The waiter arrives with water and bread, and Oliver seamlessly shifts back into his composed self, ordering for both of them with efficient precision. "Osso buco for me, and the lasagna al forno for her," he adds, nodding to the waiter as the man scribbles on his pad and disappears back toward the kitchen. Oliver settles back into his chair, his posture relaxing just a fraction now that they are out of the public eye. He picks up the small olive oil bottle and places it in the centre of the t

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 134: Gossip

    Knox looked up, his parrot green eyes blinking as if he were only just realizing that time existed in the real world and was not just a concept to be ignored in favour of colour theory. He glanced at Harper’s phone, then at the clock on the wall, letting out a long, dramatic sigh of disappointment. “Time,” he muttered, as if it were a personal enemy. "The absolute thief o' creativity." He slumped back into his chair, thought his eyes were still dancing with the adrenaline of the breakthrough. He looked down at the mess of swatches, sketches and scribbled notes on his desk. "No' this very second," he said, waving a hand dismissively at the chaos. "I've got tae actually sketch these visions afore they vanish clean oot ma heid. Need tae turn this madness intae somethin' a pattern maker willnae take one look at an' burst oot laughin'." He paused, his expression shifting from manic excitement to a brief moment of practical calculation.“Alright,” Harp

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 133: Stormy Aesthetic

    “What are you thinking for the stormy aesthetic?” Harper asked curiously, holding up the deep winter swatches which include the colours: midnight, olive, expresso, silver, grey, charcoal, mocha, wine, brick red, ruby, Boysen berry, fuschia, magenta, mustard, honey, Ocea, dark green, forest, jungle, royal purple, mulberry, purple, royal blue, Aegean, and ceru lean. Knox snatched the swatches from her hand, spreading them across the desk like he was dealing a winning hand in a high-stakes game. His parrot green eyes darted over then, his lips moving silently as he processed each colour. “Stormy aesthetic,” he repeated, tasting the words. "Aye, it's got tae feel heavy. Atmospheric. No' just dark, but properly moody." He pointed a manicured finger at the charcoal and midnight. "There's oor foundations. The sky, the shadows. But then..." he paused, picking up the ruby and the wine swatches, holding them up against the charcoal."The contrast. I want these d

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 132: Summer Colours

    Behind the female employee there is a white shelving units filled with storage boxes, books, binders, decorative objects and small potted plants. On the right, a large whiteboard is covered with handwritten notes, diagrams, sketches and colourful sticky notes, suggesting project planning, design ideas or production schedules. Brown papers shopping bags are stacked nearby, possibly intended for packing finished products or storing materials. To the left stands a red tailor’s dress on a mannequin torso, mounted on a stand. It is decorated with white circular markings. Harper walked to the back of the room to Knox’s workspace. Numerous design materials and sewing supplies are spread neatly across the large white worktable. Several spools of thread in various colours– including red, carol, black, grey and white– stand upright near the front edge of the desk.Beside them are colour swatches and fabric sample cards displaying rows of different thread colour.

    Tera did not move. She just kept leaning against the desk, her eyes fixed on him with a look that was neither angry nor sad– just expectant. “There,” he began but she interrupted him. “Change,” she stood straight. “Fuck that shit. I do not care if you change. Fuck half the city for all I care. Just do not neglect me.” Marius blinked completely thrown. He had prepared himself for a breakdown, a screaming match, maybe even a slap. He had not prepared for this– this raw, almost desperate demand for attention over morality. “You are serious?” he asked his voice flat with disbelief. “You are actually saying that?” he stepped back, shaking his head slowly. He looked at her– really looked at her– and saw the way she was holding herself. It was not weakness; it was a challenge. She was drawing a line in the sand and telling him exactly where it was.“Neglect you,” Marius repeated, the word

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 130: A Soap Opera

    Around 3 PM Harper went down to the design floor to meet Knox. Tera came into Marius’s office. Marius was reviewing the casting notes when the door to his office opened. He did not look up immediately, assuming it was Harper returning with more detail from Knox. “I need you to sign something for me,” Tera said, leaning against the doorframe. She held a single sheet of paper between two manicured fingers. “Tera. What is this?” Marius asked, glanced up, his expression neutral. “Just some paperwork from the marketing side,” she said, stepping into the room with that familiar, breezy confidence. She placed the paper on his desk and lingered, her gaze sweeping over the office before settling on him. “You look busy. I did not want to interrupt, but it is quick.” She rested her hand on the edge of his desk, her fingers tapping a slow rhythm against the wood.Marius picked up the paper, scanning it with practiced indifference. &ld

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 129: Bothered

    “I will run it past Knox, when I go over later on in the day,” Harper said already turning back to the door. “I will type over the notes form the meeting with Hank and email it to you.” “Good plan,” Marius said, watching her turn. “And Harper? If Knox starts getting weird about the ‘student’ think, just remind him that ‘authenticity’ is what he was preaching about this morning. That usually shuts him up.” He leaned back, watching her exit. The office felt larger again, the silence settling back in around him. He picked up the Ceasar salad container she had left earlier, noticing it was barely touched. He opened the container and took a bite of the salad, it was decent, but he found himself distracted, staring at the door she had just walked thought. His phone buzzed on the desk. An email from Harper with the subject line: notes from meeting with Hank.Marius opened it immediately. Harper’s notes wer

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 8: Your Job?

    “Housekeeping might throw it all away.” Harper said softly, looking down at the papers on the floor. “Organizing your office and paperwork is my job,” she adds. Oliver’s expression softened slightly at her insistence; a hint of admiration mixed with the frustration i

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 7: Interuptions

    “That is it,” Oliver encouraged against her breast, his voice muffled by the flesh pressed against his lips. “Show me how much you want this.” His free hand moved to cup her other breast, kneading gently while his mouth worked relentlessly on the first. The contrast betwee

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 6: Mess

    Oliver’s eyes darkened with satisfaction at her admission, a low growl of approval rumbling in his chest. The confession that her nervousness was due to attraction, not fear, sent a wave of possessive heat through him. “Attractive?” he repeated, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “You think

  • Paperwork and Hearthbeats   Chapter 5: Professional Distance...

    Oliver’s eyes widened slightly at her blunt observation, a low chuckle escaping his lips. The sound was rich and unexpected, breaking the usual seriousness, he carried around the office. “In a hurry,” he repeated, his voice laced with amusement. “You are saying my designers need to consider emergen
