-ANASTASIA-“Guys I don’t have the time to make cookies.” I said at a pouting Priya and Cain, Nathan got called for an urgent meeting so he delayed the flight for two hours finally giving me the time to pack. “Also didn’t you see the kitchen? Where will I make them?”And I called these two, in the hopes of getting some sort of help but they have been messing around from the time they arrived. Sighing Priya stood up, “Fine, you can go get Helena’s stuff, we will start packing yours.”“Thank you.” We hurried in three directions. Cain went to make sure Helena wasn’t alone and she had a knack of being fussy exactly when there isn’t time. I went into her room and opened her mini trolley.What am I supposed to pack for Helena? Clothes. I neatly folded a bunch of her onesie and a few dresses. I put in her favorite milk bottle and some of her beloved toys. Within half a

-ANASTASIA-“Did you get leave from the office, dear?” My father asked taking another serving of quiche. I nodded my head. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t get it but if I said that my mother might pinch my ears. “They sure are lenient considering the year long gap you had taken.”I glanced at Nathan with a sly smile. “What can I say? My boss is very influential indeed.” Nathan smirked. We were leaving after breakfast but my mother had decided to delay it to the most by making an extremely large breakfast.After saying one last goodbye to Helena we left for Maldives. Would you call me excited? I don’t know, seeing a new place is always great but twelve days alone with Nathan would be something as well.‘When have you taken an unexpected trip? Not an emergency but for leisure… I find it weird writing in a plane but that is how life is. I am not going to tell you curious ones

 -ANASTASIA-The interview would start in ten minutes and I am still panicking on what to wear. I had managed to find a decent blouse from the outrageous clothes that Cain had packed but I couldn’t find a matching pant.I know you are wondering if I am worried about Nathan walking in on us then I have everything planned. I told him I had a headache and wouldn’t be able to work out today and he is in the gym building more muscles. I didn’t tell him per say, I texted him.After you know... whatever happened in the gym, we didn’t get the chance to talk not that I am looking forward to it but only if he wanted to say anything. The laptop chimed with the link to the interview, my palms were sweating as I sat down in front of it.Someone admitted me and I wiped the last bead of sweat before switching on the camera. I smiled at the man watching me from the camera. “Good morning Mrs. Dominic, I am Chad Melendez

-ANASTASIA-The sunlight oozed through the window reminding me of my carelessness. I should have closed the curtains especially when we have long windows almost the size of the door. Nathan groaned beside me. “Close the curtains Monroe.”I turned around towards him so that the light didn’t hit my eyes. “You do it.” I mumbled.“Please, I will take you for sightseeing if you close the damn curtains.”Opening one eye I saw his hand covering his eyes. “With no guards around?” he stayed silent for a few seconds that I thought he didn’t want me to close the curtains. Fine with me. Just as I closed my eyes, I heard him groan. I opened my eyes again, he was nodding his head making me smile. “a deal I can’t deny.”I got up and closed the curtains before climbing back into the bed. With one hand he pulled me closer to his chest, I tried to wiggle out of him but he

-ANASTASIA-The next part of my plan is completely dependent on luck. I scrolled through her pictures in social media, she is ought to have something. I looked at Nathan working on his laptop and sighed. “Take a break Nathan.”He shook his head. “the entire day was a break. And I need to complete this tonight. Stat.”Rolling my eyes, I clicked on one of her pictures with a background that was really interesting. “Nathan, do you take assistants when you go to a different country?”He didn’t answer me so I threw a pillow at him which he caught without taking his eyes off the laptop. “Yes. Most of the time, why?”Uh… “One of my friends is looking to be an assistant so she had this doubt.” He closed the laptop and gave me a look that said he knew I was lying. “I am serious. Her name is Rachel, she works for us in the publishing office... now that I remember
