Kayla’s POVBang, bang, bang."Harrison!"The sudden pounding on the door interrupted Harrison's teasing.Harrison released me, his eyebrows furrowing deeply. His intense green eyes remained fixed on the tightly closed door, his stern expression simmering with impending anger. He exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down my spine.Harrison suppressed his temper, stood up from the bed, and casually grabbed a piece of clothing to drape over himself.Just as he was about to stride out of the room, he glanced back at me and said, "Get dressed, stay here.""I see," I replied immediately.Facing Harrison's current wrathful demeanor, I complied without hesitation.I fastened my disheveled clothing, tidied up my hair, and then sat on the bed, hugging a pillow, losing my mind.As the time I spent waiting grew longer, the chaos outside escalated.Filled with worry for Harrison, I quietly opened the bedroom door and followed the sounds of the argument all the way to the living room."I don't
Kayla’s POVThe standoff between Harrison and Nathan last night has become the hottest topic in the office today.As one of the parties involved, I hadn't even stepped out of the elevator before I heard plenty of rumors and gossip about this dramatic event."Hey, did you guys hear? Kayla Reeves, the new editor, is apparently involved with our new CEO, Nathan. Rumor has it that she even got this job because the CEO arranged it for her!""Well, I knew about this ages ago! I mean, I saw it with my own eyes last night. Nathan went head-to-head with Harrison for her! Can you believe it? That's Harrison Morris! I don't know what kind of charm this woman has, but she managed to capture the attention of the two most eligible bachelors in Gorden City. Hmph!""You guys might not know this, but her motives are different from ours. Clearly, Kayla didn't join the magazine just to earn a salary. She wants to meet more wealthy and influential men through this job! Think about it. If the editor hadn'
Kayla’s POVOn Saturday night, as the bright car headlights flashed by the window, I immediately recognized Nathan's silver sports car parked downstairs.I glanced at the clock and realized it was 9:10 and I was late.I quickly fastened the necklace around my neck, grabbed my handbag, and hurriedly left my home."Sorry, Daisy was in high spirits today, and it took me a while to put her to sleep," I said as I opened the car door and took the passenger seat, looking at Nathan anxiously."I hope I haven't delayed you for the gala.""No worries," Nathan said with a smile, leaning towards me as his upper body moved closer. I was about to move away, but Nathan's hands were already around my neck, and his slender fingers readjusted the necklace around my neck."Now, everything is perfect."Nathan leaned back, looking at me with a satisfied smile, as if he were examining a rare gem."When the guests see you tonight, they'll understand that the wait was worth it."Nathan's compliment made me b
Harrison's POVI stood in the corner of the venue, watching as Kayla gracefully defused Henwick's challenges and ultimately earned his respect and approval.The girl who had been naive and innocent six years ago had transformed into a strong and elegant woman.A smile crept onto my lips, and I hadn't even realized it. I lifted my leg, about to walk over to Kayla to congratulate her on her success, when someone beat me to it.It was that man again, Nathan Barnes.I stopped in my tracks, standing there, squinting my eyes as I observed their interaction. Nathan smiled as he gazed at Kayla, his eyes emanating an unusual radiance.Kayla hadn't noticed my presence.She turned her head, engaging in conversation with Nathan, occasionally flashing a sweet smile.Perhaps she didn't understand the meaning behind Nathan's gaze. But as a man, I could accurately discern it. The gleam in his eyes was love.What infuriated me even more was that Kayla and Nathan were wearing identical evening gowns fr
Kayla’s POVAfter the banquet, Nathan drove me back to the front gate of the Westminster villa."Thank you for taking me home, Nathan," I turned to him and expressed my gratitude sincerely.However, quite unusually, Nathan had a somewhat forced smile on his face. He looked into my eyes but didn't say anything, just nodded.I hesitated and withdrew my gaze, placing my hand on the car door. Just as I was about to press the door release button, Nathan suddenly stopped me."Wait! Kayla!"I froze in place, turning back to look at Nathan."Can we talk?" Nathan's tone was somewhat urgent, and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.Seeing Nathan's expression, I hesitated for a moment but eventually withdrew my hand from the car door and straightened up in my seat, waiting for him to continue."Thank you," Nathan understood my gesture and relaxed, then took a deep breath."To be honest, these words have been weighing on my heart for a long time. Back when we were both in Europe, I wanted to
Kayla’s POVWith the final draft of the interview ready, the planning for Harrison's interview had gone smoothly for me. I was sitting at my desk, gathering information about the theme for next month. A colleague informed me that the editor-in-chief, Lilian, wanted to see me in her office.I put down the documents I was working on and headed to Lilian's office, feeling a bit curious about the reason for the meeting."Come in," Lilian's crisp voice called as I knocked on her door.I entered, feeling a touch of nervousness. "I heard you wanted to see me. Is it about the theme selection for next month?"Lilian gestured for me to sit down. "Stop being so tense, Kayla," she said. "You don't need to worry about planning next month's theme. I have a more important task for you."Lilian bent down and retrieved a thick folder from the bottom drawer of her desk. The folder made a loud thud as she placed it on her desk, and I could see the labels "Harrison" and "Golden Bachelor" on the cover."W
Kayla’s POVAfter arranging everything with the nanny for my daughter, I packed my bags and arrived at the airport on time.I had never flown in a private jet before, and I was a bit apprehensive.But as soon as I entered the airport, staff members escorted me to a private plane with "Morris" written on the wing.Once on board, to my surprise, the cabin was empty except for the flight crew."Hello, Miss. Is this plane headed for Whistler Blackcomb in Canada?" I asked the passing flight attendant with curiosity."Yes, Miss Reeves. What would you like to drink? We have champagne, red wine, sparkling water, and if you prefer, cola or...""Thank you, sparkling water will do," I replied to the flight attendant. "The plane is taking off in twenty minutes, correct? Are there any other passengers on board yet?""Other passengers are on a different private plane. Their plane took off five minutes ago."This time, the answer came not from the flight attendant but from Harrison, who was climbing
Kayla’s POVPerhaps because we were in a scenic area, everyone's mood had noticeably improved.After returning to the hotel, some of the younger staff, taking advantage of Harrison's absence, went out onto the snowy terrain and started a lively snowball fight.As I watched the snowballs flying back and forth, I was reminded of the joyful times I had spent with my parents in the snow during my childhood. Unable to resist the temptation, I stepped out of the hotel to join in their game.Squatting down, I scooped up a fist-sized snowball and threw it toward the group.With a soft thud, the snowball hit a tall figure.I was about to cheer, but I noticed that the group that had just been filled with laughter and merriment had suddenly fallen silent in an instant.Puzzled, I turned to a female colleague nearby and shrugged, asking, "Why did everyone stop?""Well, I'm not sure, but I think it's time to head back to the hotel. See you, Kayla!"In the darkness, I couldn't see my colleague's ex
