Strictly Business (ON HOLD)

If she is a fire, then he is the wood.

If he is the lightning, then she is the storm.

They provoke each other, and unknowingly push each other closer to one another.

They are what is left after the world stripped away their outer shells, leaving nothing but a cold, raw core.

Every relationship is brought to an end, whether it be by death or a scarring argument.

For Christian and Alexis, it was due to the harsh society they soon had to face after graduating from college. After parting ways, they were soon left alone to fend for themselves in their new adult life. They each resorted to different methods.

One became a successful businesswoman of her own company.

The other was soon titled as one of the top lawyers in America.

Unfortunate circumstances brought Christian to the edge of despair as he was fired from the law firm, forcing Alexis to employ her ex-bestfriend as the Vice President of management.

The pair agreed to have Christian work until he had enough money to get back onto his feet. What they both didn't plan on was the two falling in love with one another.

Ask the entire office and they will all agree that their bosses' relationship gets as crazy as the business's gross income chart. But Mother Nature always gets her way, and a driving force compels the two to be together no matter what obstacle is thrown on their path as a couple.
