Mia's POV

I was waiting patiently in his office the next morning with the contract in my handbag.

"Good Morning, Mr Scott."

"I wish we could drop the formalities, Miss Jason. Wouldn't that be more comfortable?" His icy blue eyes locked with mine, challenging me. Unfortunately for him, I came prepared.

"I'd feel better if we could keep the formalities during and outside work, sir," I said in a mocking tone.

He scoffed and was about to say something when he glanced at his assistant Bella, who was there to take notes of our meeting.

"During and outside work huh?" He smirked, leaning in his chair. "Okay then, Miss Jason. Let's see how long you keep up with that."

I suddenly had the urge to punch the smug look off his face.

"I'd love to have another meaningless argument with you today but I'm tired from the wild night I had last night. Thanks to you invading my hotel room last night and pissing me off, I went to a nightclub and had hot sex with a stranger. Let's get this over with so I ca

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Step One

    Dylan's POV I wanted to apologise for hurting her and her family, especially her. I also wanted to explain myself and give answers to all her questions from ten years ago. But this wasn't the time for that yet.With this contract, though, I would make sure I have the right space and chance to talk to her about it.I picked up the contract, flipping through each page to see the so-called changes she's made.Miss Mia Jason agrees to spend personal time outside work hours with client Mr Dylan Scott, on all days of the week including weekends. She added under it, For three to four hours a day, weekends excluded.Four hours is more than enough for me. I could work with that.I smiled a bit as I read the next clause. During travel, Miss Mia Jason must sleep in the same room as the client, Mr Dylan Scott. She wrote under it in capital letters... DREAM ON. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.I looked up at her, amused. "Don't tell me you don't trust yourself enough to stay away from me, Miss Jason?"She g

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Awkward

    Mia's POV We walked through the building where Dylan's first official interview was being held. He walked with so much pride and confidence that no one would guess that he had not done a live interview before. I wanted to slap his head to bring him down to earth but that would be unnecessary trouble for me right now. He still had the same annoying poker face and closed-off attitude. I used to think I would be able to see through him, know how he feels and what he thinks about. But I could never understand Dylan and anytime I finally felt like he'd let me in, he'd quickly shut me out again. It hurt then because I was open and vulnerable with him. I showed him parts of me my brother is unaware of. I worked hard to strengthen our bond but he worked hard to push me away all the time. I think deep down I knew he didn't love me, but I had hope...I was desperate but that's all in the past now. I walked a few feet behind him, going through the interview questions and our other schedule

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Still Do

    Mia's POV I couldn't tell what he was thinking or feeling exactly but I know it wasn't good. Even when we were together ten years ago, it was hard to tell how he felt seeing me with other guys. I tried everything to make him notice me with them so he'd be jealous or something but he didn't. I regret it all. Wearing skimpy clothes and push-up bras, burying my dignity and respect just to get him to notice me. We'd get together, and I'd think it's for good until he pushes me away again, claiming he feels guilty for fucking his best friend's sister. "It's nice to meet you, Mr Scott," Nico said to Dylan cautiously, bringing me back to the present. "Can I give you my business card?" "I won't be doing any business with someone like you." He rolled his eyes. Nico chuckled. "Okay then, can I at least buy you a drink?" "I can buy my drinks, little man. Why the fuck are you trying to act like we're pals?" "Dylan!!" I gasped. Why was he being more rude than usual? Was he annoyed?

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Then

    Mia's POV "Where are we going anyway?" I asked as my brother fastened my seatbelt for me in the backseat of his car.I had only agreed to follow my brother when I found out Dylan was coming with us. Even though he's way older than me, I couldn't help but want to be around him all the time.He's a part of our family now– because he mostly sleeps and eats here but I'm not complaining anymore. I used to be annoyed with him for getting so much attention and care from my family, but now I don't mind seeing him every day. He was being bullied by school and street kids till my brother saved him one time and decided to be his friend while teaching him self-defence. He didn't know who his parents were because he was put in foster care at a young age, but I overheard him telling Michael that he doesn't care about his biological parents, so he doesn't have a reason to find them.One time, my parents asked if they could adopt him but he said no. Michael told me it's because he feels like a burd

