Chapter 13: In Her Place
**************
Chapter 13
~Zara's POV~
I was in luck today—Snow had been tied up with meetings and calls, leaving us almost no time to cross paths.
I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing it meant a break from the constant tension that seemed to crackle between us.
Why was I so glad? Because I'd already woken Astrid and with Glacier's aura so close, I knew she'd be eager to push forward, testing limits neither of us was ready for.
But for now, she was resting, giving me a little peace to focus on my work.
I glanced at the pile of documents on my desk and sighed. It felt like a punishment for teasing Snow—being his wife and his employee had its perks and disadvantages.
This was definitely one of the downsides.
When I finally finished my tasks, I decided to head up to the next floor to meet the Vice-CEO of Aurora Conglomerate Inc.
The moment I stepped out of the elevator, I felt the shift in the atmosphere. Eyes followed me, whispers floating around like little bees buzzing in my ear.
