blouse when I noticed a man walking toward me, he was dressed in a very expensive dark blue suit with a white button-down collared shirt and no tie. His hair was slicked back and he had an incredible grin on his face. He was the kind of man I would have been all over three years ago.
“ Are you ok miss? He asked. ” I stood there staring at him like I was mute or something. The man spoke again. “ Miss, do you need medical attention? ”
Snap out of it Gabby. “ Oh no, no I am sorry. It ’ s been a long morning already. That just caught me off guard. But thank you, I will survive, ” I said with a smile.
“ Ok, have a nice day and try to not get run over, alright? ” he said as he flashed his wickedly awesome smile once more. I nodded my head and he left. I picked up my things and headed into work. Checking my watch, I realized I was now eight minutes late on the first day of my new promotion. Awesome. Let ’ s get this day over with already.
Sitting down at my desk, I logged into my email and saw that I had a new message from Becca, the office coordinator, telling me that I have an impromptu meeting this morning with the new owner and CEO. Crap. What gives today? I feel like I am on an episode of Pranked or something. Coffee, I need coffee. I grabbed my mug and headed into the kitchen to get a cup.
On my way, my mind drifted back to the man in the parking lot. He didn ’ t look much older than me and I felt like the more I thought about him the more I wondered why the man made me so nervous. I felt as if I had seen him somewhere before. Probably not in the kind of places I used to hang around, from the looks of him. I quickly distracted myself with my coffee, because he was literally the most beautiful man I had ever lain eyes on. Once I got back to my desk, I knew I was limited on time before the meeting. I had about a half hour to get some work done and get my mind right. Taking a deep breath, I started my day.
I was sitting in the conference room waiting for the meeting to start, listening to the women in my office drool and talk about the new CEO.
“ Oh my gosh, you have no idea how good-looking this man is. He can ’ t be more than thirty years old; he can totally make a cougar out of me, ” one woman said.
I didn ’ t socialize much at work because I didn ’ t like to gossip and that was all the women in my office did. I kept to myself and did my work and that is how I got my promotion. I went from being a secretary to an executive assistant, and I was really proud of myself. I worked really hard to get where I am for my son and for myself.
The entire room went silent when the door swung open. I picked up my pen and pad of paper and looked to my left, and about fell out of my chair. In walked the man from the parking lot who literally took my breath away. Great. Just friggin ’ great.

I could feel how red my skin was and I was thanking God that I was in the back of the room so no one would notice.
“ Good morning everyone, my name is Jace Greene and I am the new CEO of Greene Incorporated. Yes, I am related to the Greene family. My grandfather founded this company and I am now left in charge. I want to thank you all for coming to this meeting on such short notice, ” he said.
Geez the man was flawless, his facial features looked like he just stepped out of a GQ magazine.
All of the women in the room were swooning during the meeting, which would normally make me roll my eyes except that I was swooning as well. This is ridiculous Gabby, get a grip; the man is now your boss. I had to admit that made things even hotter for me, but that was beside the point. He is now my boss. If I keep saying it, maybe I will stop blushing every time he looks this way.
“ In the next few weeks I ’ m afraid you are going to see some dramatic changes in this company. I apologize in advance, but my grandfather and his other colleagues did a horrible job of running things. I am going to see
