Fiona POVStay away from Nolan. Stay away from Nolan. Stay away from Nolan. I keep the mantra on repeat in my head as I work. He’s probably still angry from last night, and with the confusion I feel and the rejection, I don’t exactly want to be anywhere near Nolan. He acted like the kiss wasn’t h
Fiona POV“Can I help you, sir?”When I enter, he motions me toward him and turns his computer screen my way as I stop beside his desk.“Which of these letter heads looks more professional for our company?”Did he seriously just ask that?Confusion and annoyance bubble up inside me, and I bite my to
Fiona POVMaybe I should have waited for the bus.Originally, I hadn’t wanted to wait for the delayed vehicle, and again, I didn’t want to pay for a taxi. Taxi costs have been so high lately that usually, I would rather walk. Everything was fine when I started walking away from the company. There we
Fiona POVI hurry away from my desk before Nolan can call me to eat lunch with him. For the last three days, he’s found reasons to bring me to his office or out of the building for lunch. Yesterday, we met at his house during lunch time to deal with a party issue.Even though I keep trying to avoid
Fiona POVOpening my eyes, I blink against the sunlight coming through the windows. The white ceiling above me rub at my eyes. Where the heck am I? My ceiling is a gross grey color and has weird water stains on it.I gasp, my breath coming in and out too quickly.Unease hits me, and I sit up, lookin
Fiona POVLeaning back, I let my body sink beneath the hot water. I soak in the vanilla rose scent, letting the warm and calming bath relax my tense muscles. Since it’s Saturday, I don’t have to worry about anything related to work, and I can just relax.I haven’t had a lot of time to just breathe a
Nolan POV“Thank you, Mr. Maneka. I look forward to our cooperation,” I say, bowing in respect to the man. He bows as well before walking away and going back to mingling with the crowd.“That no good, little bastard. Who does he think he is?” Fiona mutters, her angry tone catching my attention as sh
Fiona POVThe sight of the Princess’s dress covered in cake makes me gasp. What’s worse are the fat tears rolling down her cheeks. I didn’t see how it happened, but somehow, the cake toppled and fell on her and the floor.“Yes, I need your best, largest cake delivered to the King’s mansion as soon a
Pushing through the front doors of Iron Wolf Pub, I immediately scan the busy room. The bar looks the same as it did a week ago when I was here with Alpha Mina, except tonight, it’s busier. Even with all the people, I don’t find the one I’m looking for.“Excuse me,” I call to the bartender who immed
Fiona POVThe chicken in my skillet sizzles, smelling richly of spices and making my stomach growl. Getting to leave work early today was a blessing. It actually gave me time to cook for myself instead of picking up a frozen meal or eating a sandwich like always.I stir the vegetables in the other p
Fiona POVAfter a restless night full of tossing and turning, I trudge into work and sit at my desk. I quietly greet those who speak to me, but I don’t engage in conversation. I move through my morning tasks slowly, making sure everything is perfect, so I don’t have to interact with Nolan when he ge
Fiona POVIce cream in hand, I flop down on the couch, take a bite of chocolatey goodness, and turn on the TV for a distraction. Anger and confusion fill me, making even my ice cream taste bad.Nolan shouldn’t have been so angry. Yes, I was only twenty minutes late returning from lunch, but it wasn’
“Could I think about it for a few days?” I ask hesitantly. “I haven’t been in a relationship in a while and…”I don’t want to say anything about Andy, but Billy seems to understand because he squeezes my hand gently and smiles again.“Of course. Take as much time as you need, but I want you to know
Fiona POVMy fingers move on their own as I type out a general thank you email to each of the people who sent money to raise funds for the festival.Nolan didn’t need the money, being rich and all, but he said turning the money away would hurt the feelings of those who wanted to give.Just as I send
Fiona POVThe icy glare Chloe sends my way when she arrives is not surprising. She’s been sending me the same angry look for two days, since I called her.I tried to apologize and explain my phone call, but she wouldn’t listen. There is no hint of the kind, bubbly girl I first met. Now she’s like a
Fiona POVThat bastard had no right to treat me like a common gold digger. Nolan knows how I feel about Andy, yet he still had the gall to suggest that I’m the one trying to climb to a higher position. The thought of stooping to Andy’s level and going behind Nolan’s back like that makes my stomach c
Fiona POVDo you know how hard it is to concentrate when someone is staring at you?It’s extremely difficult. My fingers stall on my keyboard as I try to focus. Damn Nolan and his King emergency. When I arrived this morning, Nolan pulled me aside and said he wouldn’t be able to attend the meeting to
