Chapter 1:
   They say I'm stubborn and mean, but come on. I am not stubborn or mean. I'm a boss of a whole company, and I've been doing great running this place. But some idiot thinks I'm too.... Rude or what he said was a quote-on-quote bitch! I am not rude I am persistent and I like to be the boss but yea I can be a bitch at times... Well because of this minor problem my father has decided to send me some HeLp. Trust me, I'm going to make it so miserable for these new BoSs that they'll quit after an hour tops. Whoever's coming is already late by 30 seconds. I sit on a chair fiddling with the tip of a pencil when I hear Penny call my name.

"NICOLE! The new guy is here!" Penny says outside of my office door. I stand up and stand in front of my gigantic window. I look outside seeing the beautiful view of Paris. I roll my eyes and reply,
"Come in."

Someone enters the door and I continue looking out the window, ignoring the presence of the newcomer. I hear a deep breath and then a few steps closer to me. I got a little scared, I wanted to look behind to see who he or she was. But I wanted them to say something first, you know I wanted to make a clear impression of who's really the boss here.

"Nicole Storm?" I hear a deep male voice. I turn around to see a Man dressed in a black suit, he had a strong build and dark brown messy hair that was laid back professionally. He had really light green eyes almost white. He gave me a smile or you could say a devilish smirk as I examined him. I rolled my eyes trying to ignore how good he looked and said,

"and you are..?"

"Christian Wilder." He said giving me a wink.

He's a Wilder, why am I not surprised. The Wilders had been friends with my father for decades. I never knew Mr. Wilder had a son and I had never met him either.

"I know your father so how come I've never met you?"
He took a second and then replied,

"Well, I and my father don't get along very well, He passed away 3 months ago so I get his company since he's gone... the thing is I have to prove myself or something so here I am partnering up with you."

"For how long-?

"Well for at least 2 months then I'm back to my own company."

"Who the hell is taking care of your company right now while you're gone?"
" A trustable friend and my father's high partners."

"hmm ok but you have no experience in this business world, meaning your no help to me Wilder."
"What do you think, I know nothing about business? Storm last time I checked we're partners I know how to handle this place as well as you."

I give him a death stare, trying to ignore his arrogance, I took a deep breath and said in a harsh tone,

"Well, if you think you're as good as me, let's see how you survive two months in MY company."

"darling I think you mean our company." He put a devilish smirk again and I rolled my eyes once again as well. He continued, " I need an office, or are you willing to share?"

"ugh NO, ill have you have your own office. Here this is the office number and my phone number, just show Penny who's outside the door and she'll give you some work to do and she'll show you to your new office for the remaining two months." I put on a fake smile trying to hide my laughter. He looked down at the paper and rolled his eyes expecting or knowing that this office is probably trash. And he guessed right. I smiled and pointed my finger to the door. He looked at me for a minute and then decided to go outside and talk to Penny. He left the room and I stared at the window again which was behind me. I laughed knowing this was going to be fun. Tormenting his life has become my new game. I smiled and looked at my phone. 'New Message from: Christian Wilder.' I unlocked my phone to check his message. 'call me NOW!' I hysterically started to laugh. I remind myself of an evil queen sometimes. Christian starts to call my phone, I look at my screen in hesitation for a second but then i get my head back in the game and pick up.

"How can I help you, Wilder?"

"Ms. Storm, You're forgetting I'm your partner. I won't be staying in this trashy office but... you might have to though."
"excuse me, Mr. Wilder last time I checked your new and I've been running this place for 2 years, that will be your office and I will not be changing my mind." He laughed and replied,

"I talked to your father a minute ago Nicole darling I'm sorry but we either share your humongous office or... you take the trashy office on floor 2."
My cheeks turn red, I start to feel the burning fire inside me. The anger builds up even more listening to him laugh hysterically. I wanna slap him or stomp on him or bury him alive!

"So, You wanna play this game dirty huh, well get ready for war Wilder!"

I cut the phone and slam it against MY desk. Which I'd be sharing now with some stranger. He's got looks but the rest of him is just total arrogance! I know I'm childish but I like things my way... and Christian clearly liked his way. Either way, I'm gonna make it a living hell for him and I'm going to make sure I win this little war.
