Aiden’s POVToday was my grandpa's 70th birthday. I had been busy with work and hadn't visited him in months, so I decided to cancel a meeting and head home early.Before I left, I wanted to pick out a special gift for Grandpa. He had raised me since I was a baby after my parents passed away. I knew it couldn't have been easy for him, a busy businessman, to take care of an infant.But he believes he owes me that much.I went to the mall and browsed through a few stores, looking for the perfect gift.I wanted something that would match his taste, but they seemed to have nothing satisfying.As I was surfing through their collections, in line, I overheard a girl complaining about rich people being demanding and never satisfied.My frown deepened.I turned to look at her, and our eyes met for a brief moment. She looked away quickly, but I was intrigued.Her hazel eyes were oddly attractive.There was something about them that caught my attention.I finally found what I wanted and paid for

Aiden’s POVI was glad Riley accepted my invitation to dinner. I was thrilled but chose to play it cool and not make it too obvious.I roamed my stare at her, admiring the red dress she wore that hugged every curve elegantly and perfectly.A pang of attraction hit me.“I apologize again for Elena’s behavior; she—”She cut me off, “This is like the fourth time you’ve said this, and I told you, sir, it’s fine,” she said, a smile spreading on her lips.I paused momentarily before saying. "You see, Riley, Elena’s father was my father's driver. They both died in a car accident when I was just born. I've known Elena since we were kids, and I've always felt responsible for her.”Her expression changed to sympathy. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Russell. I had no idea."I nodded, taking a sip of my drink. "Yeah, it was a tough time for all of us. But despite her temper, Elena is incredibly talented. I've tried to ignore her bad behavior as long as she's not too out of control."Riley nodded, “I get it. S

Riely’s POV“What’s wrong?” Aiden asked, snapping me out of my train of thought.I decided to be direct and told Aiden that I received a call from the hospital.“Did they receive the transfer?” He immediately asked.My brows furrowed, taken aback—so he was the one that transferred the money to them? I couldn't hide my surprise.“But… but how?” I couldn’t help but ask.How does he even know about my mom and the hospital bills?Aiden stopped what he was doing and turned to me with a sincere expression. "You got drunk last night and told me that your mother needed surgery," he explained gently. "You were crying and saying that you had no money and your only hope was your monthly allowance."I felt my face heat up with embarrassment. God, how could I be so stupid when I was drunk?! Aiden continued, "I thought we were already friends, and considering you helped me with the contract signing, I decided to pay your salary in advance."I was touched by his kindness. Because of my ex-boyfriend,

Riley’s POVI stepped into the office, my heart filled with so much contentment and satisfaction; knowing that I didn’t have my mother’s hospital bills to pay felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my chest. And this was all thanks to Aiden. I couldn’t thank him enough; letting out a sigh of relief, a small smile tugged on my lips.As I made my way to my office, Jessica stopped me. "Riley, I would like to have a word,” she said, her tone harsh.I nodded, my brows furrowing, wondering what she wanted to talk about. "Molina told me that your salary was paid in advance?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.I knew Molina was the financial director and Jessica's good friend, so it wasn't surprising that she had told Jessica about this. "Yes," I answered cautiously.Jessica let out a scoff, her expression turning unbelievably, "You're just a new employee who's been working for less than a week. What qualifications do you have to draw your salary in advance? Or is it the boss's trust that m
