Chapter 01 Scarlett's POV I was rushing across the corridor, my breath ragged from my exhaustive and never-ending runs.I apologized for hitting someone while still racing quickly and with my face forward.

Chapter 03Scarlett's POV The following morningI walked over to the desk next to Lilian, Alexander's secretary, and said, "Morning," with a slight smile."Morning.." She paused, her eyebrows lifted. I answered, smiling a little, "Scarlett."I will be helping her because I am the assistant secretary. This is exactly the position I applied for, but now that I have it, I feel anxious. This could be because I will occasionally need to be with Alexander, but it also could not be.

I had to make a promise to my twins that I wouldn't be gone for too long—hopefully, I won't—after they whined about how much they missed me.I started working again at 7 a.m. so I could complete the tasks I started yesterday.Lillian and Alexander were among the few workers who appeared to have arrived.When I arrived at his office to thank him for ordering me to leave last night's job unfinished, he wasn't there.Let's get started, I heaved as I sat down and got right to work.** After two hours **"Hey, you already arrived?"
