SOPHIA'S P.O.V

I woke up on time for my first day at work. I decided to wear off white shirt and black pants with black heels. I did my make up minimal and left my brown hair open with just a clip at back.

"Are you ready sophia?" Natasha asked from outside.

"Yes yes coming."

I came out my room. Natasha was all ready in black pencil skirt and baby pink shirt. She really was beautiful. Carter was lucky.

"Come on let's leave." I said.

"Wait first have some breakfast. Carter made it for us before he left for his work."

"That's so sweet. I am hungry too."

Within 10 minutes we both were in Natasha's car proceeded to Michael Clothing.

"Hey I wanted to ask Mr. Michael asked for the coffee yesterday. How does he like it? Any specific?"

"He likes his coffee from the canteen itself. He likes his coffee strong, so two shots of expresso will be good and then the normal process."

"Alrighty."

"Don't worry. Mr. Michael is rude, strict and demanding but I know you are dedicated. You will work it out."

"Hopefully." I smiled.

I went to Mr. Michael's Cabin as I didn't know what to do.

But I kept my purse at my space. Natasha showed me where the past assistants used to sit.

I arranged the table with all the files on one side. I poured water in his glass. I kept business newspaper on the table as Nats told me he likes to read them first thing in the

morning. After arranging everything I decided to go to the pantry to make his coffee. He will be here in 15 minutes.

I had my way to pantry. I took a cup poured two shots of expresso. Then added water and milk. I added one cube of sugar. I thought for a moment and added a pinch of cinnamon in his coffee. My mother used to make this coffee. And it used to be my favourite. I hope he likes it.

I entered his cabin and placed the mug on a coaster. I was about to pick a newspaper to read something when a deep voice startled me.

"Early aren't we Ms. Williams ?"

I turned around, "God you scared me." I placed a hand on my chest.

"I didn't plan to." Mr. Michael said and came towards me.

He seriously looks so handsome. How someone can be so handsome?

He wore a blue coat and pant with very light blue shirt.

"Good morning Mr. Michael ." | smiled.

"Morning."

He took a look at the table all arranged. He smirked seeing it.

"I assume you asked Natasha about everything." He sat in his chair.

"Yes, I did. Here is your coffee. And here are all the business newspaper you would like to have a look."

He took a sip of his coffee. His facial expressions changed.

God Sophia why did you add cinnamon to coffee on the first day? You don't experiment on the first day, you stupid lady!

"Who made this coffee?" He spoke.

"Huh?" I mumbled.

"You very well heard the question Sophia."

"I-I made it." There I said it!

"There is something different in this."

"Yeah. I added a pinch of cinnamon powder. My mother used to make such coffee for me. I used to like it. But l'm so sorry I changed your daily coffee routine. I will go and just make another normal one for you Mr. Michael." I said and started going out of the cabin when he stopped me.

"Sophia!!" He somewhat yelled.

"Yes?" | turned around.

"I liked it. In fact I want you to make the same coffee everyday for me now." He gave me a small tiny smile.

"Really? Thanks then." I shrugged.

"Um, what would you like me to do today?" I asked in the most formal tone.

"For today, go through each file of our competitors, debtors, creditors. I know you can't mug up all that. But remember the main ones. Second, send bouquet of yellow roses to Ms. Marie Boult saying do not contact me from this moment. Otherwise consequences will be worst. Third, I am the chief guest for NYU Post graduation ceremony. Just recheck my speech for it. My PR must have already emailed it. That's it for now." He said in one breath.

Oh my goodness!

"Alright Mr. Michael."

And I left his cabin, to do the tasks he told me to do.

Get to work Sophia!

    SOPHIA'S P.O.VIt's been a month working for Mr. Michael.As he said, it wasn't a path of roses. His moods change like seconds in clock. One thing I have learnt about him is he is good when you are good with him. But honey if you come on his bad side, he is the fucking worst. I'm not joking.If you ask about me I have managed till now not to get yelling from him. I mean one time he did scream at me, but it wasn't my fault.I did a weekend trip to my home, but unfortunately I couldn't meet Sam as he had to go to France for his job.He is in marketing so he has to tour around more often.I still live with Carter and Nats. We have grown very close.I really can't thank them enough. But I have seen an apartment already. The rent looks in my budget too. So I'm planning to move out within two weeks or so. I can't be dependent on them forever.Today was Monday that means I have to see Mr. moody pants. Oh yes that's the name l have given to Caius Michael."Hey Mila!" | greeted the receptionist

He was well dressed, good looking guy but why is he here?He is definitely not my employee. Who the fuck is he? And why is she hugging him?"Sophia Williams!!!" My voice boomed.She quickly broke the hug but the smile didn't leave her face. She looked at me with confusion. I went towards them to have a nice talk."What the hell are you doing?" I asked looking dead serious in her eyes."He is my........" I didn't let her finish.I'm not blind. I know who he must be."I don't pay you to hug your boyfriend during office hours.

