Love this book cover designed by @ninjazouis 😘

James fumbled with his wrist watch as Harper beside him was frowning as she looked outside. She couldn't think of why they ran off. "Why did we run off?" She asked, looking over to him. James looked up. "The press." Harper slightly nodded her head looking back outside, no wonder, it should have been obvious that it was the press, James was very popular amongst the press. Harper bit her lip closing her eyes before turning back to face him. "Are you embarrassed to be around me?" James cocked his eyebrow a frown forming upon his lips. "Of course not."
"Then why did we run off. Why not use the front door just walk past them all, I'm only your PA." Harper said fumbling with her seatbelt. James tensed. "It's not what they know, they could think your any woman, think I'm dating you." Harper looked down sighing. "Well, what is it between us?" James coughed looking at his phone. "Look, let's just you get back home first. Samuels take Miss Daniels home, I'll get someone to take your car back tonight." He said. Harper sighed inside, he couldn't even answer her question so what was she supposed to think, maybe this was all just for some fun and he would end up moving on, Harper didn't want that, she wanted to commit to a real relationship. She kept quiet for the rest of the journey as they headed for her apartment, James beside her was too busy to notice her saddened expression as he continued to type upon his phone. James didn't do love he knew that, anyone that met him knew he liked to move on from one to one, even in Highschool his relationships weren't official.

Samuels pulled up outside rising onto the curb. Samuels already had got out opening the door for her, Harper turned to face James who was to intrigued upon his phone to notice that she climbed out without even bothering to say goodbye. "Thank you." She smiled to Samuels who tipped his hat before closing the door behind her. Harper watched as the car drove off, she sighed pushing her strap of her bag up before walking to the front door. Dani was watching TV as Harper entered, Harper threw her bag on the side before collapsing down next to her.

"Your later than usual, the boss got you doing more stuff?" Dani asked. Harper groaned as she snuggled a pillow. "As usual." Dani snorted before turning the television off. "So I had a text message this morning at work." Harper tilted her head to face Dani. "From who?" Dani looked down for a second before reaching for her phone out of her back pocket. "Here, see for yourself, I have no clue who it is." Harper took her phone and opened the message, reading it over it was indeed very strange. It had read.

It's been a while. Looking forward to our next encounter. Keeping smiling darling x

