I sat in my leather seat with my eyes shut, a blissful smile on my face.

My fingers lightly tapped on the arm rest as I hummed a soft tune.

Slowly opening my eyes, I peered out my office's window.

I faced away from my glass desk and looked through the transparent windows that played the role of walls.

There was a beautiful view of the city and I couldn't help but stare like I have been for the past few months.

It had been months. I now owned my own company; Peterson's Industries. To carry on my parents legacy, I also associated with the selling and purchasing of expensive, rare and almost ancient jewelry. I also opened up a couple of stores named after my mothers maiden name in her honour.

At first, it was a struggle. I had to pick up from where Marcus had so abruptly left off. However, with the help of Celeste and Sanders Industries, I was up on my own feet and in control.

I hired many new workers that Marcus had fired previously over spite and for self amusement.

I was now a well known business women amongst the business world and it was great. I finally received the life I wanted and deserved.

Through out my plan of revenge and identity as Victoria, I never planned on meeting someone. Or even falling in love.

But then I found Alexander.

Just as a small smile formed across my face, I felt a soft peck against my cheek and I grinned, knowing very well who those lips belonged to.

I turned around in my chair and looked up to see Alexander smiling down at me. He placed each of his hands on the arm rests on either side of me and tilted his head.

His soft smile and quiet gaze had me amused.

"Mr Celeste?" I said in a fake formal voice, "-is there anything I could possibly help you with?"

He leaned down closer and smirked.

"Well Ms Peterson," he said in a smug voice, "-there is one little thing..."

Trailing off, Alexander lowered his eyes towards my lips and he grinned as he placed his lips on mine.

I was smiling from ear to ear as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pushed him closer.

Before anything could get further than a kiss, I leaned back and gave Alexander a sweet smile.

"Was there anything you really needed?" I asked in my neutral tone as Alexander stood up straight.

"No," he said dismissively, "-did I need an excuse to come see you?" he asked in somewhat disappointment and I rolled my eyes.

I placed my hands on my knees and stood up with a smug look.

I rewrapped my arms around Alexanders waist this time and he pulled me closer.

"Of course not," I batted my lashes and Alexander tried not to smile.

Before we could get into further conversation, the door to my office was pushed open and my head snapped towards the door.

Quinton came in with a large smile as he pulled his scarf off. My secretary looked alarmed as she tried to stop Quinton and Quinton gave the blonde an odd look.

"Samantha," Quinton said in distaste, "-get your secretary off of me."

I stepped away from Alexander and couldn't help but laugh a little.
