"I love you with your all flaws and imperfections, that's what true love is about."

Amelia's POV

My chain of thoughts was broken by the sound of the engine. That's when I saw a black car stopping right in front of me. The glass of the window slides down and there was he, Liam Cartwright.

The root of my all problems.

The person with whom I had my kiss in a drunken state and also to whom I lost my precious V card.

"What are you doing here, Ms. Dawson?" Mr. Cartwright asked as he got out of his car. His voice sounded quite deep yet soft.

Oh god! Why does his voice sound good right now? Does he always talk like that? This is the first time I realized how deep his voice is!

Well, this is Liam Cartwright, the CEO of Dallas Fashion House and my boss. He's the second son of our chairwoman, Mrs. Lorraine Cartwright.

Crystal blue eyes, dark brown hair, chiseled jaw, and kissable lips - Liam Cartwright is a definition of true beauty. The genes don't lie, he's simply beautiful like his mother. And he resembles his mother a lot. Mostly because they both have crystal blue eyes, deep like the ocean.

I have seen a fair share of men in my life, but I have never met anyone like him. He's an extraordinary beauty, especially when he smiles. I think it's mostly because of his dimple. That's the best part of his charm. And you can't overlook it.

In fact, I'm surprised that I lost my virginity to a person like him. He's just out of my league. And I can't even compare with such rare beauty.

So should I be happy about it or feel embarrassed about it? I don't know. After all, I slept with my boss.

But at least, I'm thankful that I didn't lose it to any old hag or a married man. Because that would be worse.

"Ms. Dawson, are you okay?" Mr. Cartwright waved his hand in front of me, I snapped out of my thoughts hearing his voice, "What happened? Why are you lost?" he asked.

"Nothing, I was just thinking something." I blushed due to embarrassment and gave him a nervous smile.

"But why are you here?" he asked looking at me confusedly.

I got up and forwarded the file to him, "Actually you need to sign on those papers. That's why Mrs. Pallis send me to your office. But you weren't there and the file needed to be signed by today so I came here." I explained.

"That's okay! But what are you doing here? Outside of my house? Why didn't you wait inside?" he asked, sighing.

"Your security guard said he can't let any stranger go inside in your absence and you didn't pick up your phone so--"

"Oh, I'm sorry 'bout that! I ordered them due to a security issue. Do one thing, come inside. I will sign on those papers, then you can leave." He said with a sigh.

"There's no need you can---"

"I'm not asking, I'm telling you. I'm already tired, I don't have time to argue with you." He said frustrated and left from there without giving me a chance to say something.

"What a rude jerk!" I cursed him under my breath. Calming myself, I followed him behind while picking my things. He threw his car keys to the guard and went inside.

As we walked inside, my eyes roamed around the structure of his huge and magnificent mansion. And there's no doubt that the house will be more beautiful from the inside.

"I thought, I have to sign on this file only," I got startled hearing Mr. Cartwright's voice and looked at him.

He was looking at my hand. I looked at my hand and realized that there was another file in my hand. I should mentally slap myself for that stupidity.

God, I shouldn't have brought the file here.

But before he can assume anything, I quickly replied, "No-no, you don't have to sign it. It's my work file."

He nods his head and walked inside the house, I followed him in tow. And as expected, the interior of the house was just marvelous. I couldn't help but gawk at it like a fool. I was so speechless that I couldn't even utter a word to describe the house.

I stopped gawking when Mr. Cartwright called me. He handed over the file to me, I quickly grabbed it.

"Ms. Dawson, you can sit here! I will be back in a few minutes," he said pointing towards the couch and leaving from there without even hearing my answer.

I sighed and walked towards the couch and sat on it properly. I looked around the living room, the house was designed with all the modern appliances. Marble floors, double stairs.... even there were lots of expensive paintings which were hanging on the walls.

Amelia, you know the guy is super-rich. Stop gawking like an idiot.

I looked at the magazines placed on the table. Keeping the files on tables, I took one magazine. On the front cover, it has Mr. Cartwright's face.

I don't why my heartbeat raised seeing his picture, maybe it reminds me that I have seen him this close. I didn't even realize that I'm staring at the magazine for so long. Hearing the sound of footsteps, I quickly put the magazine on the table and sat properly.

Gosh! I can't embarrass myself again!

Mr. Cartwright came wearing a loose t-shirt and sweatpants. Even in those clothes, he managed to look hot.

Amelia shut it! You're behaving like a hormonal teenager.

He sat down on the opposite couch and was about to take the file when I realized he was taking the wrong file. Before he can touch the file, I quickly grabbed the right one and hand over to him.

"This one," I said forwarding him the file, he nods his head and took the file. I took a breath of relief.

Suddenly, a wave of nausea hit me.... when the aroma of fresh brewing coffee filled my nostrils. I covered my mouth when the maid placed the tray of coffee cups on the table.

"I didn't ask you but I hope the coffee is---"

"Where is the washroom?" I asked interrupting Mr. Cartwright, he looked confused by the sudden question and sudden change of behavior of mine.

"There," he pointed towards a particular direction, "Are you okay--"

Before he could complete his question, I got up quickly and rushed to the washroom leaving him confused.

Finally, you have succeeded in embarrassing yourself, Amelia!
