One Night Mistake: The CEO's Trap

Xiaoxiao Yunduoer Romance

“Eleanor woke up in a stranger's penthouse, realizing she had made a terrible mistake after drinking too much at her best friend's party. She fled in a panic, only to discover she had left her late mother's precious emerald necklace in his bed. To her absolute horror, the stranger turned out to be Cruz Estes, her best friend's brother and the ruthless CEO of the company she worked for. When she accidentally bumped into him at work, a blurry photo of him catching her in his arms was leaked to the company group chat. "Looks like someone's trying to climb the corporate ladder vertically." Her colleagues instantly turned on her, mocking her for shamelessly trying to seduce the boss. She was publicly humiliated, completely isolated, and treated like a scheming pariah who would do anything for a promotion. It was just a drunken accident, yet her professional reputation was completely ruined. She was terrified of losing her job and destroying her friendship, but the thought of losing her mother's dying gift was the most unbearable of all. Why was he letting this happen to her? When she was suddenly summoned to the top-floor executive office, she thought she was going to be publicly fired. Instead of cowering, Eleanor's fear turned into anger, and she marched in to demand her necklace back and end this nightmare. But as she stepped inside, Cruz locked the heavy doors, dangled the glowing emerald from his fingers, and smiled like a predator who had finally trapped his prey.”
