Two people from different worlds collide with one keeping a secret from the other. Both of their secrets threaten to destroy each other. Little did they know, happiness was destined to be short lived for them. Instead of happiness, secrets fill the...
The day they met was such an ordinary day. The british weather opened up the heavens once again for the fifth day in a row. People even wondered when this heavy storm was ever going to end.
As the rain drops poured a woman in her twenties walked casually with confidence along with her minions desperately trying to keep up beside her whilst holding an umbrella above her head.
The Woman was no ordinary Woman for she was the Ceo (Chief Executive Officer) of Phoenix Books. A business she had built herself from the ground up.
But this business was no ordinary business either, Not only does she make sure words get on paper and help many authors around the world but she specializes in restoring old books aswell.
Lila Jones had everything that everybody wishes that they had but at the same time there was something special about her. Not only is she careful about who she hires but she not only hires the most experienced at the job but she also gives people less experienced a chance too.
And that was what made it easy pickings for Connor Lewis. He was the opposite of who Lila Jones really is. In reality he's a thief, A conman to be precise.
He was thinking how easy his job was going to be just as he watched her out the cafe window as she came down the street to the cafe's front door and entered it. She heads straight for the cafe desk and orders. "I want a strong cup of tea with two sugars and a tiny bit of milk.."
The minion beside her pleads with the cafe owner. "For god's sake make it good otherwise one of us might get fired, She might have given somebody like me with no grades to my name a second chance but she really is a hard taskmaster."
Lila raises her eyebrow and looks at her minon and empties her throat, "Excuse me, Are you Complaining?" Her MInion looks back at her nervously, "No of course not, MIss Jones."
Lila turns back to the cafe owner who passes her the drink that she ordered and makes her way back towards the exit. Connor watches as she walks alongside the tables where he sat and just at the right moment he puts his foot out.
Everything happens so fast. She trips over his foot and spills her drink everywhere including over Connor. Which causes her to spin and almost slip so Connor swoops in to catch her in his arms. She smiles at him. "My hero, However Can I thank you?"
He helps her stand upright and smiles at her. "No thanks necessary ma'am."
She looks at him properly for the first time now that she was upright and gasps at his neck and chest and hands. They were burnt and painfully scolded by the tea that she had ordered. "I am so sorry!"
He smiles back at her awkwardy. "No apologies necessary ma'am," He looks at his hands and chest. "It doesn't hurt a bit.
He suddenly sways from side to side and collapses to the floor. Lila yells at her minion that complained earlier about losing her job. "Call an Ambulance now!"
The minion does as she requested and dials 999. "Ambulance please, A man has just had tea spilled all over him and collapsed, I think he fainted."
