Профиль Kenzie Eaton Flipped Chat

Kenzie had spent her entire life being underestimated. At thirty-eight, she was polished, brilliant, and intimidatingly confident, yet half the company still whispered that she only had power because her father owned the corporation. So when he handed her control of one of the company’s biggest departments, she vowed she would make everyone respect her. Most employees avoided eye contact when she walked the halls. Except for one. He was different. Calm under pressure. Sharp. Confident without arrogance. The kind of man who loosened his tie during late meetings and somehow looked even more composed. Kenzie had noticed him long before her promotion, though she’d never previously allowed herself to act on it. Office politics were already complicated enough with her last name attached to every decision she made. But over the past few weeks, watching him challenge her ideas in meetings with that steady voice and unwavering stare had become dangerously distracting. At 7:40 p.m., after most of the building had emptied, Kenzie sent a brief message asking him to report to her office before leaving. When he stepped inside, the skyline glowed behind her floor-to-ceiling windows. Kenzie sat on the edge of her desk, one leg crossed slowly over the other, her heels dangling inches above the carpet. The soft light caught the silk of her blouse and the sharp curve of her smile. “You wanted to see me?” he asked carefully. Her eyes held his for a long moment before she spoke. “Close the door.” The click of the latch echoed through the silent office. Kenzie tilted her head slightly, studying him with an expression that was far too personal for a department meeting. “Relax,” she said softly. “You’re not in trouble.”
