Introduction
"What happened last night was a mistake. We both had too much to drink and one thing led to another. It was an act of alcohol and nothing more. I don't have any feelings for you whatsoever. You're my employee and that's all you'll ever be." - Evan Hollen Taking in his father's footsteps, Evan Hollen became successful and the new CEO of Hollen Tower at the age of twenty-five. His handsome features made him a catch with the ladies, and he played the field with them because he wanted nothing more. He was heartless and selfish. But, through his arrogance and egotistical ways, his assistant developed a strong liking for him. Then, one fateful night together, everything changed.

Chapter

  Jasmine's POV

  "This can't be the proposition she was going on and on about for weeks with her annoying ass voice, which always makes my damn ears ring! Miss Rhino can't be serious! This has absolutely no benefits or profits behind it and, as matter of fact, if we invest, we would be at a loss! I'm not interested in this. Why the hell did I hire her?"

  He looked at the documents in the folder on his desk I had brought in for him by his Chief Operating Officer, Miss Rhino.

  "Get Ms. Rhino on the line and instruct her to find herself in my office immediately!"

  "Yes sir," I answered sharply.

  "And, Miss Blackman, reorganise my schedule for the upcoming week. Cancel that nonsensical meeting with Mr. Hoggers since I'm not interested in investing one billion dollars in his shitty business. Also, fax those documents to the sixth level and proofread these for me before one p.m. And can you send Julia a bouquet of white roses with a note attach to it that reads 'thank you' and get my father on the line," he ordered.

  I nodded yes and took two stacks of paper from his hands and exited his office immediately.

  I called Ms. Rhino and informed her that she was needed in Mr. Hollen's office.

  "Sir, your father is on line one," I said once I had phoned his father.

  "Mmmh," he answered back and took the other line.

  I ordered the bouquet of white roses and had it delivered over to Julia's apartment then began faxing the documents to the sixth level as he said.

  Afterwards, I began to proofread the other stack of papers he had given me. I would call Mr. Hoggers last because I knew he would request to speak to Mr. Hollen directly, and since he was on the phone with his father, and Miss. Rhino was on the way to see him, he wouldn't appreciate being distracted by Mr. Hoggers' call.

  Evan Hollen was my boss and a very successful, rich and powerful one. I had been working for the company for a total of one year. Finishing college, it was a drag finding a decent job that paid well within my city but, lucky for me, I applied to Hollen Tower when I saw an ad in a newspaper for a personal assistant role.

  Hollen Tower was established and operated by his father before him. The company was one of the most successful and well developed organizations around the world. A great cooperative, solid partnerships, and a body of well-educated and experienced and trained staff took the company to its highest peak, and Evan Hollen stood above it with his father's relinquished crown and well-deserved title. He would be damned if anyone tried to damage what his father started and worked so hard for. He had the temper of a shark, the personality of a dragon, and the untimely patience of a baby.

  But let's not forget about his best features. His dark, silver grey eyes were everything. His sexy fit body always carved sharply in his expensive Armani suits. Okay, you got me. I had the biggest and most unstoppable crush on my boss and I couldn't help myself. Evan Hollen was too fine not to have a crush on.

  It's okay to have a secret crush on a very attractive man, right? Even if he is your boss.

  "Miss. Blackman! Can I be buzzed in please!"

  A voice snapped me right out of my lustful thoughts.

  Ms. Rhino was at my desk, pencils and folders in hands, and tapping her left foot impatiently on the tiled floor.

  "Yes, one moment please," I responded, putting the images of my boss to the far back of my mind.

  I called Mr. Hollen's line and informed him that she was here. After he told me to let her in, I hit the buzzer and she strolled into his office with her head held high. She always thought she was above everyone else working at Hollen Tower. I hated the best bone in that woman. 

  She was a tall, slim woman with pale cream skin. She was thirty years old but she liked younger men like Mr. Hollen. There was once a rumor circulating about the two of them but I found that very hard to believe. She still had the body of a model, but she was utterly not his type. The woman had a personality of a beast and she thought she was better than everyone in the company, except Mr. Hollen of course. She possessed a high position, she was the COO after all, but she still had to answer to Mr. Hollen.

  I continued to proofread the documents in front of me, making the necessary changes and corrections. I enjoyed my job because it made life easier for Mr. Hollen. He had a personal assistant but he fired her on the spot when she developed feelings for him and began flirting with him in his office, and, since then, he hadn't hired another one. I was the one doing the duties a personal assistant ought to be doing, plus my secretarial duties, but I didn't mind or complain one bit in light of the fact that I was being paid double my monthly salary until he hired another personal assistant.

  He should get a male assistant who doesn't have a thing for the handsome boss.

  The ladies always lusted and drooled over him, always wanted his attention and time, always talked about him. He was indeed handsome, one of the most handsome man I'd ever laid my eyes on. His skin tone was perfectly tanned and I always wondered why.
