Lucian Alderidge likes things particular. Perfect one would say 
That is why he is the best 
That's why his business is successful. He is one of the top lawyers around, owning his own business and commanding his employees to follow suit.

Yet he is cold, lonely, distant from family and unable to convey his emotions 

Viviana Romero however, is a mess 
A chaotic and panicked secretary that falls over her own feet to make things perfect for her boss 
With little thanks for it. 
His life is perfect because she makes it that way.
His business is successful because she keeps him running 

And she wears her heart bare for many to see 

So when she hands him her resignation, he is... fine
He tells himself he's fine 
Because she's just a secretary 
But when he has to bring in someone else, he begins to realise just how much he needs Viviana 
Just how much he thinks of her 
And stares at her 
And... wants her

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*
