                                           Aubrey  I was making my way to the conference room for a meeting. The advertisement company that I worked for was getting a new client. Who, we do not know? This is what the meeting is. Everyone was rushing to the room, seeming more anxious than usual. Have I missed something?  “Jenna, what is going on? Why is everyone freaking out?” I asked my colleague. “You haven’t heard? This isn’t just any meeting. Mr Hunter is joining,” she said.  Mr Gabe Hunter, the CEO of our company. His family owned many businesses throughout the world, most based here in the US. I work in one of the New

                                       Aubrey My plan to have a night alone failed! When I settled down after my call with Gabe, my friends decided to call and informed me that we were going out tonight. It was the weekend, after all. I was too tired, but they insisted. Now, here I am, getting myself ready for a night of bar hopping and clubbing. I would rather be snuggled up on the sofa with a good book. I could have told them no, but it would not have worked because they would just show up at my door. I love my friends, but they can be a pain in my ass. I know they don’t want me to be boring and alone, but sometimes that is exactly what I want.  I was mostly ready. I had my hair done, letting my naturally wavy

Aubrey  I regretted drinking so much last night because now I have to go to work, and I feel like shit! Why did I let myself get in such a state? I don’t know how I will face Gabe at this video call on Sunday, not after last night. I should not have got as wasted, not in front of him. I was dancing on tables and everything, and then he had to take my drunken ass home. How embarrassing for me. I had my shades on to hide my eyes as I walked into work, an extra-strong coffee in my hand. It was my third coffee thus far, and I took painkillers, so hopefully, the hangover will ease within the next couple of hours. I said hello to everyone, heading straight for my office. “You looked like you had a good night,” Darren said, coming into my office. “I am regretting it now,” I groan, resting my head on the table. “Well, sweetie, you bet

Aubrey  It was Monday morning, and I was heading into work, coffee in hand. I knew I had a busy day ahead of me. I wasn’t dreading it as much as I was on Friday because my time spent with Gabe at the gym has made me relax. We even grabbed a coffee after it. It was strange the two of us getting along. I am not sure how it will be at work, though. I was ignoring how tired I was. That is what happens when I need to get up at five a.m. and only fell asleep about one. Plenty of caffeine, and I will be fine. I headed to my office to drop my things off before heading to the conference room where we were meeting this morning. I grabbed my iPad and phone and headed through. I was the first one there, which surprised me. I thought Gabe or Kay would already have been here. I took a seat, sipping my coffee and waited for the others to arrive. Suddenly the door opens and in walks Gabe. He

Aubrey  My time with Gabe had been going well until now. We were in the middle of a conversation, and he decided he would rather perv on some woman who just walked in. I shouldn’t be surprised. I hate when people do that. I don’t care who he flirts with, who he does anything with, but it pisses me off that he was so damn rude! The woman seemed to be enjoying his attention. I shook my head, going into my purse and setting money down on the table. I grabbed my things, and stood up, and walked out the door without saying a word. I don’t need to sit there and get ignored. I was trying to hail a cab which wasn’t going so good for me. “Aubrey, what the hell?” I hear from behind me. I roll my eyes and refuse to turn around. Gabe didn’t like it. He came up behind me, turning me around to face him. “Can
