Happy reading.... 

**********************************

Grace Alder Pov.

I woke up early with a mission in my mind. Today I have to apologise to Mr. Kingsley, and for I came up with a plan. I planned to buy something as an apology but I'm not sure, what to gift him. 

After thinking about an hour I came up with only one thing in my mind. Beautiful bouquet with a sorry note. I called Kate and asked her if Mr. Kingsley has any allergies to flowers and she said no. So that means I can pick any flower. 

I went to the shop and immediately fell in love with the smell of fresh flowers. There were so many beautiful bouquets but one that just caught my eyes. 

"Excuse me came you pack this one and do have a card and pen? " I asked the lady. She hands me a pen and a card. I stared at the card not knowing what to write. I just wrote a little sorry and my name on the card and closed it. 

"Here, you have a good taste in flowers," Lady said. 

" Thank you. " I handed her the money and attached the note with the bouquet. 

Knocking on his door I enter when said 'come in'. First I was shocked and nervous to know Mr. Kingsley was early today and now I have to face him otherwise I have planned to just leave the bouquet on his table and left. 

"Good morning sir," I said. He didn't even look at me. I move and slowly placed the bouquet on the table. He finally looked up and saw what I did. 

" This is for you. " 

"Who the sender?" He asked. 

" Umm, it's... Youcanseeinthecard. " I said so fast, he might hadn't understood it. He lifts his eyebrows and I know he's going to ask again. 

" There is a card you can see. " I said and run out of his office. 

Entering my office I locked the door and lead on the side to take a deep breath.

'Woah that was tough.' 

Concentrating back on my work I start my day with the hope to not make any mistake today. He didn't call me to shout at me or something, is it means he had accepted my apology? 

Morning spent in silence I worked in my office and Mr. Kingsley was busy with back-to-back meetings. He has his next meeting in 20 minutes I have to inform him because this meeting is in a restaurant. He has to leave now if wants to reach on the time.

I called him, I'm avoiding any chance to see him.

"Sir you have a meeting in 20 minutes, and it's in a restaurant I already messaged you the address. "

"Okay, you came to my office and arrange the files here while I attend the meeting," he said.

Ughh I groaned in annoyance. I was perfectly avoiding him since morning but now I have no choice.

I went to his and saw it was empty, I guess he already left for the meeting. Signing in relief I looked for the files which I have to arrange.

And hell there is like 100 of these files

Are scattered around the whole office.  What the hell he was doing with all these files.

Taking one file from the floor I started arranging them nicely on a shelf. The soon I start the soon I finish.

30 minutes of struggle and I'm only halfway to completing my work. There are a lot more files than I have expected. Did he do this on purpose? Maybe just to annoy me.

No matter if he did this intentionally or not I have to finish this before he came back.

Lower shelves are done only upper shelves are left. They quite high I need some chair or something to reach them.

I took the wooden stool and start arranging files on the upper shelves.

15 minutes later only a few filed left to arrange. I'm happy that I don't have to encounter him. I took the last batch of files and carefully stand up on a stool. The shelf is quite high I have to stand on my tiptoes to reach it.

I was busy concentrating on arranging the files that I didn't hear someone entering in the room. I felt someone's eyes on me that make me uncomfortable. I turned to if there is someone and saw Mr. Kingsley standing just behind.

"Ahhhh..." I shouted and lost my balance. The remaining files on my hand were now on the floor and with papers scattered all around. I waited for the same to happen to me.

I shut my eyes and waited for the pain but it never comes. Instead of Landing on the floor, I landed on something else. I found two strong hands wrapped around my waist holding me.

Opening my eyes I came face to face with Mr. Kingsley. He was close to me that I can hear his heartbeat. I blinked few times to see if it's true or I'm dreaming but it was definitely true. He looked so handsome from the close-up.

"What the hell are you doing?" He yelled at me.

I came out of my dreamy world and pulled my hands back from his neck.

He helped me to stand again careful not to fall again. 

"Umm, I was just finished arranging the file you have asked for. "  I replied.

He ignored me and look at the mess that happens. "Do you call this arranging? Look what you had done. " I knew I'm ruined. 

" It happened because of you. Only if you had made any noise before coming, this would have never happened. " I whispered lightly.

