In private, they were exactly like this.
The two of them seemed to have naturally slipped into the roles of an engaged couple.
Dane took Claire down the elevator to the ground floor, then headed back toward his apartment across the street.
As they crossed the road, he naturally reached out and grasped her hand.
Claire didn't pull away. Having been thoroughly seduced by his good looks countless times today, she had now completely made peace with her identity as Mr. Green's fiancée.
In fact, she was already starting to enjoy her exclusive perks.
They crossed the street and quickly arrived at Dane's apartment.
It was a sprawling, two-thousand-square-foot penthouse with sweeping panoramic views.
One glance told Claire that the night skyline from here would be absolutely breathtaking.
"Make yourself at home for a bit. I'm going to change."
Dane's version of changing clothes included a quick shower.
He was done in ten minutes, walking out while vigorously towel-drying his hair.
Claire stood by the window, ostensibly taking in the view but mostly admiring the freshly showered, stunning man before her.
She couldn't help but marvel at how effortlessly guys operated-showering and washing their hair took a mere matter of minutes.
Dane spent another two minutes blow-drying his hair, emerging looking even more impossibly handsome.
Claire simply stood there in quiet appreciation.
Once he was ready, Dane whisked her away to his company for breakfast.
"Good morning, Mr. Green!"
Upon arriving at Vertex International, quite a few employees spotted Dane bringing a young woman into the building.
Among them were members of the acquisition team.
They instantly recognized Claire and eagerly greeted the future Mrs. Green.
Dane didn't need to make a grand public introduction, but in the time it took to bring her to the cafeteria for breakfast, news of Claire's arrival had already spread like wildfire throughout the entire company.
Previously, everyone had only heard rumors from the acquisition team that the boss's young fiancée was from Apex.
They said she was gorgeous, sweet-natured, and incredibly easy to get along with.
Now that everyone knew Claire had visited the office, they could confirm she was indeed stunning it was no wonder Mr. Green treated her like a precious treasure.
He had kept her so fiercely hidden before—so why was he suddenly parading her around the office so openly?
The gossip buzzed through the cubicles, though no one dared to bring it up to the couple directly.
As Claire ate her breakfast in the cafeteria, she realized Vertex International truly lived up to its stellar reputation.
Not only did the corporation own a massive scraper, but the food in their cafeteria was genuinely top-tier.
The breakfast buffet offered an incredible variety of nutritious, mouth-watering options.

When Dane asked Claire, the chef was hovering nearby, unabashedly eavesdropping.
He was desperate to hear the future Mrs. Green's verdict on his culinary skills.
It wasn't until Claire gave a thumbs-up and praised the meal that the chef finally beamed, his eyes crinkling with joy.
His father was the head chef at the Green family manor, while he ran the kitchen at the corporate headquarters.
They were practically a dynasty of culinary masters for the Greens.
He and Dane had known each other since childhood, though he was a few years older.
Feeling bold, he approached the table. "Excuse me, honored guest, is there anything we can improve with our breakfast?"

If she really had to suggest an improvement, it would be that the chef shouldn't
hover and stare while people ate.
It was a little unsettling for digestion.
Of course, Claire kept that thought to herself.
It wouldn't be good if Dane suddenly slipped into ruthless CEO mode and messed
with the poor man's job or bonus.
Dane finally introduced them.
"This is our head chef at Vertex, Sullivan Quinn."
"He's also a friend I grew up with. He's practically a brother to me."
"His father and his grandfather have all been chefs for my family."