    SOPHIA'S P.O.VI just had my dinner. I made meat balls and some noodles today. It was pretty good for the first time. When I used to live in California Sam used to cook for us as he is really a great cook. I never had interest in cooking. Mom used to scold me that I should at least be able to make somethingin case of emergency. I always used to ignore her by saying | will learn it later.But now I miss her. I miss her scolding me. I miss her cooking. I miss everything about her. No no tears right now Sophia!I was not at all sleepy. Nor was I interested to watch any show on Netflix. So I decided to take a walk in the neighbourhood. It was around 10:30. I know it was little late but they say that New York never sleeps. So yeah!Here I was walking on the streets of New York. Shops were closing down but restaurants were wide open. I was so mesmerised by the night life of New York I didn't know in which direction I started going. Before I knew it was too late because now I was on a compl

He smirked."Or else what?""I will fire you." He shrugged."I know you can't and won't.""Sophia!!" He looked at me with warning.Now what? He is going to call me Sophia? Should I stop him?Or is it okay that he calls me Sophia?"Yes from now on I will call you Sophia. And you should not stop me. Because I like it." He smirked again.God I said that loud!!!"You are still saying it loud.""Fine. I will get to work.

I looked at her and could see sense of relief on her face."We should Caius She smiled back at me.Mr. Lewis excused himself. Hahaa!!"Thought you needed a little help there." I whispered in herear."I did. Thanks." She turned to me. We were standing too close. Our lips just centimetres away from each other. She had her hand on my shoulder and mine were on her waist.We kept looking into each other's eyes. No one wiling to break the eye contact.Just to ruin the moment, her phone went on. She excused herself and went to answer the phone.And on that cue, Mr. Lewis's secretary approached me."Hey Caius What are you doing tonight?" She asked in a seductive tone."I'm going..."On a date with me." Sophia answered it. I looked at her surprised. Shocked to be more precise.She was smiling at Tanya the secretary.Tanya's face was worth watching.

I'm impressed. "You are correct here. Let me get my purse then will leave, okay?" "Alrighty. By the way Sophia, you look absolutely gorgeous." He was so close to me. I could feel his body. And not to mention his deep husky voice did the big job. "T-thank you Caius. You don't look bad yourself." I said. I wanted to say he looked like a greek god but I think that would be too much. "Thanks." He smirked. ... CAIUS P.O.V Oh my goodness! Sophia looked so freaking stunning. She is wearing a dress which hugs her body in all the right places. She is looking so ravishing.

I shrugged."Here are your ice creams. Enjoy!!" The waitress said, we said thank you and then she left.I took a bite of my ice cream. And Jesus!! It tastes so heavenly. My goodness."This is so freaking good." I moaned.Sophia was gazing at me. With little sparkle in his eyes, and small smile on lips."What?! Taste yours." I said."What?! Huh. Y-yeah. I am."

You are my boyfriends close friends.So we will meet often Peter." I chuckled."I wonder how your girlfriend or future wife will handle you.You are so quiet." I said without much thinking but then I knew I made a mistake.All three of them got so serious. Like their faces were just blank. I could feel the tension in air. I couldn't read any of them."My wife died giving birth to our son. Our son didn't survive too." Peter broke the silence looking out of the window behind Caius, Oh my god! That's terrible, I am so sorry for bringing it up, I was not aware.One Look at Caius to just believe this is true. I mean it is such unfortunate thing for Peter.

You will not fire him, okay?""Sophia why do you have to talk good about him? He is not your boyfriend. I'm your boyfriend. I don't want any man near you knowing he wants to date you." Caius said with a pout. How cute!"Caius, can't you trust me? Though Max wants to go out with me but I don't want to. I want to date you not him. Do you get it?""Fine I won't fire him. But if he comes near you and ask you out again, he is fired." He glared."Okay. Now let me tell him that I can't come to dinner." I took out my phone."After that I will drop you to your home.""Alrighty." I gave him a peck on his cheek.I was about to dial Max's number, when Caius pulled meback. I collided with his chest. It was like he was back hugging me. He kept his face in the crook of my neck, placing soft kisses on my neck."C-Caius?" It came out as a whisper."Wh

She asked."I remember everything about the kiss." I said looking intoher eyes."You do?" She asked softly, sounding unsure."Yes I do. I didn't forget. That kiss meant a lot to me.Throughout my stay in Athens, it was just you in my mind." I wrapped my hands around her waist securely, closing the distance between us."I'm flattered Mr. Micheal." She gave me a teasing smile."So does that mean I get to kiss you again?" I put a strand of her hair behind her ear."I think so, yes." She chuckled.I wasted no time in crashing my lips on her. As if the time stopped right there, nothing else existed for me. It was just us, showing each other our care for each other through a kiss. Her lips felt so soft against mine. I could kiss her forever. This girl is making me go crazy about her.After kissing for some time we broke apart. But still

