Edward’s povBeing in the same room with her made my heart thump in ways I didn’t expect it to. She was just in my grasp.Everything around me stopped. The only thing before us was the table and the food on it which, to be honest, I couldn’t wait to taste.Yet I wondered what she would do now. Would she leave without a care in the world? Or would she act like nothing happened between us?“Eloise,” I said as she looked at me wide-eyed like I was a ghost.“Umm…” she muttered as she blinked hard multiple times before looking down at the food.She looked around to see the other helpers and her assistant before looking back at me.“Excuse me,” she said before walking out of the kitchen.People started to murmur. They were confused about what had happened.The awkward stares between us had been a lot. No one was blind to not notice that.“Sir,” Bryan whispered to me. “What do we do?”I sighed and nodded. “I’ll be back.”“What?”But before he could ask me what I meant by that, I turned and w

Edward’s povI sat in my office drinking a bottle of one of my expensive drinks when the door opened after a quick knock.It was a board member.“What do you want?” I swirled my drink as the ice fell apart in the glass.“I’m here to see if you are still showing up for the board meeting,” he said as I groaned and shook my head.This was frustrating. Knowing that I had to deal with him as a person right now.“How about we deal with this later?” I said with a small smile.“As much as I would love to let you stay here and relax, we have so many things to do. We can’t just let this go. We need you for the meeting so that we can discuss the next step to take. We have to meet some investors who would love to step into our company. We need to check the staff and maybe hire more. This is a seven-star hotel. It needs the best of the best. We can’t do anything without investors.”I dropped my cup on the table with a bang as some amber liquid splashed out on the leather top.I was so mad I could

Edward’s povI watched the accident before me almost happen as I wanted to jump in to save them. But then George held me back.“The security has it under control,” he said as I looked at the car before me. The driver recovered quickly and drove away as I heard my name from the car.“Who did you give your middle name to?” He laughed as I stared after the moving car.“A special someone,” I said with something fluttering in my chest.I looked at him and nodded. “Let’s go,” I said as he nodded and we walked away.I soon finished with the school and its meetings, which, to be honest, were boring me to death, and headed home.The moment I got out of the car, Bryan appeared like he had been waiting for me. He bowed, and my eyes immediately shot to the files in his hands.“Can we do this later?” I asked. “I can’t keep this up. I need rest.”“Certainly sir. I’ll push your schedule for later.”I nodded and walked with him as we entered the house. My butler got me a drink of water as I gulped

Eloise’s povThat morning, while I drove Selena to school, my mind buzzed around the call I had had yesterday with Bryan.What did he want me at the office for? As much as I was supposed to start working for them, I still had to think of my mental health at this point.I waved her off and drove away to the office.I soon got to the office and entered the building as my assistant Sandra welcomed me.“Mr Bryan needs you there with him,” she said as I nodded.“I’ll be there with him. Anything else?” I asked as she shook her head. “Nothing else,” she said. “How are you holding up?”“I’m okay,” was all I could say as she nodded.We entered the slick, glass-walled boardroom, my heels clicking against the polished floor. The AC was on cold, but not as cold as the stare I shot at the man sitting arrogantly at the head of the table—Edward.Bryan stood beside him holding a file like he always did when we had to meet, avoiding eye contact with me.“Miss Camille,” Bryan said formally, “please h

Edward’s povWhen I was off from work, I didn’t go back to the mansion. No, I had the driver take me right back to the school.If I went home, there would be nothing for me to do and no one for me to talk to. Plus, what was the point anyway? The house was depressing, and it brought a lot of memories that I didn’t like—mostly bad ones. There were good ones, like the ones I had with Eloise, but then there were ones with Charlotte, and none of them were even remotely good.“Sir, Bryan is calling the car to know where you are,” the driver said as I sighed. This assistant job, Bryan was really taking it seriously. “What should I tell him?”“Tell him we’re busy,” I said, but just before he could pick up the phone, I told him not to do it.“Why sir?” He asked.“Just drive. I’ll answer him later.”The driver nodded and drove me to the school.***There was so much life there when we arrived. Children ran wild through the yard; their laughter and voices echoed in the sun-drenched air, a playg
