"Uhm, the car? Is there a driver... or do I have to drive it myself?" She let out a nervous laugh, a fleeting expression of disappointment crossing her face before her eyes returned to her hands. It seemed as though she confined herself to a mental prison each time she voiced a need. Despite owning a franchise of hotels and personally training all staff, constantly jetting around the world to interact with various people, her requests were far from demanding. She was being barely an inconvenience, yet reacted as if she was personally responsible for everyone's day of hell on earth.

"I can arrange a driver if that makes you more comfortable?"A smile played at the corners of my lips at the prospect of her having a driver, offering me minute-by-minute updates on her life—where she worked, what she did, and what she said. Perfect. I needed to discern whether the woman before me was truly shattered, or if someone was attempting to breach the fortress of the empire I had painstakingly constructed.

"Yes, please." She smiled down at her hands, and my heart tugged. I wanted to sweep her up and keep that smile etched on her face forever. Whoever that ring belonged to, was a lucky man.

"When you smile because of me, love, make sure you look at me when you do it. You have a beautiful smile, love; don't be afraid to let people see it." Her face lit up with a rosy hue, growing warmer against my hand. Shifting beneath me, she stammered, "W-What's your name?"

Feeling her body quivering beneath my touch, I couldn't help but feel a surge of power coursing through my veins. The knowledge that she was already succumbing to my presence, to my mere proximity, ignited a primal satisfaction within me. It was a game, one I excelled at, and she was already playing by my rules without even realizing it.

As I entertained the notion of how effortlessly I could make her tremble for me, a sly smirk curled my lips. The thought of unraveling her further, of delving into the depths of her desires and fears, tantalized me in ways I hadn't expected. But I knew better than to succumb to such temptations, not when the stakes were so high.

Removing my hand from her face, I turned to depart, the sudden chill of my hand without her warmth lingering in the air. As I swung the door shut behind me, only one thought remained with me—'Juliet'—such a fitting name for such a captivating woman. But she was a distraction, a detour on the path I had meticulously charted for myself. She could be the one that was sent to be my downfall.

If she wants me, she knows where to find me. With that thought echoing in my mind, I headed back down to the bar where my laptop and briefcase sat untouched. Upon opening my laptop, I was confronted with the stark reality of how much time I had wasted on something I'd continue to waste time on.

As I delved back into the intricacies of my work, the memory of Juliet lingered at the edges of my consciousness, a tantalizing distraction that threatened to pull me away from the task at hand. But I couldn't afford to be swayed by fleeting desires, not when the fate of my empire hung in the balance. Not when she could be the one that wants to take it away from me. With a steely resolve, I pushed aside thoughts of Juliet and focused on the matters that demanded my attention.
