Emilia let out a breath as she shoved her hands in her pockets and leaned against the wall of the CEO's private elevator.

"How long have you known?" Emilia asked Jay.
"About you and Max?" he clarified.
"Yeah, about our engagement," she shrugged.
"Almost since you arrived, Nathaniel told me. I guess he was trying to tell me you were off limits," Jay answered.
"I'm not off limits," Emilia answered, rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, and I guess I just don't care," Jay chuckled. "Maximillian Astor is one of the most dangerous men I can go against. I must have a death wish if I'm trying to win over the girl he likes."
"First of all, I'm not the girl he likes," Emilia pointed out. "Secondly, you have Nathaniel on your side, he won't touch you."
"He also has Nathaniel on his side too," Jay said with an uneasy smile.
