Two very 'not sane’ bestfriends, more like a pain in her ass but she can live with that. A good paying job with a boss she gets along with. Most of all, Lana has her ego. Everything comes crashing down the day he shows up. Aaron Carlsen. (Okay, maybe not everything but still) Eugene decides to retire thus making Aaron the new CEO of the company. Aaron who is Lana’s enemy. Lana finds herself in a dangerous loop when all she can think about is Aaron and his stupidly gorgeous face. Lana is not only fucked, she’s extremely fucked. Aaron wants Lana by all means even if it means doing the unthinkable.

Chapter 1

“Please be professional, sir. I’m only here to help with the work assigned to me as your personal assistant and that’s it. I’ll appreciate it more if you were to conduct yourself in a professional manner.” He seemed taken aback by my words, eyebrows raised, lips pursed in a light frown.He huffed lightly. “I only asked if you have someone waiting for you at home, considering the fact that we are going on a business trip out of the country for three days and might need to come back abruptly or perhaps extend our stay. I’m not asking for your hand in marriage, Ms. Monroe. I promise, if I were going to make advances at a lady, it definitely won’t be you.” His voice came out short and snappy, eyes boring into mine as though daring me to speak further. I bit back my tongue from saying something sharp back at him. Inhaling deeply and exhaled.“May I be excused.” “You’re excused.” I wasted no time in leaving his office. Aaron fucking Carlsen, barreling into the company like he owns it. Well

Interesting books of the same period

Chapter 2

Lana~A groan escaped my lips as I sat up, throwing the duvet off my body. The loud ringing of the phone irritating me the more. I reached for the phone.“This better be very important-“ I snapped, not checking the caller ID“Allison Lana Monroe, you better have a good reason as to why you have been ignoring my calls.” The familiar voice of my mother made my heart stop for a minute.I immediately sat up straighter, sleep clearing from my eyes. How the fuck didn’t I check the caller ID? "Your father and I have been trying to get in touch with you and you? What do you do? Ignore our calls? Is this what you’ve been taught to do by those Barbaric friends of yours?” Her voice edging towards annoyance by the second.I shut my eyes close, swallowing the urge to defend my friends.“I’ve been busy.” I say curtly. Mom sighed over the phone, the sound of her heels clicking away could be heard. I couldn’t help but wonder where she is this time. Berlin? Scotland? Russia? Dubai? Where?“You’re ju

Chapter 3

Lana~“Ms. Monroe, we are here, please wake up.” I heard a familiar voice say from far away. “Of course she’d fall asleep fifteen minutes to the hotel.” The voice sounded tired, exasperated yet fond and at that moment, did it hit me. My eyes shot up open, only to see Aaron’s face inches away from mine, peering down at me. My head on his shoulder. It was an awkward position andWait, is that drool? His gaze followed my eyes to his shirt where I had drooled. I drooled. Please can the floor open in half and let me in with dignity. I lifted my head to move away only to bump my head against his jaw. Fuck my life.“Fuck, I’m so sorry, I’m so freaking sorry.” I rushed out. How does one fuck up repeatedly like this? He hissed in pain, holding his jaw while I fretted over him. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hit you. It’s just your face was too close to mine and I saw that you had drool on your shoulder. I didn’t mean go drool, I promise I don’t drool but today I don’t know what happened. I

Chapter 4

Lana~It’s been four hours.Fours hours and I’ve not been able to sleep or even rest. My mind has decided to overthink things today which is not good.Ellie always says to leave my head for a bit and see what’s going on but how can I when all I can think about is this weird bubbly feeling in my guts. Why does everything have to be so hard? Why can’t it just be chilled and not stressful?I groaned, dragging my hand over my face, falling to the bed. I should probably speak to someone about this but who? Sasha and Ellie were totally out of it. Knowing them, they’d laugh at me first before telling me to give it time.I can’t keep behaving like a doofus whenever Aaron is near me. It’s ruining my image over and over again, making me seem like some twelve years old dealing with hormonal imbalance.My alarm dinged, letting me know I had less than forty minutes to get dressed for the party. Remind me again why I convinced Aaron to let us attend this party hours after we arrived in Greece? We r

Chapter 5

Lana~I stood by the mirror, staring at my reflection. A sigh escaped my lips just as the memory of the night came flashing through my head and making me regret every single decision I took. I remember clinging unto his arm like my life depended on it as he deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding into the corners of my mouth, Almost making me loose my mind. It was too much but I couldn’t let go. I mindlessly touch my waist, remembering just how his large hand grabbed my waist, pulling me even more closer to him. My phone dinged, letting me know it was time. Time to leave for the meeting and maybe not talk about what happened again. Not talk about the kiss or whatever this is between us.I inhaled deeply and exhaled, allowing myself a second to Collect myself. I bend down, picking the files on the table and my bag too, walking out of the room as soon as I was done.I turn to shut the door close and just then did Aaron step out of his room. Need I remind you that we are neighbors again?

