Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 956

Emmy hesitated for a moment, not sure what to expect, but she stepped inside anyway. The assistant inside seemed to get the hint and quietly slipped out, pulling the doors shut behind him. The room was softly lit, just a single vintage floor lamp glowing in the corner, leaving the rest in comfortable shadow.

James walked around his massive wooden desk and stopped beside it, pointing to the big leather chair. “Sit here.”

She still didn’t get what was going on, but she crossed the room and sank into the chair. “So, what’s up?” She tilted her head back, looking up at him.

From where she sat, Emmy could really see just how broad his shoulders were, how his waist tapered in, and how every bit of him radiated this quiet intensity. Her heart stumbled in her chest.

James looked down at her. For a second, she felt small in that oversized chair, and his eyes softened as he took her in. She could tell he saw right through her, and somehow that made her trust him even more.

He reached across the desk and slid two documents closer to her, his fingertips tapping lightly on the glossy black surface. “Sign these.”

Emmy glanced down, and her eyes widened. Share transfer agreements. And not just any shares, but controlling ones.

She looked up, almost in disbelief. “For me?”

James braced his hands on the edge of the desk, leaning closer. His eyes were deep, full of emotion he was trying to hold back.

“I’ve been planning this birthday present for a long time.” He nudged the documents even closer to her. “This company, I built it overseas on my own. Its tech focus is exactly what you specialize in. What it needs now is someone who understands where the field is heading and can really make it grow. I can’t keep the core shares anymore because of my situation. The board needs someone they can trust completely.”

He paused, his gaze steady on hers. “There’s no one better than you, Emmy.”

She opened the documents with trembling hands. Company registration: Fiji. Name: Janus Sphere Technologies. Even though the paperwork was packed with English legal terms, Emmy instantly understood the ambition behind the name.

“When I was looking for you, I basically turned Fiji upside down. Learned every secret path, every hidden current. Fiji’s full of shadowy players and problems even the government can’t solve. I put everything I found into a report and took it straight to Major General Carlos.”

Emmy’s mouth dropped open a bit. The name alone said everything—Carlos was serious military power in Fiji.

James continued, still somehow casual, “I gave him a plan for fixing things up, helped him tackle a few big headaches, and made a friend along the way.” Emmy could only imagine the risks. Dealing with a power broker like that was never safe.

“That AI charity tour with Deep Blue Tech? That was part of it too.” He glanced down at her, the edge of a determined smile on his lips. “After that, Carlos and I made a bet. He’d help me get the islands I wanted, and I’d build Fiji a world-class AI eco-tourism zone. Dean’s islands were my entry ticket.”

He suddenly called her name, voice low and impossible to resist. Propping one hand on the back of her chair, he leaned in, his gaze locking with hers, so close she could see the wild spark in his ocean-deep eyes.

“Emmy. Are you in? Want to take a real leap with me?”
