Tangled in His Web Chapter 8: The First Crack
The office was eerily quiet at night.No buzzing phones. No clicking keyboards. Just the low hum of the city lights spilling through the glass windows of Knight Enterprises’ top floor.Lily Carter sat at her desk, surrounded by a fortress of files, her eyes drooping dangerously as she scribbled notes.“This is fine,” she muttered to herself, propping her chin on her palm. “Totally fine. I’m young. I’m energetic. Who needs sleep anyway?”Her pen slipped from her fingers.Her eyelids grew heavier.She blinked hard. “Nope. Not happening. Lily Carter does not fall asleep on the job—”And then she slumped forward, face-planting into the nearest stack of reports.Out like a light.-----------------------Inside the Lion’s DenAlexander Knight stepped out of his office, jacket draped over his arm, ready to call it a night.That was when he noticed her.Lily.Head buried in paperwork, hair falling into her face, lips parted slightly as she breathed softly in her sleep.For a moment, he simply

Lily Carter sat at her desk, clutching the sleek company-issued planner like it was a ticking time bomb.Today was different. Today wasn’t about coffee runs or surviving Alexander Knight’s death glares. Today was about her first real assignment: managing his schedule for an upcoming investor meeting that could apparently decide the fate of entire empires.At least, that’s how Melissa put it when she dropped the folder onto Lily’s desk with all the grace of a grim reaper.“Good luck, rookie,” Melissa had whispered, sipping her coffee like she was watching a doomed soldier march off to war. “This is where most assistants crash and burn.”No pressure. None at all.Lily flipped open the planner, scanning the endless sea of appointments, calls, and cryptic acronyms that looked like secret codes.Okay, focus. Breathe. You’ve got this.Except… she didn’t.Because thirty minutes later, Lily realized with soul-crushing horror that she had double-booked Alexander Knight.At the same time.Same
Tangled in His Web Chapter 6: The Art of Not Getting Fired
Afternoon: A Crash Course in Financial ReportsLily stared at the thick stack of documents on her desk like it was a pile of ancient scrolls written in a foreign language.Profit margins. Revenue projections. Market analysis.Everything looked like advanced calculus to her.Melissa strolled by, sipping her coffee. She peeked at Lily’s mountain of paperwork and whistled."Wow. Did Mr. Knight finally decide to crush your soul?"Lily groaned and dropped her head onto the desk. "He told me to ‘start learning’ or I won’t last the month."Melissa winced. "Oof. Classic Knight behavior."Lily lifted her head just enough to glare. "A little help here?"Melissa took a dramatic step back. "Oh, no. I like my job. You’re on your own, rookie."Lily glared harder.Melissa sighed. "Fine. I’ll explain the basics, but if Mr. Knight asks, I was never here."Lily clutched Melissa’s arm. "You’re an angel.""Yeah, yeah, let’s see if you still say that after this financial boot camp."Melissa grabbed a pen
Tangled in His Web Chapter 5: Office Gossip
Lily stormed into the office, balancing a coffee cup, a folder, and her tote bag while trying not to trip over her own feet.It was only her second day, but she was already convinced that Alexander Knight’s office was a war zone disguised as a corporate empire.Deep breaths, Lily. You survived Day One. You can survive Day Two.She marched straight to her desk, determined to be the model employee today——only to be ambushed by an entire swarm of employees whispering behind their hands.Lily froze.“…Uh. Morning?” she greeted awkwardly.Silence.A few nervous glances were exchanged. A stifled giggle somewhere in the back.Then, Melissa popped out of nowhere, grabbed Lily’s arm, and dragged her to the side."We have a problem," Melissa whispered dramatically.Lily blinked. "Is it a fire? An earthquake? A zombie attack?""Worse."Melissa’s eyes darted around before she leaned in."Office. Gossip."Lily stared. "…Okay, that’s not worse than a zombie attack.""It is here!" Melissa hissed. "
Tangled in His Web Chapter 4: The CEO’s Fury
Lily raced down the hallway, her heels clacking against the marble floor.Her heart was pounding.Her mind was screaming.I just spilled coffee on Alexander Knight. The Alexander Knight. The man who probably fires people for breathing too loudly.She skidded to a stop near the receptionist’s desk, hands on her knees, panting.Melissa, the receptionist, gave her a pitying look."You’re still alive?" she asked."Barely," Lily wheezed. "But I think my career just died."Melissa winced. "Yeah... spilling coffee on The Devil CEO on your first day? Not great."Lily straightened, determined. "I have to fix this before he actually kills me."Melissa tilted her head. "You mean before he fires you?"Lily swallowed. "Right. That too."Taking a deep breath, she yanked her phone out and started Googling the nearest designer stores.If I get him a new shirt before he has a complete meltdown, maybe—just maybe—he won’t strangle me with his tie.----------------------Back in the OfficeMeanwhile, ins
Tangled in His Web Chapter 3: First Day, First Disaster
Lily Carter stood in front of the elevator doors, clutching a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and her new employee ID in the other.Her heart thumped.She still couldn’t believe she got the job.Alexander Knight actually hired me?To be fair, the man didn’t exactly seem thrilled about it. In fact, his smirk before dismissing her yesterday still gave her goosebumps—not the good kind, but the what-have-I-gotten-myself-into kind.Still, a job was a job, and she needed this one.Squaring her shoulders, she inhaled deeply and stepped inside the elevator. The smooth jazz music did nothing to calm her nerves.Today was the start of her new life—and she was determined to prove Alexander wrong.What’s the worst that could happen?-----------------------The 47th floor of Knight Enterprises was a whole different world.It was nothing like the lower floors, where employees bustled in open cubicles. Up here, the atmosphere was colder, sharper, more powerful.The executive offices were lined wi