Chapter 6

Aaron~I watch as Lana brushed the tear threatening to leave her eyes away as she looked outside the car. I felt a knot tighten in my throat on remembering just how she was looking when I barged into the room.I should’ve been there sooner. I should’ve tried to make sure that bastard couldn’t do this to her. She was gone for a while and I was beginning to worry, thinking she had probably lost the way back to the meeting hall only to pass by the room and hear her screaming. My heart legit stopped beating for a minute as I barged into the room to see her halt in her steps, eyes wide with fear and worry. Her hair had been tousled and rough, shirt disheveled slightly.“We’ve arrived sir.” The driver says, jolting me out of my thoughts. I glanced beside me to see Lana already getting ready to leave.I paid the driver and got down from the car while Lana got down from the other side. She didn’t seem to want to talk to me and well, I understand why.We walked into the lobby and I called out

Chapter 7

Lana~Eyes fluttered, I groaned slightly as I shifted, the sun already up and disturbing my sleep. I snuggled even more against the bed, feeling the softness against my body. I couldn’t help whining slightly as the sun shone brightly against my face, disrupting my sleep. It was gone just like it came, now there was a soothing yet relieving shade covering my eye. Wait, shade? Soothing shade?My eyes shot open only to Aaron peering down at me, creased lines against forehead, tongue poking at his right cheek. Hair tousled roughly but not too rough. His eyes widen as soon as our eyes met, his face was inches away from mine. He is the shade covering the sun from me. I felt my heart flutter at the thought but shoved it to the back. Watching Aaron’s eyes drop to my lips, he swallowed visibly. Jumping back slightly, he almost tumbled off the bed. “Fuck, are you okay?” I ask, sitting up immediately, jumping to grab his wrist only to fall on his chest, his hand wrapped around my waist to s

Chapter 8

Lana~A groan escaped my lips as my eyes flutter open, taking a look around where we are. “Oh, you’re awake. I was just about to come wake you up, we’ve arrived in NewYork.” Aaron spoke from behind. I sat up, sleep clearing from my eyes almost immediately. “Let’s go. I got your things packed up.” He says again, stretching his hand forward to help me stand up. I look at his hand for some seconds and slid my hand in his. Aaron smiled widely as we got down from the plane. I spent the last seven hours sleeping and now feel weak to my bones.Minutes later I found myself outside the airport with Aaron. “Come on, the car is here.” He tells me, tucking his phone into his pockets as he nudged me to move. Instead I shook my head, looking into my phone. The driver is just a minute away.“You don’t have to worry sir, Sasha and Ellie are picking me up.” I lied confidently. Sasha and Ellie don’t even know I’m back in NewYork talk less of coming to pick me at the airport.“What?” Aaron blanched. I

Chapter 9

Lana~"What?”Sasha and Ellie stare at me shocked. Why? Because I told them I have a date with Nathan.“Lana, what are you doing?” Ellie asked, placing her hand over mine, eyes filled with care and worry. I glanced at Sasha who had the same look in her eyes.“Lana, are you sure? Nathan?” Sasha asked.“Yeah, stop behaving like I gave you an invitation to my funeral. It’s just a date to see if something can develop between the both of us.” I replied confidently but the look on their faces tells me they don’t believe my bullshit. “That’s preposterous, Lana. Nathan has been trying to go out with you for two years! He’s flirted and basically done everything in the books to make sure you date him but you’ve always turned him down, you’ve behaved like you don’t see him and now it’s convenient for you to just opt for him like he’s a second option?” Sasha snapped.I raised my eyes at her, surprised at her outburst. “Sasha!” Ellie calls out her name.“Face it, Ellie. Lana is being an ass to Na

Chapter 10

Lana~I woke up the next day, feeling cramped up and tired like I ran a marathon yesterday even if I did none of that. I groaned, getting off the bed, my joints still feeling cramped.I walked to the bathroom, splashing water on my face, I grabbed the face towel by the door and wiped my wet face, staring at my reflection in the mirror.My brown eyes seemed so dull, eyes puffy and face swollen. Oh, I had doughnuts last night. That’s why I feel like a bloated goat. I stood up straight, putting the towel back on the door and grabbed a robe, wrapping it around my naked frame. I glanced at the time to see it’s 11-30 am. Thankfully today’s a Saturday which makes it okay to sleep in.I stepped out of the room, glancing at the room next to mine. Sasha cried herself to sleep last night even after we spoke. I could hear her sobs as I struggled to sleep but couldn’t. I contemplated going to comfort her but gave it up. She probably needs to cry alone for some time.I let my feet carry me to th
