She always went to the same café. The same order of a blueberry muffin with a cup of cold brew and condensed milk. She was that girl who held it together and seemed savvy.
He never liked interactions much less dating. He was a CEO of the largest co...

It was 8pm indicating that it was time for me to get off from work and deal with bastards who have been long overdue on their payment and those who can't keep their tongues from yapping about.
I look out the glass windows of my office into the lighted city of New York. My mind wanders off to Lila.
I should've asked for her number at least. It was nice spending time with her, she seemed to become a drug that I couldn't get enough of. She seemed so tempting. I'll be damned if I were to let her get away.
But I knew I had to tell her what I actually do. It'll only harm her if I keep it for too long. Not to mention, I have many enemies and if anyone found out about her they won't stop until they get their filthy hands on her.
I sigh as I run my hand through my hair before glancing at my office one last time and locking it behind me.
My employees all stand from their seat and bow in respect. I nod at them to continue their work and ignore my presence.
Once I reach the elevator Sira jogs up to me.
"Hi Mr. Barachi." She says as she twirls a piece of her hair.
I glance at her and give a curt nod before turning my attention to the opened elevators. I click the lobby level and wait, but Sira climbs in next to me.
"How was your day sir?" She asks as she bats her eyes at me that seemed to bulge out of her sockets.
So creepy
"Fine." I state emotionlessly.
She then placed her hand on my bicep to which I swatted it away as if it was a pesky fly.
ew ew ew
"Do I need to remind you of your position Ms. Caroline." I deadpan as I glare at her.
Her eyes widen even more before shaking her head and leaving space between us.
Jeez, is she momo?
The elevator doors finally ding open as I quickly get off. I don't bother to say goodbye as I take long strides to the front door.
Before I get any further, I get a whip of a familiar strawberry scent.
I scan the lobby to find the source of the scent until my eyes land on a familiar white dyed sectioned and black hair.
"Lila?"
She whips her head around and her eyes widen slightly. She suddenly shifts in her position awkwardly.
I was about to say something until I noticed her red and slightly puffy eyes. She looked pale.
