Three months had passed, and they were, without a doubt, the worst months of my life. I had left my father’s company, hoping to find a fresh start, a place where I could prove myself on my own terms. But I hadn’t expected this—being turned down by every company I applied to. My résumé was impressive, yet somehow, nobody seemed to be hiring. The rejection emails became a routine, a painful reminder of my new reality.

But last week, everything changed. Yvonne, my best friend and saving grace, had called me with a glimmer of hope. “There’s an opening for a P.A. at TerraLink,” she had said excitedly. It was the break I had been desperately waiting for. Without wasting a second, I drove straight to the TerraLink building, heart pounding with the possibility of finally achieving my dream. My father had always refused to let me work there, insisting on keeping me under his wing. But this was my chance, my one shot at independence.

    VERA“Is it that serious?”I jumped in my seat with a scream, startled by the voice of my best friend standing in front of me. Yvonne laughed and I noticed Katie behind her. I had been too immersed in my work to notice them come in.“What are you guys doing here? How did you even come in?” I asked, looking at Yvonne. Our workplaces were very far from each other, so I knew she couldn’t just visit randomly.“We knocked like five times, but no reply,” Katie smirked teasingly and I rolled my eyes.“We’re here to tell you about our celebration,” Yvonne said as she and Katie took a seat in front of me. I frowned.“Celebration?”“Yes, you’ve been working in this company for three months now,” Yvonne said and I narrowed my eyes at her instantly.“So?”“So we should celebrate your three consecutive months without getting fired,” she said with a wide grin.“Trust me, it’s worth the celebration . You survived Mr. Railway’s death claws,” Katie added and I wanted to laugh.“You guys just want a re

    NEIL“You know, it would be much better if you actually listened to what your advisors say,” Austin remarked as we approached my office.I rolled my eyes, already annoyed that he was still talking.“It would be much better if you took a hint when someone wants you to shut the fuck up,” I shot back.Austin huffed dramatically, crossing his arms. “Rude. I’m just trying to help you become a better man.”I stopped walking and turned to glare at him. “What are you even doing here?” he loved being in places he wasn’t supposed to be.His frown vanished, replaced by a mischievous grin that immediately put me on edge. Before I could step away, he threw an arm around my shoulders, tugging me into his side.“I just wanted to visit my best bud,” he said cheekily.I shoved him off, shaking my head. “Touch me like that again, and you’ll be sporting a black eye.”He cackled like a damn witch.Ignoring him, I pushed the door open—and immediately halted in my tracks.A woman stood in front of my desk,

    VERAI stared at my alarm clock as it rang, wondering if going to work was worth it. Neil would understand if I don’t show up today, right? He’d probably send me an email letting me know I’ve been respectfully sacked.I really need to stop calling him Neil.I groan and drag myself out of bed to go to the bathroom. I took a bath and got dressed in a blue office dress. It hugged my curves in the right ways and it had a nice neckline that wasn’t revealing. I looked professionally sexy.Two hours later, I was seated in my office, trying to convince myself that today wouldn’t go as badly as I feared it would. Neil hadn’t arrived yet, which was unlike him. It was already nine o’clock and I wondered if everything was fine.“It’s probably the traffic,” I said to myself as I began to sort out the spam emails. A lot of companies around the world wanted to partner with his company, but he only selected a few. It was as if most companies didn’t meet his demands. Even my father’s company had sent

    His touch was burning deep into my soul as he caressed my hips. I rocked my pelvis into his, making him groan and break the kiss to look at me.“You,” he breathed out like he was trying to catch his breath. His lips were flushed, slightly swollen from our kiss, and that sent a thrill through me.“We need to stop,” he said under his breath, more like to himself. But I couldn’t help the disappointment I felt at those words. I was about to pull away when he suddenly grabbed the back of my neck and before I could register anything, I was pinned to the rock behind us.“Ne—”“Fuck it,” he growled and kissed my neck, harshly sucking on a spot that made me moan loudly. He groaned and I gasped when I felt his fingers dig into my thighs. If we weren’t waist deep into the water, I’d be completely undone by now.“You have no idea how much you drive me crazy,” he said as he pulled away to look at me. Desire was burning in his green eyes making me shiver under his gaze. It felt like nothing else ma

    NEILShe looked at my hand for a moment, as though debating whether or not to take it. Her hesitation made me wonder what exactly she was afraid of, but eventually, her small hand slipped into mine. Her touch was soft yet firm, and it sent an unexpected jolt through me.I pulled her up effortlessly, and she stumbled slightly, letting out a soft laugh. “You really have no patience, do you?”“Not when you ask for tequila before swimming,” I replied with a smirk. “But I’ll get you that shot. A promise is a promise.”Her lips curled Into a teasing smile as she brushed a strand of hair out of her face. “Good. I’ll hold you to that.”We walked toward the beach bar in silence, the warm sand shifting under our feet. I was acutely aware of how close she was, her arm brushing mine every so often. The air between us felt charged, though I couldn’t tell if she felt it too or if it was just me losing my damn mind.When we reached the bar, the bartender greeted us with a bright smile. “What can I g

    NEILHolding three coconuts in my hands, I made my way to were Austin and I say while waiting for Veronica. I got thirsty and needed something to water down my sour mood, so I decided to get us something to drink.Even from behind, I could recognize Vera as she laughed at what Austin was saying.I was pretty sure what he said was a stupid joke.As much as I didn’t want to, I couldn’t help but drink in her features from behind. Was she planning to seduce me?If she was, it was working but I wasn’t going to admit it out loud.I approached them and Vera’s laughter died in her throat when she saw me. I saw her eyes widen a little as she took in my bare torso. Desire flashed through her pupils and I had to stop myself from smirking. I had that effect on women, it’s a nice quirk if anyone asks me.“Hey, man. Thanks,” Austin grinned as I handed him his coconut drink. I shrugged and handed Vera hers before taking a sit on my own lounger beside her.“Thank you,” she said to me, even though it
