WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?
Leadership has nothing to do with the title on your business card or the
size of your office. Leadership is not about how much money you make
or the clothes you wear. Leadership is a philosophy. It's an attitude. It's
a state of mind. And it's available to each one of us.
Here's an example. I spend a lot of my life on airplanes and traveling so
I'm hard on my luggage. The handle on my carry-on luggage broke
after my tour of Russia a few months ago (you have to put a visit to St.
Petersburg on your list of places to visit before you die). Anyway, I take
the piece in to Evex, a dealer in Toronto. The young man at the
counter treated me wonderfully and within a few days, the handle was
fixed.
While in New York a week ago, the handle broke again. I assumed that
I'd have to pay for the repair when I went back into Evex. Most business
put clients through so many hurdles: if you haven't saved the receipt
you are out of luck, if you don't know who did the initial repair we
cannot help you etc etc. Well Evex is different. They just get it. They
understand that without treating their customers well, there is no business.
When I explained that the handle broke again, the young woman at
the counter – without a moment of hesitation – apologized for the
problem I faced. She then said: “We will promise you that you will have
your carry-on in perfect order within 3 days.

Rich People Problems
As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

Boundaries of Love

"Hey, to be fair I apologized. In addition, you did not exactly paid attention to where you are going either! You were on your phone the whole time too, so stop trying to play the victim here!" "I was just trying to find this one room that I was supposed to be teaching in. so if you don't have anything else to say right now, I think you should move out of the way and let me pass." Hearing his response, Arianna was beyond pissed. With disbelieve and mentally cursing the SOB, she replied, "Oh if you think you are the only important being mister teaching assistant. You are dead wrong. See, I am not afraid of you. Here is my phone number in case that laptop of yours is badly damaged and you need the money to fix it. Have a good day, I hope I would have the privilege of not seeing your face ever again." Arianna moved pass the Greek god and head to the room. She arrived there quite on time since her teaching assistant was not there yet. She decided to take some deep breath in the meantime before the teaching assistant arrives. 20 minutes passed and everyone getting impatient and starting to think the seminar was cancelled. When people starting to get up to leave, the door swings open and a deep baritone voice said, "Sorry I was late class, I broke my laptop this morning so I have to get it fixed..." and he looked at me and said, "You". Holy mother of cows. With that one word, Arianna froze in place. Just her luck, that baritone voice belongs to the man that ran her over this morning.Terminé

BEING HIS ASSISTANT
"Oh shit" I heard as I was in a deep slumber. "Fuck" I heard someone growling again this time loud enough to wake me out of my sleep. I heard soft muffles after. What the hell? I saw the same flight attendant walking out of what I assumed was the bathroom. She had some white liquid on her mouth and when she realized the look on my face she quickly wiped her mouth. Not soon after Justin walked out fixing the belt in his pants. You have got to be kidding me. "Next time be more quite will you?" I snapped as he sat down. "Did you prefer I wake you to give me head?" He answered back. To say that I was surprised and utterly embarrassed was an understatement. My eyes popped out of my head and my mouth was wide open. "That's what I thought" he smirked and went on his phone. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and buckled up when I heard the pilot stating that we'd land soon. ************ #1 justinbieber out of 24.1k stories - 22.09.24 #287 officeromance out of 6.21k stories - 22.09.24 #745 arrogant out of 13.3k stories - 22.09.24 #56 justinbieber out of 24.1k stories - 07.08.24 #309 officeromance out of 5.95k stories - 07.08.24 #618 arrogant out of 13.2k stories - 07.08.24 #82 justinbieber out of 24.6k stories - 13.04.23 #49 officeromance out of 3.95k stories - 13.04.23 #264 ceo out of 27.6k stories - 29.03.23 #911 billionaire out of 39.5k stories - 29.03.23Terminé
Our darling employee~(Yandere Various CEO harem x Male worker reader.)
(DISCONTINUED!) In a modern alternative world, there is a government job system where an employee from any workplace has the chance of not only touring six of the most powerful companies in the nation and world but also work along the CEO'S of those companies. But there is a catch to all of this, you have to stay with them for an entire month before you can move on to the next company and you will be 'persuaded' by other company representatives to join them with more intriguing benefits and such. If you fail to meet that requirement, then you will receive a "punishment" of god knows what and disappear without a trace and no-one dares to find out why as these companies have people to their grip in a way, so all workers both entry and pro all got to participate who some successful but others failed.. But you, it will be a different turn of events. You see, you are a simple humble reader who lives and breaths work, you enjoy your job and is kind and caring for both your customers and coworkers alike. One day, when your manager Lucy signed you up for the program, you thought that this was the most exciting thing ever to happen to you. Late that night, a phone call was all it took to change your life forever and now on the way to your first destination. However, along the way the CEO'S you work with begin to develop feelings towards you and it was not the healthiest kind per say and all begin planning out ways to win you over and be in their grasps forever. What is gonna happen, who will you win you over and will you survive in your new life and the new responsibilities and scenarios that come with with it? This is the story of a working man who simple life gets turned upside down and unknowably has their hearts wrapped around his fingers. Good luck~ Enjoy~Terminé
Barking Mad
Third book after Jaime, and Angelica. Angelica's sons are grown and they are meeting their mate. He had an idea, that was all. He wanted to help his people as a whole. He didn't think he'd be the first to try it out. His life was turned upside down, but maybe that was a good thing. But how does he cope with mates that are more wolf then man? It's hard to have a relationship when your mates don't talk much. (Told from Blake and Andrews mates point of view.) Excerpt: Okay, I admit that this was my idea but, I didn't think that Alpha would send me. Yes, pack exchange would help to freshen packs. Blood, minds, get packs that were stagnant and stuck decades in the past to move forward. I recommended enforcers, warriors and Omega's, positions that would do the most good. I was none of those. I was just a random beta with barely the wolf to keep my position and not fall down a rank. But my alpha said that the other packs were not so keen on doing it. So he was going to lead by example. All known packs were put into a database by the council and random generators paired packs to exchange people. Since alpha wanted to lead, we were first to get paired. We got paired with a pack across the country. My flight out had been uneventful thankfully. Most of my things had been shipped, I had two suitcases of things I was wheeling toward the exit of the airport. Supposedly this pack had sent someone to pick me up. I'm almost to the door when I hear my name called.Terminé
My boss is my freaking Ex?!!!
I, Abigail "Abby" Wilson had no choice but to find a job A.S.A.P as I was kicked out of our house when my grumpy grandmother have had enough of my jobless lazy ass just partying, shopping, and getting drunk. The last straw was when I thought that my grandmother would not be home from a cruise and decided to throw a wild pool party at our house. Just when the party was getting hot my grandmother came home furious and kicked my friends---well, some I didn't even know---out of the house including my sorry Lil ass. I begged and told her that I'd change, but she didn't listen. She said that I could only come back when I proved to her that I'd changed. Well.. To hell with that! Now, I was unwillingly here in the executive office of the CEO of Hamilton Electronics &TelCom International Corp (HETIC); Alexander Hamilton as his executive assistant. I gaped in surprise as the boss whom I'd be working with starting today, sitting impassively on his expensive leather swivel chair was no other than my ex-boyfriend Alex back in high school who just decided to disappear without telling me! What would Abby do? She'd already signed a two-year contract and she couldn't afford to pay the breach of contract as of now. Could she work with him knowing that they had a past? And what was with his attitude? It seemed like he had a secret grudge toward her that she could hardly comprehend. I guessed she had to find that out for herself.Terminé
