Chapter 120
~Author’s POV~
The evening was quiet, save for the occasional rustle of wind outside the massive windows of Andrew Blake’s study.
He leaned over his polished mahogany desk, the light from his sleek desk lamp casting a warm glow over the pile of papers and open laptop.
The faint scent of leather and aged books filled the room, grounding him as he sifted through the latest financial reports for the upcoming partnership launch.
His phone buzzed on the desk. Frowning, he picked it up, noting the unknown number. With a swipe of his finger, he opened the message and read aloud:
"Can’t wait to see you during your business party, Drew. It’s been forever."
A small smile crept across his face. His fingers flew across the screen as he typed a response. "Can’t wait either to see you, bro."
As he hit send, he leaned back in his leather chair, his gaze drifting to the ceiling for a moment. His smile lingered and a rare flicker of warmth in an otherwise calculated man.
"And when you come," Andrew murmured to himself, his voice tinged with mischief, "I’ll have a special gift for you. Someone special."
