2 months laterMarieGetting up today I decide to take a shower. Today's a Friday so no work for two whole days! Thank you God! After getting ready I head to my car. I'm not hungry at all today so no breakfast, I'll probably stop at Starbucks and maybe get something to eat.I reach my office to see Karter already in his. He's here early? I knock on his door and walk inside after hearing a "come in"."Good Morning" I say, Harry looks up and smiles at me."Hello Marie" he says."Coffee." I say placing it on his desk."Thank you""You're here early today?" I ask."Just some important work that had to be done" he says and I simply nod.Over the past three months, Karter and I have gotten pretty close. I mean he's nice and polite and we get along perfectly."Marie, could you take a seat? I want to talk to you about something important" he says.I furrow my brows in confusion and

MarieTomorrow is Friday and I have a day off! Yay! Well technically the only reason Karter gave me a day off was because we have to work on Saturday. But only half day so I guess it does count right?I was binge watching tv shows on Netflix when my phone rang. It was 7:00 pm, who could it be? The caller ID was unknown. I wonder who is calling me.I press answer and speak, "Hello?""Is this Marie?" That voice seems awfully familiar."Liam?" I ask."The one and only!" He chuckles on the other end causing me

KarterAlmost immediately after snapping at Marie, I regretted it. But me being the dick I am, I didn't bother apologizing.The entire long car ride to the restaurant was silent. It was very obvious that Marie was mad at me, I don't blame her. It's just that I get very touchy when people ask me questions about my family life. She told me about her family and everything, why couldn't I have simply told her that I had a daughter? I didn't have to give her all the details just tell her about Millie.I'll be honest, I was going to tell her one day. I was, I really was and it sucks that she found out this way. I really should apologize to her.I

MarieI wake a up with a strange pit in my stomach. Yesterday was weird, hell the entire weekend was weird. The kiss was mind blowing, I won't lie and I honestly thought Karter would pretend like it never happened and that thought made me kind of sad. But the fact he wanted to talk about it and us made me so nervous that I was hoping to ignore him forever.As discussed tonight Karter will be coming over to my place to discuss whether we're "compatible" or not. Couldn't have I liked a more normal guy who would just take me on a date? God forbid someone dare call this a date because Karter doesn't date and at this point he hasn't decided what he wants to happen between us. I'll be honest, I'm not much bothered or hurt by this. This is a very complicated situation. Not only is he my boss, he doesn't date or socialize with people beside his inner circle, he's a complicated-bipolar billionaire too and not to mention he has a 6 year old daughter and I know n

MarieI quickly grab my cellphone and my car keys and head out the door. Today was a Saturday and I had lunch plans with Nina and Josh. They invited me to their place. I was already running late as I overslept but it's fine, she's my best friend she'll understand. I mean after all she knows me better then I know myself.After a few minutes my phone started ringing interrupting the song that was playing. I look at my car screen to see it was my mom calling. I press answer and speak, "Hey Mom""Hi sweetie. How are you?""I'm good mom. How are you and Brian and Grace?""They're all good. We all miss you"I smile, "I miss you guys too.""So, I had a long conversation with Nina the other day. You know catching up and all" My mom says.I furrow my brows in confusion, "That's nice""I don't want you to think of me as a nosey mother but I worry about you Marie and you don't tell me everything so I obviously went
