DAVE'S POVDue to the constant urging from Nixon, I announced the termination of the 'No Dating' rule on the first day I resumed work as the President. I was surprised to see the number of employees that were happy about the change of rule. Not long after, most of them started coming out with their relationships. It came to my notice that some of them have been planning to resign from the job just to be together but thanks to Nixon who made it possible for them to be together in the company. It wouldn't have happened if he had given up on Lena because of the rules.That same week, the probation test for the designers began and I requested each one of them to design and sew a dress for a dinner party before the end of the week. I also called in some of the company's models to work with them as they would be modeling their dresses in front of the judges.I picked out the judges from the heads of every department in the company, including me and Nixon. I knew there was no way Aria would

DAVE'S POVThroughout the movie, Aria clung to me with her head buried in my chest as she whimpered in fear. Sometimes she would peep at the screen and end up screaming before hiding her face back in my chest. I rubbed her back as I chuckled at her cuteness.The movie ended much to Aria's joy and she wasted no time in bolting out of the theatre room. I followed after her until she stepped out of the Cinema building. "I'm never going through that again." She turned to me with a glare. "I think the movie was interesting especially the part where they found her murderer." I shrugged."Whose murderer?" She folded her arms as she raised her eyebrows."Oh, sorry."I just remembered she was too busy screaming into my chest to pay attention to the movie. "There's no way I'm getting any sleep tonight." She sighed."How about I make it up to you?" I offered. "How? By taking me to a haunted house?" She cocked an eyebrow."That's a nice idea too, why didn't I think of that?" I asked with a smi

ARIA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up to a cold space beside me and I checked the time to see that it was six in the morning. I moved to climb from the bed which earned me a sharp pain between my legs, reminding me of the event that occurred the last night.I took in a deep breath as I waited for the pain to suppress before I slowly climbed down from the bed. I checked the bathroom to see if Dave was there but he wasn't, then I went to the living room but he was nowhere to be found. All traces of him being in my house last night was gone. 'Why did he leave without letting me know?' I asked myself. 'Maybe something urgent came up and he didn't want to disturb me,' I answered the question, providing an excuse for him.Making my way back to my room, I picked up my phone from the bed and dialed his phone number. The phone rang for a while but he didn't pick up. I tried again and again but still no response. I assumed he might be busy with something else and unable to answer my call at t

NIXON'S POVThe ray of the beautiful morning sun hit my face as I stepped out of my Lamborghini, making my way into the Styles building."Good morning, Mr. Garret," the staff on the first floor greeted me as I made my way toward the elevator.From a distance, I spotted Aria going into the elevator with Lena beside her. A sigh escaped my lips when I recalled what happened between her and Dave. A sense of guilt washed through me because I had a hint about what Dave was planning all along.But then, it wasn't my business. Aria was mature enough to make certain decisions for herself, I shouldn't hold myself responsible for something that was out of my control. It was all on her that she fell for Dave's Playboy charms and ended up getting hurt.Don't get me wrong, I wasn't in support of Dave's action. Playing girls was something I was never fond of, and I'd tried to talk to Dave to change his ways but he wasn't ready to listen to me. I knew he would come to his senses when he meets someone

ARIA'S POVAfter begging Lena to let the matter go, she still went ahead and confronted Nixon about it. I couldn't get mad at her because I knew she was trying to fight for me but It didn't sit well with me that they were not on talking terms because of me, and if proper care was not taken, it might be the end of the relationship they haven't even started.Hearing what Nixon when she confronted him, made me realize how stupid I was to have fallen for Dave's trap like that. If only I had a bit more common sense and self-control, I wouldn't have gotten hurt.Regretting my decision every day wouldn't turn back the time and undo what happened, so I decided to let it go and keep it as a lesson for another day. A lesson not to fall for a handsome billionaire with beautiful eyes that can hypnotize you. Above everything, it comforted me a bit that I didn't get to see him anymore, thanks to him. Seeing him every day would have only aided in me remembering how much he hurt me and kept the pain
