Julia and Marcus have been best friends since high school, sharing countless memories and always being each other's biggest supporters. As they grow older, they remain inseparable, but life begins to change in unexpected ways. At a young age, Marcus starts his own successful business and hires Julia to be his vice president after years being apart.

Both Marcus and Julia have grown into attractive, accomplished adults, drawing attention wherever they go. Marcus, now a handsome and confident entrepreneur, becomes the object of admiration within the company. Julia, stunning and poised, commands attention as well, and it isn't long before both are pursued by other romantic interests.

At first, they brush off the idea of anything beyond friendship, laughing off their jealousy when the other is approached by a suitor. But soon, that jealousy begins to stir something deeper within them. They both start to question whether these feelings are the end of their long-standing friendship or the beginning of something more profound.

As their relationship becomes more complicated, Marcus and Julia must confront the truth: have they always been in love with each other, or are they about to lose the most important person in their lives? With emotions running high and outside pressure building, they are forced to navigate whether they can remain friends-or if their hearts have been waiting for something much more all along.

"What's with the glare? Just a few admirers for the beauty, West." I smirk, teasing his jealousy. "Because beautiful doesn't justify you sweetheart, you... you're not just beautiful, you're extraordinary. And it drives me mad. I don't want anyone else laying eyes on you. They wouldn't survive the night if they tried." "What will you do about it? Threaten them?" I move closer to him. His hand finds my face, gently stroking my cheek, "If I have to. Anyone who thinks they can take you, better think twice. You are precious to me, you're not just another pretty face. You are mine and I'm yours, and I intend to keep it that way.

"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.*
