For You
Corrine paused, and then returned a casual message. "What's up?"
Although she intended only to be courteous, Nate called her directly, saying, "I hope I'm not disturbing you."
"Sorry for the delay," Corrine responded.
"Got plans tomorrow?" Nate's voice, deep and captivating, filled the conversation.
Distractedly sifting through papers, Corrine quickly responded, "Yes, I'm tied up." Her new role at the company
demanded her full attention.
"Is that your reason for turningdown?" Nate wasn't surprised by Corrine's response.
"Starting a new job takes sgetting used to," Corrine explained. "What made you want to seeall of a

"Have you becthis direct with your feelings?" Corrine laughed.
"Corrine." Nate's voice resonated warmly. "I see no reason to hide my feelings from you."
His words were like savoring fine wine. His deep baritone felt like a heartfelt lover's confession, stirring
emotions within her.
Feeling a flutter in her heart, Corrine cleared her throat and said, "If that's all, I'm going to hang up now."
She then ended the call and set her phone aside.
Her phone buzzed soon after, signaling a new message. It contained the address of a restaurant and a voice
message from Nate saying, "I'll be waiting for you."
Nate had a way of offering choices that weren't really choices at all. He set the stage, and she found herself
inevitably playing her part without real options to decline.
On the following morning, Corrine made her timely arrival at the headquarters of Ford Group.
All eyes were glued to the tinted windows of her car.
When she exited, she ducked slightly, stepping out gracefully.
Dressed sharply in a suit with tailored cigarette pants, she radiated capability and a distant coolness.
A simple twist held her long hair up, save for a single wavy strand at her temple
that softened her stern expression and added an intriguing allure.
Her arrival halted conversations, her presence too imposing to ignore.
After their initial shock, her assistants hurried to her side as Corrine made her way into the building.
When she reached the elevator, an eager man stepped up to press the button. "Miss Holland, I'm Mr. Castillo's
