CHAPTER 2

Kimberly POV

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep!!!

SLAM!

The door banged open as soon as I shut my alarm off.

"Honey, if you're trying to wake up the entire neighborhood, I think you've already succeeded".

"Five more minutes mom...." I groaned from under my blanket. Soon found it flying off me and landing on the floor.

"Say that to your new boss", mum put her hands on her waist to emphasize her point.

"Mooooom! Why did you remove my blanket? I'm not five!" I whined, the cold air making my shiver, but being the stubborn lazy person that I am I stayed put.

"Yes you're not. You're 23. And you know very well that I takes over an hour to get to your office!". She said sternly. "Up, now!".

Does she has to be this dramatic at 6 in the morning?

I sighed and rubbed my eyes. It was past 4'o clock when I went to bed last night or should I say this morning. I hardly had two hours of sleep. But I can't waste time on sleep today. I have a hunch I'll be working my ass of this week at my new office.

Sometimes, I really need to stop. Denlian asked for a favour, to work at his brother's office till the end of my term. If I couldn't do it then I can go back to working with him. I should have refused but the idea of taking up a challenge with Kaleb Eustis was just too tempting. The pay was pretty high too.

I took a quick shower and dressed in a blue pencil shirt and jacket with a white shirt underneath. Pulled my hair into a neat bun on top of my head and put on My glasses. I checked my reflection in the mirror one more time before leaving the room. My mom was making me breakfast.

"Mom," I called on to her. "I'm leaving".

" Here's your breakfast honey," she handed me a lunch box. " I've made your favorite sandwiches, eat them on your way."

"Thanks mum, bye", I gave her a hug before heading for the HQ.

The bus ride took an hour which gave me enough time to go over everything Denlian told me about his brother and what the internet said while eating mum's delicious sandwiches.

What the tabloid said was that Kaleb had it easy. He was never in the office the entire day. He was always seen with different women, he was a cheater, a heartbreaker, but no matter how bad the breakups, none of his exe's said a single bad word against him.

On the other hand, Denlian had told me that he was a hard-working man who didn't want people knowing that he was talented, he came across as a spoilt rich Playboy because he had commitment issues and he was a genuinely nice person.

I wasn't really convinced but since I've know Denlian for over three years, I decided to trust his advice.

I got off my stop and decided to cut the short distance by walking. I checked my watch before entering the building. Punched in my card and took the elevator to the 10th floor.

"Hey, hold up!," I stopped the lift and smiled as another person entered the lift at the third floor. A man with light brown hair and green eyes in the usual staff attire, carrying a coffee mug In his hands.

"Here," he handed over the cup of espresso to me. "The boss has this every morning, he gets really cranky without it. Mr Eustis asked me to inform you."

"Mr Eustis?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

" Denlian". He corrected with a simple smile.

"Thank you, Mr Trevor", I said reading his name tag. "And don't worry I'll prepare it myself from tomorrow onwards".

"Happy to help", he said and excited at the ninth floor.

I stepped out of the elevator on the tenth floor, placed my purse on the desk, took out the organizer and used it as a tray for the coffee, adjusted my jacket with my free hand and took a deep breath....and opened the cabin door...only to nearly have a heart attack.

"Ah, Miss Brown. You seem to be a second late for work". He smirked, leaning over his desk, palms on either side of a half naked woman underneath him.

I tried my best to keep my poker face on. I'm a professional and I've seen worse. "Actually sir, I'm two minutes and three seconds early. Your clock is approximately four minutes and twenty nine seconds faster than standard".

His smile vanished and he pushed away from the woman who got up and fixed herself as if I hadn't just worked in on her and my boss, who on the other hand checked his iPhone 6 for the correct timing.

"Looks like you get to keep your job for the day, Mrs brown. Now", he looked at the woman who was now standing at her feet by his desk, not a hair out of place.

"I'll leave you to your work then", she smiled Seductively at him.

"You actually counted the timing?", He asked surprised.

"I would have corrected it if the clock wasn't so high. Here's your coffee sir".

"Sir, if you tell me what your plans for the day are then I can-"

"Oh, I'm not going to need any planning, Ms brown. But I do have some for you". He smirked, cutting me off as I took out the organizer. He's face as godly as ever. "Are you ready for it?".

"Yes sir", I said firmly.
