Chapter 72

Izzy rubbed her temples, her fingers pressing against the slight he that had been building all day. The pressure of the project was mounting. She had handled difficult tasks before, but this one felt different. Everyone expected perfection, and that expectation weighed heavily on her.

She glanced at her screen, her presentation was finished and polished but a part of her wasn’t satisfied. It needed to be flawless seamless transitions, compelling data, and visuals that left an impression. She took a deep breath, reached for her water bottle, and, after a long sip, placed it back on the desk before resuming her work.

The vibration of her phone broke her concentration. Izzy’s eyes flicked to the screen. Liam’s name lit up. She hesitated, her gaze shifting to the clock in the corner of her screen. It had just turned seven.

She muttered under her breath, “I told him not to wait up. I said I’d be busy.”

Reluctantly, she picked up the phone and swiped to answer. “I’m busy,” she said, cutting him off before he could speak. “I might even spend the night at the office.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she frowned, silently chastising herself. Why was she telling him this? It wasn’t as if he cared about her schedule. So, she cleared her throat and added. What do you need?”

There was a brief silence before Liam spoke. “Come downstairs.

Izzy blinked, unsure if she had heard him correctly. “What?”

“I’m outside your office,” Liam said.

Her brows furrowed as she stared at her phone, processing his words. “What are you talking about?

“I’m waiting for you,” he replied.

Izzy stood from her chair, walking toward the window. She pushed aside the blinds and peered down at the street below. Sure enough, Liam was leaning against his car, looking up as if he knew she’d be watching.

She stepped back, her grip tightening on the phone. “What are you doing here?”

“I thought that was obvious,” he said. “Come down, Izzy. I won’t take no for an answer.”
