This Can't Be

Emma Winters stood outside the building where the wedding reception was being held—an event she had reluctantly agreed to attend, thanks to her friend Ivy. “This feels like a terrible idea. I don’t even know these people,” she grumbled, smoothing down the cocktail gown she had been convinced to wear, courtesy of Ivy.“You don’t need to know them,” Ivy chimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “What you need is to get out of the house and stop wallowing in self-pity. You’ve been ghosting me for days, and I’m not having it anymore. Weddings are fun! Trust me.”Emma’s arms instinctively folded across her chest, her lips forming a tight line as she regarded Ivy with a mix of annoyance and appreciation. How could someone so carefree understand the weight of loneliness that clung to her? “Fun for you,” she shot back, rolling her eyes. “I’m just going to be the socially awkward plus-one who gets stuck by the dessert table all night, watching everyone else have a good time.”“Then consid

Crazy Ex

Liam cleared his throat and then pasted a nervous smile as he glanced at Emma then back at the blonde. “She.... she's no one, babe,” Liam said quickly, stepping closer to the bride. “Just… my crazy ex. The one I told you about.” Emma’s heart stopped at his words. “Your crazy ex?” He didn't even bat an eyelid lying to the girl he just got married to, neither did he think twice about how he would hurt her own feelings. The bride tilted her head, her lips curling into a cold smile. “Oh! The crazy ex! She must really be that crazy if she's here like this!” Ivy who had been equally stunned by Liam's statement scoffed. “I've always known you're a jerk but a cheat? God!”“And who are you to call my man a cheat? Another of his crazy ex?” the blonde asked looking Ivy over. “She's not his 'crazy ex' and neither am I. I'm his girlfriend and we've been dating for two years!” Emma yelled, drawing the attention of everyone who hadn't noticed the commotion. The bride let out a cruel laugh

Unwinding

“I mean it,” Ivy said, her tone firm. “You need a fresh start, Em. A place far away from all this. You’re brilliant, organized, and more than capable of handling the role. I’ve already accepted the offer, but they don’t know what I look like. You could easily step in.”Emma stared at Ivy, dumbfounded. “You can’t be serious. That’s your job, Ivy. I can’t just—”“Yes, you can,” Ivy interrupted. “Look, I don’t even want the job, you know it. I accepted it because my mom kept nagging me about getting a stable job, but I hate the idea of being stuck in an office. You, on the other hand, need a clean break. This is perfect for you.”Emma hesitated, her heart pounding. The idea of leaving everything behind—her apartment, her routines, the ghost of her relationship with Liam—was both terrifying and tempting. Could she really just pick up and start over in a completely different city?Though she had been the one to bring up the idea of leaving Florittle but could she go to Zeden and work as Iv

Want To Get Out Of Here?

The bar thrummed with low chatter, the clink of glasses mingling with the sultry hum of live jazz from a corner stage. Warm, amber light bathed the room, casting long, flickering shadows across polished wood floors. It was cozy, intimate—the kind of place where memories were meant to fade.But Emma Winters knew better. Memories didn’t fade so easily.She sat across from her sister, Evelyn, staring at the pale pink cocktail in her hand. Its soft, playful hue felt mocking, a sharp contrast to the ache coiling deep inside her chest. She ran her fingertip along the rim of the glass in slow, absent circles, lost in the storm of thoughts she had tried for weeks to bury.Liam.Even now, his name was a wound that refused to heal. The image of him smiling at her, the woman Emma hadn’t even known existed until three days ago haunted her. How did two years unravel so easily? And why, despite everything, did she still feel this hollow ache inside her?Moving to Zeden was supposed to be a fresh

Unexpected Encounter

Chris’s lips curled into a soft, knowing smile. But his eyes searched hers carefully, as if giving her the space to change her mind.“Are sure about that?” he asked and Emma nodded.“Sure. So, should we leave now?” she asked and he smiled. “Yeah,” he murmured. “Let's go.”They arrived at the suite in a comfortable silence, the soft click of the door closing behind them louder than it should have been. He stood a few feet away, watching her like she was something fragile, his usual confidence tempered with a quiet patience.“You sure you’re okay?” he asked, voice softer now.Emma nodded, her heart thudding too loudly in her chest. “Yeah. I just… I don’t want to think tonight. I just want to feel something else.”“Something like what?” he asked, his gaze held hers for a moment, searching.Emma looked at him and without a second thought, she closed the distance between then, stood on tiptoes and kissed him. Though he didn't usually kiss or make out with girls he just met, Chris drew

