George sat in his luxurious office, surrounded by polished glamorous furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows that offered breathtaking views of the city skyline. Surrounded by the richness that came with being the CEO of a successful company. The room exudes sophistication, adorned with tasteful art pieces,The soft glow of warm light fixtures and the scent of fresh flowers filled the air. This was the space where he made important decisions, signed deals, and held meetings with his top executives. But today, all he could think about was Ariana.As he glanced at the impressive skyline, his mind wandered back to the encounter with Ariana at the joint project meeting. Her strong presence had left an indelible mark on him, and he couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her than met the eye. He found himself mesmerized by her high-charge feminine eyes, her commanding aura, and the way she carried herself with confidence, her intense gaze that seemed to pierce through his defenses,

The crucial meeting with the potential client was in full swing. Ariana's impeccable interpersonal skills were on display, and she effortlessly built bond with the clients, making a positive impression. Ariana's charismatic and warm approach had impressed the client. Her good nature skills were shining brightly, creating a positive impression. Her confidence and grace put them at ease, and it seemed like they were on the verge of sealing the deal.But then came George, striding into the conference room with his usual air of authority. He took charge, but instead of using his charm and finesse, he adopted a more assertive, rude, and direct approach. The shift in atmosphere was palpable, and the clients seemed visibly uncomfortable with his demeanor.Ariana shot George a disapproving look, trying to signal him to adjust his tone and approach. She knew that the client was becoming uncomfortable, and she desperately wanted to save the situation. But George remained cold and unyielding, re

The office was quiet, the soft glow of the desk lamps casting a warm ambiance in the otherwise dark room. Ariana and George sat across from each other at the conference table, going over the project details for what felt like the hundredth time. The air was thick with tension, both from the stress of their work and the unresolved feelings that had been building between them."You know, George," Ariana said, trying to keep her voice steady, "we could try putting some of my ideas into the proposal. I really think it could make a difference."George leaned back in his chair, raising an eyebrow. "Oh, now you want to work together? I thought you believed in your 'collaborative approach.'"Ariana narrowed her eyes, her frustration bubbling to the surface. "You know what, George? You can be so annoying sometimes!"He chuckled, the sound low and rumbling. "Annoying? That's a new one. But I suppose I could say the same about you."The banter between them was laced with underlying tension, each

A few days has passed since George and Ariana shared their passionate kiss and Ariana had been avoiding him ever since then. She had found every excuse to not be left alone with him and this only seemed to excite him the more. Ariana let out a tired sigh as she tried to concentrate on the paper work on her desk. Her mind kept drifting back to the kiss, how could she have allowed him win over her like that? Her body had responded to his touch so shamelessly that all she felt was embarrassment everytime she remembered the incident. He had awakened a part of her that she thought she had long buried. She closed her eyes and cupped her face with her palms and let out a frustrated quiet cry as she felt her cheeks get hot from the thoughts of his touch.it had just been a simple kiss but it ignited an uncontrollable fire in her body that never got the chance to burn itself out. The warmth of his lips lingered in her memory now whenever she closed her eyes, the taste of his tongue still lin

As the plane soared through the skies, George's frustration still lingered beneath the surface. He couldn't shake the jealousy and possessiveness he felt towards Ariana, especially when he saw her interacting with Sam. His rational mind told him that he had no right to feel this way, but his emotions seemed to have a mind of their own.Ariana, sitting beside him, could sense his inner turmoil, but she didn't want to push the issue further. She knew that the journey ahead would already be filled with challenges, and she wasn't ready to add more tension to the mix, so she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.Taking a deep breath, George decided to focus on the project at hand. He pulled out the project documents and started reviewing them, making notes and jotting down ideas for the upcoming meetings. He knew he had to be fully prepared, and that meant putting aside his personal feelings for now.As the plane touched down in Italy, George gently nudged Andrea awake. "We've arrived,
