Gabriella’s POV
I dashed to the toilet and sobbed until I was brave enough to face my darkest dread. I returned to my
seat and sat down.
"Miss Parker, meet the president of Hills Group International." We were introduced by the hotel
manager.
Since he was behaving as if he didn't know who I was, I'll do the same. I extended my hand, initiating a
handshake.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hills."
I'm not going to be frightened by this guy in front of me," I told myself as I stared him in the eyes. After
all, I'd already seen him naked.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Miss Parker. Because we have a lot of rivals out there, I want you and
your staff to offer the best."
"I understand Mr. Hills."
His brusqueness made me nearly roll my eyes. We continued to look at each other until I broke my
gaze. Seeing him lets me realize how much my son inherited from his father. I carried on with my task.
When I was finished, I turned to the hotel manager and asked him to come over and look at the final
editing of the photos. But the guy motioned for Javier to come over and have a look. He lowered
himself till I could feel his breath on the back of my neck.
“ Is this guy acting maliciously, or am I seeing things? If I could turn, I'm sure we'd end up kissing."
"What are your thoughts?" I inquired.
"You're quite excellent, Miss Parker."
"I appreciate that very much, Mr. Hills. That's what you're paying me to do. I suppose we've finished for
the day." I then focused my attention on the hotel manager. "When is the shoot tomorrow?" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"I'm not sure, Ethan, what time should Miss Parker begin shooting tomorrow?"
"Nine o'clock should work. Would Miss Parker want to have supper tonight?" I gazed at the guy with my
brow wrinkled, but quickly adjusted my expression.
"I'm sorry, Sir, but my week is already booked. I wish I could make time, but I don't have much of it.
Thank you for your offer. As I walked away, I muttered that, hoping he wouldn't say anything
else.
