Emily, age 24, feels like she's treading water, unable to find work and uncertain about her future. She's on the verge of giving up, plagued by worry and a string of dead-end jobs when fate steps in and introduces her to Nathan, a gorgeous young billionaire and a single parent. Nathan requires a personal tutor and nanny for his 5-year-old, intelligent, and beautiful daughter, Lilliana, who is having difficulty adjusting to life following her mother's death. When he gives Emily the job, it feels like a lifeline. As Emily encourages Lilliana with her studies and emotional issues, she discovers a passion for teaching that restores her sense of purpose. Meanwhile, Nathan, who has been entirely focused on his work and daughter, begins to lower his guard. He admires Emily's generosity and drive for the sake of his daughter, but he's also afraid of exposing his heart again. Is their encounter fate or a curse?
View MoreI barely processed everything and the news that I have a job now before I was ushered into another room. It was as grand as it is, and it makes me feel intimidating ---- a sleek, modern office, luxury decorated but with a touch of minimalism, with a view over half the city. And right there, standing in front of the floor o ceiling glass window with his back at me was Nathan Sterling.“Emily…” he said. His voice carried authority and he didn’t even turn around yet but I felt myself stiffen as if the weight of his presence was pulling me in place.“Yes…Mr.Sterling” I replied, although my voice was slightly shaky.He turned and gazed in my direction with an intensity I hadn’t expected. He looked just like he did in the few pictures I’ve seen. A well-sculpted face, with sharp brown eyes that seemed to see too much, and a calm confidence that felt almost chilling“First of all Ms. Jones, I would like to thank you for taking this position. My daughter, Lilliana is… a unique child” he starte
The next day, I got a call.“Hello Ms. Emily, we would like to offer you the position,” women from the interview panel said. “ Lilliana has taken a liking to you and that is the most important factor for us, for you to be accepted for the position. Congratulations Ms. Emily”“Y-yes, thank you”I hug up the phone with tears in my eyes. For the first time in what feels like forever. I was n--not rejected … or overlooked this time. This time I can finally restart everything in my life. This time I am wanted and needed.I don’t know what might happen in the future, but I know for sure it's going to be challenging. But for the first time in a long time, I felt like I had something to look forward to. I can’t help but smile at my thoughts. Maybe this is the start of something better than I’ve ever imagined.-----I sat across from Ms. Harper, the person who is in charge of Lilliana’s education and overall well-being. She is a sharp, middle-aged woman, dresses in a sleek black suit, and radi
I sat in the lobby of Veridian Corporation, my hands gripping the edges of my resume a little too tightly because of nervousness. I tried to focus on the bright, modern decor of the room, but my mind kept wandering back to my previous job ---- like how everything had fallen apart there, and how it might ruin my chances today and in the future.As I was sitting there the door opened. And a middle-aged women with blond hair stepped out, smiling as she walked over towards me.“Emily? Hi, I’m Rachel, the hiring manager. Thank you for coming in immediately.” I stood up, shaking her hand and trying to keep my nerves in check.“Thanks for having me,” I said as I followed her into a small interview room with a large window and overlooking view of the city. The view of the city was very nice, but it didn’t calm my nerves as we sat down.We sat down and Rachel glanced at my resume.“So Emily, I see you’ve got some experience managing projects in the tech industry. So what made you interested in
