Holly watched as her boss made his usual grand entry into the office as if he owned the place. Well technically he did.

               Damn! Can you seriously be that dumb?

               I am not dumb, okay?

          You are!

             Whatever! Just go die!

   

   

             This is how Holly Conners's usual, common and lonely days went. Fighting with herself or hiding from her annoying boss. Oh and enduring her bitch of a brain.

             Excuse me! Did you just call me a bitch?

             What do you think smarty pants?

               Of course I'll have to do all the thinking, since you can't.

              You know sometimes I feel like kicking your butt.

              Ever tried kicking your own butt?

                 "No, I haven't." Came his baritone voice, startling the daylights out of Holly.

               "Did I just say that out loud?" Holly asked.

           

               "No. I can read minds. You know, like Edward Cullen." Ethan joked. Holly just gave him a flat look.

            "Of course you said it out loud." Ethan said while pinching her nose.

                "Mr.Mars, such gestures seem inappropritate in the office." Holly swated his hand away and soothed her now red nose.

               Holly was in no mood for his games today. As it is het day had started being shitty since the moment her parents gave her the deadline.

                Oh, yes! Holly Conners had received a marriage deadline. According to her parents it was abnormal for 26 year old women to not have a boyfriend or a fiance. Holly didn't find anything wrong in that. At least she was not pregnant and a house wife. She was independent and she loved it.

            The worst part of the deadline was the punishment. Her mother choosing a guy for her. Something she did not look forward to. Once she had told her mother that she liked guys with accents. And the next day, there was a snobby, skinny looking guy standing in front of her door. He couldn't even speak properly or may be he had too much of donald duck accent for her to understand.

              If these problems weren't enough, another problem was Ethan Mars. The hot boss with blonde hair and beautiful ocean green eyes. Who wouldn't fall for him? And for that very reason Holly maintained her distance from him. He was pig. He was big, annoyingly handsome pig.

                "What are we thinking about, Holly?" Ethan asked as he trailed down soft kisses on her neck.

              "That you are an annoyingly handsome pig." Holly replied with a sigh.

               Wait! Soft kisses? My neck? DID I JUST CALL MY BOSS A FUCKING PIG?

                  "Uh... what?"

              "Nothing about you, sir. And it is inappropriate to do such things in the office." Holly said as she tried to compose herself.

            "Then would you let me kiss you when we are alone?" Ethan whispered seductively in her ear as she looked utterly uncomfortable.

            "Mr.Mars, it is inappropriate-" Ethan cut her off by dismissively waving his hand and moving towards his office.

                  "Just come in my cabin in ten minutes." He said before going inside. When he turned to look at Holly, she was busy banging her head on her desk and muttering incoherent things.

            Holly Conners sure was something else. Nothing like the women he had dated before and crazy to the core. No part of her was normal and that is what intrigued him the most.

             He had wanted to ask her out since the very day she had come to give the interview. Maximus had been skeptical about giving her the job, she had yet to disappoint them.

             For the past 5 years she had been handling the London branch of their company without having any sort of glitch in the system. She was perfect for him.

           And now he also had the perfect plan hatched to get his perfect woman. Today he would releave some of her stress. It was his duty. After all he was the cause of it.

              He was just about to call for her, when she came in, stumbling on her heels.

                 "Sir, you had called?"

                  "Yes, Holly. How about you take seat?"

              

              Let the story begin....
