"I gotta run," I muttered and braced myself, but then the window rolled down, revealing the familiar, inviting face of a cute architect. "Mr. Sinclair?"

"Hi," he greeted with a wide smile. "Do you need a ride?"

My lips turned upside down when he opened the door for me, and I hopped in without hesitation. "You saved my life!" I exclaimed and hugged him.

I felt him stiffen from my sudden action but eventually chuckled it off and patted my back twice for comfort.

"I don't have my wallet with me. I couldn't go back to work, and I thought I was just going to walk back to the building and—ugh! That bastard just left me here," I grumbled as I settled myself back in the passenger seat.

"Mr. Miles?" he asked, confirming who I was referring to.

"Who else?" I scoffed. "If there's someone I would put a spell on and curse, it would be him. Johnny Miles."

"Okay," Stefano slowly uttered, hinting a small smile on his lips. "Uh... you might wanna—here, let me." He leaned closer to me, reaching for the

    "Hmm..." I hummed after a sip of caffeine in the morning, my eyes closed.Then I heard a deep chuckle.When I opened my eyes, I found Stefano looking at me in amusement as he took a bite of his breakfast."Sorry, it's just that I get too engrossed in the feeling whenever I drink coffee," I cleared up with a wince, placing the mug down and shrugging."Who doesn't?" he replied and copied the way I sipped my coffee, causing me to laugh at him. "How long have you been working for Mr. Miles, if you don't mind me asking?""It'll be two years next month," I answered, fixing my hairband. "Still new, but for the record, the only one who lasted that long.""Really?""Sir Johnny's been a CEO for three years only, and he changed his secretary more than a hundred times before I came," I explained, owning it as a compliment for myself. "His mother put me on the chair, and I fit right in. Because I have no interest in him. I'm right for the job."He arched his eyebrow. His aura was too bright that I

    "Sorry for being an asshole — your boss, John Bailey Miles, CEO of the Miles Shipping Corporation." That was what was written on the card attached to the bouquet.I would've felt bad if it wasn’t for his whole name and title being written below it. I would've felt worse if it were handwritten, but it was printed like a calling card—except it didn’t even have his number.But… he bought me roses. "White" roses.Is the jerk finally trying to graduate from being who he is? I don't think so. He must've just Googled what flowers mean or told one of his "peasants" to do all this for him."At least he apologized," I muttered nasally and slipped the card into my journal. "But he apologized in the most asshole way." I rolled my eyes and tried to focus on my dull workday.I do the same thing every day, and I've already got the gist of it. But today, aside from what Johnny left unattended, I was also blessed with more stress when he locked himself in his office. And yes, it frustrates the heck ou

    "Hey, Cassy babe. Which one do you think suits me best?" He lifted two identical ties in front of me, looking overdressed with all his buttons done.I came by his hotel room to remind him of what he had to do today, but I think everything I said just went in one ear and out the other.Without glancing at them, I pointed at the one on the right with my pen."Did you hear what I just told you?" I asked, arching an eyebrow while he chose the one on the left, making me scoff.Why did he even bother asking?"The dinner meeting with Mrs. Walker will start in a few moments. Her secretary gave me a copy of her proposal and—surprise—you didn’t bother touching it," I muttered, picking up the folder from the table. "I read the whole thing, just like you asked.""Uh-huh?" he mumbled, tone completely disinterested."Would you like me to express what I think about it?" I insisted, finally lifting my eyes to look at him—only to find him fumbling with his tie."Tell me something about Mrs. Walker," h

    "Almost forty grand, and that was called mercy," I scoffed with sarcastic delight, struggling to hold all the shopping bags in my hands. I shuffled my way toward the hotel veranda and headed straight to my suite.Johnny loves spending money—and I thank him for giving me a decent place to stay. Though honestly, I'd accept anything, as long as I don’t have to share it with him."Thank you for the blessing, Mr. Johnny Miles."I ended my night with a long, happy sigh.It’s not every day I get to buy whatever I want. I didn’t even have to touch the allowance Tamara gave me, and all my wants? Solved.After stripping off all my clothes, I hopped in the shower, then slipped into a robe. I was about to begin my nightly ritual when my phone buzzed.Of course. Johnny.That man just doesn’t know how to make a call."Why would he?" I muttered, smirking. "If he’s trying to give Mrs. Walker crutches." I snorted as I flopped down on the edge of the bed. "She won’t be a ‘walker’ by tomorrow." I let ou