" Are you saying these papers are on a floor because of me?" 

"Well, Yes..?" Okay, do you ever feel like you should not do that but you did? That's exactly what happens to me at this moment. No matter what he's my boss.

 I know I'm screwed. 

"YOU- " he was about to scold me but someone entered, definitely my savior. 

"Woah, Woah, man what is going on here. " Said the handsome man who just entered. Damn, he's hot, why everyone around Mr. Kingsley is hot? He looks familiar but don't remember where I have seen him. 

" What are you doing here Noah. " Oh his name is Noah, I should thank him later.

" Well can't I came to meet my lovely brother?"  Oh, he is Mr. Kingsley's brother. 

.......Wait... 

Brother....!? 

I never know he has a brother? 

" Noah." Mr. Kingsley said in a stern voice. 

" Fine I just came to tell you, I'm coming late tonight. I called you but you didn't pick so came by myself and now I know why you ignore my calls. " He said coming closer to us.

"Who is this beautiful lady by the way? I'm Noah Wills. " He said extending his hand out for me. 

" Hello, I'm Grace Alder. "I nicely introduced myself. 

" Beautiful name for a beautiful lady. " He said kissing the back of my hand. I blushed because no one has ever done this before. 

" What happens to your office?" He asked.

" Nothing. You clean this mess right now and you Noah Wills get out of my office. " He shouted at both of us. 

Is he always like that? 

" Not always. " Noah whispered to me. Shit "did I said it loud?" I whispered back. 

He gave me a nod. 

Murmuring a sorry I bent down to clean the mess. I saw a hand helping me and looked at Noah was also on the floor collecting the papers. 

10 minutes later we finally manage to collect and arrange the papers accordingly. 

" Here all done. " Noah said resting on a chair in front of Mr. Kingsley. 

" If you are done then get out. " Mr. Kingsley said without looking at him. 

" That's what I'm doing, but don't call your assistant for at least half an hour because I'm taking her for a small coffee break. " 

" Wait, when I agreed on this?" I asked. 

" Just when I helped you with all those papers. " He said with a smirk. 

In the end, Noah finally took me on a coffee break. We came to a little coffee shop near the office building. He was nice and not the jerk like his brother. As for brothers, I have a question. 

"Can I  ask you something? " He nodded. 

" You said brothers but your last name is different, I mean you're Wills and he's Kingsley, How?" I asked. He smiled and said. 

" We are brothers be heart. " I look at him confusingly. But didn't force him to answer. 

"By the way thank you for saving me in back there. " 

"It's nothing. " 

" Wait... " I said realising something. 

" You're Noah Wills. Like THE NOAH WILLS. " I shouted as realisation hit me. 

FUCK... He's THE NOAH WILLS, America's top model and he has his own modeling agencies. 

No reason why everyone was looking at us from the start. I'm drinking a coffee with the top model here. Fucking Shit... 

" Hey relax, I'm also a normal guy you know and I was kinda liking the part where you haven't recognise me. " He said. 

" I'm sorry didn't notice. I was too busy dealing with the jerk of my boss. " I said without thinking and when it hit me, I closed my eyes. Why you have to so careless Grace? You just insulted his brother in front of him. 

" I am s-" I was cut off by the loud laughter. Opening my eyes I saw Noah laughing like crazy. His face turned red while laughing. I confusingly stared at him and waited for him to stop. 

" Gosh, girl the first person who actually called him jerk in front of me. People who know our relation, don't even dare to talk to me about him. " 

" I am sorry. " I said. 

" No don't. I like that. And he is a kind of a jerk sometimes but not always. He's nice if you know him. He just doesn't like to talk much. " He replied. " Please don't tell him. " I requested. 

" Only one condition. " 

"What?" 

" You have to promise me to buy me lunch. " I chuckle hearing him. 

" Deal. " 

Coming back to the office I continued with my work. Mr. Kingsley asked for a coffee and I got panicked. But luckily I hadn't spilled his coffee this time. Once I was out I felt like I'm breathing again. 

Day three spend well and quite all thanks to Noah. I still can't believe I just met Noah Wills today. I have to tell this Aunt Olivia she was going to be crazily haring it.
