CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Caleb emerged from the bathroom, his expression completely neutral, as if nothing had happened. That, at least, spared Vera some of the lingering awkwardness.

"He probably will," Caleb said after a brief thought. "Knowing him, you'll hear from someone within a day or two."

That wasn't just false reassurance.

Nash had always been a man of efficiency. He wouldn't waste time once a deal was set. If he had chosen to work with the Mason Corporation, then an inspection would follow immediately.

Vera nodded, then hesitated. "You and Nash seem pretty familiar. Could you tell me more about him? Anything that might help me with the project?"
