Jayden's POV ✨
I could feel the weight of the Monday morning settling in my office as I focused on the tasks at hand. My attention shifted momentarily when movement caught my eye—Elsie's office door was ajar, and I could see her talking to someone. It was Martin Stavrakos, her long-time investor and business partner. They seemed to be engaged in an animated conversation, and my curiosity was piqued.
As I observed from a distance, Martin unexpectedly pulled Elsie into a tight hug, his hand wrapped securely around her waist. Something about the embrace felt intimate, and a nagging feeling gnawed at the back of my mind. There was more to their relationship than met the eye, I was sure of it.
