LOGINBad luck isn’t always far from your feet when you decide to have a one night stand with a stranger. It’s just a one night stand, right? I can put it in my past and move on. But then the next day, he was my trainee. I can deal with that—I’m his senior and I can make him forget about that night. But he was such a flirt and I gave in every time like I couldn’t resist him. But what I didn’t know is that he has a hidden identity.
View MoreEMILY'S POVI sat back down on the chair as I let out a sigh of relief, I had been holding my breath since I walked out of Jace's office. I hated the fact that I felt like my heart was being pricked by a bunch of needles because he didn't chase after me, a part of me wanted him too. Immediately I reached my office I had asked Diane to inform anyone who asked about me that I had already gone home."Diane" I called out from behind her, I watched her jerk in shock as she turned to me with wide eyes she was probably absent minded, I gave her an apology look "Would you like to go clubbing tonight, just me and you?" I asked. "Sure, of course" she replied as she kept nodding in approval, I couldn't help but chuckle in amusement. "Cool, I'll go grab my things then" I said immediately as I walked back into my office without waiting for her reply.I and Diane stepped into the club, the music was so loud I could feel the vibration on my chest, loud laughter, glasses clinking kept resounding i
JACE'S POVI watched Emily leave my office, her curvy hips swaying as she walked out, closing the door with a loud bang. My fingers ran through my hair in exhaustion. I knew this would happen one day and I thought that by then I'd be ready to tell and face her when that day came, but now I have no idea what to say or even do.She clearly misunderstood me. I took two steps forward, wanting to rush over and grab her to explain myself, but I stopped by the door, my gaze boring into it like it was Emily herself. If I were to rush over to her now, what would I say… after all, she was right before me a while ago but I couldn't even bring myself to come up with a reasonable explanation.I ended up pacing around my office for a complete thirty minutes, with sighs leaving my throat every ticking second.I sat back in my chair, leaning backwards, my hands on my face as I let out a muffled sound, and then I picked up a file, deciding to distract myself with something.It took me long enough to r
EMILY’S POV Inside my office, I sat at my desk staring blankly at my computer screen without seeing anything on it. The words blurred together into meaningless shapes as my mind kept replaying the scene from earlier over and over again. The man I’d slept with. Not once but twice. The man I’d argued with in meetings, the man I’d corrected and assigned tasks to like he was just another junior analyst. The man whose hands had been on my waist just yesterday, whose lips had been on mine, whose fingers had made me come apart in a hotel bathroom. That man was the CEO of the entire company. The CEO. Jace Callahan. How had I not known? How had no one known? And more importantly, what the hell was going to happen now? My stomach churned with a mixture of humiliation and dread. I couldn’t even bring myself to leave my office since the scene in the main workspace this morning. Every time I thought about walking out there and facing all those employees who’d witnessed everything, I
EMILY’S POV I grabbed Jace’s arm and pulled him slightly aside, dropping my voice to an urgent whisper. “Shut the fuck up. What are you doing? We’re both going to lose our jobs if you keep this up.” But Jace didn’t even look at me. His eyes remained fixed on Miranda with an intensity that made the air feel heavy. Miranda let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “Oh, I see what this is. You must think because you have a pretty face you can sleep your way around here just like Emily did. Is that it? Did she promise you something in exchange for defending her?” Jace’s jaw tightened and when he spoke, his voice was dangerously calm. “That’s rich coming from you, Miranda. I think you’re confusing me with someone else. Someone who showed up at my office uninvited last night and threw herself at me despite being told no.” Miranda’s face went scarlet and several people around us exchanged shocked glances. “Consider yourself fired,” Jace said flatly. “Effective immediately.” The murmurs
