‘’Honestly I’m not quite sure’’ I shrugged ‘’but I mean in this day and age who doesn’t have their secrets, right?’’ I laughed.

‘’You’re not wrong’’ he smiled smoothing back his hands through his thick dark hair.

‘’But I mean it’s all there, you can google it and see for yourself if you like. Although, you probably won’t be able to look him directly in the eye the next time you see him, as some of what the women say in those chat forums are pretty detailed’’ I sniggered.

‘’You’ve peeked my curiosity now, so I may just do that’’ Hudson laughed out loud.

‘’Come to think of it I don’t ever remember seeing what he looked like, or what anything really looked like to be honest what with the cracked screen on my phone always distorting google images’’ I laughed ‘’I swear, if I didn’t keep thumb pressure on one side of the phone while using it, everything on the screen would turn white and I’d have to reset it, which always drove me nuts’’ I laughed ‘’hey what was his name again? My minds drawing a complete bla-‘’

‘’So, you use the Tazer app then? Do you like it?’’ Hudson asked neatly buttoning down his black suit jacket, looking just as handsome as ever in his matching black trousers, open-collar white shirt, and a rich scented cologne somewhere between musk and moonlight, that beautifully lingered the air I breathed from the apartment suite all the way to now.

‘’Of course, it’s like one of my favorite apps ever’’ I babbled on ‘’and with my fancy new cell phone I can’t wait to get back on there later and catch up with all my fave celeb gossip’’ I grinned again, watching now as Hudson beeped the car closed before we entered together into the huge Tazer headquarters building where he worked.

My agape mouth still hadn’t closed even when stepping out from the building's tall glass elevator doors, which we took to the top floor where Hudson told me his office was located. I had so many questions, and soooo many pictures even without permission that I wanted to take. But, I was now a highly paid high-end PA– well, that’s how I titled it in my head anyway, lol- so anything other than complete professional etiquette at this time would simply not be tolerated. Besides, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of time for pictures and other fun stuff in the future. But right now, learning the job and making Hudson proud was my biggest priority.

‘’I take this to be the famous ‘out-of-town cousin’ you told me about. She’s very pretty Avery’’ boomed the sudden incandescent voice of an upper-class British accent, double-handle swinging open both doors to Hudson’s office we were about to enter, where out strutted a tall well-built man with cool silver blonde hair, looking rather like a red carpet Jared Leto in his stylish work attire of a grey suit, and light gray open-collared shirt on his body, half concealing a medieval cross tattoo I could see on the left side of his neck. Upon his face sat an interesting Cheshire cat smile, ironically synonymous of The Joker in which his doppelganger once played, one that perfectly matched his already mischievous personality. And above it, a pair of dark evergreen eyes that looked every part of my body up and down with dissecting detail.

Out of town cousin huh? So that’s who I am to you is it now Hudson? Lol!

With a playful dismissive wave of his hand across at ‘’Avery’’ who threw his head back laughing in amusement, I felt my own hand pulled forward and the top of it kissed firmly by a man I could see needed no introduction, but did anyway as he introduced himself to me as….

‘’Skipp Bennett is the name, and you Miss Runway model are simply fabulous!’’ he beamed down at me.

‘’Alright Skipp, that’s enough’’ chuckled Hudson, politely taking my hand back from him.

‘’Oh I haven’t even begun ole boy’’ replied Skipp with a widened grin ‘’so, does she have a name?’’ he asked curiously burrowing his green eyes down at me, a look so intense I could already feel it making me nervous, as he stood feasting in every inch of my frame as to who I really was…

Now’s the time…

’’My name is Taylor Wainwright, Hudson’s new PA. It’s very nice to meet you Mr. Bennett’’ I said extending my practiced handshake out to him.

‘’PA? Your new PA?’’ Skipp repeated across at Hudson, his hands smoothly enclosing over mine in eagerness to shake.

‘’That’s right’’ smiled Hudson, politely repeating his action of taking back my hand from Skipp, and lightly placing his own around my waist ‘’…she’s also off limits’’ I heard him whisper across to him, and with a polite show of gentleman’s laughs the two agreed to catch up later for lunch, before Skipp courteously exited the office leaving myself and Hudson alone together.

‘’He’s rather interesting’’ I chuckled moments later.

‘’You have no idea’’ Hudson chuckled back, and left it at that.

At his humbled request, I began familiarizing myself around his office, as I was informed my new position will most likely demand me being in and out of here on a regular basis.

‘’Can I get you something to drink while you look around Taylor? A coffee perhaps?’’ Hudson asked politely.

‘’Oh yes please, thank you’’ I nodded over at him, before going back to looking at the tall mahogany bookcase situated in one corner of the office that I was stood in front of, rich with every kind of reading literature a man of his stature was imagined to enjoy.

‘’One white Americano with two sweetener shots coming up’’

‘’You remembered’’ I turned to him and smiled.

‘’Of course’’ he smiled back ‘’oh and by the way, please don’t mind my CEO Skipp, he’s just being a brat because I gave myself the day off yesterday’’ Hudson laughed.

‘’Mm hm…with your ‘out of town cousin’ no doubt’’ I smirked.

‘’I swear there’s a good story behind that’’ he grinned handing me my coffee, before going over to his desk and sitting down while I continued to look around.

‘’Oh wow, all of these achievements yours?’’ I asked walking over to the marble mantelpiece on the far wall, and taking up one of the golden trophies sitting there to look at…that’s when everything suddenly hit me! And I almost wheeze choked out my coffee when realizing…

‘’Oh my god, it…it’s you. YOU’RE the founder of Tazer’’
