chap 1. Everything is complicated

"Ma'am, someone is looking for you at the front desk" Lia my assistant informs me.

"They go by the name Jayden Grey and claim to be your partner in crime"

"Okay you can send them in I know him thank you, Lia" I thank her and place my signature on the last paper of the book.

Hearing a knock on my office door I loudly

Say a 'come in' and the door swings open in one breeze.

Before I hear "Caroline oh I missed my sweet darling bestie"

"Jayden what do you want?" I look up from my computer.

"Come on be a little happy to see me we haven't seen each other for so long" he complains.

"And with so long you mean yesterday Jay" I gave him a 'you're being dramatic' look.

Which he just ignores as always.

Looking back at my laptop to finish the last design that I've been working on. "C?"

"Hmm what"

"How's the rest of the books doing that you still need to sign" Jayden asks.

"I'm almost done with them just need to do 10 more" I reply knowing I won't be able to finish them anytime soon even if I wanted to. Cause being a CEO and an unknown author is sometimes a little tricky and by sometimes I mean always.

"C, I know you're lying but okay if you need help just ask me I'll gladly help you with the emails and papers, so you could finish the signing faster" Jayden offers.

"Okay don't worry" I give him a smile appreciating the gesture.Caroline

Continuing with typing. I hear the ringing of my phone signaling an incoming call. Picking up I'm greeted with a loud scream of my name coming through my phone.

Jayden looks at me used to this routine of me getting calls from my grandma screaming at the top of her longs.

"CAROLINE!!!"

"Grandma good evening" I greeted her back.

"Caroline you better come home now I haven't seen you in weeks I want to see my granddaughter and you better have a husband when you come"

"Ma I'm really busy, but I'll try to make time you know how difficult it is right now".

"I don't care I want to see my granddaughter and her husband"

"Ma, how am I supposed to bring my husband for you if I don't have one"

"I don't know I just want a grandson in law when you come home, or I'm setting another date up for you" she threatens me sternly.

"Ma, dating and getting married isn't the easiest thing you know that right" I say already feeling an incoming headache.

Looking at Jayden I give him the 'help me' look. But he of course as every other bestie shrugs it off and just laughs at me.

Giving him the middle finger I continue to listen to my grandma yapping about the guy she wants to put me on a date with if I don't find myself a husband in the following week.

After an hour of listening to my grandma yapping she finally decides she is tired and hangs up to rest.

"Well that went like it normally would" Jayden says sitting on the couch in my office scrolling to god knows what.

"I added it to my schedule to be sure I'm prepared" I signal to my time schedule to the big 'grandma calls'.

"Visible" he says amused.

"So when is this soon to be new business partner coming I have things to do"

"I don't know beats me I don't even know the guys name" I say probably sounding irresponsible now but what can I do there is nothing you can find on this guy only thing is known is that he owns a big jewelry company being in the top five around the world not even his age or name is known to the world.

"Well I guess we'll be in the presence of an infamous person" Jayden says jokingly.

"Hmm" I continue signing the books.

When I get I call from Lia that he's here. I tell her that he can come in.

Seconds later the door opens with Lia in the front standing behind her a person I thought I wouldn't see again.

Lia stepping aside when he walks in.

Locking eyes it feels like time freezes around me. It's really him

"M-"
