed her. I wanted to kiss her. I needed to kiss her.

But I hadn’t. Instead, I drove her home, and watched her walk away, disappointment clear on her face as she tried to understand why I stopped.
