Both men stare at me without saying a word. From the 'oh shit' expression on Mr Cunningham's face I work out straight away what is going on.

"YOU HAD ME FOLLOWED!" I yell my voice bouncing off the walls of his office. I can't believe I even thought I was falling for this man. He acts as though he may like or at least care about me and yet he has no regard for what I want!

He sits in front of me with now a smug expression on his face. "Well? Answer me!"

"I didn't realise that was a question but yes I had you followed" he says calmly. He nods at the man in the black suit who steps towards me with his hand out stretched.

"John Potter ma'am. Nice to meet you" John smiles at me and lost for what to do I politely shake his hand.

"John you can wait outside" Mr Cunningham instructs and John does what he is told shutting the office door behind him. "Take a seat Miss Reynolds" he orders and looks at me as I continue to glare at him. That's right Honey! Hold your ground. Don't let him win! "Sit down Genevieve" he says a little softer than before and I give in hearing my first name roll seductively off his tongue.

"Why?" I ask quietly referring to John.

"I needed to make sure you were protected. I didn't want Walker coming after you"

"He is back in San Francisco" I say and Mr Cunningham looks at me curiously so I explain, "I had a call from a friend in California"

"Ah... well nevertheless I hired John to protect you. He will be with you whether you like it or not"

"I don't need a bodyguard Mr Cunningham I -"

"Genevieve please call me Cameron" he pleads with me.

"I don't need a bodyguard Cameron. I live in a safe neighbourhood with my brother I will be fine"

His expression softens slightly at the use of his first name but his lips are still pressed into a firm line. "Genevieve this is not negotiable"

Knowing I'm not going to win I throw my hands up in the air and walk straight out of his office I sit down at my own desk and try desperately to work without thinking of my sexy boss just a few doors away.

I leave the office just after six when I'm making my way to the lift I see a woman step out of Mr Cunnin- Cameron's office. He has his arm around her waist and she is leaning into him. He whispers something in her ear and she throws her head back laughing. As I step into the lift I take better look at her. She is tall. Like giant tall especially compared to me. She has ginger red hair which is professionally straightened and she is wearing clothes that barely fit her. The lift doors start to close and I lock eyes with Cameron I quickly look away not wanting him to see the hurt in my expression.

When I get home I google Cameron Cunningham. Heaps of photos come up in the search including the one of the two of us at the ball the rest are of him with the red head. I find out that her name is Claudia, Claudia Vanderbilt the model. I click on an article and start to read...

Pictured below are Cameron Cunningham and Claudia Vanderbilt. Cameron's business is thriving and he seems happier than ever sources close to him say he owes his success to his girlfriend Miss Vanderbilt.

GIRLFRIEND! He was never interested in me. I imagined it.

...

Weeks pass and John is still following me. I talk to him now and we have actually become quite friendly. I find out he is divorced and has a seven year-old son.

I'm doing very well in my position at Cunningham & Associates. One project is completed and has been a huge success. I arrive at the tower everyday just before seven. Caleb makes sure that my coffee is waiting for me and gives me my schedule for the day. I have been maintaining a professional distance, (you could call it avoiding him) from Mr Cunningham or Cameron as I call him now. I have not seen Claudia around the office since but it is really not my place to wonder about their relationship. There is knock at my door with breaks me from my thoughts.

"Honey your ten-thirty is here" Caleb says politely. My ten-thrity. Carter Wells of Wells Construction.

"Thank you Caleb, send him in"

Caleb leaves and moments later my door is opened and in walks Carter Wells. His blonde hair is shaggy on his head and his blue eyes sparkle under the fluorescent lighting in my office. I stand and walk over to him.

"Mr Wells it is a pleasure to meet you" I say extending my hand.

He shakes my hand, "Please Miss Reynolds call me Carter"

"Carter of course. I'm Genevieve"

"Sorry if this is blunt but you seem to be on quite familiar terms with your assistant. He called you Honey..."

I laugh softly. "Everyone calls me Honey. You are welcome too if you like. I don't get Genevieve much"

"Honey" he tests the name out on his tongue, "I like it" he smiles at me and I feel myself blush.

We talk about the contract his company will be undertaking as well as everything else under the sun. I find out he is also a twin. He has a twin brother who works in Australia. He is originally from Dallas, Texas and he hates peas. I tell him about Bas and I find myself telling him about my mum and how Bas and I were as kids. I relax with Carter. Things are simple. I don't notice the time until my office door is swung open and Cameron saunters in.

"Cameron must you really walk in without knocking?" I ask knowing what is answer will be.

"I always do Genevieve why is today any different" he smirks and our eyes lock. I tell myself over and over again, He is your boss. He is your boss. The sound of someone clearing their throat snaps Cameron and I out of our staring contest. I look and see Carter staring at me curiously.

"Oh Carter this is Cameron Cunningham. Cameron meet Carter Wells of Wells Construction."

"Of course the High Street project. I trust Genevieve gave you all the required information" Cameron says as the two shake hands in introduction.

Carter smiles back at me, "Yes Honey was very informative" I watch Cameron tense as Carter uses my nickname.

Cameron's lip press in the a thin line and he is back to cranky boss man. "Genevieve I need the plans for the Hartford project"

"I will bring them to your office once I'm finished with Carter" I say calmly.

"No. I need them now"

Carter shifts uncomfortably. He grabs one of my business cards off my desk. "It is ok Honey I should get going. I will call you" he says gesturing to the card. I nod excitedly as I lead him to the door. I offer him my hand to shake but instead he presses my knuckles to his lips and I'm the colour of a tomato. "Talk soon Honey"

I stroll back to my desk lost in thought about the gorgeous blonde man who showed interest in me. Cameron snaps me out of my silent thoughts.

"Are you done flirting?" he sneers.

"Excuse me?"

"He is not worth your time Genevieve"

"How I spend my time is none of your concern Mr Cunningham" I growl knowing all to well that using his formal name will piss him off. I pull of the file for the Hartford project and hand it to him. "Here. Now if you'd excuse me I have work to do."

I sit back in my office chair putting my attention on my computer.

"You have been avoiding me Genevieve" Cameron pushes himself between my desk and my chair.

"No Cameron I have been working. Maybe you should try it." I snap at him.

He sits on my desk and leans down to me. "You have a smart mouth Genevieve that is no way to speak to your boss" he moves his face closer to mine and I feel my breathing stop.

"Cameron..."

"I love the way you say my name" his hand cups my face and his thumb traces my bottom lip slowly he brings his face closer to mine until our lips are touching. "I've been wanting to do this for a long time" he murmurs against my lips. I feel myself let go and I'm kissing him back. Then my lips freeze. STOP! You idiot Honey, he is in a relationship. I place my hands on his chest and push him back.

He sits back on my desk and studies my face.

"Cameron..."

"Once you give yourself to me you will be mine Genevieve"

"Cameron we can't do this."

"Give me one reason..."

I take a deep breath convincing myself to speak up, "C-Claudia"
