EMILY'S POV

My eyes widened in shock as Ronald walked into the conference room with so much aura. ‘How did he get to know? Right! It's his company, so he would,eventually,’

Ronald's gaze swept the room, his eyes scrutinizing the crowd as if searching for a specific person. His intensity was tangible and I felt a shiver run down my spine as his eyes locked into mine. ‘Why does he have this power over me? Why can he unnerve me with just one glance? it's frustrating… and terrifying.’

Time seemed to slow as he strode towards me, his confident strides closing the distance. The room faded into the background, leaving the two of us suspended in anticipation.

He joined me on the stage, he drew me close, his warm breath whispering against my ear “ What's going on here?" he whispered, his voice low and husky.

I felt a shock of electricity as his hand wrapped round my waist, sending sparks coursing through my veins.
