Melanie Campbell was someone who loved keeping to herself and while sending numerous applications to several places, she made a small living working as a waitress in a tiny restaurant to earn as much as she could to provide for herself and her ailing grandmother. With the recommendation of her close friend, she applied for and gets called into an interview where she met him… Calvin Sinclair was the heir to his parents' group of companies after the unfortunate demise of his older brother and he worked exceedingly hard to be just as perfect at his job as his brother would have been, even agreeing to an engagement to a famous model and family friend, Linda Thorne. He comes across Melanie who is hired as his personal assistant and who has an unmistakable resemblance to his fiancée, Linda and he is intrigued. Will the two end up falling hopelessly in live with each other despite their difference in backgrounds and what is expected of them? Or will they settle for what they are told to have and be with the people who would benefit them the most?

Chapter 1

Luminous rays of sunlight streamed into the room though the unusually open window beside the bright peach vanity table announcing the arrival of a brand new summer day.Melanie Campbell blinked and turned in the fine solid oaken twin bed and shielded my date from the sunlight with a mauve pillow that matched the silk bedding.Her stomach growled noisily as she sat up drowsy, yawning and stretching. She swung her legs off the bed and began a zombie like trudge to the en-suite bathroom. She relaxed onto the toilet seat and relieved herself of the unnecessary fluids while running her eyes vigorously.She was washing her hands when she heard her cellphone ring. She turned off the faucet and rushed into the room to answer it and pushing the green button, she said, “Hello?”.“Morning, baby”, Her best friend, Erin Manchester yelled in a sing-song voice. “Are you ready to head out?”.“Do you have to shout into my ear? And what are you talking about? It’s still too early to go anywhere”....

Chapter 2
“There you are!”, Erin exclaimed, waving frantically. Melanie rolled her eyes with a smile as she drove her battered car over to the curb where she stood.“I still have some minutes till it’s nine so I’m early”, Melanie told her friend as she got in and slammed the door.“Not exactly. It’s a right ten minute drive to our destination so we should hurry, we don’t want you to be late”, Erin said. She had bee the one to convince her best friend to apply for a job there because she had a friend who currently worked there who could at least lend Melanie a helping hand when she needed one and even give her a better opinion on her colleagues and superiors.“I can’t believe I woke up so late. It’s so unlike me”.“You were probably too excited to go to bed last night. You look nice though”, Erin told her, giving her a once-over.Her lips lifted into a small smile. “You look great too”, She told her, admiring her short raven hair and lavender dress.“Thanks. It’s too bad I can’t go in wit

Chapter 3
Calvin frowned deeply, perplexed, rubbing his chin lightly as he stood in the elevator that took him up to the floor where he worked. Getting in, he pulled out his phone as he plopped down onto the upholstered sofa in the room and dialed a number.“This is quite surprising. You never call unless it’s something really important”, Came the silky smooth voice from the other end.“Where are you? I thought you were spending a couple of weeks in Milan for a magazine shoot”.“That’s where I currently still am. Aww, are you seriously worrying about me right now? Or are you just asking to be sure that I’m not cheating on you with someone else”.Calvin scoffed. “We both know I couldn’t care any less about who you roll in the sheets and have hot, steamy nights with, Linda. Just as long as you do the responsible thing, keep it out of the press, don’t make headlines with your escapades and embarrass both our families”.Calvin had know Linda Thorne ever since he was old enough to realize how

Chapter 4
“Miss Campbell?”, Asked the young lanky man who stood at the edge of the hallway, close to the elevator, where the chairs were arranged.Melanie nervously nodded and her motioned for her to take a seat. She glanced at the other men and women that sat there waiting and she could feel her anxiety worsening. They all looked so prepared and we’ll dressed with their ramrod straight backs and polite smiles. She took a seat beside the last person and whispered to her, “Hi. Good morning”.The girl turned towards her with a finely arched eyebrow raised as she gave her a cool, superior look. “You’re not Linda Thorne”, She stated with a deliberately sardonic expression.“No, I’m not. My name is Melanie…”, She paused when she saw the lady turn away from like there was nothing more to see. She shut up immediately and glanced nervously at the others that minded their own business as they were each called into a room to get interviewed.Almost an hour later, the mean girl before her came out of th

Chapter 5
CHAPTER 5Melanie felt incredibly depressed when she walked into the restaurant she had worked in for almost a year which was filled with the tantalizing and mouth watering aroma of food and baked goods. She walked into the locker room after forcing herself to appear cheery as she exchanged light polite greetings with the kind, pudgy cook and swiping the small bottle of orange juice that sat beside her.Just as she was done putting on the restaurant’s uniform that was mandatory for all their servers, she heard footsteps coming into the room behind her and once she heard the noisy smacking of chewing gum, she could already identify who had walked in behind her. “Look at you coming in to work at whatever time suits you”, Tara Mills, the mean only other waitress in the restaurant said.“Good morning to you too, Tara. I told Paul a few days ago that I would be coming in a little late today because I had something important to attend to and he didn’t seem to have a problem with it. I tho

