Zoe’s POVI waited for Helios to come out and busied myself with scrolling his phone. I have never used one of these for the time being, so I need to get familiar with its features, and it’s not that hard to memorize or use it.Minutes passed, and he was not still coming out. I heard a growl in my stomach. Then suddenly I remembered that he had ordered food. Guess I need to wait for the delivery. While waiting for more minutes, I saw a person carrying a red square box, and he was heading in my direction. However, two guards stopped him and instructed him that he couldn’t go any further.I stood up and walked towards them and smiled at the guard who turned to see me. “Excuse me, is this the food for Helios Lincoln?” I asked the guy, and he nodded.“I’ll get it,” I stated.He then put down the big red box and grabbed the bag of food tubs inside. The guard on my left reached for it, making me arch my brow.“Hand it over to me—”“I’ll help you out, Mrs. Lincoln,” he said, making my eyes

Zoe’s POVHelios struggled to open the door because of my height and without him breaking the kiss. I don’t want to cut this intense feeling that is growing between us, so I just let him do what he pleased at the moment. And when we got inside, he walked us towards his desk and let me sit.His roamed around my shoulder down, on its way to my back, until it reached the side of my bum.A moan slipped out of my mouth when his lips moved down to my neck. I closed my eyes and held onto his shoulder as his kisses moved down. He was about to pull the tucked-in of my blouse when we both heard a knock on the door.I gasped in horror and pushed him away, making him glare at me.What? I mouthed and pointed to the door.“Fuck,” I heard him curse before he fixed his hair so as his suit. I saw the frustration on his face making me smile and bit my lower lip. Wrong timing.Whoever that person is, I’m sure, he or will receive Helios’s wrath.Sorry, not sorry then. An incident like this can’t be av

Zoe’s POVHelios remained silent for a moment, making me heave a deep sigh.“Helios, you must understand me. You can’t just get what you want or make things happen the way you want. By looking at her, Chloe is a sweet girl. Please, don’t drag me—”“You’re already part of my life, Zoe. And Chloe has nothing to do between us.”“Your father is against my closeness to you—he may not tell it directly, but I can feel it.”Typical elite parents who dislike lowly people. “He can’t control my life. I can make my own decision. So, please, I don’t want you to overthink—”“I am getting your father’s approval too.”“Then you’re saying you don’t want to marry me?”I pressed my lips and shook my head. “I like you—”“Then let’s get married….” I was about to open my mouth when he continued, “—privately.”My eyes widened, and it seemed like my ears were bombarded with a booming sound that made me deaf. My thoughts took me away from him, and I couldn’t think straight. Why does he need to rush things?

ZOE reminded herself one fine morning not to be affected by Helios’ cold demeanor toward her.‘It’s for the better, Zoe,’ she thinks to herself as she enters the building.She made the decision to get up early and get to work before seven a.m. And, much to her surprise, the guards informed her that Helios had already entered his office.Helios had begun to treat her coldly since the accident. And here she is, standing in front of his office door, thinking if she will get in or not.She had already printed her resignation letter the day before. But she wasn’t sure if she would give it to him. Finally, she conceals it in the drawer of her table.At the time, she was holding a stack of documents that needed to be signed by Helios, and as her secretary, Zoe couldn’t avoid the fact that he would see him every day. It’ll be fine if she’s in the other department. But sadly, she’s just outside his office.She took a deep breath and sighed before knocking on the door. She twisted the doorknob

SOON as Zoe arrived in front of their apartment. She frowned when she saw men in suits.‘What are they doing here?’ she thought.She was confused, and suddenly she felt her heart thump fast as she had a terrible hunch about it. She walked towards the door, and her eyes widened when she saw Helios’s father sitting on their old couch while her mother sat across from him.“Mom…” she mumbled and drew the old man’s attention.She saw how a smirk formed on Don Lincoln’s lips. “It was nice to see you, Zoe Levine,” he said, wearing his cold and stern voice. If Helios is scary, his father is more terrifying. As she can at least talk back to Helios but to the old man in front of her, she feels intimidated, and with one wrong word, she thinks she’ll be doomed.“Sit down, Zoe and let us talk,” he said, making Zoe follow like a robot and sit beside her mother.“What do you really want, Don Lincoln?” It was her mother.The old man leaned backward as he rested his arms on the armrest of the old couc
