Rebirth of the Heiress And The Tycoon’s Lover Novel - Chapter 283

AUTHOR’S POV.

The faint shuffle of papers and the low buzz of the chandelier were the only sounds in the room, steady and quiet. Alina stood at the far end of the room,her fingers grazing along the spines of old ledgers stacked neatly on a towering shelf.

There wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere and every surface was clean and lightly shining under the dim light.

Behind her, Damien lounged against the edge of their father’s massive oak desk, idly flipping a coin between his fingers. The metallic clink echoed in the silence, his casual demeanor was a sharp contrast to Alina’s concentrated intensity.

For a while, neither spoke. The only sound was paper ruffling, drawers opening and closing and the soft rhythm of Alina’s searching hands.
