I bring my focus back to the table and Alexander is looking at me expectantly. I lift my brow at him confused by his choices this evening. Obviously sensing my curiosity he starts up a conversation in the worst way possible.
“Con, this better just be a booty call situation. Olivia as a date, really? She’s hot don’t get me wrong, I mean I totally would but date to a business event hot? No.” Alexander arches a brow back at me with the most smug smirk on his face. Best friend or not I just want to punch that look straight off his face. I don’t even know if I still class him as a friend at this point. I just don’t understand why he has changed so much.
“Don’t really think you are in a position to talk about who is bringing whom as a date Al. Daisy? Really?

Olivia POV I feel my strength leave me once we are in the safety of the car. My tears run freely as I feel my body shudder with sobs. I am so weak. In this moment I feel broken. Daisy broke me. She is vile. I try not to use the word but I hate her. She purposefully targeted me this evening and it was for no other reason than spite. Connor seems to think it is jealousy but I don’t understand why. What does she have to be jealous about. I am just an employee, a personal assistant. I’m not part of the elite and after today I don’t want to be. I feel something loosen around my body and I realise it is my seatbelt. Confusion fills me when Connor lifts me onto his lap. I should be uncomfortable. I should resist. He is my boss. That and the fact I have been ugly crying for the past half an hour I know my face is a mess and he is well. H

Secret Glances Chapter 13 - Olivia POV
Olivia POV Wow, okay so last night did not go down as I thought it would. Don’t get me wrong Connor has been an absolute gent and I know our relationship will now be more than personal assistant and boss but as I lay here with my head on his chest listening to his soft snores I can’t bring myself to regret anything. Right now I feel safer than I have felt since I was a child. I smile to myself when I think about how much lighter I feel. I have never opened up about my story to anyone but Ally and after revealing it to Connor I feel relieved. I think about what I am going to do today when I feel Connor stirring. “Good morning angel.” Okay my heart is souring. “Good morning yourself.” I gi
Secret Glances Chapter 14 - Neil POV
Neil POVI enjoy my job. Mr. Williams is an easy charge. He is sensible, he is careful and he is predictable. In the beginning I was available every day but given that Mr. Williams rarely left the apartment on a Sunday he gave me that day off.It gave me a chance to meet with old forces friends from my days in the Marines. Reminiscing about old missions we were allowed to discuss, exchanging life stories of what we are up to now, dreaming of what eventual retirement might look like. Most of us took up roles in some form of security.We were discussing a particularly hairraising mission when I got the phone call.“Got to go lads. Mr. Williams' personal assistant has gone home to well… a wreck. Tota

Connor POV Knowing Neil will need Roxie, I move her over to our car and Ally gives us a lift to the hospital. Olivia was quiet during the drive there as Ally and I chatted about this and that. After promising to text them my address so they could see Olivia at my place we exited the car and made our way inside. “What floor?” I ask Olivia “Floor 10.” She sniffs. I press the floor button and pull her into my arms as the doors close. “Hush it will be okay. Neil is the best at what he does, we will keep you safe and find out who did this.” She nods against my chest as I try to soothe her. “Olivia, I know it’s hard but you need to calm down before we get to your mum’s room or she is going to know something

Olivia POVI still can’t comprehend what is happening. A part of me wants to know what was inside but I am also glad I didn’t. I’m not sure I would have been able to handle it. The visit with mum was refreshing but now we are in the car on our way to Connor’s and the tears are flowing again. I can’t believe I am on the run again. This can’t be happening. This weekend has just been too much but I can’t escape it. I make a decision. Once I am out of this car, no more tears. No more wallowing. I am strong. I am a confident woman. I will not revert back to the scared girl I was back then. We arrive in the car park and I breathe deeply, wipe my eyes and get out of the car when Connor opens the door.Instead of heading upstairs straight away, we go to what looks like a security office. Neil explain

