28. Princess in Distress

Autumn's POV

With my whole visual focus scrutinizing the designs before my eyes, I start mindlessly tapping my finger tips onto the surface of the wooden office desk, creating the only sound in the room.

"These designs are beautifully unique and outstanding Autumn." Lance compliments from beside me, but I hardly spare him a glance.

My pokerface is on full display and it's not just for the serious CEO part. I'm not feeling the happiest since someone uttered those words to me this morning, with no care in the world of how I still feel about the absurdity of our forced marriage.

And it's not just that.

This is the first day I'm coming to work since my scandal. I've been having only zoom meetings with my team and desperately tried to distance myself from social media and avoid the paparazzi.

Well that was my intention.
