Contrary to popular opinion, Tom didn't become the CEO of such a powerful first-class multinational company like I-Global by chance nor by luck. Several times he had read articles where people tried to guess his business secrets and strategies and he smiled each time they failed. All his life he had been guided by four basic character traits. He liked to believe his success was a product of all four in equal percents. Twenty-five percent impatience, twenty-five percent decisiveness, twenty-five percent…-

Lucy said nothing as she got into the backseat of the car. She needed to set the boundaries between them if they were going to work together. He was her driver at work, and her neighbor at home. She had asked him to forget whatever had happened between them, and she needed to forget it too. Truly had he not been her one night stand, she would have found it amusing that her handsome next door neighbor was her driver, and they would have gotten along quite well as friends, but now she just couldn't help…

Tom checked his wristwatch impatiently, trying to figure out why almost every other person had closed for the day, apart from Lucy. It was almost two hours past closing hours already, yet there was no trace of her anywhere. Was she doing that deliberately to annoy him, or was she just trying to avoid him? Or perhaps she had taken a cab and snuck off without his knowledge? He dialed Harry's line when he couldn't bear it anymore. "Sup? Have you dropped off your boss?" Harry asked in a teasing tone.…

At twenty-six, Sonia was five feet six inches tall, and had the body of a senior highschool baseball team cheerleader. Her honey colored skin was flawlessly smooth, and her long curly blonde hair framed her beautiful heart shaped face. Her eyes which were large on her small face were a beautiful green, and gave her an innocent look which belied her mischievous nature. Sonia had a small smile on her face as she admired her reflection on the mirror after her phone call with Lucy, "Not bad for a…

Lucy couldn't help thinking about her new driver as she worked. What was she going to do about all of this? It really didn't make sense to her that of all people in the city that could have been employed, it just happened to be him. Why? She wondered as she stood up from her seat and started pacing her office. She needed to talk to Sonia about it before she would explode, so she paused long enough to pick up her phone and dial Sonia's number before she started pacing again. "Baby..." Sonia greeted…

"Focus Bryan!" The photographer called in irritation for what was probably the fiftieth time already that day. It was so unlike Bryan to be distracted during photoshoots, but he seemed so absentminded since he arrived at the studio that morning. "Just give me a moment." Bryan told him before walking out of the stage. He signalled Mia over, "Have you heard from her yet?" "Not yet." Mia said with a shake of her head, leaving a frown on Bryan's face. "Okay." Bryan said with a nod before returning to…

It seemed to Tom like Lucy's eyes were going to pop out of their socket seeing how she was looking at him in disbelief. He tried to look equally surprised as he stepped out of the car to join her and Harry. Lucy swallowed convulsively as she turned to look at Harry, hoping they were at the wrong vehicle, "Who... Who is he?" She asked, cocking her head in Tom's direction. "Oh, that is the personal driver I mentioned. Come over and say hello to your boss." Harry said to Tom who remained by the door…

"There is nothing to feel embarrassed about." Tom said, trying hard not to chuckle at how red her face had become. "I think I should probably leave now." Lucy said as she stood up to leave, but Tom shook his head. "Why? Because you feel embarrassed over something you said when you were drunk? Things I don't even hold against you? Come on, we are both adults and we are better than that." Tom chided. 'You might be, but I'm not.' Lucy said in her head, "No that's not it. I just need to rest since I'm…

All attempt by Bryan to get Sonia to leave the room, was met with equal resistance. It was very clear to Bryan that Sonia had no intention whatsoever of leaving him alone and she had every intention of spending the nigh with him. "Why are you doing this?" Bryan asked when she walked out of the bathroom dressed now in his polo shirt, and one of his boxer pants which he hadn't give to her. "Because I can, and because I want to." She said with a sweet smile. "Shouldn't we get the room service to serve…

"Have you seen the most searched topic on the net?" Harry asked the moment Tom accepted his call. "No. I'm still busy getting acquainted with my new house. Why? What's trending?" Tom asked as he watered the plant in the flower pot. Harry had paid quite an outrageous amount of money to get the occupants of the apartment to leave and let him have it on such a short notice. "Well, your kid brother beat you to it. He just got engaged." "What? Bryan? Engaged?" Tom asked in obvious disbelief. "Yeah,…