    SOPHIA P.O.VI was checking the expense file Caius told me to go through, then suddenly Max appeared infront of my table."Hey beautiful." He bent down a little bit."Hi Max. How are you today?" I smiled.A little piece of information, Max Fisher is a employee of Micheal Clothing in the Purchase Department. He is a good looking guy, well mannered. He has been asking me if I would like to go out with him since last week. He seems like a good guy, but whatever happened with Caleb, I just don't want to go there right now. Or maybe I have kinda developed feelings for my boss."So formal Sophia. Now I'm your friend right?""Right now I'm just Mr. Micheal's personal assistant. So what are you here for?" I said teasing him."Well, if that's the case, I'm here for asking you that have you thought about the date?""I did. And I have concluded that I'm sorry. But right now I really can't date you or anyone else for that matter.""Alright Alright. I really don't know about your past. But I'm as

He may have cancelled her promotion. And she truly deserved it."I'm really sorry sir." Natasha looked down.Caius glared at her, then looked at me with a look that said "What now?"Then I gave a look "Let her go.""Fine. You may go Natasha." He still looked so fearful."Thank you Mr. Micheal, thanks Sophia." She smiled at me."Don't worry. Go." I smiled back.She went out of the cabin literally running. I can imagine her fear."So where were we?" Out of nowhere Caius was behind my back.Is he alien?I turned around to face him, "I was telling you how dedicated your employees are.""Ah yes. They fear me actually. By the way, just give me the

    SOPHIA P.O.VIt was next Monday I was sipping my coffee at office. If you are wondering was Caius back? The answer is no. He isn't back yet. He told me he would come by Friday but today i.e Monday he still isn't here. And yes how much I didn't want to miss him, honestly I did miss him last week. I used to work whole day in office. I was busy entirely but still something was missing. I could feel it.Caius yelling, Caius smirk, Caius "I need Sophia coffee", Caius "Bring me this file right now, it felt so different without him in the office.And last but certainly not the least, the fact that he kissed me was going in my mind everyday every minute. I know I should forget about it but I can't. There has to be some reason why he kissed me. Be it lust, but something has to be there.Suddenly I remembered I had to take Expenses file from Caius cabin and give it to Natasha. I got up and went in his cabin.I went towards the file shelve and was searching for it. I really need to rearrange th

She asked.Oh so deep!"I always say love is the only thing which keeps us sane.Without love, there is no life.""I'm impressed Caius. Well, for me love is a part of life.There are so many other aspects in life like money, stability.I mean money is so much important.""I agree money is important, but not more than love.""What would you do with love if you don't have money? You will live on streets?"Why is she so shallow?"Yes I would. If you have a person who you love and loves you back, that is your home. You don't need four walls to find a home. Home is where your loved one is.""Here are vour meals sir and madam." The waitress served Us.Both of us had our meal in complete silence. To be honest I didn't want to talk to he

Not Natasha nor Mia nor my brother.I was currently typing a report which I needed to emailCaius before lunch."Good morning Sophia." A voice stopped me from typing.I looked up to find Theo at my desk. A smile formed on my face. Theo seemed nice guy when we met earlier."Morning Theo. How may I help you?" I got up."A perfect assistant tone I see.""I have got habitual to it." I chuckled."Good. How's everything going? Any trouble?""Not for now. I was just typing sales meeting report to email to C-Caius. Have you heard from him?" | nervously asked."Yes he called me today to just tell me to come here and see everything."Theo said, he didn't give any expression or hint that he knew about this kiss or Caius talked about it."Okay. Did he say anything about me? I-I mean any specific work for me?" I tried to ask him one more time.

    CAIUS P.O.VI kissed her! kissed Sophia! I kissed my personal assistant.Jesus christ! I really saw some different emotions in her eyes when I went to say good bye to her. I honestly thought she was little disappointed that she is not going with me.Maybe I was wrong. So I kissed her. I wasn't wrong. Though she didn't kiss me back, she didn't push me either.Frankly she was shocked. But in my gut I know she enjoyed the kiss. I can't wait to get back to her. I won't call or message her right now. I will give her some time to digest all this.I reached Athens safely. I was about to reach my parents vacation villa. They were staying there for two weeks now.Milsy and Seb were in New York because they had their school and university.I reached the villa. The villa was modern in architecture. My mother is a architect so she chooses every hotel, or house she lives in with utmost inspection and everything."Hello mom!!!" | hugged her from back as she was sitting in lawn with dad beside her.
