The morning light filtered through the curtains, but it did nothing to brighten my mood. I woke up with a heavy knot in my stomach, replaying last night's humiliation over and over.
How dare Lorenzo treat me like a child? I was twenty-four, not some naive kid.
Fine, if he wanted to push me away, I'd show him I could be professional. No more flirting or desperate attempts for now. Today, I'd prove I was more than just his best friend's little sister.
I dressed quickly in a crisp blue blouse and white pencil skirt, tying my hair into a neat ponytail. Grabbing my bag, I headed to the office early, determined to bury myself in work.
By the time I arrived at Morano Holdings, the building was still quiet and I made my way to Lorenzo's floor. His office door was unlocked, so I slipped inside and got straight to organizing.
I sorted through emails, updated his calendar, and prepared notes for the day's meetings. Every task was done meticulously, no room for error.
