Chapter: It's Not A DateChapter 7: It's not a dateIvy“Let your hair down,” Ivy repeated in her head.“What is wrong with the way I packed it? Is there some kind of dress code that I'm not aware of? She thought.This was not the first day at work she envisioned. She sighed as she thought back to how shocked she was to find out she was going to be working as an assistant to the company's ceo.As if that wasn't enough, now she has to have lunch with him in twenty minutes. “How am I supposed to act around him?”Ivy knew there was a lot of tension between them, and she felt it hard whenever he was in his presence. The way he stared at her intensely when she went to his office earlier was not helping matters.It's been 10 minutes already, and Ivy wasn't in any way ready for lunch. She tried to take in deep breath to calm her nerves, but all was to no avail. Her phone beeped. It was a message from Charlotte asking how her day was going.As if coming to a sudden realization, Ivy smiled.“Of course, Charlotte woul

It was Ivy.Here he was thinking of what excuse he could make up to see her, and she just appeared. It was like she could read his mind.He snapped out of his thought as he heard another knock. “Come in,” he said as he put on his glasses and pretended to be busy with some paperwork on his desk.Ivy entered his office with her hands full of some files. She gently placed them on his desk.“These are contracts urgently in need of your signature, sir,” she said as she moved away from the desk.Liam glanced at the files and looked away. Still pretending to be busy, Ivy wondered if he had heard what she had just said.“Sir, the—” Ivy started, but was interrupted.“You can leave. I'll sign and send it to you when I'm done.” Liam said without sparing her a glance.“Okay, sir,” Ivy said, heading to the door, but was stopped by his voice. “Is there anyth

Chapter: Jealous LiamChapter 5: Jealous Liam LIAM’S POV :Liam sat in his office with a pile of paperwork scattered across his desk in a mess. He groaned in frustration and flung his pen across the room. He just couldn't concentrate, not when her pale face kept flashing in his head. Ivy Smith, that name and face have been haunting his dreams ever since that night. No matter the number of women he slept with, none could erase the thought and memories of her.He had gone back to the bar the next day, hoping to see her again, but it was as if she never existed.

Chapter: Hart Corporation Chapter 4: Hart Corporation UNKNOWN NUMBER: "We have completed the review of your resume and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to work with you.Resume by 8 AM on Wednesday.Welcome to Hart Corporation! A little bit of doubtfulness, calmness, and something she couldn't quite place. Was this real? After all these years?Ivy stared at the message, almost hoping that if she blinked hard enough, it would just go away. She kept reading it repeatedly to confirm it wasn’t all in her head. She attempted to calm the shaking that ran through her.She released a shaky breath as she put her phone on the couch. Her phone let out a second buzz. An email this time, with her name boldly written at the top. It consisted of some instructions, formal confirmation, company letterhead, and a contract attachment. “I'm not imagining things, oh my world! It's real!”Ivy jumped and let out a loud laugh that vibrated off the whole living room.Her eyes glistened with water, but she brushed them away.“I n

Chapter: Smoke and sparksChapter 3: smoke and sparksUnknown Number: your beauty is as radiant as ever…just like I remembered.Ivy stared at the message as though it might disappear if she as much as just blinked her eyes. Her thumb was suspended over the screen, her mind raced, and her heart thumped. The light from her phone cast a silhouette across her room.She did not reply. She couldn't bring herself to.She turned off the phone and flung it on the drawers as though it scorched her. She did not attempt to move and just sat there, looking at the wall with her pulse roaring in her ears.It was just an unknown number. Maybe a prank… not anything to be worried about.Yet it felt so unmistakable and personal.The oddest part was that only one face came to her mind immediately after she read it.Liam…She picked up the phone and opened the message again. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, contemplating.Who are you? Too immature.What do you want from me?Too guarding. She erased the reply sighed frustra

Chapter: Silent Recognition**Chapter 2: Silent Recognition**The clear glass doors closed behind her with a soft hiss, and she was surrounded by the cold air in the building, which did away with the leftovers of the humid morning outside. Ivy waited for a second, so she could adjust to the peace of the space —the floors were shiny, the walls were stark white, and the air was filled with a strong scent of expensive cologne. Everything about the place emitted power, success, and wealth, making the flutter in her chest feel completely out of place.Liam HartwellIvy could hardly remember the last time her heart raced like this. Two years ago, one night that was a blur, and then, nothing.She hadn’t thought she would see him again — not like this. Especially not in this setting. Not in a corporate office, not with his name on the door, and not with important documents in front of her.The man behind the elegant desk didn’t look up right away. His brows were furrowed in concentration as he focused on his paperwork.
