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
Kayla's POVI returned to my room, shedding the wet clothes that had been soaked by the snow.Afterward, I stepped into the bathroom and took a quick shower.The room was heated quite well, so I wrapped myself in a bathrobe and ventured out barefoot, making my way to the private hot spring Harrison had mentioned.To my surprise, the so-called "private hot spring" room turned out to be a luxurious suite with a spacious living area and bathroom, with the hot spring taking up just about one-third of the room's space.It looked more like an upscale suite reserved for VIP guests in this hotel.Harrison had mentioned that he had booked the entire hotel, so I guessed that this room might be reserved for the staff to enjoy the hot spring.With that thought in mind, I entered the room, turning the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging on the exterior wall to avoid any potential embarrassment.I walked straight to the hot spring, testing the water temperature with my toe. The hot, steamy water instantl
Kayla’s POVWhen I opened my eyes again, the room plunged into darkness.The only source of light came from the white snow outside, casting a faint glow through the colored glass into the black room."What time is it?" I asked, dazed, as I sat up on the bed, searching for my phone."Here it is." Harrison unlocked my phone, glanced at the screen, and handed it to me."It's already 3:22.""So late," I rubbed my temples, still not fully recovered from exhaustion."Go back to sleep. I'll wake you up tomorrow." Harrison's voice sounded gentle and warm.I turned to look at him. Sleep had shut down my brain for a few seconds, and then I remembered what had happened between Harrison and me last night.I instinctively pulled the blanket up to cover myself."I don't want to see you suffocating under the blanket," a large hand pulled the blanket under my neck. "It's not our first time. There's nothing to be shy about."At that moment, Harrison wasn't lying in bed. He was sitting on it, leaning a
Kayla's POVEven though Harrison had mentioned that the entire top floor of the hotel was reserved for just the two of us, I didn't want to take any chances.Before the crack of dawn, I quietly slipped out from under the covers, ensuring not to disturb the sleeping Harrison.I tidied up the clothes and my phone on the floor and silently returned to my own room.At 9:00 in the morning, after having had breakfast, the staff once again gathered their props and equipment and boarded the vehicles to head to the ski resort.Since the theme of today's shoot was skiing, with the help of the staff, Harrison donned his skiing clothes and grabbed a snowboard to start the day's shoot."Yes, yes! That's it, Mr. Morris! Just like that! This shot is incredible!"Photographer Devon declined the suggestion of using a track for the camera.He held a DSLR camera and circled Harrison to find the best angles, rapidly snapping pictures.Watching the old man trudging through the snow, excited yet struggling
Kayla’s POVI hung up the phone, didn't even have time to change my shoes, and hastily pushed open the door of the small cabin, gasping for breath as I shouted out to Harrison outside."Help me, Harrison, Daisy...!"Being a novice, I didn't realize that ski boots wouldn't work in such deep snow. So, before I could finish my sentence, suddenly, I lost my balance and fell headlong into the snow."Kayla!"Harrison shouted my name loudly and ran to my side as fast as he could. He helped me up from the snowy ground, looking disheveled."What happened?"Harrison looked at me with concern."Daisy had a sudden heart palpitation! Dr. Ferrera said she needs surgery right away, and the surgery is scheduled for tomorrow! Daisy must be terrified right now... I have to get back to her and be with her... Please, Harrison, help me get back!""I understand. Don't worry. Kayla, you will be able to be with Daisy."Harrison's firm tone helped me regain some composure.I nodded and gratefully watched as H
Kayla’s POVThe black Land Rover had just come to a stop in front of the hospital.The next moment, unable to wait any longer, I swiftly opened the car door and rushed into the hospital in the pouring rain, ignoring Harrison's calls.Charlin Children's Cross Hospital had a pristine white-themed lobby that remained clean and elegant, resembling an art gallery.Graceful and dignified nurses moved quietly through the hospital.Although dressed in nurse's uniforms, they appeared more like noble girls from well-established families due to their prolonged exposure to this environment.In their presence, I, soaked from the rain with disheveled hair, looked as disheveled as a homeless person."Hey! Miss! I need to see your appointment proof; otherwise, I can't just let you in like this!"A nurse in white attire tried to stop me. Before I could explain, she had already lowered her head and timidly stepped aside.It turned out that Harrison was striding toward me, taking large steps."She's wit
