All Chapters of HER BOSS,HIS DESIRE : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Serena was late.Unfortunately for her , the universe did not seem to care.“Please hold on!” she cried out breathlessly as the elevator doors began to close.A man inside pressed the button without looking at her once.“Thanks,” Serena murmured, stepping in quickly while trying to catch her breath.Rainwater clung to the sleeves of her coat. Her curls were slightly wet, and the cheap heels she had borrowed from Pamela were already beginning to hurt her feet so much. Exactly how someone should look while going to an interview at a big place. The elevator was quiet except for the soft hum of movement and droplets from her hair. Serena fixed her attention on the glowing numbers above the door and tried not to think about the message her landlord had sent her that morning."PAY BEFORE FRIDAY OR LEAVE".It was really bad. She needed this job.Not because she dreamed of working in some luxurious place. Not because rich people fascinated her. But because Mira needed school supplies. Becaus

By the end of the week, Serena had started getting used to the mansion. Not the size of it.

If he worked in the library, Seren
