---
Autumn couldn't even remember how she ended up at Sinclair Group. One moment she was standing there, listening to Selena's words sink deep into her soul, and the next thing she knew, her feet were carrying her straight to the one place she had never imagined she would go on her own. It was as if her heart had finally taken the wheel, overriding every doubt, every fear, and every hesitation that had been holding her back.
Selena had gotten through to her. That much was certain.
In a rush of sheer impulse, she had run straight to Sinclair Group, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and clarity all at once. She didn't have a plan. She didn't have a speech prepared. All she knew was that she needed to see him. She needed to see Keith.
As luck would have it, the universe seemed to be on her side that day. Just as she entered the lobby, breathless and nervous, she nearly collided with Jesse, who was about to head out on some errand.
Jesse froze mid-step, genuine surprise flashing across his usually composed features. "Miss Lewis, what brings you to our company? Are you here to see Mr. Sinclair?"
It was a simple question, but the weight of it hung in the air. This was the first time he had ever seen Autumn come to look for Keith. Not once, in all the time he had worked for the Sinclair family, had she ever shown up at the office unannounced. When she had been hospitalized for three days, Keith had stayed by her side for two of them, practically refusing to leave. And now, here she was, standing in the lobby of Sinclair Group, seeking him out.
That really shocked Jesse.
He had always believed that Keith's feelings were entirely one-sided. After all, Autumn had just escaped from a painful marriage—surely, she wouldn't be ready to believe in love again so soon. She had been burned before, hurt deeply by someone who should have cherished her. Jesse had watched his boss pursue her with a patience and devotion that bordered on obsessive, and he had often wondered if Keith was simply chasing after a woman who would never open her heart again.
But perhaps Keith's charm was simply too powerful. Or perhaps Autumn had finally realized what was right in front of her all along. Either way, Jesse couldn't help but marvel at the fact that she had been won over this quickly.
Autumn suddenly felt awkward under his gaze. Her cheeks flushed with a warm, rosy hue as she gave a shy smile. "Um... is he in his office right now?"
She didn't bother making excuses or trying to hide her intentions. She didn't claim to be passing by, or say she had some other business at the company. She openly admitted she was there to see Keith, and that honesty took even Jesse by surprise.
Jesse nodded quickly, a knowing smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "Yes, he's in his office working on some files. I'll take you to him."
He led Autumn across the grand lobby, his steps confident and purposeful. The marble floors gleamed under the soft lighting, and the entire space exuded an air of sophistication and power—a fitting reflection of the man who ruled over this corporate empire. When they reached the private executive elevator, Jesse swiped his access card with practiced ease, and the doors slid open silently.
As they stepped inside and the elevator began its ascent to the thirty-third floor, Autumn's heart was already pounding against her ribs like a wild caged bird.
At the reception desk, the secretary stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before her. She had never seen Jesse treat anyone with such respect, and the fact that he had personally escorted this unfamiliar woman to the executive elevator was practically unheard of. Leaning closer to her colleague, she whispered in hushed, curious tones.
"Hey, who do you think that woman is? Jesse is treating her with such respect, and he even let her take the executive elevator. That's reserved for only the most important people."
Her colleague's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Could she be Mr. Sinclair's girlfriend? Remember last time he personally clarified there was no engagement with the White family? Maybe it was because of her?"
The first secretary scoffed, her tone turning dismissive as she studied Autumn's simple appearance. "She doesn't look like one of those society heiresses. Her clothes are so plain. Don't tell me she got Mr. Sinclair's attention by... climbing into his bed?"
Her colleague let out a low, knowing whistle. "What? If that's the case, it won't last long. Mr. Sinclair and Vivian grew up together, didn't they? This woman is just a passing distraction. He'll end up marrying Vivian sooner or later, mark my words."
The gossip continued behind Autumn's back, but she was blissfully unaware of it. Following Jesse into the elevator, her heart raced wildly, her palms slick with nervous sweat. She was stepping into unfamiliar territory, both literally and figuratively.
This was her first time seeking out Keith on her own initiative—her first time stepping foot inside Sinclair Group. She had always been the one to wait, to receive, to be pursued. But today was different. Today, she was the one taking the first step, and the unfamiliarity of it all made her tension spike.
When the elevator reached the thirty-third floor and the doors slid open with a soft chime, Jesse stepped out first. Autumn felt her palms grow even damper, and she had to resist the urge to wipe them on her clothes. The hallway stretched before her, sleek and modern, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a breathtaking view of the city below.
One of the office staff members spotted Jesse and greeted him with a curious expression. "Mr. Jesse, didn't you just step out? How are you back so soon?"
Then the staff member noticed Autumn, and their eyes swept over her with obvious curiosity. "And who might this be?"
Jesse's face darkened instantly, his usually mild demeanor sharpening into something stern and commanding. "Get back to your work. If it's not your business, don't ask questions. Focus on your job."
The staff member curled their lip, clearly offended, but wisely chose not to press the matter. They turned away quickly, muttering under their breath. Fine, no need to ask—what was the big deal anyway?
Autumn glanced at Jesse, genuinely surprised by his sudden sternness. He usually seemed so mild-mannered and approachable, but at work, he was sharp and serious, a completely different person. It was clear why Keith trusted him so much—his choice of assistant was clearly capable and loyal.
She followed Jesse to the door of Keith's office, her steps feeling heavier with each passing moment. The closer they got, the more her nerves threatened to consume her. What was she supposed to say? How would he react to seeing her?
Jesse knocked firmly on the door, and a cool, familiar voice drifted through the wood. "Come in."
Jesse opened the door and stepped aside, gesturing politely toward the interior. "Miss Lewis, Mr. Sinclair is inside. Please go in."
Autumn took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Keith lifted his gaze from the documents spread across his desk. His eyes found the doorway, and there she was—dressed in a pale blue blouse, her hair loosely tied back, her slender waist making her look even more delicate and fragile than he remembered.
She seemed thinner than before.
A flicker of surprise passed through his usually unreadable eyes. Why had Autumn suddenly come to his office? This was completely unexpected. She had never sought him out before, never taken the initiative to visit him at work. In all the time he had known her, he had always been the one to chase, to pursue, to show up at her doorstep.
He set down his pen, his full attention now fixed on her.
And Autumn, standing in the doorway of his office, her heart in her throat, took her first step inside.

Oh, my heart! This chapter was absolutely beautiful and so emotionally charged. Watching Autumn take that leap of faith was truly satisfying. She has been through so much pain in the past, but seeing her willing to open her heart again to Keith speaks volumes about her growth as a character. And Keith—that flicker of surprise, the way he noticed she had lost weight, the quiet intensity in his gaze—it's so clear how much he cares about her. The moment between them feels so tender and charged with unspoken emotions. Jesse's protectiveness was also a wonderful detail, showing how Keith's influence extends to the people around him. This chapter gets a heartfelt ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars!
**Next Chapter Prediction:** Now that Autumn has taken this bold step and come to visit Keith, I predict that an emotional and honest conversation will unfold between them. Keith is likely to be cautious at first, not wanting to presume too much, while Autumn struggles to express her true feelings. Their conversation will probably address the misunderstanding during her hospital stay and Keith's relationship with Vivian. I sense that Keith might finally learn the truth about why Autumn checked out of the hospital early, and this could lead to a deeper connection—or possibly a new misunderstanding if someone interrupts them, especially with Vivian lurking in the background. Something tells me their private moment won't stay private for long!