Harper frowned before passing her phone back over. "It's must be someone with wrong number. I wouldn't worry about it." Dani shook her head, "I just think it was sent intentionally to me. It's seems familiar, Harp."
"Well if you get another one, send a message to them. But don't stress, I honestly think it's a mistake, a accident." Harper said. "Where's Duke?" She asked, looking down regretting even to be concerned where he was about. Dani cocked her eyebrow as she stretched her arms. "Oh, he's gone out. Said he was going to meet a lady friend." Harper nodded, thinking though how she was glad he was trying to move on, if that was what he was trying to do.
"You know I'm surprised you let your boss take you that night at the nightclub. I thought you hated the guy. Sure nothing happened that night?" Dani smirked. Harper blushed. "N-no! He was just being nice. It was a connivence he was there, look I still do ...hate the guy." She mumbled. Dani rolled her eyes. "Anyway, I still want to know when your thinking of dating again, woman you're not getting any younger." Harper cringed, tensed even. "Dani, I don't think I'm ready for the dating world yet and specially not up to your matching making skills. So no way!" Dani whined. "Your so boring. Jeez you're young, your supposed to be having random one night stands or getting drunk." Harper frowned before getting up. "I'm going to bed. Don't wake me up till morning." Dani snorted. "Party pooper."

~~~
The following day, Harper got up exhausted after a restless night, she had purposefully gone on old or recent articles on her boss, this only made the situation worse because she couldn't help compare how stunningly beautiful the women he was with than to her and how they looked much better on his arm than she ever will. Every article it was either a model, a actress none of the, looked without flaw. This only fuelled the reason why there was nothing official between them, let's be honest they never once mentioned if this meant they were dating. Why would anyone date her she thought, specially someone with his image. Harper sighed grabbing her flask as she walked to the front door, hopefully like he promised her car was brought over that evening yesterday. Instead what was beforeher was not at all expected, Harper felt the flask slip between her fingers. No it was not her car, it wasn't even smiliar to it. Inspecting it much closer, she swiped off a note flapping against the window stuck at the window wipers. Harper scanned the message before taking a while to allow it all to sink in. James hadn't just sold her car but brought her a expensive new one. Harper frowned scrambling the piece of paper in her hand. There was no way she was accepting this, her car was perfectly fine so there was no need for a new one. And would she afford to buy it or even maintain insurance. Harper picked up her flask off the floor before picking up the keys that were hidden in a envelope stuck to the door before throwing them in her bag and marched towards the nearest bus stop.

Harper reached work eventually after hassling through early traffic, she was annoyed that he had gone her word by selling her car even though she had told him not to a while back now. She exited the lifts onto the floor and marched straight ahead to his office, not even bothering to knock the door, she entered by through without. Harper froze on spot as she watched James hold another woman in a embrace. James released the woman smiling as he noticed Harper who at this time began walking back before she stumbled into the door knob.

"Miss Daniels." James said. The woman beside him was very elegant, her body was very slim but curvy and her hair was a dark purple curled. Harper didn't know what to think. "James, I better be going. You will be coming over tonight, right?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at him as she smirked. James gave her a dazzlingly smile before mockingly saluted his hand at her. Harper stepped aside as the woman smiled at her before walking out. She turned around fumbling for the door but she couldn't keep her hands from shaking to even grasp the door knob.

"Miss Daniels?" James asked as she felt him scoop behind her as he slid his hands around her waist. Harper edged away from him throwing her hands out to stop him coming any closer. "Don't you dare come near me! I saw you! And you just continued so blantly, let me guess this is normal to be have numerous women at the same time. How could you!" She screamed. James frowned before chuckling as he placed his hands in his trouser pockets. "And now your laughing at me? Oh and let me not forget, you sold my car! My car!" Harper bursted before feeling her cheeks overwhelm in heat. James looked to the floor before meeting her eyes. "Finished?" Harper gasped shaking her head as she scurried for the door in anger. James blocked the entrance out as he hit his hand against the hardened surface. Harper tensed as his posture became more threatening. "Why is it women assume things before even thinking it over." He said, before wetting his bottom lip. Harper remained quite. James smirked. "That woman was my sister." Harper parted her lips looking down feeling more ashamed and embarrassed.

"So a apology might be good." James said as he fumbled with his wrist watch. Harper pushed a strain from her face. "I'm sorry. I-I- thought you..." She stuttered barely managing her sentence before James pressed his lips against hers. James trailed her hands towards her back as he pushed her into the door, Harper bit back a moan as he began slowly kissing down from her earlobe towards her collarbone teasing as he ran his fingers caressing her shoulder as he pushed back her top sleeve revealing her bra strap. James pulled away as Harper caught her breath as he held his forehead against hers. "If you thought I would stoop that low, then...I guess we have a problem on ours hands, don't we?" He muttered before slowly leaning towards her lips and teasing as he kissed gradually on the corner of her lip. Harper bit her lip from the sensation, James moved his thumb to the end of her chin as he kissed her lips again before pulling back. "And as for your car, I didn't feel it was safe enough." He muttered before leaning into the side of her neck as he gently kissed, his wet kisses comforting her like mad.

Harper bit her lip trying to resist from giving in so easily. "But, my car...was perfectly fine." She mumbled, before a escaped moan left her lips as he slowly nibbled on her skin on her shoulder. James pulled away kissing her temple before walking towards his desk. "Miss Daniels, your old car is long gone. Your work is already on your desk. I'll leave you to it." He said before sitting down. Harper couldn't even find the words to argue back but instead did as he said, but pushed back up her top shoulder sleeve noticing the slight red mark forming upon her shoulder. James smirked looking up before looking back down to his work. Harper blushed opening the door, before scurrying towards her desk. She cringed how easy she gave in, so called tellling him off for selling her car. How dare he leave a mark on her as well, Harper frowned knowing how diffcult it was to say no to him. Gosh how he made her feel alive, but that wasn't the point, Harper thought.
Harper clenched her fists looking back at the door, well if he thought he could have her wrapped around his little finger then GAME ON. Harper smiled walking across to her desk, if that's what he thought then welcome the playing hard-to -get-Harper.

Game on Mr Brewer. She flashed a smile, thinking of the danger she could be getting herself into. Well bring it on!

Thanks for reading guys, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
