Episode 1 — "The Kiss That Got Me Hired?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14jjvYogyz

Rain poured over the streets of New York City.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHvZL8rRWx

Inside one of the most luxurious hotels in Manhattan, music echoed through the grand ballroom.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8bU77hlJX

The annual welcome party for new employees of AstraVex Media was in full swing.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLDd7kAryz

Champagne glasses clinked.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEJuLG0ynM

Executives laughed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYb1p7wGit

Employees mingled nervously.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNyc307l5o

And in the middle of all of it—

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YxQ8idbCm

Liam Hart regretted his life choices.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw2jpcLfYU

Twenty-six years old.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjJO9dNRAY

Newly hired Creative Director.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJiHFpGcdi

Recently dumped.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kide0Dvxi

And currently staring at his third glass of whiskey.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCMpOZVGym

His best friend, Scarlett Monroe, snatched the glass away.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN7qKjWqJU

"Three drinks in twenty minutes?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrJXbMSHbe

Liam groaned dramatically.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNNGOWRNk7

"My ex got engaged."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1rANI04Fx

"To the guy he cheated on you with."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Z1WR2VQL

"Exactly."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOcp8yoKeA

Scarlett sighed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyVVAx5VD6

"You need therapy."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYgiy5hYRR

"I need revenge."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1POJdZo31

"You need water."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgXpXED52I

"I need another drink."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2fAg6JHtB

Scarlett refused.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM65RW03UhX

"No."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlruQW3SSfb

Liam stood up.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa84262kfT7

"Fine. I'll get it myself."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Lo7Qvabx

Bad decision.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSqwFIRPNy

Very bad decision.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkT1tNGWG5

Because Liam had one unfortunate habit.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54d55vu51H

When drunk—

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO2UV7r0Q0

he became emotional.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1wLYR3HCx

And stupid.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJRReKrdyX

Mostly stupid.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiOkRFvDXV

As he walked through the crowd, his vision became blurry.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH0Rwxtn0s

People looked similar.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN2gYnuQgp

Voices blended together.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2sBSAztr1

Then—

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPdRsv7zxc

he saw him.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERfbDRZsPr

Tall.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXRk3LtBjL

Black hair.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYBR2zPZG3

Expensive black suit.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3AewcGETL

Broad shoulders.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K25X4dskF

Standing near the balcony.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah6zlDvayn

From behind...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oOXvtVum2

he looked exactly like his ex.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtFRqotHTt

Liam stopped walking.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qpxm1Sxzv

His eyes narrowed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lwQmxo6G6

No.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZhA6WXKqJ

No way.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8f1hnYZtu

Was this jerk seriously attending his company's party?

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUwE9G9Xgw

After ruining his life?

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUAgl71cGY

Unacceptable.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdAZSS1GAg

Completely unacceptable.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq62vxPhM4

Fueled by heartbreak and alcohol, Liam marched toward the mysterious man.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MRRYNv1fr

The stranger was speaking to several investors.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAdd5l6V6G

Calm.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C9mCbMCkS

Collected.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul3uC6GJP4

Powerful.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXhoRdLViB

Liam didn't care.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzF10IqXKr

He grabbed the man's arm.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6FFMuxC9p

Hard.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1C4PUtSvu

The conversation stopped.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM55YR2fax

Investors blinked.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kTrzpvngm

The stranger slowly turned around.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuekDUHPnQ

Sharp features.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfz3JMWDVG

Cold dark eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tKkU1vpXE

Handsome.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWvqRWVWWe

Terrifyingly handsome.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxpOeHtNRS

But Liam's drunk brain didn't process that.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kW95Qq7DB

Instead, he pointed dramatically.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpFGFZwBl8

"You!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MPlPxn34F

The stranger raised an eyebrow.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBirHWkRzz1

"...Me?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYc6GbzQLA

Liam scoffed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL8eejeUVW

"Who else?!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKhRAyrxi

Scarlett appeared from nowhere.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44EEau8CxT

Already horrified.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPe5rJvq6q

"Oh no."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h0KiHrJMk

Liam ignored her.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIFUkzl5h6

"You cheat on me..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBu87bul8c

He poked the man's chest.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1EQ3VcB2A

"You leave me..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7saZosOnp

Another poke.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIWTHOdhcd

"And now you're here pretending to be successful?!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsmjztJHyH

The ballroom had gone silent.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ogEyq8ii2

Employees stared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AatDuQ9pt

Executives stared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLDBKcJa5F

Even the musicians stopped playing.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvkBrZ0lxh

