Hayden-One after another, an outfit was thrown at me to try on. I wasn’t sure how long I spent in and out of the dressing room. Every outfit Dominic wanted me to demonstrate. In my opinion, they were all stunning clothes, but Dominic gave the final say.“Next.” Dominic repeated the same word I had heard since the first outfit I tried on.Many of the clothes were put aside for us to buy, while many others were rejected. The first twenty outfits were of different styles, but then the staff started bringing more of a particular style. Most of the clothes I tried on had a sweet and innocent appearance.The colors were white or pastel, a light shade, such as pink, grey, tan, or blue. The business attire outfits that were chosen for me were a mixture of suit jackets in many different colors and textures with matching skirts.Many of the outfits came with their own accessories, such as jewelry, scarves, purses, and hats. He also picked out a lot of casual clothes. Each outfit I tried on did

Hayden-The following morning, I rode in the elevator with Dominic and Tristan. Everything had already been explained to me after I went through the hiring process, but one thing still concerned me. Glancing at Dominic’s back, I wondered if I should say what was on my mind.“Talk.” Dominic demanded, and I wondered if he could read my mind or had eyes on the back of his head to notice something was going on in my head.“I…” I twisted my clasped hands a few times. “I was wondering if we could keep it a secret about knowing each other outside of the office.” I mumbled.“Why?” Dominic and Tristan asked.“I haven’t finished college and don’t want others to get the wrong idea. I want to prove myself independently without everyone thinking I have a backer.”“We can keep it quiet for now, but your safety is my main priority. In the office, I will allow a bit of freedom for you to handle matters on your own, but if anyone tries to jeopardize your safety, I will step in.” Dominic tone was sligh

Hayden-When it didn’t look like he was going to calm down any time soon, I walked around the desk. Slowly resting my hand on his arm, I felt his muscles tense. Dominic stared at the door to his office as if he could burn a hole through it.“Dominic?” I whispered.Suddenly, his hand closed around my wrist, and before I knew what was happening, he pulled me onto his lap. Sitting across his lap, my hands rested on his shoulders. My breath hitched in my throat as I looked into his icy gaze.When his arms wrapped around my waist, he jerked me forward until our faces were a few inches apart. His body felt tense as he stared at me, and his gaze dropped to my lips. For the longest time, I thought he was going to kiss me. I didn’t know if I wanted him to or not, but I didn’t think I would push him away if he tried.“I will come back later.” Tristian’s voice snapped me out of my haze, and I scurried off Dominic’s lap.“I am going to go get something to drink.” I mumbled as I hurried out of the

Dominic-Going into the break room, I filled a mug with hot coffee and placed it in the microwave for two minutes. After it was heated, I grabbed the mug, not caring that the handle was hot to the touch. With a destination in mind, I left the breakroom.Arriving at the small office that Devon occupied, I shoved the door open without knocking. Her friends gathered around her on the couch while one bandaged her finger. Not long after I walked in, her attention shot up.“Dominic!” She jumped up with eagerness and rushed to me.I thought I had contained my anger, but the moment she grabbed my sleeve, I wanted to break every bone in her body. Grabbing her wrist, I shoved her other hand away. Holding her wrist up, I applied pressure and bent it backward.“You are hurting me!” Devon shrieked and tried to pull her wrist free.“What gives you the right to say that I am yours?” I glowered, gritted my teeth, and stepped forward to tower over her.“I don’t know what you are talking about.” Devon

Hayden-Over the next week, I busied myself with learning as much as I could. I read over file after file until I could almost memorize different contracts. It felt like a waste of time, but at least I pointed out a few issues I noticed.Dominic never officially assigned me to a task, which annoyed me. Every day, he would take me to work and take me back home, but it was the same thing every day. If things continued like this, I felt like I was going to go insane.For an entire week, my schedule consisted of waking up, getting ready for work, going to work, returning home, eating, getting ready for bed, sleeping, and then starting all over. I never left the office because after the incident on the first day, Dominic had someone deliver coffee and other drinks and food to me, or he would get it himself. I was supposed to be the assistant, yet he was the one assisting me.“Can’t I do anything else?” I asked Dominic after placing a file on the coffee table.“I don’t have anything for you

Hayden-A sound outside the door caught my attention. Devon fell to the ground just as the door to the conference room opened. Confused about why she fell since I never touched her, I looked up and saw Dominic enter. Now I knew. Smiling, I stepped over her and went to stand next to Dominic.“What are you still doing here?” Dominic asked, not bothering to look at Devon.“Don’t blame Hayden. She didn’t mean to push me. I was just trying to apologize for burning her with coffee last week.” Devon answered.“I wasn’t asking you.” Dominic kept his attention on me.“I thought I would clean up the conference room before heading back.” I smiled sweetly as I grabbed the sleeve of Dominic’s shirt and tugged on it lightly.Dominic grabbed the files and the laptop out of my hands. Looking over at Devon, I almost laughed when she tried to stand up and cried out in pain. Her hand flew to her ankle. For as long as I have known Dominic, I knew that the damsel in distress act wouldn’t work on him.“Cou

Hayden-“I revised the contract.” Dominic started as he slid a file across the table. “If you…” He stopped talking when Lexus slid the file back.“I didn’t come here to talk business.” Lexus was still staring at me, which made me a little uncomfortable.“If we aren’t here to discuss business, then there isn’t much for us to discuss.” Dominic began to rise.“Hold on a minute.” Lexus put his hand up and motioned for Dominic to sit down. “We used to be friends. I thought we could catch up and ease a little tension between us. If we plan to work together, shouldn’t we get along?”Dominic settled in his chair again, and I noticed his hands were balled into fists. I didn’t know what was happening between them, but it was apparent they weren’t on good terms. Looking across the table at Lexus, I couldn’t help but think he was up to something.“You’re right.” Dominic said through clenched teeth.“Great.” Lexus smiled and then waved his hand at the man next to him. “We can have a few drinks and

Dominic-Hayden bolted out of the elevator before I could stop her. With a heavy sigh, I caught up with Hayden and threw her over my shoulder. She struggled for a bit, but I kept a firm grip around her thighs.“You are going to be the death of me.” I muttered as I carried her outside.I alerted the lobby to have my car ready when we were in the elevator. It was parked out front with the passenger door open. Placing Hayden inside the car, I knelt to buckle her in. She resisted at first, but her movements were weak.After her seatbelt was secure, I shook my head and stood. She had never given me this much trouble before. When our parents were still alive and married, Hayden had followed me around, constantly trying to get me to talk to her. Whenever I told her to do something, she did it without complaint. Now, it was like she was a completely different person.Closing her door, I walked around to the driver's side. Looking over at Hayden, who had already fallen asleep, I stared at her
