Aria was still riding the high from this morning's confrontation when she arrived at Damien's office at Blackwood Enterprises.
She'd handled Victoria's attempted humiliation that morning, and she actually felt sorry for her, Because she knows what it feels like to love someone and she also knows what it feels like when the feeling isn't reciprocated.
But mostly, she was excited to see Damien and tell him about the shoes. About how they'd fit perfectly, how beautiful they were, how thoughtful he'd been to commission them specifically for her.
She knocked on his office door.
"Come in."
He was at his desk, reviewing contracts, but the moment she entered, his entire focus shifted to her. His eyes tracked her movement across the room with that intensity that still made her stomach flutter.
"How was shopping?" he asked, setting aside his papers.
"Interesting," she said, moving around the desk to perch on the edge near him. "I had a Victoria encounter."
