“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

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

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?

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

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
