Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 591

Ten million wasn't the focus, but making a splash was key to building a reputation!

Whitney nodded with a smile, "I'll take care of the design personally.

Bryce, thanks for keeping tabs on this client; they're pretty important to me right now."

Bryce set aside the paperwork and walked over, his tall frame enveloping her as she sat in her office chair. His gaze was warm, "Skye Gem Ltd.'s first step was solid. That's all your hard work, Whitney. Don't worry too much about work or your family.

Your dad will pull through, Sammy will be found, and your future will be steady and secure."

Whitney's gaze dropped as she remembered the unsettling phone call with Ludwik from the night before, his threatening tone sending shivers down her spine.

She craved stability, but that depended on Ludwik letting her go!

Her eyes shimmered as she snapped back to reality, "I hope you're right.

The successful launch of Skye Gem Ltd. wouldn't have been possible without your support these past days, Bryce."

Bryce's eyes sparkled, "You can breathe a sigh of relief. I heard your dad's surgery is scheduled in two weeks.

Whitney... the Lutz Group is about to have their grand opening.

My father will be visiting Emperor City in a few days, and I was thinking... maybe you could meet my folks then?"

Whitney's expression stiffened.

Bryce's hint couldn't be clearer.

He was pushing for marriage!

And Whitney, though her mind hadn't changed since she'd agreed to marry Florence next month, felt a whirlwind of confusion inside.

Seeing her silence, Bryce hesitated, "If you're not ready to meet my father, we can wait. I don't want to pressure you.

But you've publicly stated we're getting married early next month, contributing to Skye Gem Ltd.'s sales success.

Going back on your word publicly might not reflect well on you..."

Public image she could disregard.

But this marriage, she was bound to it...
