Until one reckless girl splashes mud on his tailored suit…and insulted him in public .

The next day, she walks into her interview… and freezes.
The stranger she humiliated now sits behind the desk as her new boss.
Jerry isn’t angry. He’s intrigued.
Emma isn’t apologetic. She’s defensive.

In a world where pride clashes with attraction, who will surrender first?

Chapter: 14. SHOPPING TRIP Silas hadn't been able to concentrate all day. He was still anxious, worried that Emma was still mad at him for the morning’s mishap. He’d been waiting in the parking lot just to catch a glimpse of her. When she finally emerged, he wanted to approach her, but he stopped himself. What should he say? "I'm sorry"? That would be stupid; the lady clearly hated being apologized to every five minutes. Silas sighed, running a hand through his hair. Emma was walking quickly, afraid her boss might appear and find another excuse to keep her late. She was moving fast, having swapped her painful heels for a pair of flat slippers. She caught sight of a figure moving back and forth near the exit, looking frantic. *I didn’t make a mistake naming him that—he really is a weird man,* she thought. A part of her felt bad for refusing her boss’s ride, but she wouldn’t admit defeat until she reached the main road and failed to find a taxi. As she was ab

Chapter: 13. A DIFFERENT FIRST IMPRESSION "Wow, good morning to you, Miss Emma," Lucy greeted, her mouth hanging open as she stared. Emma rolled her eyes and adjusted her watch, making sure everything looked perfect. She was wearing the new black suit, paired with long, wide-legged trousers and a tucked-in white button-down shirt. For footwear, she had chosen the white heels with the thin, precarious-looking stems. Thankfully, Kristie had taught her how to walk in them that morning; she just prayed she wouldn’t have to run, or she’d end up losing a few teeth by noon.*See who can play this game,* Emma thought. *I’ll make sure that’s the last dollar he ever takes from my paycheck.* She snapped out of her thoughts as she noticed Lucy still staring. "I'm human," Emma remarked dryly."Of course, but girl, you look mature. Gosh, and your hair!" Lucy gestured to Emma’s sleek, high bun, which pulled her features into a sharp, professional look. Emma’s face twitched. *Mature? Did I lo

Chapter: 12. A VERY EXPENSIVE DAY"Let me finish. I don't need empty declarations. You have a lot to learn, and if you make any mistakes, I’ll be deducting the damages from your salary until you’re left with a penny." Emma looked at the shopping bags and sighed in relief. Maybe the man wasn't completely heartless after all."I’m not actually going to pay for these clothes," Jerry added, his tone flat."What?!" Emma asked her voice a little high ,looking at him as he glared sharply at her. "I don't even have that kind of money!" Emma protested, rolling her eyes in exhaustion. She wondered what he was saying right now . Geez the man always seem to go back to point zero every single time she thought he would do something different. Who else were going to pay for the outfit then !. This man never ceased to amaze her—and not in a good way."I don't need to know that; I already know. All I want is for you to pay me back, and since you don't have the funds now, I’ll just deduct it from your next paycheck."

Chapter: 11.NOT FOR FREE 1Emma cleared her throat, watching the shop assistant pack up the items. She glanced at Jerry’s back and noticed he had taken off his suit jacket. As if sensing her gaze, he turned to face her, and she quickly looked back at the assistant. When she risked a glance at Jerry again, she saw he had unbuttoned the top two buttons of his white dress shirt, revealing smooth skin and a hint of an inked tattoo. *No wonder I kissed him,* Emma thought. She immediately blushed, frantically trying to shove the thought out of her mind. She had been wondering how she’d managed to kiss his neck while he was wearing a full suit, and now she knew. Trying to bridge the awkward silence, she said, "Um, boss, I’m sure your fiancée will be very pleased to receive these gifts." She was trying to soothe his temper. She’d learned that the best way to handle an angry person was with a little flattery. She couldn't lie—she was terrified. She had no idea what was going through his head; instead of hi

Chapter: 10.THE HEEL TESTAfter the shopping was finished, Emma was finally freed from the pile of clothes she had been holding while a shop assistant packed everything away. She watched the woman load the designer bags, then slowly shifted her gaze to her boss. She rolled her eyes, exhausted, and let out a loud yawn."Miss Jones, follow me," Jerry said, turning on his heel and walking away.Emma growled, wiggling her tired body. "If he wanted to shop for his fiancée, why involve me?" she muttered, begrudgingly dragging her feet after him.When they reached another section, Jerry gestured for her to put on a pair of heels. Emma glanced awkwardly at the shoes, then at Jerry, who was already looking impatient. "Miss Jones, put on the heels.""Oh, the thing is... I don't really wear heels.""Huh?""I don't know how to walk in them," Emma admitted, covering her face. It was mortifying for a woman to admit she couldn't handle a simple pair of shoes."I thought as much. Either way, you don't have a choice," Jerry s

Chapter: 9. HIS PERSONAL MANNEQUINEmma inhaled slowly, trying to calm her nerves. She pinched the bridge of her nose and took two deep breaths, muttering through gritted teeth, "The nerve of that man!" She finally turned to examine the place they had stopped. She couldn't help but stare in awe; her jaw practically hit the floor. She blinked twice, convinced she had read the sign wrong. *Just Trèndy.* Emma let the name echo in her head. She had always assumed only actresses, influencers, and women who casually spent six months' salary on a handbag ever shopped here. She gulped and turned around to look for her so-called boss. She spotted him standing at the entrance, his face set in a hard glare. A frown settled on her forehead, but she told herself to get used to it. Dragging her feet, she moved toward him, keeping her eyes fixed on her shoes because she couldn't handle his icy stare any longer. Things couldn't get any worse. Inside, Emma looked around in amazement. Designer dresses, glittering heels, a
