Still, he managed to become the media’s sweetheart and photographers’ wet dream. He has the looks anyone with cameras or eyes would want to freeze into an ethereal moment of perfection.
Over the years, Daniel gained everyone’s attention with his quick wit and dripping charm. Or at least that’s what the articles say.
They sing praises for him like angels hum hallelujah in the heavens.
But no one knows the Daniel I know.
The heartless, merciless jerk with control freak tendencies and egomaniac issues.
My gaze flits to his office, to where he disappeared with the lawyer named Knox.
They’ve been there for five minutes and I’m not sure if I’m allowed to interrupt him. But on the other hand, if I don’t get him what he asked for on time, he’ll just bring up the wanker parameter a notch.
Besides, I need to leave now if I want to get him his freaking “specific” lunch on time.
So I open my texts and grind my teeth at the long string of orders he sent at exactly three-second intervals just to distract me.
He can be such an unbearable fucking jerk.

Bloody Idiot:Drop the fucking attitude, Ms. Adler.
Me:It wasn’t attitude, just a piece of information.

I’m about to type that I was going to get that anyway, but I settle with,On it, sir.
I hate the flutter and the squeezing in my chest whenever I type or say that word.
I hate the wave of emotions that follows it.
But most of all, I hate this man.
I hate him with a passion that leaves me seething and constantly thinking about how to commit a flawless crime.
But I don’t let the anger rule me or it would ruin everything else.
Grabbing my bag, I storm out of the office as if my heels are on fire. I wore medium ones today because my legs are still screaming at me from yesterday’s torture.
After I take a taxi, I call Jay.
He picks up immediately. “What’s up?”
“Heeey! Is that any way to talk to me when I didn’t see you last night or this morning?”
“That’s okay. I’ll wait for you tonight if you prepare fish.”
