I couldn't believe my best friend's words. Fall in love with James King?
No way! He's my boss, and he hates me. I tried to shake off the thought,
but it lingered in my mind. I couldn't deny the sparks that flew between us when we argued,
but I wasn't going to admit it to myself or anyone else.
The next day at work, James was his usual gruff self, but I noticed a hint of a smile when he thought I wasn't looking.
I brushed it off as my imagination, but I couldn't help feeling a flutter in my chest.
As the days went by, our arguments became more frequent, but so did the lingering glances and tense moments between us.
I was determined to keep my distance, but it was getting harder by the day.
