Kaia held the black card between her fingers, feeling a creeping unease. Without a second thought, she headed to Graves Group.

But the moment she arrived, she realized she might have come at a bad time.

Just as she was about to call Lucien, she ran into Julian.

“Mrs…” Julian caught himself immediately, noting the looks cast by passing employees. He quickly corrected, “Ms. Domont, you’re here. Come with me.”

At Graves Group, the only ones who knew about her relationship with Lucien were Zane, Julian, and maybe Lucien’s assistant.

Kaia quietly followed Julian into the elevator.

“Mrs. Graves, we’ll switch to the executive elevator on the third floor, Mr. Graves is still in a meeting, but you can wait for him in his office.”

Kaia nodded lightly and made herself comfortable inside.

She reached for a magazine off the shelf at random. The cover showed a man who looked calm, mature, and proper to a fault.

Only she knew how that same man burned like a house fire at night, consuming and relentless.

Across the conference table, Lucien raised his eyebrow at the man who was almost ten years older than him.

“Mr. Vane, don’t you think this is a bit much?”

Malcolm, with his infamous temper, huffed. “What’s too much about it? I’m ready to invest five billion dollars. Just send me the account, and I’ll wire it over today.”

Lucien had never seen anyone try to close a deal like this, blunt and absurd.

He gave a hum. “Yeah… no.
