While she works for him, he notices something as well...that the rumor about her luck might not be too far fetched. Follow the two in this story as Zoe tries to figure out what secrets her boss has been hiding and he tries to figure out what secrets she can help him uncover.

He asked. ♡♡♡♡ Aurora Daniels, a young exhibition coordinator finding her footing in a new country, runs into a man who had given her the best sex of her life in a one-night stand.
