I watched the reflection of Hunter talking with the builders on the glass. We were here for inspection. Well, he was here for inspection. He wanted everything to be pitch perfect since it was one of the top projects for the company. Thus, pointing out even the slightest of the mistakes, he sent them off to fix everything.

'Love can thaw what hatred has congealed', my mother always said.All the things that happened with Hunter in the past had filled him with hatred, turning him cold and heartless.

It'll be a long hair-pulling, teeth-gritting and foot-stomping process.“Take off your shirt,” I said for the third time.“No.”“How am I supposed to treat you otherwise?”He took a hold of his sleeve and gave a hard tug, the fabric coming off with a ripping sound as his physiognomy turned into a smug.My lips tilted into a smirk, “Is Hunter King shy?” I wiggled my eyebrows at him.His facial feature turned stony in a matter of seconds. “Four minutes.”

You were the last one to have my laptop," I pressed."I told you I didn't d-""The file didn't disappear itself," I cut him off. I was getting frustrated over this. I checked my laptop just before I left it to him, and the file was still there. It only disappeared after I got it back from him."It did!" he snapped. "Because of your carelessness. I wonder why the boss would keep such a useless fool in the job," he spat out, giving me a disgusted look from head to toe.My blood boiled. "What the hell is your problem?

I stood at the entrance of my room flabbergasted as my eyes scanned the five suitcases that had been packed for me. I averted my gaze to the pack of weird creatures sprawled on my bed exhausted from their weird activity.Since I was busy at work, and Hunter refused to give me another day-off I asked my beloved crew consisting Karen, Anna and Beth to pack for me with Donna's help. Yes, Anna and Beth had been introduced to Karen, and she instantly formed a gang of us.Noticing me Donna immediately pointed a finger at the other three miscreants."Are you guys going as well?" I asked.Beth lifted her head a bit from her awkward lying position, "No? You're going.""You mean all these bags are mine?"

I moaned in pain when another deep voice startled me."What happened here?"I looked up and found those fascinating sea-green eyes scanning me all over, hints of worry visible in between his brows.Was Hunter King worried? For me?"She ate a li'l too much ice cream and got a brain freeze, sir," Megan spoke, hurrying towards me and handing me a warm mug. "Here.

Knock knock..."Mr. King Jr.! Ember, darling! Aren't you awake yet?"Our eyes went wide. Hunter flipped us over untangling the blanket and got up pushing me off him. Letting out a sigh of relief I got up as well. I forgot I had morning breath that certainly didn't smell like fresh mint as him.Peeking from the door I saw a familiar face. "Mrs. Arthur!""Oh, Ember, darling!" She wrapped her hands around me in a bone-crushing hug. "So nice to see you again." Letting go she looked at us both lovingly. "Awe, look at you two love birds!

The day was warm and sunny with a gentle breeze blowing. The breathtaking view of Paris from here as we sat at the breakfast table sipping on tea in our private terrace was kindling various fantasies in my mind. Wait, wait. Let me stop you right there, for it was no romantic time-spending of a married couple but a pressurized working hour of a CEO and his assistant. Yup, he was making me work on such a lovely day.Moving my eyes from the boring papers of a file I looked up and stretched letting out a moan. He, however, ignored my existence as his eyes were glued to his laptop screen.

After dinner I fell asleep waiting, but Hunter never got back in our suite.In the morning I woke up from the sound of the door opening, and he came inside. The first thing that caught my eyes were his disheveled clothes. Without sparing me a glance he strode straight inside the bathroom.Minutes after I started pacing around the room worried, he stepped out of the washroom fresh and ordered.
