Mia's POV

I woke up earlier than usual due to the nerves of going to the job interview. I took a shower to calm the nerves then dressed up in professional attire and took a cab to my job interview at Kingston Corporation.

I definitely couldn't show up riding my bicycle. As soon as I got there and walked in I was shocked at how elegant and modern everything looked. From the floor to the ceiling almost everything was black, white and grey with a few red items to make a pop of color. I walked to the receptionist and gave her my name.

"Hi, I have a job interview with Mr. Kingston at 9 a.m., I am Mia Franco."

She looked at me with no interest then pointed towards a fancy looking chair, "wait there for him, he should be out soon."

I sat down and waited patiently for a couple minutes then started to get impatient as time dragged on. I was happy when the secretary called me up and I followed her towards the office.

I was shocked when I walked in to find the handsome man from the coffee shop. I was expecting an old man with grey hair and eyeglasses but I was shocked to see this beautiful man before my eyes once again. I thought meeting him was once in a lifetime but I was glad I was wrong even if he did seem to have anger issues.

He looked at me with his green eyes but he looked different. His eyes looked cold and distant. All of a sudden there was a change in him and now his voice sounded like raw honey, "sit down please," he said charmingly.

I was kind of disappointed because he did not remember me from yesterday but then again I was covered in coffee so it's understandable. He said "Good morning, I am Alexander Kingston and you are?" then looked at his folder and continued "Look if you want the job it's yours, just read the hours, pay and stipulations then sign there and Savannah, your trainer, will be showing you around tomorrow." He threw a crooked smile towards me and my breath caught in my throat at how handsome he looked.

I was confused as to why there were no questions and he just gave me the job. I was expecting it to be a lot harder especially because of my lack of experience.

"Just like that? I mean I'm glad but I don't have any experience...?" I said and immediately regretted it.

"Well if I don't give you a chance you will never have experience now will you?" He smiled charmingly.

"Thank you Mr. Kingston," I said happily since I finally had a job!

"I don't mean to be rude but I have a meeting to attend, I'll walk you out?" He said politely.

"Of course, I'll be here bright and early," I said chirping.

"I'll be waiting," he said in a strange way but then he smiled and I forgot any doubt I had as I walked home.

After I got home and ate I took a nice shower and laid in bed looking through the folder. The rules were the usual. The only shocking thing I read was that I would be his secretary. Addison said I would be a receptionist for the third floor but apparently he had other ideas. I was totally okay with being close to that beautiful man and to add to that the pay was fabulous. It meant if I could save up enough then I could dedicate myself to painting for a while. I let my eyes close while I smiled because everything seemed to be working out now.

I opened my eyes to an annoying ringing and realized it was my phone. I quickly answered with a groggy voice, "hello?".

When Mr. Kingston answered with his sweet velvety voice I sat up rapidly, "hello, sorry to be calling this late.. I just wanted to see how you were".

I was confused, it seemed a little unprofessional.. Why would he care how I was?
"What?"

He stammered a little then said "I meant to see how you were doing with the guidelines... Was everything clear?"

"Yeah it was... I am your new secretary..?" I said sounding more like a question.

"Yeah you are, would that be a problem?"

"No of course not. Thank you so much for the opportunity."

"Alright well I'll let you sleep so you're well rested for tomorrow, good night Ms. Franco." He said with a smile in his voice.

"Good night, Mr. Kingston," I said trying to hide my excitement. No boss calls their new employee to ask how they are. But why would he care so much about me? He is definitely out of my league so he couldn't be attracted could he? After all he did give me a job I did not deserve...

After that I rolled around in bed for a couple hours until I could sleep again. I wanted to be ready for my first day of work. Every time I closed my eyes all I could think of was his call. Did he really want to know how I was?

Alex's POV

I was feeling lucky after Mia showed up at my office. I had spent the last two years paying private investigators to look for her and it was useless. I could not believe that without me even trying she just walked into my office asking for a job. Everything was working perfectly. I would make her pay.

My mother always explained to me that revenge was a horrible thing and it would turn your heart dark but I did not care. I had a loving family. A loving father who is now dead because of her.

I sat on my chair thinking back to the last time I saw my dad. It was two years ago. I had just turned 22 and I was trying to take silly pictures of my siblings with my phone. My mom was laughing so hard tears fell down her cheeks.

All of a sudden, my dad walked in with his bags packed. He faced us and told us he was leaving. My mom was confused and thought he was leaving on a business trip.

He explained to us that he had met another woman and he loved her more than anything. He told us he loved us as well but he had to leave and follow his happiness with her. He said "Mia is amazing... I just can't stay here anymore while lying to all of you and she's gone now. She's leaving to stay away from me so she doesn't hurt you but I need her in my life."

My mom was crying but this time it was shock, anger and sadness.  Dad took everything he owned then got into his car and sped away.

I was hurt but I got in the car and followed him. I sped up and caught a glimpse of the blonde girl but I couldn't make out her face too well. She turned around to see my dad's car and seemed to be trying to escape from him.

All off a sudden I heard a loud screech and I saw my dad's car skid on the road. He lost control of the car and crashed against the concrete wall separating the road. Just like that he was taken from me because that girl tricked him into loving her. He definitely did not mean much to her if she left him and sped away after he crashed.

I clench my fist and try to breathe deeply to relax. I can see why my dad fell attracted to her now, she just seems sweet and innocent. Her big blue eyes just seemed so warm... And her beautiful body had me drooling in my mind. She looked upset when I pretended I did not remember her but who could forget a body like that.

Now that she will be my new secretary I am going to have to learn to control myself. I have always said when I am in the office I am all work and outside of the office that's when I can play hard.

My last secretary will definitely be upset, she was nice and all but I had to move her to the receptionist position in the third floor so I could keep Mia close.

I opened the folder with Mia's information and started to read through. She graduated from high school and went to college to study art and from what I can see she is a painter. She played volleyball in high school and was good at it. Her parents seemed like nice folks and she has a younger brother.

I logged onto my computer and searched her name. Online there was not much to find except a couple art pieces she put up to sell. I immediately went to the page and bought all five of them spending around 1,000 dollars. I shipped them to my office with express shipping. This meant they would be here tomorrow morning. This would be my way into her heart.

I closed my laptop and dialed her number and she answered before I could muster up a good excuse as to why I called her. After we hung up and I made a fool of myself I covered my face and ran my fingers through my hair. I shouldn't have called that way. I got up angrily and left the office then drove to my mansion in the Mercedes. If I want my plan to work I need to be relaxed. I needed a distraction. I stopped by a local bar and drank up all my thoughts. Damn Mia.
