“What are you two laughing about in here?”
I heard my best friends voice coming from behind me. Smiling I whirl my head to see her standing in the doorway.
Her blond hair was pulled into a messy bun on top of her head. She was smiling a bright smile, but there was no twinkle in her eyes. I feel like my best friend has changed so much over these past few months. I look over to see Williams watching her with a smirk, does he realise that she wasting away? Every day she looks thinner, more tired. She’s tearing herself apart and it’s killing me.
Emma perches on Williams lap, going to give him a small peck on the cheek. But he grabs her chin, placing his mouth firmly on her own. She looked surprised but still returned it. I couldn't tell if she was really uncomfortable, or just shocked that her boyfriend was making out with her in front of his PA.
I bit my lip hard to try and stop myself from saying anything, casting my gaze elsewhere while they finished s
I have no right to be jealous. I sat in a deserted meeting room thinking about what Mr William’s had just unloaded onto me. If Luke had really wanted me, he wouldn’t of gone out with another girl only days after what happened. But then again, I rejected him so he can do whatever the fuck he wants see if I care. But I do care- I groan. Covering my burning face with my hands. Why is this so complicated? No it doesn't need to be complicated. I take a deep breath and slowly stand up. I just need to forget about this and move on, there are more important things than my Boss's love life. Suddenly I could feel eyes on me, the pit in my stomach grows larger. I can feel my hands start to shake under the intensity. Hesitantly I look out the window of the meeting room, only to be met with a pair of crystal blue eyes. I cursed the flock of butterflies that raised at once glance of his face. It was strange, I haven't s
Some people are lucky enough to experience several life changing moments throughout their life. I use to think i was one of those people but as my life went on and I lived through so many more changes I realised that all of my life changing moments could be summed up into one word or maybe two. All of those different twists and turns, love, loss and hardships all trace back to one moment and one person and one word.It’s 3am and I sit alone. The sound of planes taking off and landing ring in my ears. A burning anger grows inside me. As I lean again
" You WHAT!?” My mother screamed at me. My heart beat faster, my palms becoming sweatier by the second. I loved my mother and this really wasn’t something I wanted to have to tell her at a time like this.“I-I lost my job...” I whispered, casting my eyes down completely ashamed. My mothers glare was icy cold and it really wasn’t helping with my guilt.
The bar was practically empty.Apart from the same old damaged man who sits in the corner drowning his sorrows in pints of beer and shots of vodka, he did a little singing every so often. The middle age lady who sat swirling her wine around her glass for two hours, just staring into space. The bar was mostly silent- thank god.The manag
I slammed my phone down onto the coffee table, distraught. Stupid Cupcake shop, who even likes cupcakes anyway?Despite there being hundreds of ads for jobs in the newspaper it seemed that nobody was hiring. Either that or nobody wants a washed up, dead, abusive, criminal billionaire’s daughter working for them. I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to even think about changing my last name.
My heart felt as if it had wings and they were beating at my chest begging me to run in the other direction . A part of me begged for me to listen to those wings, that this was a really really bad idea. But i didn’t have the money to listen to that part of myself, or those wings. Instead I just keep walking towards the intimidating front door that was the entrance was to a shiny silver building as tall as... well i don’t think I’ve ever seen something so tall, so elegant before. Especially a building, the one my father had wasn’t even close. It had a very modern, classy feel about it. The bright silver seemed to smile at me beckoning me close. As a doorman opened the smooth wooden oak door for me and i bowed my head, thankful for the gesture, even
" Ah Mia could you just give me a minute I need to grab something from the reception, Wait for me?”I nod and watch Emma as she scurries across towards the reception desk. I had finished the first day of my trial and I’m glad to admit that the afternoon was slightly better than the morning. It may of been for Emma’s inspiring speech at lunch she gave to me on the importance of hard work and determination or because maybe I was finally getting the hang of it.
I wake up to a swollen tear stained face and the room ice cold. I hadn’t had enough spare money to fix the heater yet. Another thing for my mother to bicker about.Sitting up on my makeshift bed in the lounge I listen trying to see if any sounds were coming from my mothers bedroom. I had managed to avoid her last night, I caught Leo at a time where he wasn’t surrounding himself with supermodels or work and decided to take full advantage of it. We sat in his kitchen laughing and drinking wine till 1am.