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    First Kiss I

    About 11 Years ago...Mia's POV Liam and I had been together for two months, we started dating a week after I turned seventeen. My parents liked him but Michael didn't approve of our relationship. Not like I needed his approval anyway. We walked into a house party hosted by some guy I don't know. I looked around slowly for my brother and asked Liam to help."Your brother's over there." He pointed to the left side, holding my hand to lead the way.I smiled when I spotted Dylan close to my brother; I was wearing a short pleated skirt and an off-shoulder crop top just for him.My smile faded when we got closer and I saw a girl rush over to him. I wasn't surprised, though; girls are drawn to him like moths to a flame, and he never misses the opportunity to mess around with every one of them. I wished he'd mess around with me too.At a point, I thought my crush on Dylan would fade as I grew older, but that didn't happen. Instead, it became stronger...something more. I wasn't sure it was

    Mia's POV I shook my head slowly. I must be really drunk. There's no way it's Dylan, when did he get here? How did he even know where we were? He was clearly interested in that other girl when we left, so how is he here with his arm around my waist holding me tightly against himBefore I could get myself together, Liam got angry. "Yo, what the fuck do you think you're doing?" He stepped closer to us fuming.Dylan scoffed, then said, "Pipe down you little shit! Do you really think you stood a chance with Mia? Do you think she likes you or what? Well,, let me tell you now. I'm the reason she started going out with you, I'm the reason she's drunk out of her mind and here with you now!." He pulled me in closer, adding in a low tone, "She has my attention now."Liam opened his mouth to say something but Dylan interrupted him, "Don't you dare try to talk back at me! You're really lucky her brother didn't see you running your hands all over her body. I'm going to give you a chance to get th

    Present...Mia's POV I left Dylan without responding to his sudden confession. It didn't seem genuine as far as I'm concerned, but I ended up feeling bothered. The night seemed colder and longer than usual and it was hard for me to fall asleep, so I was annoyed when my phone kept buzzing. Who the hell is texting me so early in the morning anyway?I was about to switch off my phone when my phone rang. I groaned inwardly and answered the phone. "Hello, who is it?""Oh my gosh, Mia! You're a genius, using your personal history to make headlines!" Dominique squealed."Headlines? Personal history? What are you talking about D?" I rubbed my eyes slowly."No wonder you were so confident about the whole thing.

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    Are My Confessions not Enough?

    Dylan's POV She rolled her eyes and then looked at her wristwatch. "We don't have time for this, Mr Scott." She gestured at the wall clock in my office. "We have a photo shoot to get to right now before the next interview, so let's go before we miss it." She stormed out without waiting for a response.The ride there was twenty minutes of tense hell but I could understand why she was this upset. I guess I gave out too much information about our past, but I couldn't help it.When we got to the waiting room, I grabbed her hand and pulled her in close to hug her but she managed to drag her hand out of my grasp. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Mr Scott?"" I was trying to give you a hug. You used to calm down when I hugged you.""In case you may have forgotten; we're still just business partners." She sighed. "But yes, I used to. Emphasis on the used to. Now I really wish I never liked you in the first place.""Come on Mia. I know you don't mean that, you don't have to say what

  • Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister    The First Shoot

    Mia's POV “Mia, please listen…” He stepped forward with his hand stretched out to reach me.I stopped him before he could get to me. “That's enough Mr. Scott. We don't have time for this right now; we're here for business, remember?” I was getting really upset and I didn't want to suddenly burst into tears. Not here.“We're back to you calling me Mr. Scott again? what the hell do you want me to say or do to-”“I want you to stop talking nonsense and start getting ready for the photo shoot and interview.” I crossed my arms across my chest and sighed while trying to calm myself down. He was really getting on my last nerve.He scoffed then said in a childish tone, “Alright then, Mom! I'll get changed first.” He quickly removed his tie and unbuttoned his shirt.“Your clothes for the shoot aren't even here yet and you could've waited for me to leave the room first.” I shook my head and turned round to leave.“Why would you want to leave the room, Miss Jason? You've already seen me naked a
