Choosen chapter 11
***Hi! This book is under MAJOR revision, so some things might not add up in the next chapters. Please read on with this in mind.Audrey colored herself thunderstruck as she stared dazedly at the man climbing out of the car in front of her. She was just leaving the restaurant after a meeting with Christian Parkinson - editor in chief of a leading men’s magazine alongside hers. They occasionally had their paths intertwined when the other’s in need or simply celebrating the achievement of another. Sassy and Bachelor are partners - although sometimes a competition.Audrey’s just dealt with a Parkinson and now here comes another with a bouquet of flowers in hand to bribe her. Actually, if she’s really being honest, she’s got herself involved with the Parkinsons long before she realized it. She met Margaret Parkinson when she volunteered at Parkinson Foundation. She was working between jobs back then. Margaret probably saw she’s got the potential and recommended her to

***Hi! This book is under MAJOR revision, so some things might not add up in the next chapters. Please read on with this in mind.Vren swirled the wine in his glass as he gaze at the empty seat across him. Audrey has been in the bathroom for quite some time and he’s starting to get worried. She’s excused herself twice, okay, make that thrice and this time Audrey took a little longer. He wanted to flee to her side when he saw her reappearing from the ladies’ room, looking paler than she did the second time she went in the bathroom.“Hey, you okay?” He was up to his feet, ushering her back to her seat. He was surprised when she allowed him to.She murmured something that sounded like a ‘thank you.’ She reaches for the glass of water and sips on it. “I’m fine.”Vren flops back down to his seat, perusing her. “The last time you told me that it nearly gave me a heart attack.”“I won’t faint.” She rolled her eyes.“You know, we can just go. You’re tired.”

***Hi! This book is under MAJOR revision, so some things might not add up in the next chapters. Please read on with this in mind.“Audrey, your doctor’s appointment today is.... Ahhhh.” Kylie gapes at her, her head tilting to the right. “What are you doing?”Audrey frowned. “Do you think you can buy me more vases? If I put so much water will the flowers drown?”“Uh. Yeah, I think they will.”“But if I put just a little water they will get thirsty, right?” Audrey just had her first bouquet of the day delivered and she couldn’t bear to not tend to it after the story Vren told her. He’s getting into her nerve; that’s something she will deny even to herself.“Uh, maybe?” she hesitated.“So, how much would be enough?” she slumped on her swivel chair.“I’m not sure. You want me to look it up?”“How do you not know that?”“I don’t really get flowers.” She types something on her phone. “It says water should be about 3/4 of the vase’s height. And

***Hi! This book is under MAJOR revision, so some things might not add up in the next chapters. Please read on with this in mind.Vren didn’t expect a text from Kylie at 7:00 AM. Hell, he never receives a text unless Audrey has instructed her assistant to relay an information to him. He’s come to a conclusion that Audrey never does that herself. And now, he’s been informed to not bother dropping by her office or if he does, he’ll never find her there.Though he was puzzled of what could have been the reason of her not being there, that part was left out. It was only after lunch that he gives in to the urge of going against of what he was told.As he steps inside the elevator and pressed the floor to her apartment, he’s still in mid-contemplation. Audrey was too quiet after seeing the doctor. Although, she’s the prickly type and that was her process of taking in all the stuff the OBGYN was talking about, there’s an inkling in his gut that he couldn’t scratch. Th

***Hi! This book is under MAJOR revision, so some things might not add up in the next chapters. Please read on with this in mind.“Sweetheart? Really?” Audrey hissed to his ear. She’s been dreading to attend the wedding. The first time she tolerated one was her best friend, Kathie Parkinson’s wedding and she ended up in irrevocable consequences. Lili Scott has eagerly invited her to her wedding and would do the cover for Sassy only if she did.Audrey shoots daggers at him although he refuses to acknowledge it. His hand is on the small of her back, a permanent grin on his face. “I did it on the spur of the moment.”She’s hell-bent on scratching that annoying smug look on his face. They made their way to the parking lot and she held her breath until they neared his Audi. By the time they were in a safe distance from the guests’ line of sight, the breath breezed past with an irritated, “are you out of your mind?”Vren simply looked at her. “I’m sorry. We should’ve
Choosen Chapter 16
Vren has considered himself thrown out of her apartment. He was having the surge of regret for jumping at her like an impulsive teenage kid. He’s lucky she didn’t resort to slapping him across the face. Audrey has repulsed his advances with a slight push on his chest. Or has he misread it? He definitely did. If he has not, Audrey wouldn’t be on his lap, pinning him on the sofa.His hands were on her waist and he stare at them, as if confused how they got there so quickly. Then very slowly, deliberately, he cupped her face in his either hands. Audrey’s eyes broadened as he fused their mouths to a searing kiss.Her fingers dug into his hair. They shifted to his bow tie, undoing it. Her blonde hair pooled around her shoulders and the sight of them brings back tons of drunken memories. She smells divine. He’s losing himself in her. His restraint was flaking off.Audrey arched into him when his hands started a trek upward. A nagging thought tickled the back of

When she was sure every single one is gathered around, she flops down on the seat next to Christian Parkinson whom she have set the meeting for in the first place.Her writers were gawking at him the moment they entered the room. She feels unattractive just sitting next to him. Kylie is standing by the door. She was about to go back to her desk but this time she’s needed to be there while she announces she’s taking a sabbatical. Although Christian wouldn’t be overseeing both Bachelor and Sassy for the next few weeks – not yet – she liked her staff to be prepared.If she were in their shoes, she would hate to be surprised a new leader is taking over them. She hates surprises. Partly because she hates the unknown and partly because she doesn’t like not being prepared.“So, I heard you and