Leo sits down next to me. A small smile now playing on his lips. How could he see the light in any of this? Then I remember that Emma just admitted her feelings for him. Good for him, I wish I knew what it felt like to be him right now. To like somebody so much and know they like you back. Then I think of Luke... then the club and I remember that I do know what it feels like. Only I knew Leo won't fuck it up like I did. He grins at me, the cheekiness shining in his eyes. " Talk about a quiet night in aye?” He chuckles. I stare at him, frowning. "She's never going to talk to me again Leo, I'm sorry if I don't feel quite like celebrating." " She's going to talk to you again, you're best friends. She can't ignore you forever." " Yeah well she's done a pretty good job ignoring the way she feels about you all these years, that kind of stamina... I should be expecting the worse." I sigh, burying my face in my hands. I should of tho
Luke Harding seemed to make it a point to avoid me at all costs. Which is strange because I feel like I see him more than before. But he won’t look at me or talk to me, let alone touch me. I wonder if he was scared of me and what happened in that meeting room. Or maybe he was caught up finding me drunk in Central Park, in the middle of the night. I can’t help but be upset and extremely embarrassed. I had this ridiculously hot guy interested me and I rejected him, over and over again. All for what? To save myself from my past? Gosh I don’t even know anymore. The only thing clear in my minds was that breath taking kiss we shared. The mind blowing feeling that pulsed through my body at his touch. I remember betraying everything I felt, then crying myself to sleep. After my talk with Leo it seems to be the only fucking thing I could think about. Pathetic, that’s what my father would have called me. Then again my father’s dead. If Mr Ha
It seemed to be that time of year again, ball season. I was familiar from my years as a child. But also once when I was slightly older and my Mother managed to get us invited to one, she was dating some rich fraud who ran away with our money. I have been out of the high society ball loop for long time now. But even so, I had heard of Harding Industry’s annual charity Gala. From what I knew it was all long elegant dresses and smart tux’s in an elaborate ballroom filled with romantic flowers. Everybody who was anybody was invited. So of course I wasn’t going to be going, no hard feelings, I prefer to stay home with my friends anyway. However I was helping to plan it. Of course Mr Harding’s and his assistant were in charge of the overall planning, but myself and Mr Williams were put in charge of decorating the venue. Which was a huge job. I was looking through the list of approved samples sent through by Mr Harding when Mr Williams walked in. I wat
We arrive at Club Trix during what seemed to be peak hour. Leo apparently knew the owner of what seemed to be the best club in New York, which means we got to jump the cue. I wonder how much Leo comes here if he has managed to be on first name basis with the owner. I guess sometimes it pays to have friends stuck in high class society. The music was blaring loud as we stepped out onto the large dance floor. Lights were flashing rainbow in all different directions. Some of the crowd was scattered at the bar ordering drinks or flirting with the bartender. Others were sitting in the booth areas dotted around the outside. Most of the booths were dark, I was unable to see faces. But I could see a silhouette of a man close to us. He had two woman draped over him. They were clawing at his chest, whispering in his ear. I couldn’t see who they were. All I could feel was that man’s eyes on me. I could feel my checks redden, butterflies beating willingly against my stomach.
“Mia you know Luke right?” I could hear my bosses voice in the distance but it was fuzzy. Everything in me seemed to be focused on him. It was a strange feeling, a pull almost like I was a magnet and all I could do was fall into his arms. I was utterly transfixed and I hated myself for it.I could hear Mr Williams chuckling as I whisper an inaudible response.He looked illegal in a crisp whit
" Emma, I hardly think Mr William’s will agree to that-” I try to protest. Mr Williams had been on my ass about this, I know he won't be happy with me if he find out I'm crashing his perfect date." Yeah well you shouldn’t of sold me out and he shouldn’t of taken your stupid deal. So I don’t give a rats ass what either of you think.” She snapped. I have never seen Emma so angry with me. I mean granted what i did was pretty crap and completely out of character.I mean I hate buying into the lies and all the fake bu
I was finally getting a hang of this whole PA thing. The end of the week was nearing and I have to say that things are getting so much easier. The gossip has seemed to of died down and I haven't seen him since our encounter in the lobby, so all is well.Although it is at times stressful, being a PA is pretty easy. Then again this week had been what Mr Williams called an ‘off week’. Which apparently meant that there were limited meeting although the load was pretty average it could get a whole lot worse. I don’t know, I would be pr
