Foreword

I look out the window, staring at the skyscraper that is opposite the building that I'm working in from my desk. Suddenly, my desk phone rings. I saw the extension number it’s Abigail, my HR director. I’m a HR Executive in Gilded Royale. Gilded Royale is the top Brewery & Wine Company WorldWide. The company is specially known for their beverage especially their Coffees and Cafe. There are 10,000 over cafe Gilded Royale owned. We’re considered the top 10 richest companies in the beverages industry. 

“Laura please come into my office” Abigail says through the phone. I get up and walk to her office which is 20 feet away from my office. I knock on her transparent office glass door and Abigail looks up at me signalling me with her hand telling me to enter. I sat on the chair opposite her with her desk separating us. Abigail was busy typing on her keyboard while her eyes were focusing on the screen. 

“Nigel is moving to London” Abigail says as she stops typing and interlocking her fingers while resting her arm on the table and looks at me. Nigel is the CEO of Gilded Royale in New York that means he’s my boss. His office is on the top floor which is 45th while the HR office is on the 30th floor. 

“Why the sudden change?” I ask. Abigail looked away and shrugged. “You don’t know?” I frown in confusion. Abigail has always known as a strong minded independent woman and not knowing things is not in her nature. “Is something going on?” I ask again as Abigail keeps silent and still looking away. 

“Nigel is moving to London permanently while his son Adrian takes over in New York” Abigail says while slowly looking at me “He’s moving tomorrow…” She added. My eyes went wide open. 

“Does the Media or Press know about this?”I ask, frowning my brows. Usually the change of CEO could affect the company reputation. Especially when the new CEO is going to be Adrian Hawthorne. I’ve read about him in the news a couple of times and as a HR i must know what is going on around Gilded Royale and that includes Adrian Hawthorne.

He was known for his looks as he could be the most good looking man any woman has ever laid her eyes on. I’ve seen him once or twice in real life and yes he is stunning but he is not known to be friendly. I never once saw him smile but he never went anywhere with his secretary beside him, Emily Brown.

Honestly, I think there is something more going on between then a boss - secretary relationship as they have been seen going out to the club and hotel together. 

“I’m releasing the news by tonight. Meanwhile liaise with Emily his secretary about the things that need to be done before he arrives in New York tomorrow” Abigail says. “And Laura. Please be at his welcome party tomorrow”. Abigail added as I opened her office glass door leaving her office.

I just looked at her as she looked at me. She knew how much I hate going to a party or social event as I don’t like having anecdotes with strangers or building a relationship with people I barely knew.

Simple said, I hate meeting new people. I don’t see the purpose of meeting new people building rapport and laugh at their jokes even when I don’t find it funny but was forced to laugh because that is what everyone does to fit in. I sigh and leave her office. 

I email his secretary, Emily and she sends me a list that needs to be done by tomorrow. I look through the list and I gotta say he is the CEO that we’re going to have trouble handling. There are like 10 things that need to be done in under 24 hour?! Make a restaurant reservation? All furniture must be white? This is ridiculous but i had to do it without question especially when he is going to be my boss. Guess I have picked him up at the airport to escort him to his apartment so that i can introduce him how Gilded Royale are in New York and going through our every partners name to him.

As I looked through the list again, I thought to myself. There is no way I'm able to complete all this by myself so I went out of my office and looked around. Everyone is busy typing away on their keyboard.

I glanced at Greta, a HR generalist. I walk towards her desk and say “Hey. Could you complete these two tasks by tomorrow morning?” I ask. She instantly gets up from her seat and mumble “Yes..sure”. I knew she didn't wish to do it but she can’t say no to me as I’m the executive.

Next Day….

I booked a Mercedes Benz S class, company car and a driver to drive Adrian around New York. “Morning Ms. Williams”. Barry the driver greeted me with a wide smile as he opened the passenger door for me. I press my lips together not showing my teeth and smile gently. I bow lightly acknowledging his greeting and went into the car. I glanced on my watch to see the time.

I have 30 minutes left before Adrian arrives. 

During the whole journey to the airport I could feel butterflies in my stomach. Not gonna lie meeting Adrian makes me nervous because I’m nervous around good looking guys. I always rambled when I talk, especially when I look at their eyes. It’s been a habit of mine since i was young. It could be a disorder or a sickness.

I close my eyes, calming myself as I rehearse in my mind about what to talk about to Adrian when We’re in the car later. 

