LOGINWith every ounce of professionalism I possessed, I began, silently pleading that I could get through this without flopping."Good morning, everyone..." I barely recognized my voice."The vision of this year's Investor conferences and annual gala is to create an experience that's intimate despite its scale..." my voice steading with each word I spoke, gradually gaining my confidence pushing every other thoughts to the back of my mind.No one spoke for a moment after I finished my introduction. The first slide was still projected behind me.Damian glanced down at the proposal, his expression remained unreadable."Continue" his voice was calm, detached."Of course" I swallowed nervously and clicked the next slide."Our vision centers around creating an experience that feels luxurious without becoming..." my nerves were slowly fading, I was finding my rhythm. This was work and work came easily."Our guest will arrive through a candle lit entrance rather than a traditional red carpet. It c
I wake before my alarm goes off, laying in my bed staring at the ceiling of my apartment. For some reason I couldn't explain my stomach felt tight. It was just another client meeting, I have presented to executives before, pitched million dollars events, this shouldn't be any different.I shake away all thoughts as I get up from my bed. Today matters a lot and I don't need nerves getting the better part of me.I arrive by eight-thirty at Voss Global Holdings and get into the elevator. The elevator door opens onto the executive floor of Voss Global Holdings.The space was understated rather than flashy, Italian marble, warm walnut panels, abstract art, and floor to ceiling windows framing Manhattan.Every detail was amazing, intentional. I walk up to a front desk officer."Hi, Good morning, I'm Miss Adams from Deluxa celebration company." she greets me with a warm smile and points me towards the executive room.I thank her and head toward the executive boardroom, clutching my presentat
It's been two days, two days of constant meetings with Sebastian, I've been on top of everything hoping to God that everything goes according to plan."I think white orchids are too traditional." Sebastian sat comfortably in the video conference from what looked suspiciously like the balcony of a luxury penthouse overlooking Manhattan.I've decided that Sebastian Laurentis is impossible to work with."Weren't you in Boston yesterday?" I couldn't help but ask. I slap my hands across my mouth because this was a conference meeting."I was." he replies flatly like it was so normal, smiling with his eyes.Katherine's voice rings through the conference speaker, "Mr Laurentis has Mr Voss reviewed the updated proposal.""He has, every page."Did he review it himself, I think to myself."And." Katherine continues."Well, he made a few comments." a smile tugged at his lips, he looks at his notepad."Lighting should encourage conversations rather photographs."I nod my head concurring to it.He
"You're thinking too hard." he offered."No, I'm working." I say little forcefully.He moves his head to the side, studying me intently."You know normal clients actually attend their own meetings." I say unable to keep my mouth shut any longer. But this only made him grin widely."Normal billionaires, yes." he remarks."Billionaires."He flashes me a charming smile."Sebastian"Cassie." he looks like his in good spirits."Anyways let's have lunch and discuss further, all these are boring, am I right?"I shake my head and chuckle, "You are impossible." I mutter."No, bella," he smiled "Impossible is my friend, Damian Voss.""Mr Voss is your friend." the name Damian seemed to make my heart skip beat."Mhm" he keeps smiling and giving me that 'I know something you don't know' look."You've spoken about him before, what's he like?" I ask without giving it a second thought.He seems all too glad to answer this, "He's very annoying.""But you seem fond of him." I pry."I tolerate him." he
"What, that's ridiculous, why would you think that?"She gives me a pointed look"What!" I half yell."For quite a long while now he's been looking at you so lovingly. I don't really know how you can be slow to these things sometimes." she says exasperated."That's not true, we are all friends besides you know how he was initially, if anything I feel like he felt obligated to help us or maybe he just pitied me." I'm not really bothered about this anymore."That may have been true at the initial stage but I know love when I see it." she's smiling widely looking pleased with herself."Well then, how about taking a closer look at Seth." I laugh at her expression when I mentioned Seth.I don't really know how to feel about what Eva said, maybe she was wrong. Matt and I just met this evening and he didn't say anything unusual or act out of character. Eva had to be wrong and Seth has always been head over heels for her, the guy was hopelessly into her but she didn't notice or just chose not
We walk towards the entrance of Grand Gulf Astoria Hotel, it stood in the heart of Manhattan, all polished marble and crystal chandelier, this place screamed wealth. The event my company was hired to organize could change everything for us.I still vividly remember Katherine's words when she handed this project to me."Don't mess this up Cassie, Voss Global Holdings is one of the biggest clients we've had in a while. Do this right, and you'll have your own department in less than a year."No pressure, right?I'm flipping through my notes on my ipad now. Sebastian seemed like a chill guy but he still was one of my biggest clients and I need to deliver excellently, Sara is beside observing too. She was too stunned when she saw me walk in with Sebastian but refrained from asking any questions yet.We move through the ballroom while I'm discussing the layouts, the floral concepts, guest flow and lighting."I think the stage should be there.""Okay.""And we'll need to redo the seating ar
Damian's POVI meant it last night when I told her I would take her to Italy or anywhere else she wanted and that really seemed to bother me a lot on multiple levels. Sure I'd taken a few women on some trips in the past but this, somehow was different.I hadn't been to Italy in a very long time but
CassieDamian made everything feel easy, easy enough for me to forget I wasn't supposed to be doing this. This was supposed to be a one time thing but I couldn't seem to just let go. He is too dangerous for me, I doubt I'll be able to recover from this; this was becoming more, I shouldn't want more
Walking into my reservation in the resort of Balearic Islands was really amazing, everything here is splendid. It seems like this was the best time of the year to be here, but how was I supposed to have fun all by myself when I can't even get pass this hurt.I can't help the little stab in my chest
I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard those moans coming from his room. My feet had never felt this heavy before, all I could do was mindlessly drag my body one step at a time, silently praying all this was just a figment of my imagination. Maybe I wasn't seeing clearly from the distance.I had
