It was beautiful. The view. Exquisite and serene. I ran up the hills past those big oak trees. It had to be a dream because never had I felt so alive. There were birds chirping incomprehensible melody, the wind blowing in freedom and there was I running away from him.

He was pleading me to stop and wait for him but I was so excited. I didn't want to stop. I loved the view. I had never been to a place so beautiful. I was panting but I didn't stop. Those hills were calling me.

"Ursula!" I turned around to look at him when I heard him yell my name.

I frowned when I didn't see him. Where did he go?

"Hey! Where did you go?" I yelled on top of my lungs.

I didn't even know his name. I didn't even know who he was. I tightened my bun and turned around only to look at him standing in front of me.

No! It wasn't him. It was someone else with a gross smile on his face. I knew him. I had seen him somewhere. I didn't know where but somewhere. Every cell of my body was filled with fear when he held me by my neck, almost choking me in the process. A huge scream left my mouth and then I felt myself losing consciousness.

I opened my eyes in bafflement only to realise that I was dreaming again. I was covered in sweat and almost panting.

"Hey! You're okay?" I heard Rose's voice. She looked at me with a big frown on her face.

"Yeah" I replied removing the covers.

"Same old dream?" She asked. I nodded my head. I couldn't ever understand why I kept dreaming of the same old dream every time. Who were the men I always saw in my dreams? Why it was same all the time? I had never seen them in real life but in dreams. Who were they?

"Get your ass moving, okay? It's your turn to cook breakfast." Rose yelled at me while mopping the floor.

I inhaled sharply. I didn't even remember the faces I saw in my dream anymore. My memory was so damn sharp, right? It happened every time. I didn't understand what was it. What it had to do with me? Maybe I needed to schedule another appointment with my psychiatrist.

I shook my head and walked toward the kitchen.

"Did you receive the offer letter from Aero Herstellung? I hadn't checked my mails but last night when I went through it, I found they had mailed me the offer letter." Rose said.

I turned to look at her.

"So, you're selected?" I asked. I was suddenly so excited. I just saw the fun that would come along with the stipend we would be getting.

"Yes. Did you check yours?" She asked.

"I'll get your phone." She looked so excited and that was why we were friends. She knew me too well and I knew her too. We lived for endless fun, adventures and of course, I loved trying to get hold of what was forbidden.

She appeared within seconds holding my phone and going through my mails. She instantly looked delighted. She jumped up in the excitement and hugged me right away.

"Oh god! We both will be training in AH." She yelled. We were happy. She was happy for the opportunity and I was happy for the money.

"How about a party tonight?" I asked her. She smiled widely at me. "What else could I expect from you?" Humour left her face and she was dead serious.

"C'mon Rose! It's been a long time. We should go out. We should have fun."

"Been a long time? For what? To shag?" Annoyance was evident on her face.

"Who would say no to it. C'mon, it'll be fun. Don't let your lesbian feelings get into the way." I passed her a flying kiss.

"What the fuck did you say? I'm straight as fuck. And I think you should try on a girl now because you don't seem to like boys anymore." She said with a scowl. I loved how much offended she was whenever I said that.

"Okay, but we are going out tonight. Maybe I'll try on a girl." I winked at her and she grumbled shaking her head. I loved pissing her off. She was so sensitive but adorable.

She got started doing her mopping thing and I got back to heating the leftover garlic prawns. Soon the delicious aroma filled in the kitchen and Rose came rushing holding her plate.

"Serve yourself. I did my work." I told her.

"You're so indolent." She spat.

"Serve for me too, please." I smiled at and before walking to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I came back I saw her munching the garlic prawns. I rushed to sit next to her and dig on my plate.

"Read your letter properly. You have to report to Mr Collins." She said with a smile on her face.

"What?" I frowned.

"Mr Collins? But why?" I gulped. Being a woman who didn't understand ethics, I didn't want to go near that hot married man. I would never be able to write anything. And I didn't want to give in to my brain to get a hold on to the forbidden.

"Yes. In the chain of command section, it's his name. He'll be your guide." She said.

"Guide? Isn't he the CEO? Why would he be guiding me?" I frowned. Didn't he have other important tasks to do?

"Yes and being the owner as well as CEO, it's his duty to make sure that the web content you create must be up to mark. Better be good and don't put the company's reputation on stake." She said stuffing her mouth.

I remembered that sexy male. It was impossible for me to not have hots for him. How could someone be so strikingly handsome? He was so gorgeous. I shook my head. It was bad. It was really bad. He was married. He already had a wife and he didn't want an affair.

What if he wants? The tiny voice in my head said.

Nope! I won't wreck a home. I'd keep my distance and try my best that I don't do anything which would put my internship in danger. I didn't want to be fired. There were a lot of guys out there and I could try whosoever I wanted.

"By the way Ursa, what did he ask you? Your interview was over in two minutes." She said licking her lips.

I remembered my interview with him. I myself didn't know why he offered the internship to me while there were so many eligible candidates. He didn't even ask me anything. As soon as he looked at me he just stared with a huge frown and then asked me to join from Monday, after which he left his office.

"I don't know. He didn't ask anything. He just saw my résumé and asked to join."

"What? Are you saying he didn't shove the stick up your ass?" She frowned.

"No, he didn't-"

"What? Why did he make me so nervous then?"

"Well, you're a genius. Maybe he wanted to test you." I told her.

"He is weird." She said shaking her head.

"No way. He is so hot."

"Shut up! Stop it right now. I know what's on your mind." She shrieked all of a sudden.

"What? I don't have anything on my mind. He is married. We are going to the club tonight. That's it." I said with a voice that she couldn't defy me. I really wanted a glorious night with a nice fuck.
