I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra) novel Chapter 50

Sensing my presence, Steven looked up. His dark, deep-set eyes held an emotion I couldn't quite decipher. "You're quite capable. You show up and get my receptionist fired, then have the nerve to threaten me with a recording."

I let out a small laugh. "Well, that's what you get for ignoring me. If you had just answered my call and said something to her, none of this would have happened."

For people like Steven, appearances were everything. My recording was a potential scandal he had to neutralize.

Steven scoffed at something, but I ignored him. I nudged the necklace box with my finger and asked nonchalantly, "This necklace, did Myron give it to you?"

Steven glanced at the diamond necklace on his desk. "Why do you ask so many questions?"

"I'm just curious. Besides, this doesn't seem like your style. You only like black, white, and gray. Why would you like something so sparkly?"

I knew better than anyone how dull Steven could be. His life was a study in monochrome. I was sure this wasn't something he'd buy for himself; it had to be a gift from Myron.

Steven's gaze dropped to the necklace. "The designer is very creative. It's vibrant, romantic, free. I like the message the piece conveys. Do you have a problem with that?"

I was even more surprised. I couldn't believe he had understood my intention. I had designed that piece when I was nineteen, my head full of dreams of freedom. I had always thought a man like him would only appreciate ambition, a drive to expand his empire. I never imagined he would like something that I, too, loved.

Before I could say anything, he muttered something else under his breath, about finding "her" for a long time and wanting something. His voice was too low for me to catch the words. "What did you say? Who are you looking for?"