Chapter 6
Melanie jolted out of her musings when she heard someone call out to her.“Hmm? Yeah, what is it?” , She asked, clearing her throat and pausing slightly when she caught sight of the person speaking to her. “I’m sorry I startled you”, The guy said with a wide smile. She gawked at the young man that stood beside her in a grey turtleneck sweater and faded blue jeans. He was really handsome with his tanned skin, bright hazel eyes, golden hair that seemed to shine in the sunlight, toned athletic build and cute boyish grin that could make any girl swoon.“You really do know how to compliment someone, don’t you?”, He commented, flashing her a beautiful smile that exposed a set of pearly white teeth.Melanie looked at him in surprise, “What? What are you talking about?”.“You’ve been staring at me for quite some time now. It must be because of my good looks, right?”.Melanie rolled her eyes at him and gave him an unimpressed look.He laughed, taking a seat in one of the chairs behind

“…She have such a weird smile, it seemed like she had it in the bag already. Maybe she knows one of the interviewers? What if she said something to them about me? We barely spoke but she didn’t seem to like me very much”, Melanie was saying, taking a large bite of the croissant she had gotten from the bakery a few blocks way from her apartment.“That would be quite stupid of her if she did that. And unprofessional too. I don’t think anyone would look kindly on anyone that tried to sabotage others”, Erin said ,tucking a strand of her hair behind her neck.“That would only make sender if she really doesn’t know anyone there. Besides. I don’t think they would hire me anyway. I heard a couple of them whispering about college degrees. I don’t think I stand a chance”.“I don’t think it works that way, hun. It’ll be fine. I already contacted someone else to see if they had an open spot in the place they worked in. I’ll let you know when they get back to me. It shouldn’t be too hard to fi

Chapter 8
“Are you missing your beloved already?”, Lucas Stern asked, jabbing his friend in the ribs with the pen in his hand.Calvin Sinclair turned to glare at his closest friend. “What is wrong with you? What the hell did you do that for?”.Lucas ignored his icy glare as he joined him, placing his hands on the railing if the balcony that overlooked the brightly lit splendor of the big city.“Your sad look of pained longing was too much for me to bear and it appealed to my good heart so I thought to come out here and cheer you up”.“By stabbing me in the side with a pen?”, Calvin asked, acidly.“I wouldn’t exactly go so far as to call it stabbing though”, Lucas said and turned to him. “Why are you here anyway? You only come out when you’re worried or thing about something. Is it about Linda?”, He asked. They had become close friends when they were in elementary school since their families had close friendly relations and they moved in the same social circle. Lucas has found out about his

“So what’s this I’m hearing about a cute guy? “, Erin asked, wriggling her eyebrows as she sat cross legged on the sofa.“It’s nothing really. No one. Just some random guy I spoke to for a few minutes while I took his order. I think he said his name was Liam? I don’t know. He was really cute but I don’t think I’ll see him again”, Melanie said, feeling a little uneasy.“He might come by the restaurant again. He seemed like he was really into you”.“Whatever, really. Let’s talk about something else. I definitely wouldn’t be his type. He probably just spoke to me because he wanted to be polite. It didn’t look like he was flirting anyway”.“Sure”, Leila dragged out and turned to Erin, “What about you? Why did you have to work during your lunch break? Did anything happen? “.Melanie frowned. “Yeah, are you still having problems with your boss? “, She asked, remembering the complaints she had made a couple of days ago.“You’re having issues with your boss? From what I heard, he's quit

Chapter 10
“So, what are you going to do about this Linda lookalike? Are you going to give her the job?”, Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow.“I don’t think so. I spoke with the interviewers and according to them, she seemed to be quite intelligent and passionate but she isn’t as qualified as some of the others that applied alongside her”.“Does that matter? You’re the boss here. You can pick and hire whosoever you damn well please. Why are you pretending to be modest?”.Calvin rolled his eyes. “I’m only interested in doing what’s right for the company and it doesn’t make any sense to choose her over all the others when she’s the one with the least qualifications”.“That still changes nothing. She’s working directly for you. If she’s so terrible, then you can just easily fire her. If you really need a reason, give her the job because she looks like Linda”, He glanced at his friend’s face and scoffed. “Oh, don’t give me that dirty look. Admit that you’re curious about their uncanny resemblance.
