"Time is up, Miss Coleman. Bring the audited files into my office immediately."

Mr. Gibson's voice barked the moment I answered the intercom.

The coldness in it was jarring, and so different from the warmth I remembered from the night before.

"Yes, s—"

He cut the line.

I stared at the console in disbelief, a bitter scowl twisting my lips.

What an arrogant prick!

I had been hunched over my monitors for almost five straight hours, and my body felt numb with exhaustion. My stomach ached wi

  • Twisted Rivalry    Chapter 12: Very Soon

    Daniela"Miss Coleman."(...)"Miss Coleman."(...)"MISS COLEMAN!"I snapped back from my daydream, my face heating up instantly as I met the freezing, furious glare of my boss sitting in the swivel chair."Y-Yes, sir? I'm sorry," I stammered."I would greatly appreciate it if your attention remained inside this corporate building, Miss Coleman, instead of wherever it currently is wandering."What an unmitigated jerk, I thought.He was looking directly at me, his icy blue gaze locked squarely onto my face. His eyes didn't drop a single millimeter to look at the massive, gleaming red ruby dangling right in front of his face—the one I had purposely worn to work as Skylar suggested. Yet he didn't show a single hint of recognition, amusement, or guilt. He just looked thoroughly annoyed by my lack of focus.Was he seriously going to pretend he hadn't sent a luxury stalker parcel to my apartment last night?"I apologize, Mr. Gibson," I said, forcing my voice icy and professional. "It won't

    DanielaI frowned, checking the clock on the wall. It was nearly 8:00 PM. Skylar had explicitly said she would be home late, so it couldn't be her.I walked over to the entryway and opened the door to find a delivery man standing under the hallway light. He handed me a sleek, expensive-looking parcel wrapped in thick, matte-black paper.I checked the package, searching for a name, but my brow furrowed. "There's no recipient name on this. Only the apartment address.""I didn't order anything," I told him, trying to hand it back."This is the exact address provided for the delivery, ma'am," he confirmed simply and left.I locked the door and looked at the parcel suspiciously. It looked incredibly high-end and heavy. Since I didn't recognize it and Skylar wasn't home, I left the parcel unopened on the counter and went to bed....The shrill blare of my alarm sliced through the quiet bedroom at exactly 6:07 AM. I groaned, reaching blindly for the nightstand to kill the noise.I sat up, ru

    Daniela"Excuse us, Miss Coleman," Kenneth Gibson said, his voice cold.I stood paralyzed by the edge of the mahogany desk, still processing the news that he has a fiancée. Like what the heck?! When? And How?Suddenly a sharp venomous voice brought me back from my thoughts.It was Sophie."Are you deaf?" She snapped, her tone arrogant. "He told you to leave."I hated it when people disrespected me, especially taking it from my own gender.Before my brain processed my words I said, "I hear perfectly fine, ma'am. But as Mr. Gibson's executive assistant, I take my directives from him, not his visitors."Sophie's eyes widened as she whirled around to face Kenneth, her face flushing with absolute fury. "Kenneth! Are you seriously going to let that 'nobody' speak to me like that? Fire her. Right now!"Shit! I should have controlled my mouth.Aunt Stella's face flashed vividly in my mind. I couldn't lose this job."Mr. Gibson, I apologize," I blurted out quickly, stepping forward to explain

    The next day, work was hectic. From the moment I stepped onto the executive floor, the pace was relentless. Kenneth Gibson's schedule was a tightly packed minefield of consecutive investor calls, urgent international documents, and back-to-back briefings. I spent the entire morning moving on pure adrenaline, logging tasks and handling data files without a single moment to catch my breath. By midday, my body finally went on strike. My stomach let out an empty, demanding growl, reminding me that I was completely starving.Desperate for a break, I left my desk and navigated the corporate hallways until I finally located the company cafeteria.The space was enormous, designed more like a high-end restaurant than a standard office lunchroom. Flooded with natural light from massive windows, it hummed with the noise of hundreds of employees eating and moving between food stations. I grabbed a hot meal, found a small, empty table near the corner, and sat down.The first spoonful of food was p

My stomach ached with hunger. Because of his impossible deadline, I hadn't even been able to step away for lunch. Meanwhile, he had sailed out hours ago for a lavish lunch, completely indifferent.I gathered the heavy 200-page archive against my chest and stood, my knees trembling. As I walked toward his office, my mind drifted back to the dark penthouse bedroom.Did my reckless one-night stand truly not remember me? He'd had his hands wrapped around my jaw, his cock buried inside mine just hours ago. Had he forgo

  • Twisted Rivalry    Chapter 7: Pure Black Coffee

    Kenneth "It was not included in your portfolio, Miss Coleman, that you were a mute. Why the hell are you not speaking?" My voice was flat, cutting through the silence of the room like a blade. I didn't care to hide the sudden irritation bleeding into my tone. I kept my eyes locked onto her face, the digital timer ticking away in the upper corner of my active laptop screen. One minute and forty-three seconds. That was exactly how long my new personal assistant had been standing in the center of my office since I raised my head, completely static, gazing at me like a statue. I had deliberately ignored her entrance at first to assert a proper corporate boundary, but this performance was ridiculous. I expected her to stumble through some pathetic, rehearsed excuse about transit, or perhaps blame the ground floor security lines. Instead, she took a shaky step closer to my mahogany desk, her chest heaving underneath her rumpled blazer as she blurted out an entirely unhinged question. "
