Blurb "You should know by now, The more you run away, the more I feel attracted to you, Dunn," Mason's cold voice rings in my head for the ninth time. I never imagined that a slap could change my life forever A visit to the club changed my life when I met the man I wished I had never met, The man who became my boss. I became His Alluring Obsession. At the mention of his name, everyone composes themself if only the name doesn't send them onto their knees. Seeing only his shoes, Fear enters his employer's body. That was the man who became obsessed with me. A regretful meeting. Will Dunn be able to resist her attraction towards her ruthless boss? Will Dunn be able to convince herself that what she is feeling for him is not love?
A grating alarm went off across the room, so loud it nearly broke her eardrum. Dunn swung her left hand angrily, slamming it into the alarm and seriously damaging it.
With bags under her eyes, she mouthed, "A blissful morning to get late," as she got out of bed.
"I shouldn't have started that drama, now I'm doomed for not being able to sleep" When she realized that today was the general meeting with the higher-ups, her whining continued.
"What the.." She cried out and bolted into the bathroom. This girl woke up at eight thirty am and is expected to resume by nine am, so she will not be spending the twenty to thirty minutes that a normal girl would spend in the restroom.
She spent an additional minute after taking a shower because she nearly forgot to brush her teeth. She cast a glance in her closet in search of an understated yet elegant dress.
She was still grumpy at the thought of the big meeting with the superiors today. With a sigh, Dunn chose a corporate teal gown that fit her well-it was not too big or too tight.
She leaned over to try to find a heel, but none was on offer.
"Damn!!" She exclaimed looking at how pathetic she was. She placed her legs into a black boot and carried her normal cross bag to fit it.
She told herself, "I look gorgeous and expensive," but her feelings deceived her and she started to laugh at herself.
"But I am way better than that Los Angeles model." She growled and left the house. After tossing her keys into the bag and closing her door, she realized she had not eaten.
She dismissed it with a shrug and called a cab to get her to work.
She made a mouthful, "Lavender News station please." She works as a secretary for the general manager of the station.
She hissed, making the driver look at her disgustingly through the mirror as she said, "That flirty old man." She swiftly collected herself and settled back to enjoy the ride as soon as she realized that.
"Your money is $100, ma'am. We are here." As she heard the driver's voice, she forced herself to slowly open her eyes and stretch.
"Gratitude" After that, she got off and turned to face the building ahead of her.
"I'm partially doomed" She stumbled in and nearly fell, tripping over her shoelaces. She bent over to tie it properly.
"You're still tying your laces, The time is nine fifteen am and I took permission to come call you on the phone" She heard my friend and colleague's voice making her raise her head.
"Don't worry, I lied on your behalf so just go in and tell them you had a runny stomach due to indigestion which made you come late" Laura, Her friend smirked.
She mumbled as a result of thinking, "When I thought she had helped me, how do I say something so awkward in front of everyone?"
"Now that you are following me, walk as though you are dehydrated." With a laugh, Laura entered the station, Dunn trailing closely behind.
The moment she stepped her feet into the meeting hall, The faces that turned in her direction, their eyes alone made her dehydrated so no need to pretend.
"You shouldn't have any excuse to come late for a meeting like this " Thank goodness no one witnessed her flirtatious old boss, Mr. Lake, almost scream, causing her to squirt in disgust.
With his customary flirtatious tone, Johnny said, "Come and sit here."
Hiding her distaste, she thought, "I have a legitimate reason for detesting Johnny since I hate guys who are clingy and love talking naughty."
"Unfortunately, someone who deliberately investigated one of the wealthiest models and brought attention to our news station has to be fired." With anticipation of learning what would happen next, everyone looked up.
The mention of Dunn's name had everyone in a state of extreme shock.
Her lower lips drop down immediately as she stutters, overwhelmed with confusion.
"Dear Dunn Edwards, you are hereby fired as a secretary to the general manager of this station for digging out an unfavorable article about Joan, One of our most cherished and loved models in the whole of the United States" The man was known to be the CEO of the station mouthed and penned down.
She and the other staff's confusion skyrocketed as they watched the higher-ups leave the meeting room.
"Why did you do that?" Nancy mouthed, putting on a sympathetic look.
"Do what? I didn't know anything" She mouthed looking at Nancy with confusion all over her facial expression.
"Everyone here knows how much you detest Joan, so I'm not surprised you could do it " Except for Laura, Nancy walked out of the meeting hall wearing an evil smile that she quickly covered up.
"I will come meet you at home, but you have to leave now before they call the security," Laura said, looking pitifully at her friend.
"I will stay till three pm before I get going, I have to pack my things too" Dunn smiled sadly. She stood up and proceeded to rest and pack her things later in the day.
"To celebrate my defeat, I am positive I will head to the club and get wasted." With sobs and dejected eyes, she too left.
************
Joan was seen with her phone placed on her right ear. She was receiving a call which made her smile.
"I got the job done ma'am" One of the girls she sent on an errand voice came in through her phone.
"I will send you the remaining payment now, I will clear away people that dislike me. I'm Joan, America's treasure and hottest model" She smirked, putting an end to the phone call.
She smiled satisfied at the result of her actions "I don't care if I stooped so low but I'm coming to New York soon and I need a clear path" She mouthed, picking up the glass cup in front of her and placing her lips on the edge of the cup to gulp down the content.
"What the hell is this?" She screamed, spitting out the wine angrily.
"I apologize, ma. You were occupied on the phone when I brought it, so it became mixed with room temperature." One of the maids begs on her knees.
"You are a crazy bitch; you ought to have shoved your meaningless justifications down my throat." She yelled, throwing the glass cup in her direction and she dared not try to dodge it.
" You are fired! " She screamed. She stood up and walked away to avoid getting angrier just by looking at those lowlifes.

As the most despised Omega in Crest pack, Mavana shocked the assembled crowd. An Omega who has always been despised and detested. How could she respond to the Alpha with words of her own? What made her so fearless? Mavana grinned and grinned, rolling her eyes at the people's shocked expressions. "Rather, I, Mavana Fae of Crest Pack, decline your offer to be my mate, Alpha Carlos Vert." She sensed the mate bond being severed the instant the words left her voice cord.
