ALIANA P.O.V:-
I am working in my study room but my mind is somewhere else. Or might I say, on someone else?

Whatever these feelings are, they are hurdles in my way. I can't be like a giddy teenager. For god sakes I am 26! I have to get over the thoughts of Xavier.

And those occasional butterfly kisses are not at all helping in my case.

Thinking about Xavier, there is much more important works to be done, so I called Liam.

"Have you seen the time? It's 1 in midnight" He started whining, still he received my call because he knows duty call.

"There is a guy named Nathan Wills. He works for Maxwell & King Co. in Law firm. I want his history and other details by 11 am" saying this I hung the call.

There are many thoughts running in my mind. But what I am afraid is of my feelings for Xavier. I am not gonna lie but I really don't wanna trust him, still I shared my past to him. I am a close book and I intend to seal it as it is.

Throughout my working out, bathing and breakfast, everything went into blur.

Today's outfit :-

After arriving to company, I directly head for Xavier's office, avoiding Rose unintentionally

I knocked thrice. "Come in Aliana" came his all cheery voice. Why is he so happy today?

I entered and watched him suspiciously to find out the reason of his good mood.

"What? " he asked still grinning.

I shook my head.

He is looking handsome as usual. His dark brown hairs are set behind properly, as usual his blazer is thrown over couch and his sky blue shirt is rolled over his elbow, giving a perfect view of his muscular forearm. His three buttons are open, showing his tone chest. Oh no! He noticed, I was checking him out.

"Morning Xavier" greeting him, I open my tab to inform his schedule.

"How did you sleep last night?" I don't know why he asked me that but again I can't lie to him.

"I didn't. Your schedule is hectic today. Not a single hour is free. For now your next meeting is in next 20 mins, with your company staffs. For next meetings I'll give you heads up. Am I dismissed? " I asked in hurry because I am avoiding the topic of sleep.

In few long strides, he is standing too close for my liking. We are breathing same air. But I didn't step back. I stay rooted to hide the fact that is I am affected of his presence.

He breaks the eye contact and asked in low voice "May I know why didn't you sleep last night?" he sounds calm but I can sense the anger laced with concern.

"Maybe some other day." I said unsure.

"Oh! Again some other day? Whatever I ask, you procrastinate it. Again and again and again. When? Just tell me the time, when? " he asked though greeted teeth.
