Molten Chocolate

Jasmine's POV:

"This can't be the proposition she has been going on and on about for weeks in her annoying-ass voice—which always makes my damn ears ring! Miss Rhino can't be serious! There are absolutely no benefits or profits to be gained here; as a matter of fact, if we invest, we will be at a loss! 

"I'm not interested in this at all. Why the hell did I hire her?"

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

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

"Yes sir," I answered sharply.

"And, Miss Blackman, reorganize my schedule for the upcoming week. Cancel that nonsensical meeting with Mr. Hoggers. I'm not interested in investing one billion dollars in his shitty business. Also, fax those documents to the sixth floor, and proofread these for me before 1:00 pm. And can you send Julia a bouquet of white roses with a note attached to them that reads ′Thank you′—and get my father on the line," he ordered, even though he phrased it as a question.

I nodded and took two stacks of paper from his hands, exiting his office immediately.

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

"Sir, your father is on line one," I said to him through the phone once I had gotten through to his father.

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

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

Afterward, 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 one whole year. After finishing college, it was a drag trying to find a decent job that paid well in my city, but luckily, I applied to Hollen Tower when I saw an ad in a newspaper for a personal assistant role.

Hollen Tower had been established and operated by Evan's father before him. The company was one of the most successful and well-developed organizations around the globe. Great cooperation, solid partnerships, and a body of well-educated, experienced, and trained staff had taken the company to its highest peak. And Evan Hollen stood at the very top, holding his father's relinquished crown and well-earned titles. He would be damned if someone tried to damage what his father had 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 feature. His dark silver-grey eyes were everything.

His sexy, lean body was always sharply outlined in his expensive Armani suits.

Okay, you got me. I had the biggest and most unstoppable crush on my boss. 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.
