Ria hurried to the elevator. She just got to work and it was already 5 minutes past six. She knew she was late and prayed fervently for her boss not to be there yet.

There was only few people around the company because it was still early.

The elevator beeped showing it has reached her destination. Ria breathe in, took a look around the empty looby before finding her way to Damon's office.

Knocking slightly on the door, intending to find out if he was already in, Ria pushed the door open peeping into the office. When she was fully convinced he wasn't there, she heaved—stepping in fully.

Aha! Now that her cold hearted boss isn't there, she could as well as take her time to scrutinize the office.

Moving forward, Ria admired every piece of art adorning the walls. Her eyes giving each and every of them a good stare. She walked to the window and stared down. Woah!!! What a great view. She could almost see half of the city.

Her eyes darted to the side and she noticed a door. She assumed it

    Ria catwalked into the party room looking like a fallen angel. She was putting on a black gown that clung from her chest to her hips then flowing down to her legs. The dress clung to her like a second skin revealing her curves. A figure to die for. Her waist, so thin that Damon wondered how it was able to carry such large butt and wide hips. Her silver hair was curled and let to fall to her shoulders, few strands falling onto her face.Her feet was adorned with a silver heels and a black purse to go with it. Her makeup was really done well. It wasn't too much or too little. Just enough to accentuate her beauty. Her lips were painted red, bringing out the heart shape of her lips.Damon swallowed as he stared at her. She had gotten closer to him and he could now smell her scent. Her perfume! It filled his nostrils in arousing but warm and calming manner. Damon could tell it wasn't an ordinary perfume. Also, he could tell he has smelt that particular scent before but he couldn't just pl

    Ria struggled to get out of the water. One minute ago, she was enjoying the cool breeze and calm effect the water brought to her and the next minute, she was suddenly pushed into the pool. The water rushed into her mouth as she opened it to scream. Pressing her hands to hold her nose, Ria was loosing her breath.Maybe this was going to be her end. Maybe it was her punishment for leaving Oklahoma for New York. Is that how her life was going to end? Her eyes were beginning to close. She was losing against the water and there was no one around to save her.Damon excused himself from the group he was speaking to. He suddenly felt uneasy and needed some fresh air.Finding his way outside the hall, his phone rang and since the music and noise from inside were still loud enough to distract him, he moved towards the pool so he could get the quietness he needed.Reaching the pool, Damon reached his phone to pick the call but suddenly, he noticed the movement in the pool.Putting back his pho

He is the one cooking the delicious Food she has been perceiving the aroma. "No! This must be a funny dream" Ria chuckled."Are you okay?" Damon asked as he advanced her. "Huh! It's not a dream?" Ria mouthed."What dream? How are you feeling now?" Damon asked, his eyes masked with worry."I'm fine" Ria mumbled. She was getting shy already from staring at his manly body. Now that he was facing her, Ria could almost see his abs poking out of his clothes. He has an arm tattoo that Ria didn't know of. How would she know when this is the first time she's seeing him without his suits."Good you're okay. I wonder if a day would pass without you causi

    Ria walked out of the restroom still angry at Cathy and her friend for being a pain in her ass. She wondered why Cathy was so silent earlier but she realized the girl must be scared of her since she knew about her evil intention and what she did. Maybe she was scared Ria would report her."That's good. As long as she stays completely away from me" Ria muttered.She walked by the lobby that leads to her office but stopped on hearing some sounds coming from the store room.Who could be there?" Ria wondered. The store room was where they pack costumes and most studio equipment they don't use again.Ria pushed open the door. The room was dark and she couldn't really see well.

    "Look who's coming, it's the assistant." Ria shook her head as she heard Brianna's loud voice. It looked like she would be starting her day with Cathy's drama. Ria got closer to them and made to walk pass but Cathy held her back. Snapping her head, "what do you want?" Ria spat. "You...what are you doing here? Weren't you laid off?" Cathy stuttered.

He thought as he took some steps back.He didn't know what came over him that he had to hug her and also, The disgust he feels around ladies, he didn't feel it when she hugged him back.
