Lillian’s POV“Where the hell are you?” My colleague Emilia Winston practically screamed through the phone as I picked up. It was already past nine.I quickened my pace, rushing to leave the fancy five-star hotel. "How the heck did he afford a room in this posh place? He must be used to rubbing elbows with rich sugar mommas for cash," I grumbled to myself, thinking about the stranger."Lillian Sterling, are you even listening to me?" Emilia's voice snapped me back to reality."Yeah, yeah, I'm here," I said, trying to focus."You were supposed to update the event management about ditching the roses. Remember, our new boss is allergic?""Aw, crap," I groaned."Lily, what's up with you? Sort out your mess and get your butt to the office pronto. You sound awful on the phone." Emilia hung up before I could even respond.I rushed home, gobbled down a sandwich, and got ready in a flash. By 10 am, I made it to the reception area of Luxor Corporation, the big shot company owned by the famous Si

Lillian’s POVClosing the door behind me, I caught Ryan cursing me under his breath. I hurriedly left the place, quickly packing my stuff from my desk to move to my new office.Of course, it was in the VIP section where all the CEO’s assistants sat.Saying goodbye to my old department was bittersweet, especially seeing Emilia almost in tears. We'd definitely miss our office gossip sessions.As I stepped onto the new floor, Ryan's personal assistant Caleb Lane approached me."Ms. Sterling, my boss instructed me to help you settle into your new position. Feel free to ask anything," he said, guiding me to my office.Stepping into the room, my mind went blank. It was a well-decorated, spacious room with a glass window partition that faced Ryan's office. I could see my new boss clearly through the glass."Um... do I really have to keep the curtains open on this window, Mr. Lane?" I mumbled, stealing a quick glance at Ryan through the glass."My boss likes to keep an eye on his assistants, a

"Greek God, huh?" Ryan smirked as he carried Lilian in his arms, striding confidently toward the exit."Yeah, I'm really glad you came for me," Lilian giggled like a spoiled kid, resting her head on his muscular chest. Just as they were about to leave, someone suddenly blocked their way. It was Max, Lilian's ex-boyfriend."Hey, who are you? Where are you taking Lily?" Max shouted, letting go of Tessa's hand and rushing forward. Tessa's face twisted with jealousy, seeing Lilian in the arms of this insanely handsome guy. "How does she end up with someone this hot and probably rich?" Tessa thought to herself.Ryan turned to face Max, unfazed by his outburst, and stared him down with a look that could kill. Intimidated, Max instinctively took a few steps back, feeling like he was Ryan's servant. But he managed to gather his courage and charged again. "You can't just take any drunk girl from the party. It's not some kind of hookup event."Tessa couldn't resist pinching Lilian this time as

The next day in the morning,The room was still dark, the morning sunlight blocked by heavy curtains, and a soft scent of fresh lilac lingered in the air.Lilian groggily woke up, her head feeling heavy. A throbbing pain pulsed inside her skull as she blinked open her tired eyes, still foggy from last night's heavy drinking and sleep. The room was so warm and cozy that she almost snuggled back under the white comforter and drifted off again.Just as she was about to fall asleep, a sarcastic voice came from the corner, "Finally, you're awake!"The voice startled Lilian, jolting her awake. For a moment, she couldn’t figure out who it was and squinted into the dim light. After blinking a few times to clear her vision, she saw a man in a full suit sitting on a fancy two-seater sofa in the corner."Drinking like a pig and snoring like a truck all night! Seriously, that was pretty gross for a woman!" Ryan's voice dripped with sarcasm."What? No way!" Lilian suddenly realized who had been ta

Lilian gasped, too shocked to even fight against Ryan’s grip. His lips were dangerously close to hers, and she could feel his warm breath brushing against her skin.Trembling, she shut her eyes, her heart pounding with more than just fear... the closeness stirred something deep inside her. The lustful thought of his lips claiming hers sent a shiver down her spine.“Stop… please,” she whispered, though it came out sounding more like she wanted him to keep going. Her resolve was crumbling, and she hated herself for it.“Why are you closing your eyes?” Ryan’s whisper instantly snapped her out of her trance.Startled, Lilian’s eyes flew open, meeting his intense gaze. She silently cursed herself for letting her thoughts wander to such dangerous territory.Mumbling under her breath, she tried to push him away, regaining her senses. “Let me go… This is inappropriate.”“Inappropriate?” Ryan feigned innocence, his tone laced with mockery. “What am I doing wrong?”“This is your office.
