A/n : I know it's getting a bit boring so I'm gonna write some part from Nathan's POV. Also plseeeeee bear with me, the plot is really about to thicken.

Nathan's POV

"So, if we acquire the land, we ca-" I was cut off by a loud thud from next room and the lights of the whole floor went out.

"I'm really sorry gentlemen. I'll handle it right away." I said in a calm voice. Mr. Raymonds laughed and said," If you can't handle your own employees how do you expect us to believe that you can handle such a mega project. We don't want to lose our money, now do we?" He instigated and made me lose all the investors. I always knew he wanted to take over the project and steal the ideas of my company. And now, because of her bullshit,  he might have a chance.

I was literally boiling with anger right now. Since when did she become a walking disaster!

"Ms. Clark," I commanded as I went out personally to inspect and she followed behind.

"McAdams!" I thundered barging into the room. She turned instantaneously shock written all over her face.

" I am so so sorr-" but I cut her off.

"You have crossed your limit, now! Do you have any idea how much you've lost me? You're immaturity and idiocy has gone to the next level Charolette!" I practically screamed. "You're not only imbecile, you're behaving like a crazy lady. You lay down those useless motherf**king conditions and you can't even get anything right. You are even worse than those other six. At least they don't demand, if they can't deliver. You've lost me millions today, you know that?" I seethed.

She kept her head down. Oh wow, silent treatment.

"Now you tell me!" I shouted and she shivered. She was so scared. Maybe I did go overboard. I let a frustrated groan and ran a hand through my hair.

She finally faced me with brimming eyes but a tear dared not escape.  I instantly felt a pang of guilt. She was angry. "I quit. For good." She picked up her bag and was about to leave but she turned around and came up to me.

And slapped me.

And she left. It was a painful angry slap.

"Dude why did you agree to her conditions in the first place?" Mark said.

"I donno, I guess she reminded me of someone and I wanted to keep her close. " I stated honestly. He stopped with his pull ups and walked to me while I still ran on the treadmill.

"Rachel!?" He said almost shocked while I rolled my eyes.

"No. But I'm not so sure right now. It's just that, Charolette was so different today. Her eyes.... they were more intense than usual. I could feel it," I said simply.

"Don't tell me you are again in one of those modes where you find every woman like her." He asked in disbelief.

"Like who?"

"You know who, from when we were in business school." He rolled his eyes at my attempt to feign ignorance. He knows me too well.

" I'm gonna do some digging ," I said slowing the speed of the treadmill. "Stop with this obsession and have sex. You'll feel better." He stated to erase my thoughts.

I knocked at apartment number 206 for the nth time when the door opened. I found her in a tank top and shorts. Her hair were tied up and there was a spatula in her hand. As soon as she saw me, she closed the door but it was too late. My foot was already inside.

"What do you want?" She sounded annoyed. "I want to know what you did to the real Charolette McAdams." I plainly said just to see her expression. If she was an imposter, she'd be scared and if she was real, it'll be like a pickup line. But she was kind of relieved? I did not know what that meant.

She opened the door fully and let me in. The apartment was modest, actually quite stuffy for my taste and small too. There was a couch and an open modular kitchen behind it. I could smell chicken and soup? I guess. I made myself comfortable on the couch. She went to the kitchen for a But and returned with a glass of water in her hand. For herself. Okay I get it. She is still mad.

"So, who are you?" I started the conversation awkwardly. From when did she have the power to make me lose my confidence.

She scrutinized me with her intense eyes contemplating if she could trust me or not. "If I wanted to harm you, I would've by now." I said.

"Mia... Mia Kyle." My breath hitched. It was her. I knew it. She was alive!

"Long story short, I woke up today in here. I have no idea how it happened. Actually that's the only story." She rambled without noticing me. I knew surely it was her. That honest, straightforward naive, incredibly sexy girl.

Nathan's POV

I looked at her for the first time and I knew I had to have her. She sat in the corner of the sofa quietly as Dr. Anderson, our family doctor went inside to check up on my grandfather, who was sick, leaving me alone with her.

I sat on the sofa maintaining a safe distance. I could tell she was very shy and kept on looking in the opposite direction. "I know that you know I'm here." She looked at me embarrassingly with wide eyes.

"Nathan," I held out a hand. "Mia" she replied shaking my hand. There was something so attractive about her. I  felt goosebumps on my body just from a single touch. We talked for a bit. Apparently she's in a medical school, first semester and met Dr. Anderson on her way to the market. His car had broken down so she helped, since it was an emergency and he was one of the professors of the fourth year. She really talks a lot. After a point I zoned out, all I could think about was her eyes, they shined and her lips.... So fucking sexy. I wanted to kiss her so bad and when she was trying to remember something, she'd bite her lip. Okay I was having all kinds of wild thoughts about this girl.

Dr. Anderson interrupted her ignorant rambling and my staredown by calling me. I saw my mum, dad and sister standing there beside him. My mum had an awed expression and my dad was angry. My sister was about to tease me but I interrupted her and said,"Yes, um... How's Grandpa?"

Mia was silent and she looked down, completely embarrassed. Someone was sick and we were busy socializing.

"He passed away. Had a heart attack." I nodded. Grandpa started living with here only a few weeks ago when his condition became worse and he couldn't manage the ranch. Yes, he lived in  countryside. That was the reason why me, mum and Christina were not much attached to him. He had refused to see dad since dad moved to New York and that was when Chris was two and I wasn't even born.

Mia's eyes widened as she got up and excused her self out. Dr. Anderson hushed her to go and reassured her that we'll give him a ride. What a caring girl.

She was about to get into her car when I stopped her. "Mia.... Can I get your number? I'd really like to take you out on a date." I asked. From what I had picked up from our little interaction was that she was straightforward and liked the same.

"Now... is not really a good time," she said hesitantly.

"Did something bad happen to you?" I asked concerned.

And she scoffed

"No, your grandfather just passed away and you sure do seem unmoved," I could tell she was judging me.

"You don't have to worry about that," I said rather smugly.

She gasped. "No, you can't get my number!" And got in her car.

"Wait! He didn't even know my name correctly....ever," I shouted as she drove away.
"He called me Neil." I muttered.
