The Assistant

"I know you feel the same thing I do, Charlotte. When are you going to realize that it's impossible for us to be just friends?"

He was right. Working with him, being his friend, it was all too hard. Coming to work everyday and seeing his hard face soften only for me, it makes me want to hug him and never let go, but...

"We can't ever be more than friends, Charles. I don't have time to waste on a man that's only going to break my heart in the long run."

He looked at me and his face visibly turned from confused to sympathetic.

"Princess...You don't understand. I want you and only you. I want to spend forever with you, 'till death do us part. I want a life with you Charlotte. This isn't some fling that I plan on ending after a few months."

Tears started forming in my eyes. I realized in this moment that I loved Charlie Romano. I wanted to be with him so badly, and for a second I ignored my mind telling me it would never work, and listened to my heart telling me that Charlie was the one.

"I love you, Charlie Romano."
------------------------------------------

Charlie Romano is unhappy with his life, precisely the place he works: Romano Industries. He had it all, the money, the power, the popularity, but he wasn't your typical money hungry man. He could care less about all of those things for he only wanted one: love.

Charlotte Prescott has her entire life planned out, from the day she graduated college, to the job she dreamed of getting, and she doesn't have time for any shenanigans. She works hard to get what she wants and she's not letting anything get in her way, especially not useless men who don't know the first thing about making a woman happy. She wants one thing: to be successful, and her plans aren't changing anytime soon.

What happens when these two worlds are collided creating one giant mess of love and lust?
Will Charlotte give in to her heart's longing or will she kick her feelings to the curb?
