Nicola's povI'm totally freaking out . I'm going to be meeting him again . It's been so long since I've seen him …except for that fact that he's on almost every billboard there is in this town I'm so not ready for this. I'm not even sure I can face him ,I'm afraid of what might happen but at the moment I don't have a choice. I already promised dad that I'm doing to attend this meeting on his behalf and I know there's no backing out now so I might as well just do it cause what's that harm right?So why the hell am I still standing in the bathroom inside my office with my back to the door? I'm pretty sure that Carol must be pissed right now . Dispitw the fact that she's my secretary and she's getting paid to work for me she doesn't take my shit at all ,I know she's probably talking right now even when she knows very well that I can't hear anything she's saying through the bathroom door (that's basically why this is my favorite place in this entire building cause I can drown out every

William's povThis is so disgustingIf I were anywhere else I'd have already walked out, I'm simply still here out of the respect I feel for Mr Gerald and that respect seems to have been cut short because he wasn't going to be able to make it yet he didn't inform me . He didn't tell me that I'd have to be dealing with a woman when I arrive here ,he didn't mention that it'd be his daughter.Everybody talks about how she has a knack for landing all the deals she's ever handled. How she walks around with grace and beauty and presicion but nobody says anything about how she lacks the ability to stick to freaking time. I feel Jeremy's hands on my shoulder as he pats me and tells me to relax cause I need this deal as much as they do but this young lady doesn't seem to be bothered about other peoples disposal with regards to time. Stupid spoilt rich kid.And just like I had spoken my thoughts out loud the doors swung open and she walked in with her secretary by her side holding a stack of pa

Nicola's pov " Ahh William""Mr Gerald"I keep staring out the window of my dad's office. It has the most magnificent view ever , he says it's one of the reasons he choose this office in the first place . It's easy to loose oneself in it's view. Something about it is just very comfortingThe rush of vehicles on the road,the hustle and bustle of the streets filled with people during the day and then the view of thr sky and mountains that seem so near even though they're so far away . It makes it possible to believe nothing is actually out of ones reach"Baby girl are you listening?"I hear daddy say and it snaps me out if my trance and I turn around and smile at him ."Sorry dad I got carried away."He smiles at me ….I love it when he smiles "I was just telling William that I won't be around for the duration of our contract so you'll have to work with him on this."It's only then that I allowed myself to look in his direction . He has his eyes fixed on me the entire time with an expr

Nicola's pov "Nothing's right D. How am I supposed to work with him for 3 months?... we're not compatible in any way . It's obvious he'd rather have this deal done any other way than this way …things may go wrong and we'd ruin everything.""What you should be worried about is how you won't fall totally in love with him like the rest of us in the world by the end of those 3 months" …she stays before stuffing her face with a chocolate filled doughnut."That's a stupid thing to say Diana"...I laugh cause for some reason I think it's funny."I'm being serious Nick. He's a super handsome guy with a perfect nose and the best hair ever and a well defined chin and God those shoulders holy shit …did you see his hands…ohh I'd give anything to have those hands on me."She moaned..she actually moaned and I'm laughing really hard"You've totally lost your mind D…you just moaned.""I know"She says laughing too"And I can't tell if it's the doughnut or the fantasy I just had about Hawthorne ".I b

William's pov I've been both dreading and anticipating this day . It's Monday and Nicola is supposed to start working on the project here with me today and she's late …on a Monday morning she's late to work. It's fifteen minutes past 9 and she's not here . Does she think she's in her father's office? Does she think she can just do whatever she wants here ? It's not going to be that simple cause here things are done as per my rules I pick up my phone and dial her number . We had to exchange numbers because of this project.It begins to ring and she picks up on the third ring …she probably doesn't know in the one calling"Where are you ? You should've been here fifteen minutes ago."There's a pause after that and then I hear her say ."I'm walking down the hall in the direction of your office . And don't forget that I don't exactly live here …I'd have been here much earlier if I lived close to the office.""I'm waiting for you in my office…hasten up."...and then I cut the call .There

Nicola's pov "What was that about"I say to myself still struggling to catch my breath.I hate this man … he had totally disoriented my morning. Fuck my stupid body for responding to his proximityBut how couldn't I?I've literally been starved of any type of physical relationship. That was probably why I reacted that way to his closenessWhen I walked into his office and saw him sitting behind that magnificently large desk cladded in that beautiful army green suit with that perfectly white shirt and three of the buttons undone , his flawless hair and soul-peircing eyes staring back at me I felt myself shudder…he's an extremely beautiful man in every sense of of the word.And when he walked up to me and edged me against the door of his office leaving us locked in and the rest of the world a heartbeat away yet still too far away I just couldn't breathe… I couldn't stop myself from feeling.How am I supposed to survive these three months?There's no positive feeling I have towards him

William's pov"Put that stupid cigarettes away William""Mom language. Josh can hear you"My younger sister Amber says as she tries to calm her wailing son."And stop yelling l at him, he's not a child mom . Will you've been distracted since we got here what's the problem?""I'm fine Amber it's nothing to worry about"I say putting on a smile that I know is not convincing at all . She looks at me and I understand exactly what that look says "How was work today Willy".My mom asks . I take a long drag from my cigarette then toss it onto the ashtray before I turn to answer my mom."It was fine . Just another stressful day "."I heard Mr Gerald's daughter started working for you today"."She's not working for me mom , she's working with me . She lives just opposite "."Word has it that you punished her today ".I'm sure she intended that to be a question but I'm in no mood for this conversation so I'll just ignore it ."I think you guys should leave . It's getting late and I need to res

Nicola's povIt's absolutely beautiful.It's more than I imagined , the room decor is masterfully done .It's honestly magnificent and I love it.Everything is to my taste ,it almost seems like he did it on purpose to please me ,but I doubt so. We obviously don't like each other.Although in all honesty he didn't seem so bad after I'd spent time with him .But I can't let myself be fond of him, that'd be unfair.I've hurt him before and I'm sure if he were to find out he'd never forgive me and that's why I'll keep my distance.I won't get close in any way at all .Still wrapped in my thoughts I feel my phone vibrate in my hand, and just as expected it's my best friend Diana“Hey D what's up babe” I say through a stifled yawn “I'm alright darling. So… how was your day ? Was it less shitty ,just as shitty or a lot more shitty than we thought it'd be!” “Uhmm it's complicated.”...I'm instantly met with dead silence.Did the call disconnect or something?“D?? You still there?”“Yh I'm he