Soon, we arrived at the airfield. I looked up at the sky and I could see a plane landing. Adrian took a private jet to arrive in New York that is why I waited for him in the Aerodrome instead of inside the airport. As soon as the jet landed, I instantly knew that it was Adrian's jet.

I inhale and exhale as I clenched my jaw and gripped onto my Ipad. 

As the plane stops, the airstairs go down a man figure with big build and broad shoulders walk down the stairs. One look I knew that was Adrian.

He’s wearing a black shirt and deliberately unbuttons 3 of his buttons exposing his chest with black pants. Gosh he’s hot. My breath getting shallow Inhaling through my nostrils and exhaling through my pursed lips as he walked towards me.

What is this that i’m feeling? Why do I feel breathless as he gets nearer. I grip onto my Ipad tightly and walk towards Adrian slowly as I glance at him. His thick brows with grey eyes and his fuller pink lips. I exhale as I look away and stretch my arm for a handshake. I didn’t smile, I couldn't because I'm stunned at how good looking he is. I look on his forehead avoiding his eyes and welcome him 

“Welcome to New York, Mr. Hawthorne. I’m Laura the HR Executive.” He glanced at me, not smiling and took my hand. The way his big hand grip onto my hand and shake it. Gosh his gripping is sending electricity through my body. I quickly pull away my hand before I fall into his spells.

I move my head to the side to find that his secretary is not behind him. “Where is your secretary?” I ask. He looked away as he sighs heavily and says “She quit. Find me a new secretary”. He ordered me as he entered the car.

Foreword
I roll over in bed and close my eyes for five minutes, but all my efforts to sleep are useless because I'm thinking about her. Obviously another awake night awaits me so I get up from my bed at once and go to the desk. It is impossible for me not to spend hours and hours looking at her photos. I grab one of the photos on the table and start to appreciate them again, the photo was taken from behind while Kim was walking along the road.I remember that day perfectly, she looked totally carefree, with her hair down and listening to music with her headphones on. In the photograph you can only see her back, her long legs and her short hair, but it is more than enough to drive me crazy. She's a goddess. Everyone should realize how magnificent she is, but apparently they see her as a normal person. Anyway I prefer it that way because it will be mine and nobody else's.I put the photo on the wall and tape it, its place is next to the others. My photo collection is quite large

Chapter 1
I was very excited to read the new book that I had bought online. As soon as the package arrived at my house, I got comfortable in my room on the desk and started reading. My window was open and it offered me a very nice view of the landscape outside. It was a sunny afternoon in Puerto Cabezas and I could hear the birds singing in the distance. It seemed like the perfect time to immerse myself in my reading.I wasn't a romantic woman so the novels that revolved around a love story seemed very boring to me. The book I was reading was suspenseful and I was very intrigued, I was so immersed in the story that I was really scared when my alarm went off. I grabbed my phone and read the reminder. It was time to study. I turned the page I was reading and put the book on my desk.There was an unusual movement in the house next door because a new family was moving. Before leaving for college in the morning, I caught a glimpse of a moving truck that had brought their furniture, b

The next day I was having breakfast quietly until I remembered that I had a neighbor to avoid, the event of the previous night invaded my brain and I couldn't help but feel ashamed. I didn't want to remember anything about what happened, but my brain was a specialist, forgetting the important things and repeating as a scratched disc the biggest shames of my life. And if it was shame, last night I had broken a new record.For nothing in the world did I want to see Ezra again, but now he was my neighbor and it would be difficult to hide from him. A temporary solution was not to go to the cafeteria or shop at the supermarket, but as much as I wanted to avoid it. I knew that sooner or later I would meet him again. It was a real shame.I went to one of the windows that looked towards his house and moved the curtain slightly. There was nobody in the garden and there was no sign of Ezra either. That was my moment. I grabbed my backpack and quickly went out on the road to take

Somehow I walked up the road and got into a taxi, I didn't even go back to my section to pick up my bag, I wanted to scream and break something, but I bit my lower lip and kept quiet the whole way.

When I met him, he gave me a good impression, but it turned out to be the opposite of what I thought. I thought he loved me, but it was all a farce, he only saw me as a challenge, he thought that he could change my way of being, but he was wrong and I made the same mistake in thinking that I could change him. What a fool I was. The tears wanted to come out of my eyes, but somehow I kept them inside. All I wanted at the time was to lock myself in my room.I opened the door of my house and entered with slow steps.