Scarlett wanted to die.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNY0VAgw0r

The stranger simply watched Liam quietly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMODA859oH

Expression unreadable.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G2meDeMls

Then Liam suddenly looked sad.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJxL68SQEP

Really sad.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZoPUDVdCA

His voice became softer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaLY6ZdhdZ

"I loved you, idiot."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rJ1vMuWsD

Scarlett covered her face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8ValvwwDo

Please stop.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J9nb7YIqe

Please stop.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1LCPpYSu3

Unfortunately—

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEGcKekl7V

Liam wasn't finished.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbe8biBbAQ

He grabbed the stranger's tie.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqWQZmKV8z

Pulled him down slightly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBshU3GAc9

And kissed him.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwlju4YPjF

Right there.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonus4V7iqx

In front of everyone.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCloI7Twdvl

Five seconds.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp2wM6DoHb

Ten seconds.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlWYnTlGHO

Complete silence.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflEiUUjikW

Then Liam pulled away.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbmmN8Ii28

Blinking.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWoOtewFE9

Waiting.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJauC2coXU3

Waiting for his ex to apologize.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4BSymvc7X

Instead—

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm6KNE3omy

the stranger looked mildly amused.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyJJ2wJNRD

Then asked calmly,

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq0XRSoLaD

"Are you done?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vSEDIrLZJ

Liam frowned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s1v8pIDk8

Wait.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqZSvlcHYl

That voice sounded different.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzqhsNnujo

Scarlett whispered,

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwZFe5QBEs

"Liam."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGge2Sh3WZ

"What?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Es3gwzT9

"That's not Nathan."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhH5XYZnjF

Liam blinked.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzVudrdwOW

"What?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UTPzpMlw1

She pointed shakily toward a framed photograph hanging near the entrance.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNszFGRSIuD

It showed the stranger shaking hands with company executives.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWRhJo7IRR

Underneath was a title.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtLId071tJ

ADRIAN CROSS

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgEbMvHuoE

Chief Executive Officer

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UiByKlX6E

Liam looked at the photograph.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCyppG9h1W

Then at the stranger.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4qqW0SX3n

Then at the photograph again.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcSfuQ7ekG

His soul left his body.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDZqqxCU6b

"No."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLrcgDqNhE

Scarlett nodded.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvaAxVYwAx

"Yes."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbaoRPhCp1

"No."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckAqIzVqAC

"Yes."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNswlVnzqO

Liam wanted to disappear.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq33DZMAtm

Immediately.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1BvVaSQYj

The stranger adjusted his tie.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7y188SZ1J

Still surprisingly calm.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3MtpZ7w1T

Then extended a hand.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mDFkFk9YW

"Adrian Cross."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIemGUi3cg

A pause.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJa7suL1S7

"Our CEO."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSow3iacQz6

Liam stared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7DZW5yi8h

Face completely pale.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjYKBzuy2N

Adrian tilted his head slightly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXEuiV6YZ9

Then a faint smirk appeared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr2rx4XlRQ

Interesting.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEkcC7d2xq

Very interesting.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbNPygd9hD

"Mr. Hart."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrpaBNHHUZ

Liam nearly cried.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVw2jNUNlG

"Y-Yes?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruKKVkNPDH

Adrian's dark eyes studied him carefully.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpozgRDdwT

"You kiss strangers often?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrm5eL5fof

Liam whispered,

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnscCUsVrFL

"I want to resign."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPI9e82eGj

Adrian smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBvaIogu6M

For the first time that night.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYScN1rJp0

Dangerous.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkR9xn9Yxl

Beautiful.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafRCh9snrx

And impossible to read.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw8Eo6WCyd

"You won't."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswmAxugGnj

Liam blinked.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx5sLtoCm4

"What?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jFVXULSMl

Adrian leaned closer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BC2Kv25WY

Voice low enough that only Liam could hear.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9aUTe6MAw

"Because tomorrow..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FPVBPPFB6

He glanced toward the gossiping employees.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnIga8sl5E

"...you're going to help me solve a very inconvenient problem."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bm7lcvuGv

Liam frowned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCRGLBvExP

"What problem?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7dqgL4f0n

Adrian looked directly into his eyes.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYy1SPTFuB

Then said the words that would ruin Liam's peaceful life forever.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOJPQPVedn

> "Everyone thinks we're dating now."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKryLOfHF0q

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHid3ZxFq52

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f0IFxaEf3
