Semua Bab LITTLE MISS KATE AND THE MAFIAN CEO: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The fire was so intense it was horrifying. Acrid smoke so thick that Nicholas could not see two inches in front of himself covered everything. It watered his sore stinging eyes and filled his lungs. Nicholas coughed. He inhaled deeply, his body seeking fresh air but instead his nose was filled with the same choking fume and he almost convulsed. "Anna! Anna!" He screamed his sister's name out loud. The building shook terribly and some ceiling boards showered down to the floor burning with sulphur yellow fire. Nicholas crawled towards the door. It seemed the smoke filling the entire room was coming from underneath it. He could feel the biting heat around him intensify. A roar as of a thousand thunders sounded from the other side of the door indicating something had just exploded, and the door was engulfed in flames. He screamed. Nicholas crawled away from the snarling flames and curled himself into a ball at a corner of the room. Fear. Untainted fear. The kind of fear that automatically

Katherine Cooper took extra care in looking her best the next day. She wanted to make a good impression on her first day. The weather was extra chilly so she made sure to wear a coat over her clothes. A taxi passed by, then the bus Katie was to board to her new place of work came hobbling towards the bus stop. Just when it pulled over and opened it's doors, Katherine changed her mind. She decided to walk, after all Cole Corp. was not that far from her home. The bus fare wasn't a significant amount of money, but if she saved that paltry sum everyday it would certainly amount to something substantial and the more she saved, the closer she would come to paying off the accumulated rent for the house. Two years before uncle Jonathan had died, their landlord had increased the rent to a ridiculously outrageous sum. He had used their own sentiment against them, giving them two options- leave immediately, or pay up. Due to the fact that her parents had died so long ago and when she was still

Glancing down, past the window behind her, Katherine watched as a black car pulled into the parking lot. She wasn't surprised when Nicholas Smith stepped out. Another expensive car…another exquisite black suit. She glanced at the home screen on her system. Eleven o clock. He was late. This was the fourth time this week this was happening, and yet nothing had been done to put him in check. The manner in which lateness was frowned on by the company had been strongly emphasized in all the meetings she had attended so far, yet Nicholas Smith came to work whenever he pleased. Sometimes, he even restrained from attending meetings on purpose. And with all that he was being let off the hook without a rain drop's worth of sweat. What irked her the most about it was that no one else seemed to be bothered by the level of special treatment he was getting. As she watched him walk into the building, she wondered why she had never seen him wearing something in another colour. Despite his shity

Katie tugged at the band she'd used to tie her hair up, and let it fall over her shoulders in loose waves. Another exhausting but well fulfilled day at work was finally over. All she would've really wanted was to rent a taxi, rest her aching legs inside, and go home. But that was merely a wish. She had to save up for the rent. She would not make that mistake. Her eyes sparkled as she looked from shop to shop along the sidewalk. This was a sort of balm to soothe her aches. Sightseeing. The air seemed cooler and fresher. The streets of California seemed to come alive at night. Lots of colorful lights hung here and there to attract customers to shops. Beautiful decorations with chromatic beams hung loosely from the poles of street lights. But that wasn't the best part. Window shopping! This was what she enjoyed the most about her long walk home at night. Just as Kate turned a corner, she caught sight of a beautiful corporate outfit on a mannequin from the window of a boutique. She stood

As her alarm clock chimed endlessly on her reading table, Katherine Cooper groaned in frustration. Reaching out her hand to shut up the annoying pest that wouldn't let her sleep, she slammed hard, but met with the table instead. Kate fumbled around, again and again until she eventually knocked it off the table. That wasn't exactly how she was supposed to turn off the alarm but, at least it shut the ticking time-bomb up she thought with a groan. Suddenly, she sat up straight in bed with a gasp. Katherine leaned over the bed to look at the shattered mess that had once been her alarm clock lying helplessly on the floor. Thankfully, it's face was still intact. Seven fifty eight! In about five minutes, she would be late for work! Kate practically tore the sheets off herself and scrambled out of bed. Tripping on her blankets, she tumbled all the way to the bathroom door. But she had set her alarm for five a.m. before she slept last night! That meant her alarm clock had been ringing for th
