All Chapters of Attracted to my billionaire boss : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Hanna I heard the cardoor slam shut before I registered how hard I had pushed it close. It startled me but I did not look back to see how Aaron reacted, it would not be more than his constant little smirk.Everything that has happened this morning rummaged through my mind. I had many questions as to how I got in this position, but I mostly felt lucky. I just got an actual job, I had purpose again, or a semblance of it at least. Right now, it almost did not even matter who my employer was, this was a good opportunity for me and I do not expect that I would be seeing much more of the intriguing but infuriating Mr. Montgomery any time soon. He was the CEO after all, he has far more pressing affairs to supervise than some interior design in the city suburbs being handled by a formerly vagrant woman who has not even expressed thanks for what would have otherwise been considered a gracious and benevolent offer.I would not.I knew I would do a good job, so I trusted that a salary would com

AaronI cannot categorically say that I know why, but I wish that Hanna would do more than shoot me looks of defiance with those gold-flecked eyes. I was doing everything I had done so far to get a rise out of her, after all. Like when I told her to switch out the rooms. Maybe I wanted to remind her who called the shots, but my reasoning felt more aligned with the former's curiosity about her emotions.What did she think of me? I had just spent a good chunk of my day yesterday skipping meetings to drive down to the suburbs for a check-in with her. Sure, it was weird for me to casually stop by to supervise the renovation of a small suburban property that I had forgotten existed, when it made sense for me to handle the more big picture stuff, in fact, I had never supervised interior design before now. Something drew me there and I consequently lied to myself that it was mistrust for Hanna. In my head, I had to go make sure that a terrible decision had not been made on my part by offer

HannaThe sandwich from lunch still sat in my gut as I made dinner. Faith was home early from work and she sat at the breakfast nook, cradling a glass of wine. I took a sip out of the glass she had offered me. It was the nice stuff. I would have charged upwards of a hundred dollars for a bottle of Chardonnay this good at Big Dreams. Thoughts of my bar lay heavy in my mind today, especially since the question I had dodged at lunch.Thoughts of Aaron crept into my mind as I took yet another sip whilst chopping onions, Faith still at the nook now munching on cheese and crackers."Do you know Aaron has showed up to the house I'm designing pretty much everyday this week?" I sparked conversation almost abruptly, like I was continuing the conversation already going on in my head, only outwardly now."That's where he's been?" Faith replied, as if she had finally solved a math equation that had been boggling her mind all day. She took another sip of wine."He is showing up abruptly, being hi

Hanna.As I drove away, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I had just made a deal with the devil, something so beautiful but yet bearing an alarming level of red flags. I longed for this but yet feared I had made a rather rash decision. Should I have delayed my answer, kept my choices in suspended animation?—would have served him right for being a cunt earlier.It was funny how our lives had rapidly collided, setting us on a path that even our individual differences would not corrode.This was a soul I would give anything to see gut-wrench in a coffin, I mean I’m not disposed to being convinning , sniveling, but for his case many exceptions can be made—must be made, but yet this past few days with him had made me queasy, my thoughts jittered, zoning to an impossible reality where the world was populated by two souls, just Aaron and sweet, innocent Hanna. Ha!Aaron’s eyes seemed to bore into my skin, even after I had left him behind. His words echoed in my mind: “I want to take y

Hanna.Faith beamed with pride, “See, I told you you’d look stunning! Now, let’s get you ready for the night.” She began styling my hair and applying makeup, transforming me into a glamorous version of myself. As we finished up, the doorbell rang. “That must be Aaron,” Faith said, winking at me. “Go get ‘em, tiger!” I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. I made my way to the door, the red dress shimmering in the light. When I opened the door, Aaron’s eyes widened in surprise, and a smile spread across his face. He was awestruck— tongue tied, possibly brain dead at the moment.His mind, surely, a vast sea of blankness, is eyes still fixed on me, he stood like he had just seen a woman for the first time in his life.“Wow, em…you look… incredible,” he said, his voice filled with genuine admiration. I blushed, feeling a flutter in my chest. “Thanks, I was feeling a bit like Cinderella,” I said, gesturing to the dress. Aaron chuckled, offering me his arm. “Well,
