"Ouch! Take it easy Mr. sexy nurse," I yelped as Ivan dressed my wound.
"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" he asked and looked at me with concern.
"I am pretty sure. This is just a scratch. I've gotten worse wounds from my sister Terry when we fought in our youth," I commented.
Ivan and I were sitting in the living room after the whole ordeal was over which occurred half an hour ago.
I made my way up to the Fifteenth story of Adams Corp. I was nervous as this was the most important day of my life. It was my first day as the new assistant of Ivan Lewis Adams. New York's most eligible bachelor who also happened to be the CEO of this prestigious company. As the elevator started to move, I felt ill.Don't get me wrong. I was extremely excited about the opportunity. I was somehow selected among the most competitive and attractive group of people with extremely high qualification. Anyone would kill to have this job. I am a fortunate woman. However, the main reason for my discomfort was that I'd be working closely with Ivan Adams.The man
Two Years Later...That's right. I survived two years working with this neurotic man. It only took 25 therapy sessions and 72 hours of commitment to a mental hospital.Kidding....it wasn't that bad. But it isn't that great either.The more I got to know him, the easier it got, at least. However, I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy. How should I put it? He was a literal Devil.
I ran home. Okay, not literally. I hopped inside a cab and told him to drive faster. I can't believe I totally embarrassed myself in front of my boss."I'm back!" I yelled after arriving at the apartment.No answer. Mark must've left already. I felt bad for him. Poor guy must be tired of my bullshit. I decided just to sit down and watch TV. I turn on the entertainment news channel, and there he was, Mr. Boss man, right there inside the TV screen looking dashing as always. Seriously? It's like I can't escape him. He is on TV too. But why was he on TV?
"I'm glad boss broke up with Katie Mckinzee, now we can finally be together," Mandy said after I told her about the roses."Very funny, you barely say two words to the man," I rolled my eyes. "Why send roses though? Isn't it kind of cruel?""I don't know. It's kind of....poetic," Mandy said.Poetic...somehow, I'm having a hard time picturing him as a poet. I wondered what kind of man he really is.
I quietly worked on some paperwork for the meeting that would take place later in the day. Ivan's mother was supposed to visit the office today, which put him on edge. They don't exactly have a close mother and son relationship. I don't understand why because she was a delightful person. She always treated me like I'm her daughter. Not to mention she was incredibly beautiful. Beauty must run in that family.I went to his office when his mother arrived to let him know. I tried to leave after announcing her arrival, but he stopped me midway."No, stay here with me," he said, almost desperately.
I prepared myself for the trip to Paris. I didn't understand why he insisted that I go with him. It was a conference, and he definitely didn't need me there, so what was the point?Oh well, I should stop overthinking and just go with it. I've always wanted to go to Paris anyway. I mean, hello! It was Paris!Mark was not happy about me going away for an entire week, just as I suspected. But I promised I'd call him every day and we will video chat. It was just a week, right?I laid back on my plane seat. It would be a long flight, but it w
"I am sorry, Ivan, I must've misheard you. I thought I heard you say you were hitting on me," I said and smiled awkwardly."You heard correctly. I think you are gorgeous, so I want to offer you a chance to be my woman," he said with a straight face."I didn't realize you had such a great sense of humor, but haha, you got me," I said."I am not joking. I never joke about things like these. I have been very pleased with you these past couple of
The next day, he acted as nothing happened. He was back to his stoic and no bullshit attitude. I was more than okay to avoid that type of conversation, so I sure as hell didn't bring it up. I decided to stop thinking about it and focus on work. These documents aren't going to prepare themselves.I had some time after the presentation, so I decided to go shopping. I am in Paris, after all. The concierge recommended a boutique that was apparently super trendy and affordable, so I decided to give it a try.It really was a beautiful store. Dozens of beautiful dresses and outfits were displayed, and I was having a hard time picking. I decided to go wi
