Zara Langford His voice dropped to a whisper, colder this time. “You will cease being a Langford…”My hands instinctively went to my chest with a feigned downcast look. “Ouch! I'm so pained” I said mockingly making sure he caught the sarcasm.This is actually getting more fun. “No, Victor… I disagree with that, she is your daughter… If you need something you ask nicely, not threatening to disown her” mum chipped in… Go mum! This is the first time she said something in my favour without caring about a shit.I stood up. Picked up my purse. I walked straight to where Dad sat.I lowered to his ear “I wanna see you try, Dad” I chuckled loud enough for Matthew to also hear. “It's not just a business trip… I'm his date” I added with a laugh.I straightened up and observed the look on their faces. Dad looked more thrown off guard. His eyes are so wide I fear they will pop out of their socket.Matthew choked on his glass of water. Mum's fingers were frozen on her spoon.He fucking didn't s

Declan Voss “No Zara… I don't need an escort. Be… my date” The office fell silent. She turned to the left, to the right, and then to the back. Her eyes returned to me. Thump! Thump! Thump! My heart wouldn't stop beating against my chest. My folded palms became sweaty. “I... sh… should be your date?” she stammered. “Yes,” I said, turning to the folder piled up on my desk. I picked up a file and pretended to read it. “For three days,” I added If there is one thing that doesn't go down well with me, it is being told no for an answer. And with the look in her eyes, I'm going to be told a No. “Are you going to say something or have you suddenly gone dumb?” I asked. My eyes searched hers. “That wasn't part of the contract I signed” she said flatly— with a look in her eyes that says ‘this is ridiculous’ She is right. This wasn't written in the contract that the HR emailed her. “I will pay you, Zara,” I said, dropping the file. Locking my eyes with hers, I said, “You can just

Zara LangfordI paused on my track. God not now!I pushed the door open, totally ignoring the loud ringing, and walked out. I knew taking that call would get me more worked up.Right now, I need to focus on delivering these files successfully and hoping He-devil won't find any fault in any of them.Working extra hours on these files could make me go insane. I was about to open the door to Declan's office. When a Figure waved at me, from the entrance of the hallway. I waved back and waited for the figure to come closer. I didn’t fail to notice the red heels clicking on the floor softly.Oh, it's a woman. She looks like she is in her thirties. The heels she was putting on, adding dangerously to her tall figureJust when I thought everyone in this company was a cold jerk like their boss. But someone was nice enough to have waved. The secretary I met earlier at the reception didn't leave a nice impression.“Good afternoon” The woman smiled broadly. “The new personal assistant, right?”A

Zara LangfordMy hands curled into a tight fist. I literally feel my face flushed.I released my fist. Take a breath. Zara, breathe.My cold stare remained on Declan. Asking me to make coffee twice didn't go well with me.Who the hell is this man? God, how I wished to punch his smug face harder. He is doing this on purpose. Sadly, I can't prove it. But there’s something about the way he kept arching his brow. “Making a coffee shouldn't be that hard…you are a Langford, and Langfords are known for making things right” he smirked evilly.Trying to use my family to get to me Mister? It's not gonna work.I exhaled. Took the mug from the desk. Wanting nothing more than to pour the remaining coffee on him and smash the mug against his face. “I'll try making it right this time, sir” I said drawing the ‘sir’. My grip on the mug tightened.No wonder, no assistant lasted a month in this company. He keeps changing them like clothes.Declan, two can play this game of frustration. Just you wait

Zara LangfordMy eyes couldn’t stop staring after him until he completely disappeared around the corner. Holy mother of God!Holy shoots! What just happened right now! My face was so red that I could feel my cheeks burning. My palm suddenly became sweaty. The skin where his hand touched still felt fresh. His touch still lingered there.I still can't wrap my head around it. His arm circled my waist....and somehow, my hand ended up looping around his neck?? Just how! Jeez! So embarrassing.Many people would have killed to be in such a position with him. Definitely not me. Why did I even settle for heels when I was already late? So freaking annoying.And it's my first day. Gosh! Why today of all days? How do I stand his ugly face now?I picked up the last document and walked out of the elevator. Heading in the direction of Declan's office with my heart thudding loudly against my chest.Take a breath, Zara. It's not like you two did something sinful...right? I stopped in front of Dec

Zara LangfordMonday arrived faster than usual, or maybe it was just me. Either way, I wasn't looking forward to walking back into Voss Enterprises. Not even a little.Sudden flashes of Declan's cold face screaming that he knew I would back down sent a shiver down my spine.Fucking asshole.I ain't backing down. I love challenges, especially from people like Declan.My phone rang from across the room, right on the study table. I glanced at the wall clock and it read five o'clock. in the morning.I dragged myself up from the bed, groaning while moving to the study table, knowing fully well who the caller was. " There'd better be an emergency," I said inwardly, tapping on the receiver."Zara!" Mum's sharp voice cut through the phone. "What has come over you? Tell me it's not true, tell me you didn't apply at the Voss Enterprises? And why didn't you come over during the weekend?" Mum's voice boomed from the other end. Asking so many questions at once. A tired sigh audible enough fo
