Toxic-Attraction

sorry, I should've been there for you, I should have answered your calls." "It's been years though. Years of pain," he murmured clearing out the leaves from the headstone. The headstone had

ould this be true? Could a cold billionaire like Mr Andrew Cross be haunted by some past? It sounded too good to be true. Well there would always be rumors since Mr Cross is such a successful man that hardly speaks, rumors are bound to occur. But that wasn't Elena's concern at the moment. She didn't want the rumors to weaken her resolve. She was there to win. The elevator opened and Elena stepped out gazing at the luxurious hallway with glass walls and black and white decors. Ms Emily stood in a neat navy blue suit and black trimmed glasses. She greeted her with a handshake. "You arrived early Miss Santiago. Come with me". Elena increased her walking speed inorder to catch up with Ms Emily. "Thanks so much. I really appreciate it". Emily gave her a faint smile that didn't reveal her true thoughts or emotions. "And I hope Mr Cross appreciates it too". She took her into a large exquisite office with large windows that had a nice view of Manhattan skyline, skyscrapers and magnificent buildings. At one one end of the office, stood the mahogany desk which away from the view. Andrew stood facing his back with arms crossed. He didn't turn to face them yet. "Sit down", he said, voice firm. Emily gestured for Elena to sit, then left quietly, leaving Elena with the metaphoric beast, Andrew Cross. Elena sat across from him with her hands on her blue folder that laid on her laps.

That explained why ladies trembled and lost control at the sight of him. Elena could hear her heart beating just seeing him. An unusual and weird feeling crept in her. "The devil is steaming hot", she muttered quietly to herself. "Saying something Miss Santiago?", he asked. "No" He sat down, opened the file and took a quick look at her cv. "Miss Santiago. Twenty-five of age. Had a double major in communication and business admin. Wow impressive GPA. Worked three years at Brightmark Consulting and one year assisting COO Griffin Corp". After reading the contents, he closed the file. "And still, you're here". "Yes I am". "Why did you leave Griffin?" Elena rolled her eyes. "I left because I feel I'm ready for a bigger challenge". He observed her keenly as if trying to find her weakness. "Hmm. May I bring to your notice young lady that I've fired every assistant I have had in the past years". Elena didn't shake. "Yeah I know. I read it on the web", she replied. "And I also read that you don't take"no" for an answer. Maybe t
