Chapter 01.

Andy's POV:

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to have a crush on your boss?

No seriously?! You work and work, but yet the whole time you can never get him out of your mind!!

I was drawing something, or probably someone in my notebook. We were in the middle of an important meeting, but it's been typical of me to do this.

I was drawing carefully his beautiful eyes, they didn't seem pretty much like his beautiful ones, but whatever I'm willing to do anything to keep me busy from daydreaming about him all over again.

The way he moves his strong hands whenever he explains an idea, or the way he says something funny and smirks.

ARGH!! I'm doing it again daydreaming about my boss.

"Someone thinks my idea isn't interesting" he said standing right on top of my head, I could see his shadow fixing on my notebook.

My eyes widened, I froze still holding the pen in my hand, unable to make a move, or even a reaction.

I slowly started to raise my head up to look into his blue ocean eyes, damnit!!

"I... I don't think your idea..." I started saying but he approached me, narrowing his eyes when he noticed my stupid drawing.

"Looks like someone got a talent" he smirked holding my notebook to take a closer look.

He narrowed his eyes again trying to figure out who the guy was, he was curious, he glanced at me, smirking, GOD!! I think he knows it's him.

"I think someone is falling in love" he said, closing my notebook, starts to walk away from me holding my notebook, thank god my drawing skills suck!! Eventually he didn't know he was the one I was drawing.

He sat on the chair holding his chin, still staring at me, I could swear he was lost in my eyes for a moment.

I looked away from his eyes, not able to handle all that heat coming from him, not anymore. I'm a professional, I'm responsible, I'm an adult and I must respect my job.

"So, Andy, can you tell us what you think about the idea I was just sharing?" he asked, narrowing his eyes when he caught me blushing from embarrassment, he knew I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying.

"I think...it's an interesting idea" I said ignoring the fact that I might've agreed to some idea that wasn't good, that what happens when you daydream about your boss, this is why you mustn't fall for your boss, or someone you work with.

"Really? So, you think it's a good idea that I decided that you'll be the one to take the full responsibility, and start giving inspirational ideas for this commercial?" he asked, I gasped looking back at him, me? He decided that I should be the one to work on this project?

"really?...err, I mean yes sir, yes!!! I can do it!!" I said excitedly he nodded with a smile appearing on his lips, he seemed to enjoy my excitement about this.

"Any ideas?" He asked, looking at everyone, he was expecting some ideas to start our commercial. It was a perfume company, a famous perfume company. I was getting a good idea but before I could speak, someone spoke before I did.

"How about, a confident, independent woman, who wears this perfume...we can definitely use a famous woman, and sexy" she said looking at him while she bites her lower lip, she's trying to seduce him!!! In public!! He cleared his throat, took his hands from his pockets, started walking towards me, he was looking for one of my ideas, as usual.

"sir, I think that idea, is old" I said giving the girl a disgust glare, he smirked, "I think we should try something new, like, how about… a guy who's on a date, with this fancy and beautiful women, but when he's so close to her, he starts to inhale her perfume, but he's not satisfied about her perfume" I said everyone gasp, while my boss shushed them, walking closer to me, seemed to be interested, he wants me to continue.

"That's because, he was only satisfied about his ex-girlfriend scent, he starts to remember her, he misses her, runs from the date and only thinks about her, and her scent, that's because she was wearing the perfume we're trying to market" I said tapping my pen on the table.

"this is different!" he said, nodding at me, "good different?" I asked excitedly, "good different" he answered me, he headed to his chair sitting again, he was now writing down some notes.

"Okay, so we got the brand story, now we need a compelling tagline that suggests confidence, power, passion" he said, everyone was still thinking, but since it was my idea, I already have a good one.

"how about...make him remember you?" I suggested waiting for his reaction, "that's a good one, shows confidence, controlling power, and lasting impression, and it doesn't include seducing or famous women" he said the last part glaring at the girl she tried to seduce him earlier, I chuckled, while she was pissed.

"Good job" he said admiring my work, "don't mess this up, it's a famous perfume company, our company's reputation rests in your hands" he warned me and left, ending the meeting, I remembered that my notebook was still with him.

If he opens it, it'd be the end of me. I got up from my chair gathering my stuff in a rush, storming out of the meeting room. I really have to get that notebook immediately.

I opened his office forgetting to knock, his face was surprised to see me, of course he'll be surprised, I barged in without even knocking, forgetting my manners, hold yourself together Andy, he's just your boss.

"yes? Andy?" he asked, making me realize I had been standing there staring at him, without saying a word for what seemed like ages.