The sunlight invaded my entire room and I was forced to open my eyes. My routine as a college student was starting to bother me. Thank goodness I only had one more year to go to finish and get my degree so I needed to push myself a little harder. In a perfect world Fernando would withdraw from university and I could be calm, but it was obvious that this was not going to happen. I crawled out of bed and started to get ready, my mood was on the floor. I went down the stairs with a slow step, I wanted to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, but when I got to the living room I was struck by an envelope that was under the front door. Had someone left us a message? It must have been a mistake, my parents' clients never addressed them in such an informal way and no friend of mine would send me a note ignoring WhatsApp. I went over to investigate and opened the envelope, it was a typewritten letter and had my name written in capital letters on the back of the paper. I started r

The next day I woke up thinking about Isaac, it made me nervous just remembering his words. I had to summon the courage to confess my feelings to him, and I had to do it soon. I got ready as usual and just as I was about to leave the house I noticed another piece of paper lying under the door."It's impossible," I whispered puzzled.Was it another note from Isaac? A part of me was flattered. I took the page and read it without knowing what to expect:“I can't wait to see you, being away from you is a real ordeal for me, I already want to get close to you so I can caress your hair and touch your lips. Your vanilla perfume drives me crazy, everything in you drives me crazy. We'll be together soon."I stared at the door, but I was actually thinking about what I had read. It was a very romantic message and it made me feel a little strange because I didn't usually get that kind of attention. I opened the door and looked around, but no one was there so I

I was getting ready as usual when someone started to whistle in front of my house, I went to the window and saw that it was Isaac, he was riding a black motorcycle, he had a very sexy black leather jacket and he was wearing an extra helmet for me. My eyes widened, had Isaac bought a motorcycle? I was not expecting that surprise. I opened my window and waved at him, Isaac smiled at me and motioned for me to come down. He wanted to take me to college. Pulse racing, I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs. My parents were standing in the living room ready to go to work."Hurry up Kim, Isaac is waiting for you," my mom said carelessly as she fixed my dad's tie. They trusted Isaac as much as I did and didn't even ask me questions when I went out with him.I went to meet him and found him leaning on the seat of the motorcycle. It was parked on the side of the road and it looked flawless. Every last strand of his hair was in place."Well, well. Look what we have here,&r

On Sunday Isaac called me on the phone and said good morning, it was just what I needed to start my day, we both really wanted to see each other and we would have made plans if it were not because I received a text message from Ezra reminding me that he would arrive in the afternoon to remove my stitches."Your neighbor is starting to annoy me," Isaac admitted to my surprise.“Don't say that Isaac, remember that he is going to do me a great favor by removing the stitches.”"Okay, I guess we'll see you tomorrow." I don't know if I will survive that long away from you."As always so dramatic," I scoffed.“Behave yourself and don't get too close to that little doctor.”“He is not interested in me, there is no reason for you to be jealous.”“I would not be so sure.”I frowned.“Why do you say that?”"I'm sure he sent you the roses."I was quiet for a m

I looked in the mirror and all I found were dark circles that was to be expected since I hadn't slept well the night before. I took out my makeup kit and put on a lot of concealer and foundation, usually nothing I did looked good on me, but that day I achieved a decent result. All I needed was more practice.Isaac called me early and told me that he would be late for classes, so the best thing was for me to go on my own and meet at the university. Walking down the hall I could hear my parents talking in their room, but I was too late for college so I left the house without saying goodbye to them. While waiting for a taxi on the side of the road I began to receive strange looks from some people who passed in front of me. How much did they see? What was wrong with me? I snorted and pretended nothing was wrong, but when I saw a woman with an astonished expression I realized that she was not looking at me, I followed that woman's gaze and turned to see my house for the first time

When I got home the security cameras were up and running, my parents had been surprisingly fast. I could see the camera recordings on all devices and even on the TV, so I linked them to my computer so I could see all the videos in real time. There was only one camera that interested me the most and that was the one that pointed towards the front door.My parents were making dinner and had told me to relax, but after twenty minutes I was still sitting in the same position watching my computer. I wanted to go to the cafeteria and buy a cake but it was already dark and I was afraid that something would happen to me if I leave the house. I rested my elbow on the table while I stared at the videos, the cars came and went on the road and that was the only thing that happened. Nothing else."I must be freaking out," I whispered under my breath and slammed my computer shut.I had lived in that neighborhood all my life and I knew all my neighbors perfectly, I had never b
