Chapter 1

Edward’s p.o.v.

“Here are some forms and contracts you needed Mr. Cullen.” Jessica Stanley my

assistant handed to me.

“Thank you Jessica,” I nodded and took the papers from her.

“And again Edward, if you need anything, anything at all, you know where to find

me.” She winked flirtatiously at me before leaving my office.

I mimed a gun and pretended to shoot it at myself. I was in work over load today

at my new job as C.E.O at Hale Investments. My friend Jasper was the founder of the

company. I started as a copy boy when I started working for Jasper, and in a miraculous

course of a year, I moved up to C.E.O. Amazing huh?

I sighed and turned around in my moving chair to look at the busy city of New

York behind me. Cars and people flooded the streets like crazy, hustling and bustling to

jobs and schools. It really was a great view. You could see Broadway from two streets

down. I was on the top floor of the building so a good view was obviously going to be

here.

All of the female workers had already tried to flirt with me and did itunsuccessfully. I turned each one of them down politely. But Lauren Mallory and Jessica

seemed to be the hardest to get rid of. I had a plan, stay in my office until six and then

leave. Jessica and Lauren left at five thirty so I gave them time to leave the building.

My phone started to ring and I turned back around to the front of my desk. I

picked up the phone.

“Edward Cullen speaking,” I answered.

“Edward, get your boney ass down here and eat lunch with us! Don’t even think

about giving us the, I don’t feel so well act.” Jasper said to me in the phone, his tone very

serious.

“Yes boss sir,” I said lazily.

Jasper chuckled into the phone and hung up. I adjusted my tie on my suit and left

my office. When I walked out of m office, there was a chorus of ‘Hello Mr. Cullen’. I



gave them a small smile, a slight turn of the lips and walked down to the café in the

building.

It was modern, glass windows that stretched on one wall, dark glossy wood floors

with glass tables and plastic chairs. The ‘lunch line’ was a buffet with food from burgers

and fries to steak and salads. I spotted Jasper and my brother Emmett with Jasper’s wife

Alice at a table near the window with food, talking and laughing.

I first grabbed a salad with a coke before joining them. It was hard to ignore the

stares that were on me as I passed. Being ‘fuck worthy’ as the women of the office called

it was hard, especially when you were single and lived alone. I took a seat next to Jasper.

“Ah, here he is, Mr. C.E.O.! Man, you spend so much time up in your office that I

had sworn you were living there.” Jasper gave me a pat on the back.

“It’s to hide from the girls,” I whispered to them and my eyes flickered around the

room, making sure they didn’t hear me. Girls have this sort of power, like they can see

what you’re doing through the backs of their heads.

Alice, jasper, and Emmett laughed.

“It can’t be that bad!” Emmett said to me.

I gave him a look.

“Oh, it is isn’t it?” Emmett stopped smiling.

I nodded.

“I know, you’re the thing every woman in the office talks about. It’s high school

all over again Edward.” Alice shook her head in mock sadness.

“Ooh, who’s the lady with the sexy legs?” Emmett was looking over my head and

near the buffet line.

I turned around and my jaw almost dropped. Making a salad was the most

beautiful woman to exist. She had a heart shaped face, brown curly hair, a long nose, pink

full lips, and big brown eyes.

“Oh that’s Bella, she’s new here.” Alice told us.

I turned back to them, a grin on my face.

“Go for it man,” Jasper urged.

“Please do. It’s been long enough that I’ve seen my brother up tight. You need to

get laid.” Emmett agreed.



I glared at him but got up and made my way to Bella. She was now deciding on

dressing. I came up quietly from behind here.

“I wouldn’t go for the ranch, it’s disgusting here. Try the honey kind, it’s very

good.”

She turned around at the sound of my voice.

“Thank you I guess, for saving me from making the wrong dressing choice.” She

smirked.

“You’re welcome. No harm in helping a fellow worker.” I smiled and noticed her

breath caught.

So she’s attracted to me, well that’s a bonus, no heavy flirting, just use my looks.

“You are?” She raised an eyebrow.

“Edward Cullen,” I held my hand out to her. She took it and I surprised her by

kissing her knuckles lightly.

“Oh, so you’re the sexy man who all the women talk about.” She smiled slyly.

“You think I’m sexy?” The corners of my mouth quirked up.

She blushed a gorgeous pink across her cheeks.

“I’m Bella by the way,” She changed the subject.

“Oh I know, all the males talk about you,” And for her embarrassment, I winked.

She blushed redder this time. The innocent look is such a turn on.

“Are you flirting with me?” She put her hands on her hips and tried to hide her

smile.

I leaned on the wall next to here.

“Depends, is it working?” I cocked my head to the side and brought out my

crooked smile that was voted as best smile in high school and college.

She bit her lip and I nearly groaned. Such a tease.

“Yes, it is,” She looked away from me and decorated her salad with the dressing I

suggested.

“Then if me charming you is working, would you consider going out to dinner

after work with me?” I asked her.

Her eyes snapped to mine before looking me up and down.

“I don’t know, what if all you’re doing is trying to get into my pants?”



I laughed.

“I was born and raised a gentleman. I assure you, I will not even bring you to my

bed. But I will if you want.” I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively.

This time it was her turn to laugh.

“Okay. Sure, I’ll go out with you tonight. Where do you want to meet?”

“I’ll find your office, cubicle, exedra,” I droned on and she giggled, “at six. Does

that sound good with you?”

“Sure,” She nodded.

“Looking forward to seeing you tonight Bella,” I grinned and walked back to m

table.

“So, what happened?” Emmett asked.

“I have a date with Bella tonight at six,” I said triumphantly.

“Dang it man, how do you always get the girls?” Emmett grumbled.

“It’s called flirting Emmett, learn from it.” I smiled tauntingly at him.

The day passed slowly, each minute felt like an hour. And when it was 5:45, I

called Jessica and found out where Bella’s cubicle was. As I walked to her section in the

office a floor down, all I thought was that I was going on a date with the most beautiful

girl in the world.
