KATES POV
I ran through the unfamiliar building. I had overslept and was now running late. I hurried towards the elevator and taped the open button. the doors slid open d I hurried inside pressing the up button. I carried my cup of Steaming coffee in one hand and a stark of papers in the other. As the elevator amended, I took a look at my wristwatch and realised that I had only two minutes until I was officially late. Once the doors 3lid open I rushed out and found myself standing in a long hallway that led to a single office. I walked up to the door and stopped short of knocking when I heard voices. " you can't do this to her, you must apologize immediately. That is the daughter of our biggest business partner so you can't just dump her like that. Do you know how shameful it was for me to get a phone call from Mr Anderson telling me that the deal was off because of you? You are such a disgrace." a stern voice said "Anyway, you will come for dinner tonight and will get back together with that girl. Am I clear? " the steel voice said again and then another voice replied with resignation in his voice "Yes, father. I stood in the hallway for what felt like forever yet in reality, I had been there for less than a minute. " clean up this mess, your new assistant will be here soon. " the stern voice said again and then I heard footsteps approaching the door and I barely had time to jump out of the way when a grey-haired man nearly bumped into me. He cursed under his breath and then mumbled something about the employees being irresponsible before he stalked towards the elevator. I was about to raise my hand to knock on the door when it burst open and the person who had been inside barreled into me causing my hot coffee to spill all over his shirt and the spark of papers to go flying everywhere. I looked in horror at the man standing in front of me as he had a pained look on his face that was later replaced with a grimace that then morphed into a scowl. I mumbled an apology and then hastily got to my knees and started gathering the papers that had scattered on the floor and were about to pick up the final paper that was just a few inches away from the guy's feet when he stopped me by saying " get up, your embarrassing yourself. If it was you're the first day, you'd be fired. Since it's your first day here, I'll have you know that I hate tiredness and I can't stand sloppy work. Go get me a triple caramel hazelnut late hold the whip pronto." with that, he turned on his heel and walked back into his office. For my cover, I picked a shy girl named Rose who is also timid. At the time of that encounter, I had already taken on the character but it seems this mission won't be so simple especially if I'm going to b working with this jerk the whole time according to the I tell I received last night, I will have to work with this guy the whole time being his assistant and all. I made my way back into the elevator and pushed the down button before arriving at the ground floor. As soon as the door slid open, I rushed out and went to the coffee shop across the street to get his highness his coffee. The number of cars on the road was astronomical and I silently thanked the big man in the sky for getting me here before the jam got to this point. I hurried passing between cars. The drivers looked just about ready to pull their hair out. I could feel their pain but I couldn't dwell much on these thoughts as I heard my destination. I gave the barista my order and he nodded before saying " haven't seen you around here before, you must be the dragon's new assistant. " I looked at him in shock " How did you know? " "Your coffee order is the exact one he drinks. " he said with a knowing look on his face. " well, what if we just happen to like the same order? " I countered "Nah lady, I know things. For example, you strike me as one who likes dark coffee that has just been brewed and is still piping hot. " he says while leaning over the counter "Name's Jake, and you are?" " in a rush, got to go. " he ducked and his face lit up when he did so and I could see that he had a dimple on his left cheek. He then turned to pour the ingredients into the coffee machine and turned his attention back to me. " so, where are you from? " " Very far away. " I replied without missing a beat making him frown slightly before his face lit up again and he offered me a muffin which I accepted but when I reached for my handbag to pay him, he waved me off saying "It's on the house. " He then poured the coffee into a plastic cup, and put it in a cup holder which he in turn put in a brown paper bag and handed it to me. " see you around, in a rush. " I rolled my eyes and walked back to the office. By now the traffic had reduced and it was a little harder to get to the other side.
I returned to the office and knocked on the door before entering. The sight before me was shocking in a good way, to say the least. Devon was shirtless and his abs were on full display. I cleared my throat and handed him the bag with his coffee in it.
Lunchtime rolled around and he invited me to have lunch with him. Now, normally I would refuse but since this is a mission, I accepted. Somehow I don't think he committed the crimes they say he did but I will have to first complete the investigation before I can come to any conclusions. He led me to his car and we both got inside. Soon we were on the road and I remained silent the whole ride. He turned on the radio and a smooth jazz rune was playing. I could see him slightly sway to the music as he drove. He kept his gaze on the road and I also turned my head and started out the window. We soon arrived at the restaurant and took our seats in one of the booths located at the back of the restaurant. A lady in her mid-fifties approached our table. " good to see you
