Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1686

What on earth was Steve trying to achieve? To Sylvia, his sudden pursuit felt incredibly abrupt and jarring. This was especially true considering that the Michell family had just ruthlessly targeted the Moore family in the business world right before the holidays. Just how much calculation and ulterior motive was hidden beneath this sudden romantic pursuit? She didn't even dare to dwell on it. Nor would she ever believe that simply nursing him for a few days while he was injured would be enough to make the lofty Steve fall sincerely in love with her. She wasn't that naive.

...

The following morning, Sylvia arrived at the office sporting two heavy dark circles under her eyes. She remained on edge the entire commute, terrified she would bump into Steve the second she walked through the doors. Fortunately, he was nowhere to be seen by the time she settled into the executive suite. Sinking into her office chair, she let out a long sigh of relief. Once her tightly wound nerves relaxed, she couldn't help but find her own paranoia slightly ridiculous. Technically speaking, she was his boss now. As long as she didn't summon him, an external legal counsel with no fixed office hours had absolutely no reason to loiter around the company.

Two days passed in peaceful tranquility.

On the afternoon of the third day, Sophia knocked and entered the office, clutching a thick stack of documents. "Ms. Moore, the contracts for the Westside Project have been drafted." She placed the file near Sylvia's hand. "We need Mr. Michell to review them."

Just hearing his name caused Sylvia's brow to twitch uncontrollably. She slid the folder back across the desk. "Take it directly to him. From now on, you don't need to run these routine contracts by me. Just coordinate and handle them directly with legal."
