The Proud CEO

The office was buzzing—not with work, but with whispers.

By noon, Adrian's photo was all over gossip sites. A blurry but undeniable image: him and Eliana, caught in a moment that wasn't meant to be public. A hand at her lower back. Eyes locked. Too familiar. Too intimate.

Eliana walked into Wolfe & Kings with her head high, but every step felt like walking through glass.

She found Adrian in his office, jaw tight, phone buzzing nonstop.

"They called HR," he said without looking up.

Her stomach dropped. "What did you say?"

He finally met her gaze. "That I don't regret caring about you. And I won't lie about it."

Her breath caught.

"Adrian—"

"I'm not ashamed of us."

She wanted to cry. But she didn't. Not yet.

Instead, she crossed the room, took his hand, and said, "Then we face it. Together."

He pulled her close, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

Let them talk. Let them whisper.

For the first time, they weren't hiding anymore.
