Ashton's POVI shrugged on my shirt with a bored expression, staring into space."Ashy-boo, what's wrong?" Sandra's voice sounded like the buzzing of a fly that I just wanted to swat away."Should we go for another round to help you loosen up?"She asked as she tried to unbutton my shirt but I shrugged her hands off."I'm done with you here. You can leave."I had pressing matters to attend to right now. A lot of things were on my mind.I had called Sandra to help ease my mind of the burden.But her service only made my mind flash back to the one person who had not left my mind since I collided with her"Kara Reed really is an agent of bad luck. Ever since you met her, your mind has barely ever been on work anymore. You don't even pay attention to me either ever since—""Can you please let me think? I need my privacy, please!" I snapped at her.Her voice sounded really irritating.Her eyes grew glossy with tears but it was the least of my concerns."This is not fair, Ash—""Don't forge

KARA It was getting late. Everyone had left the office, yet I was there, working tirelessly on a design for the system. The project had gone through prior necessary phases and now we were at the designing stage. I had people who could do the design, but I wanted nothing but perfection. That was the reason why I was still at the office by past nine pm at night. A splitting ache ran across my head, making me massage my temple a bit. "Miss Reed, I think you really should retire for the day." It was Lola. She had been waiting with me, refusing to leave until I did. I waved her off with a small smile. "I'll be fine, Lola. You really should leave. I want to make sure I get a rough sketch of the AI system before I leave." She sighed, her shoulders slouching. "What about Nate, miss Reed?" I pressed my lips in a thin line, "He's with Tracy. I already told him I'll be late today." She wanted to argue but I quickly added, "Please leave, Lola. I feel so guilty holding you up here."

Kara ReedThe next three days were a blur for me, but I made sure that I wasn't separated from Nate.There had been no incident from his school but that didn't mean that I was going to let the events of the past few days slide past again.As I say in the boardroom, listening to my software designers show me a prototype of the software for the hotel lobby, I frowned."The animations and graphics are still placeholders, but the functionality is complete—""That's not good enough," I interjected, my irritation growing.Maybe it was because Ashton was dropping by this afternoon again to 'check our progress'... Or maybe it was simply from the stress of trying my best to finish the job as fast as possible and stop seeing Ashton.I just wasn't feeling in a great mood."Rework the interface for the admins. Also, I need a design that's aesthetic, yet functional. Your model also has a lot of security risks; we d

One deep breath to regain my composure. A practiced smile not to drop any hint. I slowly turned to face the smiling, handsome demon who stood behind us, looking like he owned the place. “Ashton Hall,” Dylan stated coolly, but I could sense the edge in it. His arm snaked around my waist as he drew closer. His eyes had a coldness in them towards Ashton that told me something more was at play between the two guys. Something I just might want to know later on. “Stewart, fancy seeing you here. I’m shocked by your taste in restaurants and…” He trailed off, locking his eyes back on me. “Good things generally. Quite exquisite, I must say.” I felt flame rise to my cheek, but much more than that, anger burned in my chest. Was he referring to me as a thing? “Mr. Hall,” I cut in, smiling sweetly even though the smile didn’t quite reach my eyes. “Is it really a surprise to see you here?” If he was surprised by my tone or amused, I couldn’t tell. He cocked his head to the side, a small smirk

KARA'S POV "Madam, please, calm down. We're very sorry about the arrangement. It must have been a slipup on our end and I assure you I will do all I can within my power to rectify it if it's possible —"The word entered into my ear like irritatingly, "What do you mean if it's possible? They put me in the same room with a stranger. Do you know how silly that sounds?"Lola shifted on her feet after repeatedly trying to pacify me, but it was pointless.I'd much rather sleep on the street than spend one night with Ashton Hall in the same room."How did this even happen?" Tiredness weighed my voice down. I had barely gotten any sleep after Lola told me of the tragic arrangement.The hotel manager, who had been speaking with us for close to thirty minutes now sighed, tired as well."I promise you, I don't understand myself. I remember the manager of your project specifically asked for two rooms."Weird. "Can I get an
