"You lost what?" he growled, his voice was filled with rage. "Do you have any idea how important those documents are? The accounting audit and the meeting with ABC group are crucial for our new partnership! How could you be so careless?"Alexa's fear increased as she cowered under George's intimidating presence. Her voice quivered as she tried to explain herself. "I... I didn't mean to. I promise, It was an honest mistake. I'll do everything I can to find them, Mr. George. I'm truly sorry."George scoffed, his eyes burning with anger and disgust. "Honest mistake? Do you think your apologies and empty promises can undo the damage you've caused? This isn't some game, George. The success of this partnership rests on those documents, and your incompetence and lack of seriousness has put everything at risk."Tears welled up in Alexa's eyes, her body trembling with fear and shame. She felt small and insignificant before George's merciless gaze. "Please, Mr. George, give me another chance. I

Ariana's phone buzzed in her pocket which was indicating a new message. She pulled it out and saw a text from her best friend, Laila and It read: "Hey, heard about the DE group! That's amazing news! Let me know if you need any help celebrating. I can babysit Lily tonight if you want." Ariana smiled as she recalled how she had heard the news about DE group wanting to invest in her company.She had been sitting in her office, trying to concentrate on her boring paperwork, when all of a sudden, the door had flown open and in-barged her second assistant, Sam. He had-had this wild look in his eyes, like he just won the lottery or something. His hands had been flapping around like he was trying to fly or do some weird dance moves."Party time, Ariana! We gotta throw a bash!" Sam shouted, his excitement was literally oozing out of him. He was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement.Ariana rolled her eyes, she had not been in the mood for Sam's usual shenanigans, she had thought

George sat in the lavishly decorated lobby of the restaurant, surrounded by the murmurs of diners, the clinking of glasses and the faint sounds of laughter. His eyes appeared to be focused on the glass of wine he held in-between his index and middle finger but in reality he secretly scanned the crowd. His eyes darting from one table to the other. He was dressed in a white shirt that was only buttoned up halfway and it revealed his chiseled chest that left the ladies around drooling and day dreaming. He wore black pants that went well with his black shoes. From his dressing, one would know that he meant business. George exuded an air of confidence as he sat in the lavish restaurant lobby, well aware of the attention he was receiving from the ladies around him. His chiseled chest and impeccable fashion sense seemed to have cast a spell over the onlookers and it left them in awe and admiration. He noticed a certain group of ladies seated a little bit far from him. They were constantly

Ariana's heart was pounding as she made her way out of the restaurant. The encounter with George had been far more intense than she had anticipated. As she stepped out into the cool night air, she took a deep breath, trying to steady herself."What was that?" she muttered to herself, trying to shake off the confusing mix of emotions that had engulfed her during the meeting. The unresolved tension between her and George from their past encounter seemed to have only grown stronger.As she walked down the dimly lit streets, her mind replayed the conversation over and over again. She could not help but feel a mixture of anger, frustration, and a strange attraction towards George. His commanding presence and unwavering confidence had always been intimidating, but this time, she found herself drawn to it, despite her better judgment."I can't let this distract me," she reminded herself sternly. "The success of this project is what matters most right now."But as she arrived back at the offi

Ariana's heart raced as she rushed to get ready for a meeting with her comprehensive presentation in her bag. She determined to show her leadership in the joint project with George. She had spent countless hours perfecting every slide, every detail, convinced it would leave a lasting impression on him. But the morning had been cruel to her, Her alarm failed to go off due to a power outage during the night, leaving her to wake up much later than planned. Now she was already 15 minutes late and she did not like being late. She quickly tied her hair up in a messy bun, quickly took off her night wear and threw them on the floor. She would pick it up, put it in the washing machine and arrange her room whenever she was back from work. Right now, the only thought on her mind was to quickly get ready for work. She quickly ran into the bathroom, washed her mouth and took her bath so fast. When she got out of the shower, she dried her body and was about applying some lotions on her body when
