*Noah's POV*
I sit in the executive conference room of Ace Corporation, watching through the floor-to-ceiling windows as Madison escorts Chloe Bennett down the hallway. My ex-wife looks nervous. She's wearing her best business suit and carrying a leather portfolio that probably cost more than she could afford.
She has no idea she's about to meet me.
Madison opens the conference room door. "Ms. Bennett, please have a seat. The president will be with you shortly."
Chloe enters and takes a seat across from where I'm sitting. She still hasn't looked up from her notes.
"Thank you so much for arranging this meeting," she says to Madison. "I know how busy the president must be."
Madison glances at me with barely concealed amusement. "Oh, he's been looking forward to this."
The door closes. Chloe and I are alone.
She's still studying her presentation materials when I clear my throat.
"Hello, Chloe."
Her head snaps up. The color drains from her face instantly.
