Becca. Having been busy all day with the latest design for the company’s ongoing project, it had taken me two hours before I noticed that the twins' lunch box was at the corner of my office, untouched. Which means, because I was busy, they had also forgotten to have lunch. Probably too busy disturbing the tech guys, I thought with frustrating amusement as I closed my laptop to go in search of them. But even as I walked to the Tech department, something told me the twins were not there. It was just too quiet if truly those two were around. Feeling tense for no reason I could explain, I knocked on Daniel’s door. He is their favourite person in the office, so if anyone would know their whereabouts, he’s the one. “Hello Becca!” Daniel greeted me in surprise, probably wondering what I was doing there when I usually preferred making use of my PA or the phone for my needs. “Hi Dan! I’m here for the twins.” I said softly, even though it was obvious they were not in his office. “The twi

Becca.Standing behind me with the twins was the man himself. Standing tall and attentive with his hands deeply enclosed in his pants pocket, it was as if he had the intention of following me out of the room.“Hmm—ah, thanks for your time sir and I am sorry for the disturbance. The twins will not come to this side of the office again.” I concluded quietly before turning the knob and the man nodded.“Okay!” That was all he said but he did not stop, he kept following us through his private lobby to the second door that will lead to the main lobby and his world of secretaries.He must have said something because the twins chuckled and after a minute, knowing that we would soon be outside in front of everyone, I could not take the suspense again. I stopped abruptly and I felt the force as they equally stopped, with the annoying man almost barging into my back.“Oops, I am sorry, Miss Summer, but it was your fault you know.” The man breathed somewhere behind my neck and I felt the tingle a

Christos.Why the hell did I do that? Invite her for a dinner date? I thought I was supposed to be avoiding the fire brand witch with her tempting eyes and nice butts? So what just happened?“You got crazy in the head, I think.” My wolf chuckled and I snarled in return.More like I got pissed off.Who does she think she is? Coming in here and acting all snuffy and cool? At one point, I had to wonder who the boss was.It is a fact that I have always disliked bossy ass ladies with imprudent traits, especially the ones with soulful eyes that can eat deep into your souls.“Nonsense! You might dislike others, but it is obvious we have a thing or two for this one.” Lightning, my talkative wolf, snorted again and I almost slapped his face. The thought that I would also be hurting myself was the only thing that kept me from violence.“We have a thing for her? Who are the ‘we’?” I asked loudly in a deceptive voice.“I and you, my dear Christos. We like her even if you don’t approve of her att

Becca.Cindy wasn’t impressed by my words. She snorted.“Well, tough luck, my dear. It is unfortunate you don’t have a choice in this case and unless you want your boss to be looking like a fool when he gets here to pick you up, I will advise you to get up right now and make a quick run for it. Maybe, just maybe you can be ready before he gets here.” Walking towards me as she talked, she finished with a bossy glint in her saucy eyes and I blinked.About to deny caring about my boss’s feelings, a picture of the man came to my eyes and I paused with a little frown on my face.Of course, the last thing my boss will appreciate is a woman making a fool of him. In front of an audience especially. No, he definitely will not take this kindly. Which begs the question…‘Do I really want to provoke the man into doing his worse? Am I ready for the repercussions?’ I know I can easily get another job elsewhere even if he fires me but do I want that on my record?’And I know the answer. I can’t ris

Becca.Well, it does not happen that way. The time ticks so slow like a snail, and it does not seem this man is bored of my company yet.As a matter of fact, anyone would be deceived to think he’s enjoying my company. He had not left my side all evening, except only at the barest minimum and that was to have a small talk with the host and some few important others.It was apparent many considered him to be the most influential in the room, yet you would not know it judging by the unaware manner he treated them.Indifferent! That’s the word that comes to mind in describing the man at the moment. He is totally indifferent to the men worshipping him from afar and all the beautiful, well dressed people in the room. Especially the overdressed, simpering ladies who kept doing their level best to catch his attention.Some even threw me a malicious glance once awhile, as if it was because of me the man was ignoring them.Amused, I had tried walking around the room alone, with a telling glance
