Chapter One

.......................................

LILIANA POV

If hatred could kill, Alexander Winston will be six feet under by now

Liliana Williams stared blanky at her reflection in the elevator's mirrored wall. Lips painted ,hair curled ,dress pressed , everything looked perfect ,yet nothing felt right.

How could one man be infuriating ...and so impossibly magnetic ?

He wasn't just her boss ,he was the Alexander Winston the CEO of LILLY and LACE .

Ruthless, brilliant and Completely unaware of the chaos in caused inside her

It's just a job,she remained herself as the elevator dinged.

She stepped out of the elevator the smell of coffee filled the hall way , she stood in front of a door with a sign "The boss" she gluped and knocked on the door waiting for a response.

   "Come in" came out a deep, muscular voice

She walked in and was amazed at the beauty of the office,well arranged book and files everything seems perfect

"You aren't going to stand there and stare" came out the deep muscular voice again.

"Good morning sir" she bowed

He gestured her to come closer

She walked closer and sat down on the chair,he passed her a file to read.

"Read it carefully" he said

She took the file and started reading, after reading the file she signed her name.

"Be here always by 7:00am" he stated

She nodded slightly

"Words miss Lilana" he said

"Ok sir" she said

He nodded slightly"You can leave now, my PA will show your office and will teach all you need to know " he said

She turned to leave ,her heels clicking softly against the polished floor ,but something about his gaze on her back made her spain stiffen . Was he always this intense , or was it just her imagination running wild again?

Outside his office a young woman with warm eyes and bright smile was waiting .

"You must be miss Williams! I'm Trisha , Mr Winston's Personal assistant."Come with me, I'll will show you around".

Liliana follwed her through a glass corridor that overlooked the city skyline . The entire floor looked like something out a luxury magazine , minimalist ,sleek and intimidatingly perfect.

"You're lucky ", Trisha said as they stopped at a door with Liliana's name already on a golden tag.

"Most people don't even get a meeting with Mr Winston, let alone a direct conversation ".

Lucky? That wasn't how Liliana felt

As they stepped into the office ,she was greeted by soft lavender scent and sunlight pouring on through the window . Her desk was spotless , a brand new laptop sat on it with sticky notes nealty placed beside it .

"I'll send the orientation files and daily schedule ". Trisha continue ."And...a little tip Mr Winston's hates lateness more than a bad coffee

Liliana nodded , hiding her nerves behind a small smile .

Once alone she sat at her desk and let out a deep sigh. Her fingers grazed the smooth surface of the table before pulling open the laptop . The welcome screen blinked at her like an invitation or a warning

She thought she was ready for this . She had prepped , planned,and promised she wouldn't fell apart in front of him.

But now that she was here under the same roof as Alexander Winston it was different. Everything felt too real . Too dangerous .

Her phone buzzed  beside her . A message from her best friend

"You got this, Lil's. Don't let some fine faced billionaire throw you off".

Liliana smiled

Too late for that

Chapter Two

Alexander Pov

She was trouble, wrapped in silk and stubbornness . From the moment she walked into office, I know Liliana Williams wasn't going to make this easy. Not the job. Not even my peace of mind

Lost in thought he didn't knew he called his assistant for the past few minutes,she stood there looking at her boss.

"Sir, you called me"Trisha said

"Oh.. you're here already "he said

"Have been standing here for a very long time ". She replied

" How's everything going " he asked

She already knows what he was talking about

"Everything is under control sir". She replied calmly

He nodded and told her to leave.

The door of his office opened and she walked in and bowed

"You called for me ". Came out her small but melodic voice.

" When's my meeting with Mr Black". He asked trying hard not to sound ugly or mean

"By 2pm sir". She replied

He wanted her to stop acting like an angel, it gets him more annoyed but he was trying not to lose his cool.

"You may leave". He said "and knock before you enter next time". He stated

He didn't get any response but a door shut

She was barely out of the door when I let out a long breath I hadn't realized I was holding . There was something about Liliana the way she carries her self ,the way her sparked with fire. She was professional, yes. But behind the politeness I saw it the defiance . The challenge .

And damnit , I liked it  more than I should

I turned my chair , facing the glass wall behind me. The city buzzed

But my thoughts was louder. This wasn't supposed to be complicated . She was just another employee . Another employee with heels and confidence.

So why did I find myself waiting to hear her voice ? Watching the clock? Wondering what she thought of me ?

A knock pulled me from my spiral

"Come in", I said , already knowing who it was

Liliana peeked in again holding a small notepad "Sir, your 2pm meeting has been moved.Mr. Black had an emergency ".

I nodded, keeping my voice even." Noted".

She paused almost as if expecting more.

But I said nothing

Because if I open my mouth now, I wasn't sure I'd be able to say only what I should.

Hey guys my name is Abigail

This my first time writing in novel toon

I stepped out of Mr Winston office and closed the door quietly behind me I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Working with him was more harder than I expected. He doesn't say less then three words and it's annoying, he doesn't show any emotion.

"Miss Lilian".A voice called from behind. She turned to see a young handsome guy jogging towards her

"Hey....do I know you?" She asked, a bit confused

"Michael Ivan". he said, offering a quick smile

"Okay, I'm Liliana", She said politely

"So I was wondering ...if you might be free tonight the CEO is throwing a ground party for his employees",

" I don't know... but do you need help with something", She asked, still unsure why he was telling her

"Actually I was hoping you'd be my date". He said grinning

She smiled,"I don't think so Michael".

"Why not?Has someone already asked you out?"

"Nope. I'm just not interested in the party. I have alot of work to do". She said politely

"Okay Then". he said and walked off, looking slightly disappointed

"Gosh!, what was that".She exclaimed calmly

Later in the evening , employees are leaving the company to grab what they needed for the party. Liliana was at her desk , packing up her files and materials, about ready to call it a day. Just as she reached for her bag,the telephone on her desk rang

" Miss Liliana, to my office. Now".Mr Winston's came through ,firm and abrupt . He hunged up before she could respond

She sighed and dropped the files she had already gathered. Why did he always wait till the last minute?.

She stood up brushed down her skirt and walked to Mr Winston's office . Her heels clicked softly against the floor as her mind reaced.

Did something go wrong?Did I make any mistake?

She knocked gently and opened the door after hearing his voice

"Come in", he said not looking up from his laptop

She stepped inside and stood by the desk waiting for him to speak . The room was quite forfew seconds before he finally looked up at her

"Why aren't you getting ready for the party?". He asked his tone flat

" I didn't plan to attend sir ". She replied calmly

He leaned back in his chair watching her closely "you're part of this company now, Miss Liliana Your presence is expected ". He stated

" Sir but..".

"No buts, Miss Liliana ". He said firmly cutting her off "Go to the employee  changing room to change".

She nodded reluctantly "ok sir ".

Without another word she turned and left the office
