"The harder I try to hate you, the deeper I fall for you."

His presence irked her to the core, but whenever he got out of her sight, she missed him?! 

….

A tyrant, known to be the city's infamous playboy. 
As an executive assistant, she was forced to work under him by the most cruel twist of fate.

If losing her job overnight was a nightmare, then working under a boss like Desmond Fort was hell. He was an arrogant narcissist with an ego bigger than the whole of Imperium city, but that was not what angered her the most. 

The most infuriating fact was that despite his constant assholery, her heart seemed to stupidly skip a beat every time he gazed at her with those devilishly charming eyes. 
She knew she was making a mistake but that didn't stop her from sinking deeper and deeper into his charm. 


All she wanted now was to leave! But leaving hell was not nearly as easy as getting in.

Seeing that his reaction was way more nonchalant than she would ever have guessed, she sighed in relief. "I was worried that you would be devastated if Jaime, who is an outsider, did anything to Samantha. Since you don't care, I will be on my way back."

"Stay." He turned to look at her. It was more of an order than a request, and she had no choice but to stop in her tracks.

"Okay… is there anything you need me to help you with?" She slowly made her way to him and sat down when he patted the space beside him.

Pulling her closer to him, he cupped her face as he gently caressed her cheek with his thumb.

"These past few weeks have been quite troublesome. So troublesome that if I tried to do everything on my own, I'm sure I would have messed everything up. Thank you for helping me through it." He gazed into her hazel eyes deeply.
