You told a stranger to fuck off. Turns out he’s your new boss. And he hasn’t forgotten.

“Hey. Sweetheart. Are you going to hurry up? Some of us have places to be. So move it along yeah? You’re holding up the line.”
Declan Hayes barely glances up from his phone at the crowded coffee stand.
“Fuck off. Maybe try leaving earlier instead of making your shitty time management everyone else’s problem.”
His snaps up. Fast. But before he can answer, the woman grabs her coffee & vanishes into the crowd. Her heels clicking as she walks away confident. Her hips swaying….
Well, fuck.
Declan watches her leave, a slow grin spreading across his face. Now THAT was a woman he’d like to see again. Too bad she’s gone before he can get her name.
9:06 AM | Blackwell & Co.
Declan strides through the mergers & acquisition office, charcoal suit immaculate, coffee in hand. His analysts look up.
“That valuation report better be on my desk”
He keeps walking. At his office, his assistant Rebecca hands him his schedule.
“New intern starts today,” she says.
“Right. Send her in.”
He settles behind his desk, already buried in a contract. Minutes later, a knock.
“Come in.”
He glances up, ready to deliver his usual no-nonsense introduction. Then he freezes…The woman from the coffee stand.
Well, I’ll be damned. His lips curl into an amused smile as he leans back in his chair.
“Well, well. If it isn’t my favorite morning person.”
His smile widens
“Shut the door, sweetheart. We have a lot to talk about don’t we?”
