All Chapters of Winter Bear; Stay With Me.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“I’ve lost my job”Devastation was an understatement as Bloom stood over the threshold with a damp aura about her. She fisted her hands to her sides as her little frame began trembling. She hated how horrible she felt but she knew there was nothing she could do to change what had already happened.Mr Griffo wouldn’t bother to listen to her complaint either so she knew it was better she woke up to this fact and chugged it down.“Bloom?” A man stood up from where he was seated, by the fireplace and carefully approached the despondent woman. His brows creased when he got a clearer look to her face and he sighed, placing his large hands onto her shoulders.“Hey now…don’t put on such a look” His voice came out soft and caressing that even the stubborn woman had to dissolve under with a groan. He smiled when he saw her giving in and moved his hands to hold hers to guide her in.“I…I’m so…so sorry” Her voice croaked out despite her efforts to come out clean. But he man understood better and o

“Your resume?”His hard lips parted once more to ask and as if she was just freed from a grave curse, Bloom fumbled to present and open her folder friskily. She was beginning to fidget and it wasn’t a good sign. Bloom was soon a mess as her shaky fingers let the documents in the folder slip and fell from her grip. She gasped and the CEO only signed, relaxing back in his seat to watch her make more fun of herself.‘Why is this happening?’ She was at the brink of tears at this moment as she gathered her documents together. But something startled her after she picked up a document that was lying on her foot. This made her scream in a loud voice, jerking to her feet but…she bumped the back of her head beneath the protruded edge of the table and winced greatly.“Ow…”Bloom lost her balance, knees slamming back against the floor. With eyes shut and a hand massaging the hurting area, Bloom threw her free arm over the table to find a hold to lift herself up but…she accidentally let her arm swi

Bloom shivered, hiding behind the ravenette man and looking so afraid to be there. She wanted to opt out but he coaxed her to stay. If she had known he was bringing her here, she would have rather gone back home and finished the tubs of ice-cream she planned to buy.“B-but J-Juliano…w-why a b-bar?”She mumbled from behind him, a trembling hand over his shoulder and gripping tight as her meek eyes surveyed the place back and forth. She gulped down saliva and shivered again. Juliano was starting to feel a ping bad at what he placed her into.“It’s just a drink to celebrate your accomplishment and we’ll stop by an eatery and grab something nice okay?” He tried to sound convincing enough as he sent her a solicitous smile. Bloom reluctantly nodded and crept out of her hiding.Juliano smiled and watched her lace her arm in his, gluing to his side like if she distanced from him even in the slightest, she’d be snatched away. Her meek actions made him smile lovingly down at her and he held her

Bloom tried to sink herself into her work instead. It wasn’t the first time she worked as a cleaner like this. She had done three jobs of the same nature in the past so she knew how to get around just fine. She was even busy humming to a song she had memorized as she cleaned over the boss’s desk.She became oblivious to her surrounding and didn’t even notice the intimidating presence watching her. When she picked up the mopping bucket, she absentmindedly moved forward but bumped into something hard.“Ow” She rubbed the side of her face and looked up.She looked like she had just seen a ghost as she froze. Her face dimmed and she swallowed in fear. The boss was here, right in front of her and staring her down. She was trapped, lost in the swirling abyss of his dark hypnotizing orbs.“You can leave now since you’re done. Sharon get me my coffee”.He walked past her to his desk and Bloom watched him, still in her trance. He looked so perfect in his black Armani suit, his midnight-black ha

The befuddled and still surprised CEO watched the van accelerate away. What was this woman? All he knew about her and all he now knew about her were contradicting each other. She was a strange one and never had he found himself incapable of understanding the people he came across. So why? Why was she so different and yet so air headed? The lines on his forehead only deepened the more.Hayes shrugged his shoulders and walked back into the building. The file in his hand crumpled in his grip. ‘Now she’s in my mind as well’ He was pissed and very irritated. What was this condemnation brewing inside of him? He actually wanted to give her this…he stared down at the file in his hand.‘What is wrong with you Hayes warren?’ His behavior baffled him. This was unlike the ice king to bother about a mere employee to this extent. No, he wasn’t bothered about her. She was the one drawing his attention to her disarmingly. This thought vexed him and he stomped off. He needed a drink to flush her out of
