Fiona POVMy fingers brush the edge of the glass containing the last traces of Black Ivory beans in the office. I push up onto my toes, trying and failing to reach the container.“I don’t know whether to be sorry for King Nolan or to see this as an opportunity,” a woman’s voice says from outside the
I haven’t seen him in action, but the clear admiration tells me that Nolan is good at what he does.As the meeting begins, I make sure to pay attention, typing out the information in short yet detailed notes. Several of the workers around the table present information to Nolan, and with each person,
Fiona POV“You will formally take over responsibility for the meeting materials and records as well as keeping tabs on the proposal Mr. Parson gave.”After making my way back to my desk, I have to sit down because my head is still spinning from what King Nolan said. I haven’t even been here for a we
I don’t want to make a fuss, so I continue digging.Pile after pile, and I still don’t find the document. I take out my list of documents I’d recorded, but again, I find no trace of the Armond file.“I’m sorry, but are you sure you brought it to me?”Supervisor Chanler scoffs at my question and shak
Fiona POVI laugh and take a sip of my drink. Why would Nolan be here? He’s probably still at the office, working late like usual. Not that he would be out drinking. I’m pretty sure it was a fluke that he was out the night we met.As I finish off my glass of wine, a man dressed in a maroon suit and
Being married to the Princess shouldn’t give him a free pass. So, after confirming Billy’s status as a detective, I pull my phone out.The bar music grows louder, and I lean closer to Billy to ask, “Can we exchange numbers? I want to be able to contact you if I find anything at the company and vice
Fiona POVThe words send my world crashing down around me.The hazy drunkenness cracks and shatters, washing over me like a cold shower. He knows about Andy. Nolan, the King and my boss, knows about the horrible mistake of a relationship with his son-in-law.My heart nearly stop as I stare up at him
Fiona POVNolan’s face freezes then he growls in frustration, “You no longer need to be obsessed with Andy. He is married and mated to my daughter now, and all you must do is stay away from him. He is no longer your boyfriend or your concern.”The sharp tone makes me sigh. I was wrong to think that
Fiona POVLeaning back, I let my body sink beneath the hot water. I soak in the vanilla rose scent, letting the warm and calming bath relax my tense muscles. Since it’s Saturday, I don’t have to worry about anything related to work, and I can just relax.I haven’t had a lot of time to just breathe a
Fiona POVOpening my eyes, I blink against the sunlight coming through the windows. The white ceiling above me rub at my eyes. Where the heck am I? My ceiling is a gross grey color and has weird water stains on it.I gasp, my breath coming in and out too quickly.Unease hits me, and I sit up, lookin
Fiona POVI hurry away from my desk before Nolan can call me to eat lunch with him. For the last three days, he’s found reasons to bring me to his office or out of the building for lunch. Yesterday, we met at his house during lunch time to deal with a party issue.Even though I keep trying to avoid
Fiona POVMaybe I should have waited for the bus.Originally, I hadn’t wanted to wait for the delayed vehicle, and again, I didn’t want to pay for a taxi. Taxi costs have been so high lately that usually, I would rather walk. Everything was fine when I started walking away from the company. There we
Fiona POV“Can I help you, sir?”When I enter, he motions me toward him and turns his computer screen my way as I stop beside his desk.“Which of these letter heads looks more professional for our company?”Did he seriously just ask that?Confusion and annoyance bubble up inside me, and I bite my to
Fiona POVStay away from Nolan. Stay away from Nolan. Stay away from Nolan. I keep the mantra on repeat in my head as I work. He’s probably still angry from last night, and with the confusion I feel and the rejection, I don’t exactly want to be anywhere near Nolan. He acted like the kiss wasn’t h
Fiona POVI try so hard to maintain my composure. I’m sure Nolan wouldn’t appreciate me melting into a puddle at his feet, so I take a deep, calming breath because if I don’t, I think my heart will jump right out of my chest.“Isn’t that actress your girlfriend? You should be taking her to the party
Nolan’s jaw ticks as he turns his gaze on me, “The meeting has been moved up, so I need these done tonight. You can take them to your desk and sort them.”With that, he takes a seat at his desk, turns his computer on, and waves me off. I sigh and scoop up the pile of papers while wobbling out to my
Fiona POVI sober up pretty quickly after Tara’s rude words and disgusted sneers. Her outward attitude toward me is so different than how she acts toward Nolan, and it makes me want to puke.Through the mirror, I notice that she touches him a lot. Actually, she touches him entirely too much for my l