Connor’s POV She is going to vomit. As soon as she saw the picture of the camera, I knew. She almost looked green. The disgusting pervert put a fucking camera in her bathroom. I am beyond raging at this point. Whoever has done this will pay and I will ensure it happens. I follow Olivia as she runs to the toilet and empties our lunch into the toilet. I hold her hair and rub her back trying to give her a bit of comfort. Why didn’t Neil tell me? Now I feel a little of what Olivia is feeling. I know she must be angry that I didn’t give her time to menatlly prepare for what she might see but I was under strict orders from Neil not to interfere in the investigation. I explain why I couldn’t tell her and that I didn’t know about the camera and she seems to understand. She still looks pissed off and I can’t blame her. I am pissed off. She should be able to feel safe in her own home, she thought she
Secret Glances Chapter 18 - Olivia POV
Olivia POV “Stay with me please.” I whisper. I need the comfort that Connor gives me tonight. Even if it is just his presence. I can still feel his lips on mine and my core is still burning with need. “Are you sure?” He asks. His forehead is against mine and his eyes are closed. He looks conflicted but serene. Instead of answering I gently place my lips against his. Only holding them there briefly before pulling back. He nods and leaves the room explaining he is making sure the place is secure. I search for my charger and realise I haven’t got my work bag in my suitcase. “Fuck!” I shout as I search into the depths. I hear feet pounding the stairs and Roxie and Connor both enter in a state of panic. Roxie is searching for the threat and when she realises it is jus

Olivia POV I don’t think I will ever find a man quite like Connor again in my life. The man is incredible. Sexy, funny, kind and caring while still being ambitious and amazing in bed. I love him so much. I say hello to Hank as I cross the lobby and enter the elevator. I just need to get some files out for Mr Arch before Monday. He sent me an email saying it was imperative that he had those files on his desk by then so here I am. The man needs to get his own assistant, sometimes I think he forgets I am Connor’s personal assistant not his. I cross the lobby and check my desk for the files before remembering I had put the away in Connor’s office. Silently cursing my own organisation, I enter the room and move towards the cabinet when a blinding pain stalls me and I fall t
Secret Glances Chapter 26 - Connor POV
Connor POV I am sat by Olivia’s hospital bed. Ally is in the bed next to her. I managed to convince the staff here to place them in the same room to stop the inevitable argument later when they wake up and want to check on each other. Ally was beaten quite badly but after some scans they have determined that they have no internal damage. Olivia has dark bruises around her neck, a broken nose and two black eyes. Seeing her like this breaks me. I wasn’t there. I didn’t protect her. Neil is in surgery, he stepped in where I couldn’t and I will forever be grateful to that man. My parents enter the room and I break down. They rush to my side as sobs wrack my chest. I heave trying to catch my breath as I say.

Connor POV I really wanted to spend the day with my girl, especially after this morning. She really is the strongest person I know. The way she has handled everything has been insane. I know I wouldn’t have been able to do what she has. Yes, she struggled the day we got the news but who can really blame her for that. She is in therapy now and I really think it is helping her. Baby steps. This morning was the most intense sex I have ever had. She truly is a goddess and I plan on spending the rest of my life with her, I just haven’t found the right moment to tell her, I will ask her to move in first. Alexander seems to have dropped his complaint against her once all the statements and evidence was presented from the HR investigation. Daisy, however i

Olivia POVIt has been weeks and the police are still no closer to finding out who murdered my mum because that’s what it was. Murder. It has been confirmed. She was asphyxiated. My darling mum was smothered. She must have been so scared. I have been really struggling with the guilt of not being there for her in her final moments. Connor’s mum, Claire has been my rock. That petite blonde bombshell is a godsend. She is motherly, but in a way where she isn’t trying to replace my mum. More like an older best friend. Ally has been here when they haven’t been working and I truly appreciate it. Connor, Ally, Claire and Andrew (it’s still weird calling my big boss by his first name but he insists) have convinced me to go to therapy and in all honesty, I am glad I went to my first session this week. My therapist, Louise, is letting me take the reigns. She i
