I took the elevator to the penthouse. Somehow, Ada seems to have disappeared from the lobby. I leaned my head to the cool wall of the elevator. Suddenly, I remember what transpired downstairs and a smile suddenly made its way to my face. I touched the cheek he kissed and I can swear I felt goosebumps all over my body. The elevator dinged indicating I have arrived on my floor. I stepped out and made my way to the house. I opened the door with my keys and entered."Adeline!!!! Are you here?""In the kitchen." She shouted back while I made my way to the kitchen. As I neared the kitchen, the sweet smell of the lasagna she was making filled the air. I entered to see her bent down placing the lasagna in the oven."What's with the cooking? You ordered Chinese food right before I ate." I said as I took my seat on the stand."Well, you left me here with nothing to do. I had to keep myself busy one way or the other. And for the food I ordered, I already ate all." S

A young girl of about 19 came up to our table after Dixon waved her over and glanced between us in curiosity. Her name tag read 'Megan', she's really pretty with her natural red hair and the freckles scattered all over her nose."Hello, I'm Megan. How can I help you today?" She asked with a pen and note in hand. I gave the menu a quick glance before deciding to go with the simple sausage egg sandwich."Can we get a plate of your Working Man's breakfast? I'll have some pancakes and bacon for myself." I opened my mouth to protest that I couldn't possibly eat that much but my stomach growled reminding me o the fact that I haven't eaten anything since I ate my Raspberry Swirl Loaf which I didn't even get to finish. I bit my lip and lowered my gaze in embarrassment."What would you like to drink, Princess?" Dixon asked, making me raise my head to look at him."I'll have a cappuccino, please." I told the waitress with a small smile. "Thank you."Once the wait

Third Person's POV.He sat down quietly beside the almost lifeless body of the young man. He watched as he took low steady breaths with the help of the tube attached to his nose that supplied oxygen to his lungs. He moved his eyes to the bruises on his arm that seemed to be healing already before redirecting his gaze to his face.He laughed at the helpless situation he's in.

I stood in front of the stove as I cooked some eggs and bacon for Liam, I honestly don't know who eats eggs and bacon in the afternoon but you can never say with Liam. I was dressed in my long sleeve t-shirt dress and my hair was up in a bun. I got home about an hour ago after which Liam came in about 10 minutes later from school with Vicky. They were surprised to see me back at that time cause I was always working long hours at the office. Vicky was fired from her job cause the company went bankrupt, I tried to look for a spot for her at Wright's but she insisted she's okay with looking after Liam and taking care of the house which I didn't mind.I turned the stove off and put the eggs on Liam's plate. I went to the fridge and grabbed the strawberry juice that is especially for Liam and poured it into his cup. I grabbed the food and walked over to the counter where Liam was playing a game on his iPad. I set the food in front of him as he looked up and put the phone away as h

"Do I look okay?" I asked Luke for the tenth time as I came out of my room."You look great, McKenna. It's time for you to go now. We don't want to keep Dixxy waiting." He said. I asked him to accompany me to the company as it's my first day today, he said yes. Vicky was more than happy to look after the house and take care of Liam as I worked. "Dixxy? Seriously? What are you, 12?" I said and groaned. "No matter what you say, I feel like it's still not good enough." I walked into my room to change for what feels like the umpteenth time today. I made my way into the closet, looking for another piece of clothing. Luke came in, grabbed the shirt I was checking out, threw it on the floor, and dragged me out of the closet."Hey, I wanted to check that out. You didn't have to go all Hulk on me." I whined. He grabbed my purse and keys."Well, maybe if you weren't taking forever to get dressed, I wouldn't have to drag you out. The only thing I need you doin

I slowly peered my eyes open as it finally sank in.I kissed my pretend boyfriend, and I initiated it. I bowed my head in shame as I couldn't face him with the stunt I just pulled. I mean, how can I be the one to initiate a kiss when I told him to keep his lips to himself.'Stupid McKenna. You just had to kiss him, didn't you?' I thought to myself, still looking down."Look at me." He said, and I slowly lifted my head to see him leaning closer to me. I could see the dangerous glimmer in his eyes.I swallowed hard, unable to look directly into his grey eyes. I glanced away and was about to run out of the room in shame when he suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder and pulled me up against him, his mouth anchoring on mine.Holy mother of all things created, There are fireworks.The sudden flare of heat and electricity that swept through me startled me into a frozen state where I could hear and see nothing except the sudden

Dixon and Jonathan led me to the 13th floor, where the meetings take place. After a minute or so, the door to the conference room opened, and I was ushered in by Dixon. Everyone stood up concerning the CEO. I noticed how the men do a double-take on me, making me self-conscious. Dixon directed me to a seat on his left-hand side as he sat on the head of the table. He sat down, after which they all settled down. Dixon cleared his throat."Alright, gentlemen, I'd like for us to get started as soon as possible. And in case you haven't noticed yet, we have the CEO of Wright's Enterprises, McKenna Wright, here with us. She'll be here with us for a while." I lifted my head from my tablet and blushed as I saw everyone's focus was on me. I waved shyly, and I could hear a few chuckles around the room, and a few of them smirked."Anyway, tell me about this month's issues or resolutions. As we all know, we're officially planning to open an office in London. We partnered with Wright's

Dixon's POVI looked over to the blond-haired woman with whom I have fallen so deeply in love with, sitting next to me. The same woman I vowed to love until the day I die, even though she knows nothing about my undying love for her.If I was honest, I was surprised when she kissed me at the office in the morning. It is so much more than I had imagined. If I ever doubted my love for her, I am more than sure now that she's the one for me.I do not know how to tell her. I do not know how to tell her that her brother might not make it out of surgery. I watched as relief flooded her muscles when I lied to her and told her that her brother would be out of surgery soon.I hate the fact that I lied to her or that I couldn't tell her what's going on;20 Minutes Earlier."Go sit, sweetheart." I said to her after noticing how stressed and tired she was. I knew just how worried and scared she is for her brother."Who are

McKenna's POV."Are you fucking kidding me?" I heard Luke yell, and I jumped away from Dixon as fast as I could. Luke looked back and forth between us before finally settling his eyes on Dixon."I get that you guys are dating and whatnot, but can you not eat my niece's face off during working hours?" He said, taking his seat in front of Dixon's desk."I'm sorry, I can't promise anything. It's not my fault I find the lady alluring." He winked before walking to his seat. He unbuttoned his jacket before taking his place in front of Luke."Can you guys not do that with me here?" Luke groaned. I'm surprised at how well he's taking everything. When he and Ian found out I was dating Jason, they practically roasted the guy alive."Why are you here, Luke? Are you stalking me again?" I said as I crossed my arm across my chest."I'm not stalking you. I just came to see my friend." He shrugged. I looked between both of them suspiciously."What ar

McKenna's POV.What do I do? I wanted to call Luke and tell him about the note, but I know he's mad at me at the moment.I need to clear my head a bit, I thought to myself. I picked up my phone and called Adeline. She always knows what to do. She picked up on the second ring."Hey, girl. How are you doing?" She said after she picked up the phone."I'm good. Do you think we can maybe meet up for lunch? I have something to discuss with you." "Of course, that shouldn't be a problem. Where should we meet?" She asked. I could hear the shuffles in the background. I know how busy she can be, but she'll never say no when I need her."I'll come to you, and we can go somewhere close to the office.""That's fine too. I'll see you soon?""Definitely," I said and hung up. I stared at the note continuously for a long time. I looked up to see it is almost lunchtime. I still have to drive 30 minutes to get to Wright's Enterprises. I step
