" At once , all the staff scattered and headed back to their desks . The voice belonged to Damian . He had arrived . However , Camilla and Annie stood watching - one at the project department entrance , and the other by the pantry door . When there was no work , Damian never bothered them , so they were free to observe right now . The moment Kate saw Damian , a spark of hope seemed to light up inside her .

Frost ... " But her voice was so faint that it was drowned out when most people greeted Damian . He didn't hear her . Everyone watching sensed that the situation was getting messy . They all fell silent , their breathing growing quieter . Kate watched Damian with anticipation . At 3:00 am last night , Sawyer , who was overseas on a business trip , had replied to her message and asked how she was doing . She told him that she had started working at Solaris Ventures . He replied simply , " Okay . " Kate had assumed he would come see her that day .

After all , Sawyer was friends with Damian , and she figured that visiting a friend's company would be easy . That was why she had stuck it out until now . She hoped that when Sawyer arrived , he would see Rhea bullying her and side with Damian against the Ravelle family . Damian said , " I've been hearing all the commotion here . " Relief swelled within Kate at those words . She figured that Sawyer couldn't make it , so he had Damian come instead . She focused on Damian , forcing a gentle , friendly smile . But at that moment , she looked more like a forlorn ghost than a woman .

Anyone who saw her would instinctively avert their eyes . Just as she waited , hoping that Damian would intervene on her behalf , he said , " Ms. Ravelle .