"my...notebook" I finally managed to speak, I have to stop acting like a complete fool. He walked closer to me holding my notebook, he opened it, I stiffened, what's he trying to do?

"Is he an employee in this company?" he asked, making me flinch.

"what?" I asked, hoping he didn't know my big secret, he came even closer, glancing at my drawing, then looked again at me.

"the guy" he said pointing to my notebook, "it's...just that I..." I started saying but he closed my notebook making me flinch again, "I don't care, as long as it's not one of our employees, you know the rules Andy, our company is professional company, we have certain boundaries" he said warning me, I felt breathless and numb. It's not just the words themselves, but the weight of their meaning, he doesn't care. It's not like I was expecting otherwise, but at least I was...dreaming, hoping, wishing for it. But his words burnt it all.

"Is that understood?" he asked, still looking at me, "yes, sir" I said while he nodded, handing me back my notebook, I held it and left his office calmly feeling tears start falling down my cheeks.

I've daydreamed about him since the first time I put my foot inside this company, when I was just an intern, my feelings started three years ago, yet it still hurts, it so freaking hurts, to love someone you know you can't have.

I opened my notebook and glanced at it once more, he's out of my league, and I need to let it go.

I sat on my chair, whipping my tears, and started taking deep breaths, again and again till I finally pulled myself together.

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

I can't believe I actually did this!!

My commercial idea... My hard work has finally been rewarded. The perfume company we worked with, decided to throw a party for us, a huge Halloween party, to celebrate our successful commercial. I was getting ready for the big party that is tonight.

"oh my god!! You have to let me do your makeup, and your hair, you need curls!!" Tress said holding my black half-face Halloween mask, I rolled my eyes, "don't get too excited, I'm only wearing this because everyone is wearing dresses, plus this is just a work party" I said taking the mask away from her.

"please, Andy, can I just take care of your look? Pretty please? Just for tonight!! And you know Mr. Hot Boss will be there too, there's nothing wrong about a little makeup, a sexy dress, curls, and high heels!! Adding to that, you worked very hard on this commercial , you need to have some fun!!!" she scowled, I looked into her pleading eyes, I gave up, thinking how right she was, handing her the mask back, she scowled again from excitement.

After a lot of work, Tress finally finished looking at me from head to toe admiring what she sees, I was curious about my look, so I finally turn to look at the mirror behind me, I gasped touching my face, and checking my black strapless dress with one shoulder, I was totally looking at some other girl, who was hot, tha half-mask was showing my red lips and my gray eyes, my black hair was curled in a perfect way. I was even a little bit taller, wearing the black high heels.

"girrrl!!! You go get him" she said jumping from excitement, I laughed at her, "you're acting like a freaking ferry guard mother" I said she giggled, "that's because I 'am your fairy guard mother" she said offering me a hug, we hugged, she's my best friend and my crazy roommate.

"Now get that butt out of here, you have a party to attend, and a boss to get" she said I sigh at the last word, knowing that's so good to be true.

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

When I got to the party, I wasn't that confident anymore, Tress isn't here anymore, and I don't have many friends at work. As I walked through the grand entrance of the hotel, I felt a buzz of excitement, the place looked amazing, with the decoration everywhere, it was one of these fancy parties you watch on TV, people were dressed up fancy, and chatting happily.

I followed the crowd to a big room, where the party was happening. I gasped looking at the bright light, the huge chandelier that was hanging in the middle, and the people whose dancing to the music that was playing, while my eyes traveled through the crowd, my eyes found my boss's eyes gazing at me, his eyes widened in surprise, I stiffened not taking my eyes from, or should I say from his charming look, he was wearing a black tuxedo with a black half-mask showing his blue ocean eyes , his short hair was neatly styled back. I gulped, decided it's time to look away, but before I did so, Harris started walking towards me, I panicked, feeling nervous already.

I cleared my throat to say something but he took a step closer to me, offering his right hand to me.

"it's not like it's our first dance" he said, I gaped from surprise, what does he mean? I wasn't expecting this at all, is this kind of a daydream? I accepted putting my hand in his, feeling the heat of our hands connection.

"I hope you're ready" he whispered in my ear from behind me, his body near mine, we were in the center of the crowd, everyone was looking at us, while he was leading, I was only following, I know some moves, but he was a freaking pro.

I smiled at him when the dance was over. His face was so close to mine, his nose was touching mine. I never thought I'll be this close to Harris, but yet here I am living the dream.

When we were walking away from the dance floor, he was still holding my hand gently, he was smiling at me, I smiled back , his eyes never leave mine, his smile started to vanish, this is it...I think I'm busted, I think he just had realized it was me...Andy the girl who works at his company.
