Kim woke up before her alarm, which immediately pissed her off.
She stared at the ceiling for a full minute, listening to the city hum outside her window, watching the early morning light creep across the paint. Monday. First day as a secretary. New title, new desk, new responsibilities. Same brain that wouldn't shut up.
"Secretary," she muttered, testing how it sounded out loud. It was dtill weird, still made her stomach flip.
She dragged herself out of bed and into the shower, letting the hot water run longer than necessary. Her mind was already racing,what if she messed up? What if this was a mistake? What if Ethan Cole realized within the first hour that he'd made a terrible decision?
She turned off the water before she could spiral further.
