View MoreMelania's POVI felt it the second I stepped out of the elevator.It wasn’t loud or obvious. No one pointed. No one laughed. But the air shifted tightened like the office itself had inhaled and was holding its breath. Conversations that had been flowing freely just moments before dipped into awkward pauses. Laughter stuttered. Someone cleared their throat too loudly.I kept my eyes forward and walked toward my desk.“Good morning,” I said softly to the woman arranging files by the printer.She looked up a second too late. “Oh….morning… Melania.”That pause told me everything.I sat down and turned on my computer, forcing my shoulders to relax even as something coiled uncomfortably in my chest. I didn’t need to look around to know I was being watched. I could feel curiosity sliding over me, stripping me down to assumptions.Who is she?Why her?How did she get this job?The questions hovered in the silence between keyboard clicks.I opened my inbox and focused on the screen. Emails wai
I learned very quickly that Austin Rivers didn’t waste words. His voice was precise, clipped, and to the point no unnecessary flourishes, no softening of tone. Just straight, cold commands that left no room for interpretation."Schedule. Now."I straightened instinctively, my fingers tightening around the tablet in my hands. It was barely eight-thirty in the morning, and I’d already gone through three meetings, answered twelve emails, and survived a piercing, icy stare from him that I could still feel crawling up my spine. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring out at the city like he was contemplating the universe or maybe just the next problem to crush under his heel.Without turning, he kept his gaze fixed on the skyline, voice low but sharp. “Schedule. Now.”I nodded quickly, because that’s what I’d learned to do around him: agree, comply, move fast. I stepped forward and approached his desk, heart pounding softly in my chest. I could feel the weight of his gaze even be
When the sunlight hit my face, I was already awake, and a groan escaped my lips as I tried to rub the sleepiness away, feeling the soreness and stiffness on my body.The thought of my new boss seeing a video that was embarrassing enough to send my reputation completely tumbling down in front of him made my cheeks heat up once again, and it had kept me up for most of the night that I barely managed to fall asleep.Groaning again, I reached my feet off the bed and stretched, wincing as I c****** my joints, my sore muscles and tired bones aching terribly as they were awakened.Once I took a few steps forward, my ringtone drew my attention back, making my eyes dart around frantically before I grabbed my phone from the bedside table.Accepting my brother's call, I placed the phone on the loudspeaker as I began walking toward my closet and said, "Hey, baby bro?"A faint chuckle escaped my lips when I heard Liam groan and hiss his teeth before muttering, "Someone sounds like they are in a go
Calmly, I kept my gaze fixed on Levi, but on the inside, I was shaking in my shoes, afraid of how he had the power to take away my newfound dream of working for the most successful company ever created.Without saying a word to me, he reached for the folder again and opened it, looking at the sheet, his expression serious, and my nerves grew stronger.After what felt like an eternity to me, I watched as Levi put the paper down and looked at me again, his gray eyes boring into mine as a small smirk played upon his lips."You are hired." He announced calmly.For a couple of minutes, I couldn't comprehend what had just happened, and it took all my strength to keep my mouth shut. So I could only stare at Levi in shock, and I blinked a few times, unsure about what was going on."You are seriously hiring me?" I repeated, hoping that somehow that might make everything seem more real,"What? Do you find yourself incompetent to be my secretary?" Levi asked, looking straight at me, his eyebrows
