On Monday, the shareholders approved the acquisition proposal, effectively binding Cecilia to Blaze professionally.
Recently, Cecilia's team had taken on a new project, and the promotion campaign was going exceptionally well. Everyone in the team was working late into the night.
"Working late again?" Blaze's deep voice came over the phone.
"Yeah, just a bit more. You don't need to wait for me," Cecilia replied, juggling files and holding the phone between her shoulder and ear.
Blaze paused mid-step in the car, momentarily stunned. Even though she was staying late herself, she reminded him not to overwork. His heart thumped wildly at the thoughtfulness in her words.
"I'll hang up now," she murmured, ending the call before he could respond and returning to her work.