Spur Of The Moment Thing

Emma's thoughts whirled in chaotic disarray as she struggled to process the overwhelming reality before her. The man she had spent a reckless night with—the man she had fled from at dawn—stood before her, no longer just Chris from the bar, but Christopher Jacobs, the mysterious CEO of JB Enterprise. Her boss. Not only was he her supposed boss but the same one she had told about how she came about the job. What was she supposed to do now? Her stomach twisted with nerves as Chris crossed his arms over his broad chest, a smirk playing on his lips that suggested he was enjoying her discomfort. Emma wished for the ground to swallow her as she stared at the big nameplate on Christopher's desk, showing his name. “Well,” he said, his voice smooth and laced with amusement. ”I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to see you again so soon. And definitely not in my office.” Hearing this Emma turned away, her cheeks burning in a crimson red which was as a result of her embarrassment.

A Bet

Emma could still feel the weight of Chris’s words pressing against her as she left his office. The confidence in his tone and his absolute certainty that he would win were infuriating. As soon as she stepped outside, the senior secretary, a woman in her mid-fifties with sharp eyes and a no-nonsense demeanour was already waiting for her. “You must be Emma,” the woman said, giving her a quick once-over. “I’m Margaret, the senior secretary, and you'll be his assistant. I've been informed that you're starting immediately; let’s not waste any time.” Emma straightened her posture. “Of course.” Margaret nodded approvingly. “Good. Follow me.” Margaret led her through a brief orientation, explaining company policies and her daily responsibilities and introducing her to a few coworkers. The work wasn’t complicated—mostly managing schedules, organising files, and ensuring that Chris’s day ran smoothly, not forgetting the part she'd need to follow him on trips and business meetings.Af

Kimberly Williams

Emma’s body ached with exhaustion as she pushed open the apartment door, her mind still buzzing from the whirlwind of the day. Between the shock of running into Chris, the tension at work, and Ivy’s ridiculous bet, she felt completely drained.She barely had time to set her bag down when Evelyn appeared from the kitchen, arms crossed over her chest, her eyes scanning Emma’s face with suspicion.“Where have you been?” she asked just as Emma took a seat on the couch.Emma sighed before replying, “Work.”Evelyn raised a brow. “You were supposed to go for an 'interview,' not a full shift,” she said as she walked closer to Emma.Emma swallowed, keeping her expression neutral. “I had the interview. And they asked me to start immediately.”Evelyn arched an eyebrow. “Just like that?”Emma shrugged as she stood up and made her way toward her bedroom. “Guess they were desperate for someone competent.”Evelyn didn’t look convinced as she strutted after her. “And you’ve been off since you came b

Why Did You Stop

It had been a full week since Emma stepped into the polished, glass-fronted offices of the prestigious firm, and to her astonishment, Christopher had been… surprisingly normal despite his threat to seduce her at any chance he got. After that audacious conversation when he declared he would eagerly pursue her, she had been bracing herself for his inevitable advances—flirting comments laced with charm, heated glances that lingered a beat longer than necessary, or some clever maneuver designed to rekindle the undeniable spark they had shared that Friday night. But to her growing confusion, nothing had transpired. Not even a flirtatious glance. Nothing. Christopher had been the epitome of professionalism, treating her no differently than he would any other employee: their dialogues strictly confined to work-related matters. His tone had remained impeccably formal, devoid of even the slightest hint of impropriety or suggestiveness. It was as if that charged, electric encounter had fade

Impromptu Meeting

Emma was busy reviewing documents at her desk in the afternoon. Absorbed in her work, she barely noticed when Christopher’s office door swung open or when he walked over to her.“Emma,” he called, his deep voice snapping her from her thoughts. She quickly stood and responded, “Yes, sir?” “We have a meeting right now. Let’s go.” Emma blinked, confused. She glanced at his schedule, flipping through the neatly arranged appointments. “There’s no meeting on your schedule, Mr. Jacobs,” she said still confused.After what had happened in the morning, he hadn't called her to his office again, and she was still trying to calm her racing heart whenever he stepped out of his office for a meeting. Christopher didn’t miss a beat. “That’s because it’s impromptu. An investor wants to meet outside the company.” She hesitated but then sighed. 'He’s the boss,' she thought. 'If he said there was a meeting, then there was a meeting.'“Alright, sir.” She grabbed her notepad and followed him out