    “Where were your clothes, anyway? Weren’t you cold?” I asked as we stepped into the elevator.I was bundled head‑to‑toe, but he stood beside me in nothing but board shorts and a towel slung over one shoulder.What. A. Tease.“I’m the hottest man on earth,” he purred, winking.Right—no wonder I was sweating like hell.Ever since we had left the pool, I had felt his eyes soaking me in. Suspicious? Oh, please, no.The elevator dinged. Two women stepped in. Their gazes glued themselves to Johnny, and they giggled when he flashed a smile.“There’s a party on the rooftop—everyone’s invited,” the blonde chirped, while the brunette blatantly simped over my half‑naked boss. I shrank into the corner.“Sounds fun,” he said.The doors slid open on my floor, and I slipped out like a breeze, bee‑lining for my room. I didn’t even check whether Johnny followed.The jerk had oceans of time for women; he would forget a plain Jane like me in a heartbeat.Man‑whore.I scoffed and shoved my door open—only

    I groaned as the buzzing beside the bed yanked me out of sleep.Fumbling around, I found a phone—not mine."Galactic Dic group chat?" I mumbled, blinking and rubbing my eyes. I had to squint at the screen like a grandma.This is definitely not my phone.The latest message, from someone named Captain Extortion, said: "Yo, 'Panty Collector' missed rooftop drinks last night. Who's the lucky girl, Johnny?"—followed by a flood of crying GIFs.Wait... what?I tossed the phone onto the bed just as Johnny been puked out by the bathroom, robe around his waist, towel in his hair.Our eyes met.He grinned, smug and annoyingly satisfied. He looked so proud—dripping with that post-sex confidence. I could already tell he was dying to mock me about finally sleeping with his secretary.Guess I’m getting fired."Sleeping Beauty’s up," he said.I yanked the blanket to my chin, holding it like a shield as he walked over.His scent—fancy hotel shampoo and something expensive—went from my nose then straig

    I was already in the lobby before the clock struck twelve. At noon. I'm no princess, there’s no prince on a white horse, and definitely no magic. Just me—and my awkward self. I stood next to a chair, both hands clutching my luggage and everything I bought with Johnny’s money. From where I stood, I could see my faint reflection in the glass wall. I was still wearing that bright maxi dress, but I’d thrown on some lovely printed leggings and a purple cardigan. My hair was up in a neat, low bun, and of course—my glasses. Honestly, I could say I’m a head-turner in this getup. But everyone kept crunching their noses and shooting me judgy looks. People… “Cassidy North!” Ugh. That familiar annoying voice came from behind me. I didn’t even have to turn around to know who it was. Daniel Miles. Johnny’s older cousin. If Johnny’s bad, Daniel is the worst. “Come on, girl. Give Daddy Danny a big hug!” He threw his arms open and wrapped me up in them before I could escape. “I missed you! Yo

    "Your new parcel just arrived," I announced, depositing the box on his table with a grunt. "Your lube, condoms, and heaven knows what else." The usual smugness on his face was absent today. His eyes—colder than the depths of the sea but hotter than the sun—were throwing glares at the hard copy report from the finance department. "Problem?" I asked casually, as if I didn't work for him and was just talking to an idiot friend of mine. "I didn’t get my fill last night, got a speeding ticket this morning, and then this..." He tossed the red folder onto his unorganized table and passed his glare to me, as if I were the one who caused all his headaches. "That motherfucking cocksucker thought stealing all my ideas and endorsing my products would take him a step ahead of me," he added, pointing at his chest. Lifting my eyebrows, I already knew what was making his million bubbles of ego burst. In his world of bachelor life and business, there was one daredevil who dared to oppose

    Goosebumps? Oh, yes.Blush? It wasn’t the makeup I put on but the heating up of my cheeks as my head echoed what just happened inside the elevator.I felt my tongue go numb the whole helicopter ride until we got into the restaurant.And the reason is sitting right in front of me, halfway done with his steak. Decently and slowly gnawing the meat while those eyes were glued on me.I audibly swallowed and aided my drying throat with a swig of water.What’s he doing? It’s either he’s high, or he’s trying to make me regret that I slapped his “ticket to paradise” to his face.This isn’t fair!“You never asked anyone to eat lunch with you. Not even your own mother,” I broke the thick silence between us as I gripped the utensils in my hands. “Is this you telling me that you’re dying?”A smirk formed on his lips before he sucked in his inner cheek and poured all his attention on me. “Just in the mood to do so,” he simply answered. “Why?
