AN: You've been blowing up my email with comments about this, so I finally gave in and decided to update a day earlier than I planned. I hope you enjoy it! There's secrets, manipulation, the perfect mix for this chapter. :) 

*Chirstopher's POV*  

That night after Savanna left with Josh and my blood had finished boiling with jealousy, I made a phone call. I found Savanna a new assistant; someone from Josh's past. This would be interesting and I knew it would raise some hell.

I could not wipe the smirk off of my face when I got to work. I knew Josh would be paying a visit to me the moment he ran into her. Shows him to play this game with me. I would always win. I've been conditioned myself to win. I'm not going to let an assistant beat me at this. I would get her.

I went to my office and began working, knowing that at any moment Josh would be coming in here. I smiled wider. I was so going to enjoy this.

*Savanna's POV*

Josh turned and smiled at my assistant, Marie. She had brown eyes, creamy white skin and her brown hair was pulled into a braid. She was really pretty. I had to admit I was a little jealous of her looks. She had just came back with  a signature from someone on the editing team. From the ten minutes I had her, she seemed bubbly and I think she would make a good assistant. 

"Hi," Josh said, politely. Marie smiled, her brown eyes looking him up and down, looking like she was undressing him with her eyes. I shifted in my seat, jealousy and possessiveness running through me. 

"Hey Josh," she said. I felt my jaw drop. 

"You know each other?" I asked, standing up. Marie glanced back at me, after a second thought almost, and nodded. Josh turned around, his face slightly red. 

"Yeah, we worked together before I got a job here," he said, looking uncomfortable. He leaned in and pecked me on the lips.

"I'll come and grab you for lunch?" he asked, smiling. I nodded, uneasiness settling in my stomach. 

"Bye," I said. He winked before walking out. I turned, trying not to notice the longing way she looked at him. I took a seat. Marie put the coffee and the signed paper on my desk. I smiled and asked her to go run a few copies for Mr. James and the rest of the people who would need this. I tried to be nice, despite the jealousy and irritation at her longing looks

*Josh's POV* 

It took everything in me not to storm up to Mr. James' office and punch the living shit out of him. He knew who she was, I knew that for sure. That was the only reason she was HERE, working with Savanna. This was just to get back at me for her leaving with me and not him. I went down to PR, sort of bracing myself for Ashley's behavior.  I wasn't looking forward to the looks or slight advances. 

When I got to her office, she wasn't there. But there was a sticky note on her desk. 

Have a meeting. Make a couple copies then type up the emails. I should be out soon. 

XO 

Ash 

I rolled my eyes at her ending and got to work. I was done in an hour. She still wasn't out. I decided maybe it was time to pay Mr. Asswipe a visit. I walked to the elevator. I hit the button. The doors opened. Marie stepped out, holding a paper in her hand. My stomach hit the ground. 

"Joshie," she whined. "Can we talk?"  

I groaned, but grabbed her hand and dragged her to the copier room. No one needed to witness this if anything was said that wasn't meant to be heard. I didn't want this to get back to Savy. Hardly anyone went in there, and I betted it was still empty. I let her go in first before I followed and shut the door, locking it behind me. I turned around. Marie was right there, practically on top of me. I stepped back into the door, trapped. My heart pounding at her proximity.
