A knock on the door caused Lily to look up from her laptop, which had tons of designs displayed on them, and her brows furrowed in confusion. She didn't order room service. The knock came again and she sighed then proceeded to drop the laptop on the table and walked over to the door. "Yeah?" She called out as she walked to the door. Peeking through the peephole, her heart dropped to her stomach and she immediately pressed her back against the door. What the hell was he doing here? She slowly turned around and peeped again, and lo and behold it was really him. She let out an inaudible scream and stomped her feet repeatedly. She planned on avoiding him throughout the day, and if possible the next 45 days. It'll make things simple and easy, and also keep her from thinking about how stupid her deal was. "Are you going to let me in, or do I have to break in?" She rolled her eyes at his question, before she took a deep breath, and at glancing at herself quickly in the mirror, she realize

Coming back to New York felt weird. The bland welcome they received from the helps and the home that lacked the warmth of an actual home was a jarring push to reality. They weren't in Paris anymore. They were in New York. The place that reminded them of everything that they wished not to remember. Lily felt a knot from in the pit of her belly as she thought of what life will be like here. It definitely won't be dreamy. It'll once again be the non-smiling, business-minded Asher, who she'll yet again try to make fall in love with her... This time in just 45 days. She released a deep breath and thinned her lips. At least, she won't spend the whole day moping because of him this time. She's got a job that'll keep him out of her mind. "I believe you'll want to freshen up," Asher said, breaking the silence and she snapped out of her thoughts, nodding. "Go on ahead. I have to head back to the office for an important meeting." She thinned her lips and nodded, presenting a calm font though

Asher looked at the wall clock and immediately smiled. In less than 2 hours, he'd be on his date with Lily.  He pushed all he had to do today to the morning in order to free up his evening despite the issues it caused. The fact that he stayed up all night fixing the mess Charlotte created, also resulted in him not getting any sleep. His imagination of Lily's reaction to his hard work however kept him going. He didn't mean to but last night, he noticed the look of defeat in her face after the frames were smashed into pieces, and though his body begged him to crawl to bed after he successfully threw Charlotte out, he found himself fixing the mess, and now he was looking forward to seeing her and hearing what she has to say about it all.  "Get it together, you're not a teenager." He whispered.  Clearing his throat he returned to the last project he had to finish before the day ended, forc

Asher slowly crept into the house, careful not to wake anyone up. He ended up staying longer than he expected at the hospital and he barely had the time to check up on Lily. "Back so early," Someone said as he walked into the living room and he froze momentarily. His eyes went to the huge wall clock hanging in the room, and he immediately turned to the direction the voice came from, and there was Lily. She was sitting on the sofa, her knees pressed against her chest, still dressed in what he guessed is her work outfit at half past 10, a bottle of wine open on the table before her. His brows knitted together as he took note of all these. His eyes finally rested on her face, and his heart dropped to his stomach when he noticed how red and swollen her eyes were. Just how long has she been crying? He instantly shrugged off his suit jacket and walked over to her, and made himself comfortable beside her. He wasn't one to comfort anyone crying. He didn't know how to, but... "How long hav

Lily woke up with the worst headache known to mankind, and a sharp hiss of pain escaped her lips the second she opened her eyes. "What the hell happened?" She groaned as she tried to sit up. It took a few seconds for her eyes to adjust to the blinding light, and a full minute for her memories of last night to come pouring back to her. She looked around and she was in her room, but she could have sworn she slept off in the living room. Asher. A smile involuntarily curled up on her lips at the thought of him carrying her up to the room despite being exhausted himself. Last night should really go down in history. She smiled even more and stretched, and that was when her eyes caught the time in the little clock on her table, and they widened. She has another meeting with her team in less than 2 hours, and she has barely gotten out of bed. She immediately threw the duvet off her and tried to rush out of the bed, but the splitting headaches held her in place. She quickly cradled her head
