How would I describe Luca Golding? Oh, boy.

Arrogant, egotistical, asshole, workaholic, snob, bossy, sexy, controlling. So many words and most of them are bad.

At twenty-eight, he’s the youngest billionaire in tech history. I guess all of those personality traits served him well. He works from sun up to sun down and I pity his assistant. As his head of public relations, I’m at his beck and call, and trust me, he always seems to be calling.

I was hired at Golding Industries right out of college. I had been so excited when I had gotten the job offer but it didn’t take me long to figure out how demanding Luca could be. He has run off his last six PR people which is probably how I made it to head of the whole department in just over two years.

I fume as I stomp down the hallway toward his office. I was supposed to be in Italy right now, sipping wine, seeing the sights, and having a hot fling. Instead of finally losing my v-card, I was forced to cancel my trip at the last minute. Luca had insisted that he needed me here to work on some upcoming software release. I had tried to argue with him but he had demanded that I stay and so I did. Only I’ve been hanging out here for two days and Luca hasn’t had me working on anything.

I’m headed to confront him now.

Laylin, my best friend, roommate, and sister from another mister, has been texting me over the last few days. She’s in Italy and I’m jealous of all of the pictures she’s been sending me. I’ve been apologizing for having to bail on her at the last minute but Laylin is a sweetheart and she understands. Besides, she knows how Luca is and wasn’t surprised when he canceled my vacation at the last minute.

Laylin claims that Luca has a thing for me but that can’t be right. He has never made a move on me or shown any interest. He’s a jerk who obviously couldn’t care less about me if his treatment and the way he bosses me around is any indication.

Laylin majored in marketing while I majored in public relations and we had dreamed of opening our own firm and working together. When I first started working for Golding, I had promised that it would only be for a short bit, just long enough for us to save up some money and grow our contacts.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about quitting more and more. I barely have a life working for Luca. He calls me at all hours, emailing me and texting if that doesn’t work. I can’t even remember the last time I went out on a date. Actually, I can. It was six months ago and Luca called me back to work before I was even finished getting ready for it.

I know Laylin would be excited to start our own
