Alissa woke up as her alarm started to ring. She went to her bathroom and did all the necessary stuff. She came out and woke her sister up. Jade refused to wake up at first but finally gave in. Alissa wore a blue top and black skirt, net on the borders. She made a high ponytail and wore her black heels. She went downstairs, Jade had already been dressed up and is at the dining table. Alissa made pasta for them and served it on the two plates.

"How is your office going?" Jade asked.

Alissa already has decided not to tell this to anyone about what happened between her and her boss. So she quickly replied.

"It is good"

Jade smiled and asked, "Do you get lots of work?"

"No. Sufficient for a day" Alissa said.

Jade nodded and continued eating her pasta.

"How is your studying going on? Are you understanding everything?" Alissa asked.

Jade smiled and said "Yes, I am understanding everything"

Alissa was happy for her. Cause she doesn't want Jade to have a life like Alissa have. She wants Jade to be a successful person in life. She quickly hurried up and left the house after kissing Jade on the cheek.

She sat on the bus and soon reached there. She got out of the bus and entered the building. She was feeling a little bit nervous. What will she do if Eric will try something new on her today? She gave a smile to Lauren and she returned a smile

Alissa entered the elevator. She pressed the floor button and after 8 minutes she reached there. She started to walk towards her cabin. Then she saw that there was a bouquet and a card.

They were the most beautiful roses. She smelled them and they smelled very nice. She opened the card and there was written.

Sorry for whatever I've done with you yesterday. I know it was all wrong of me. But if you could forgive me then please do.

Your boss
Eric Williams

She was in a muddled situation. She couldn't proceed this into her mind as Eric Williams asked for forgiveness. She put the bouquet at the side of the table and the card in her purse.

She switched on her laptop and started working. She was looking through some stuff related to the company. She got an email from Eric, he wrote her to come to his cabin. She got a bit nervous but she didn't have any other choice. She got up and went to Eric's cabin. She stepped confidently towards his cabin.

She knocked on his cabin's door and a raspy voice came from there "Come in"

She went inside and said "You wanted to see me, sir"

"Yes, I wanted to see you" He teased.

She just looked at him with a blank face as she was confused.

He let out a breathy laugh and said "Did you read my card?"

She nodded. He looked at her, trying to read her face. But couldn't make out. Sometimes, she can be totally blank and sometimes she overly reacts. Eric was waiting for her to reply but she just kept standing there. Finally, when he thought she is going to stand like this he said

"Have you forgive me now?"

"Um...Uh...Y-Yes s-sir..." She stammered.

"Didn't sound like you did. Anyways. Please bring the files after 10 minutes" He said and dismissed her.

Alissa thought about how he becomes a jerk and then show his dark side, then all of a sudden he shows his decent face and then becomes that professional businessman. She couldn't understand him. At first, he shows that he is possessive but then show a kind of thing which says 'do anything you want'

She is really confused between all these faces. She has to maintain some distance from him. She entered her cabin only to find a girl sitting on the chair, looking here and there.

Alissa cleared her throat to get her attention. She looked at Alissa and got up from the chair. Alissa looked at her, she was a brunette, had hazel brown eyes. Her features were very much familiar to Eric. She was a beautiful girl. She smiled at her and Alissa returned the smile.

Alissa came forward and sat on her chair.

"Hello mam please take a seat. How may I help you?" Alissa asked.

"Hello, my name is Cassandra Williams. I am the sister of your CEO" She said laughing a little while saying CEO.

Alissa understood why she was looking familiar.

"Oh! Hello my name is Alissa Lawrence and I am the PA of Mr Eric Williams"

"That is why I came here. I came back to New York after 3 years, I was in LA these past 3 years. So I came here to meet my family and is going to stay here. Actually......Oh! Silly me. You must be thinking how much she talks. I came here after a long time so can you please tell me where is Eric's office" Her voice was soft and cheerful.

Alissa smiled at her. She was not like Eric at all.

"Yeah, I was just going to his cabin. Come on I'll show you" Alissa said.

They both got up and started to walk down the corridor.

"It must be hard to work with him right? He is a moody guy" She said and Alissa giggled.

As they reached in front of his door. Alissa was going to knock but Cassandra just barged inside. Alissa followed behind her. Eric looked up and as he saw Cassandra and his face lighted up with happiness. It was the moment when he smiled. A real smile not a smirk or a crooked smile, a genuine smile.

She went towards him and took him in her arms. He wrapped his arms around her. Alissa thought not to stay here as it is their moment so she left. She didn't know that Eric could be genuinely happy.
