Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •78•Inauguration Function
“Ugh! You're killing me!” Skylar groaned as Ella's brush continued fluttering across her face non-stop. She must've been sitting stiff like a statue for twenty minutes straight, and still Ella wasn't done. By now, she had no doubt that her best friend had gone way beyond the light make-up they'd bargained for.Tonight was the inauguration of Lancaster Innovations into the Knight Corporations and a business function was being thrown. Skylar would've preferred to sit out of it, but there were going to be prospective clients and investors, and as the CFO, she knew her presence would be important.“There! Done! Are you dead yet?” Ella huffed rolling her eyes. Grabbing the backrest of Skylar's chair, she rotated it until Skylar was facing the mirror of the vanity table. “See how gorgeous you look!”Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Skylar had to admit that she looked stunning if not too dolled up like she was going for a beauty pageant or something. She would've preferred the make-
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •79•Coming To Terms
Luca would've still thought he knew the meaning of estranged if the last two weeks hadn't happened, because with the way Skylar treated him ever since their confrontation in the boardroom, he might've as well been a complete stranger.Despite the fact that she reported her work to him and they were constantly in meetings with other executives, he might as well be invisible.During the first week, Luca tried his best to breach the barrier she'd placed between them. From saying a hi whenever he saw her to flashing her small smiles to pulling her chair for her in the boardroom, he tried it all. And her only response was always stoic silence or a stiff nod of her head.Finally, he'd decided to give up trying to change the new status quo. He would give her the distance she so craved, but how was that any easy when they had to be close for so many things? Even in the elevators where he could feel the sizzle of awareness deep in his bones, he had no choice but to curb the urge to grab her an
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •80•Piece Of Work
The whole room suddenly seemed to be deserted, because Skylar suddenly felt like it was only her and Luca in the hall, and she thought she would drown in the depths of his cyan eyes.The words he said reverberated in her head, turning her brain hazy in an eclectic blend of shock, disbelief, and anger. Words she would've given anything to hear from his mouth three years ago, yet now only turned her into a conflicted mess.“Skylar, did you hear me? I love you... Vanilla.”The throbbing pain that squeezed at her heart on hearing the endearment he'd used for her years ago was like a wake-up call and a reminder of how much hurt he'd caused. That wasn't love.Bracing her hands against his chest, she glared at him, praying the tears that were burning the back of her throat wouldn't fall and betray her.“Let go of me, Luca.”“Skylar...”“Let go of me if you don't want me to scream.” She bit out through her gritted teeth.A glint of misery dimmed his eyes as he finally unwrapped his arms from a

Skylar stumbled back into the hall, feeling gutted and bloody and bruised and so damn stupid. She couldn't believe she'd allowed herself to even consider the possibility of getting back together with Luca. She'd been such a goner when he professed his supposed love for her, and she had no doubt that she would've allowed herself to be swept off her feet if he hadn't brought up the cheating allegations again.She'd done so well for herself in the past two weeks, put on a nonchalant facade every time she was around him, even when her body had screamed for him. But she'd let him knock all that progress to the ground in less than an hour.Now she felt like she'd taken ten steps forward and a hundred backward. An idiot, that's exactly what she was.But not anymore, she vowed.Uh, didn't you tell yourself the same thing two weeks ago?Ignoring the ugly, unwarranted voice in her head, Skylar beckoned a waiter over and grabbed a bottle of Chardonnay off his tray. Her emotions were on fire and
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •82•Out Of His Mind
Luca stumbled into his rented suite, pausing slightly at the door. The ground looked a bit shaky but not too much, so Caleb had definitely been exaggerating when he said he was drunk and would cause a scene. He'd only drunk a couple more glasses of wine and rightly so; everything that could've gone wrong tonight had spectacularly gone to shit. No, not the inauguration– he always knew that one would be a success – but with Skylar. Like always, he found himself spinning out of control whenever she was around.Before the inauguration, he'd had every intention of making tomorrow his last day in Chicago. He would return to Rockford and leave the Chicago branch in the hands of Brandon, leave Skylar's life and try to let go of his anger and reckless frustration in hopes that he'll finally be able to move on.And then her kiss with Alex had happened and that planned had faded into a memory once he realized how scared he was of losing her forever. But now he was back to being torn between stay
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •83•The Juice
“You can never do anything right, can you?” Luca bellowed at his temporary secretary. “Get the fuck out of my sight.”His screaming match with his cousin had left him with an intensified headache and a rotten mood, so his secretary's penchant for overlooking small details had finally ticked him off.He watched the young woman scurried out of his office, practically in tears. Then he sighed, knowing very well she hadn't committed any serious offence. He needed an outlet, and she was the only one around to bear the brunt of his messed up emotions.For the next ten minutes, he tried to focus on work, but it was like trying to squeeze blood out of a stone; impossible when the front, back and center stage of his mind had all been taken up by Skylar.It'd only been some hours, but he missed her terribly, as if it'd been eternity already. He wanted to see her. No, he needed to see her, but he was afraid that the disdain she'd shown him last night would still be in her eyes.He'd seen that dis

Later, Luca sat in a VIP booth in the nightclub of his hotel, Caleb across from him as he complained about Skylar's gullibility.“Can you imagine? She actually believed the bull crap in the magazine. How can she even think I would be engaged to Natasha when I made it so abundantly clear how much I want to be with her?”“Dude...” Caleb began to say when a scantily dressed strip dancer waltzed into their booth, going straight for Caleb's lap. And just like that, whatever Caleb was about to say immediately receded as he run his hands all over the dancers naked ass.Luca glared at the woman, furious at the interruption. “Get out of here.”Her eyes widened, seemingly taken aback by the bite in his tone. But she soon squared her shoulders belligerently and pursed her lips into a stubborn line as she focused her attention back on Caleb.Knowing exactly what she was here for, Luca pulled his wallet out of his pants pocket, whipped out a bunch of dollar nites he didn't bother to count and turne
Taming My Hot Personal Assistant •85•More Than An Idiot
A surge of rage sent Luca bouncing off his seat and lunging for his friend. Grabbing Caleb by the collar of his Lacoste, he brought him up and glared into the other man's eyes as the sense of betrayal sank in.“You wanted to take Skylar away from me. You tried to take Skylar away from me!” He growled in disbelief.“You said you wanted nothing else to do with her. You weren't together anymore.” Caleb shot back defensively.“That's not a fucking excuse, you bastard!”Pushing him back, he slammed his fist against his mouth, sending the other man tumbling back into the sofa with a thud. He squared his shoulders, expecting Caleb to fight back, but his friend merely felt his bursted lip and let out a sigh.“I was always attracted to Skylar, you knew that." Caleb said silently. “I just didn't realize how strong my feelings for here were until the two of you started dating. But I never once tried to make a move on her while you were still together. But when you said you were done with her–”“I
