EPOV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. It was five-thirty in the morning; it is a really early time to get up, but I like to get in an hour workout every day, preferably in the mornings when I have just woken up, it gives me a fresh start to the day.

I quickly got into my gym clothes and headed to the gym room on the second floor. My house was pretty big – it was four stories. I had many entertainment rooms. It is practically a mansion you could say. I have lived in mansions since I was born, so I wouldn't want to be in a different environment. I have adapted well to living in big spaces.

After my workout, I went to go and take a shower, afterwards I got ready for work. Before, brushing my teeth, I went downstairs to grab a substantial breakfast, so I won't feel hungry already at nine o'clock in the morning. I decided to fry myself up a cheese omelette. After breakfast, I placed my plate in the sink and made my way back upstairs to brush my teeth.

I was out of the house at eight o'clock. On my way to work I was jamming to Bruno Mars' new single 'Treasure'. Best song of all time, it has that eighties-feel to it. "Treasure, that is what you are, honey you're my golden star. You can make my wish come true, if you let me treasure you." I sang along with the song. I arrived at work around twenty-past eight.

As I walked onto the tenth floor, I greeted and was greeted by everyone.

I even walked past Lauren who was trying to look irresistible. She failed miserably. I walked into my office and just before I walked in I noticed the office next to mine's door was open. I guess it is time to meet the new employee…


BPOV.

Strange. I woke up later than usual this morning. I usually wake up at five thirty, but this morning I only awoke at six o'clock. Once I realized I overslept, I ran downstairs to have breakfast. I prepared myself a bowl of Jungle Oats. After breakfast, I quickly got ready and left. I arrived at work not to late – ten-minutes-past eight.

I went to the front desk on the first floor to be allocated to my office. I was office 10E on the tenth floor. My office was most probably situated next to the other senior executive's offices.

Once I was in my office, a man came barging in. Uhm, excuse me? Have you ever heard of knocking?

"Bella? I am Mike. Your new boss." He said extending an arm out for me to shake.

"Good day, Mike. It is very nice to meet you," I said taking his hand to shake it.

"The pleasure is all mine, so what do you think of your new office?" he asked me with a quaint smile.

"It is much bigger than the one I had at TTIC. I like it," I said with approval evident in my voice.

"That's good. Anyway, your assistant will be Jessica Stanley. She is not here yet, but she will introduce herself to you during the course of the day." He told me, "You will also meet your partners, the other two senior executives, during the course of the day." He said with a smile, I responded with a nod and a smile. After that he left me to settle in.

I was sitting at my desk when a young man with copper brown hair, knocked on my door (since my door was open I could see). I looked up at him, "You may come in," I responded with a smile.

He walked towards my desk, "Hello, I am Edward, Edward Cullen and you are?" I think he said; I was too lost in his emerald green eyes. They are beautiful. Wait. Did he say Edward Cullen? I only knew one Edward Cullen and that is the one I was in the same grade with for five years of my life. The Edward Cullen, I am talking about had the same emerald green eyes, the same copper hair and the same velvety voice. Not that I have ever spoken to him before, it is just I remember when he responded in class and when he would present speeches – the same velvety voice. But the funny thing is: I didn't like Edward Cullen. I don't think I will like him now, either. He was way too full of himself in high school and I doubt he has changed. Yes, he was handsome, but that doesn't give him a good attitude nor personality. Though, someone like him, would never go for someone like me. I don't date employees, anyway, if he attempted to ask me out.

"Hello?" he repeated twice.

"Oh, I am so sorry. My name is Isabella Swan, but can call me Bella," I said with a smile – one that was forced, I just want to be polite. He looked almost… shocked?

"It is very nice to meet you," he said with a crooked smile. If I were not sitting my legs would've given up under me, okay, he has a beautiful smile. Ugh, Bella, you are so infuriating. Stop thinking about him like this. You don't like him. Remember that!

"Likewise," I said lying, because it was not nice meeting him and I knew he already knew me. He was just too self-centred to admit it.

"Well, I got some work I have to complete. I will catch you later," he said with that oh-so-Edward crooked smile.

"Bye, catch you later," I replied, hoping I really wouldn't catch him later. After, he walked out I returned my attention to my computer.

I had a few documents and work that had to be completed which was handed over to me by Jessica. Jessica is my new assistant and she is so sweet. We were deep in conversation until we were interrupted by a pixie-like girl.

I heard a knock on my door and there stood a petite built girl, with short, black, pixie-like hair that framed her face. She reminded me so much of a girl I used to go to school with. What was her name? Oh yes, Alice Cullen. The sister of Edward Cullen.

"Hello," she said all cheerfully, "I am Alice; I am on the board of senior executives with you."

"Hello, Alice. I am Bella and I look forward to working with you." I said walking around my desk so I was standing in front of her; I extended an arm to shake hers. But she did not shake it. No, she just hugged me super tight. She may be small, but she has lots of strength.

Alice was Edward's sister. I liked her more than Edward in high school, so she has a better chance at being my friend than he does. She was sweet, so there was no reason for me not to like her.

"I just know that we are going to be great friends," Alice said happily and excitedly. I didn't know what to say in response, so I just smiled. "So, have you met my brother?" she asked me.

"Edward, right?" I asked, trying to act unsure and she nodded. "Yeah, I have." I said with a polite smile.

"What do you think of him?" she asked, which threw me off a bit.

"He seems like a okay man..." I said lying, just don't bring up that subject or I don't think I will like you anymore. She looked pretty disappointed when I finished my sentence.

"Oh okay," she said with a sly smile, that had me a little worried, "I will see you later then. Bye," she called over her shoulder as she exited my office.

Once she was gone I got back to doing what I was doing before she came in. It was twelve o'clock and I was starting to feel quite hungry.


EPOV.

I closed my door and slid my back down it. No way. This can't be happening. Have I been given a second chance to correct my past?

Isabella Swan was the new employee. This cannot be possible, there was one in a billion chances she could've been the new employee.

I just can't think straight. I sat there what felt like hours, making up scenarios up in my head about Bella and me. I was way overboard, I found enough determination to get up and get some work done. I finished some contracts and documents.

My sister came in and spoke to me for a little while and afterwards made her way towards Bella's office to introduce herself. I was a bit worried about that, what was she going to say to her? Was she going to mention me? I don't know.

All I could think about was Bella's figure behind the desk, her long chocolate brown hair framing her face, looking into her deep brown pools of eyes and hearing that melodic voice that I remember from way back in high school. After I introduced myself, she zoned out for a while. Maybe she was ogling over me? I hope so, I actually think too much of myself. I am quite vain, and I am not proud of it. Though she so wanted me.

I even used my crooked smile, to try and get her to like me a bit – that would be a good start.

It was twelve o'clock and I was in the mood for my weekly treat. Every week, once a week I would go to the frozen yogurt shop just down the road. They served the best frozen yogurt ever. It is ninety-nine per cent fat free, but only if you had toppings. If you had no toppings it is one-hundred per cent free. I popped into Alice's office to check if she will accompany me in getting frozen yogurt, but she was too busy. She suggested I invite Bella. That is a good idea; maybe I will get to know her better.

I popped my head into her office, to see her typing away on her laptop. "Uhm, Bella?" she looked up startled.

"Gees, Mister Cullen. You scared me," she said with a straight face. Wait, did she just call me Mister Cullen? Polite and gorgeous. Hmmm, she is the whole package.

"Sorry," I said walking into her office, "Miss Swan," I said with my famous crooked smile.

"Can I help you with anything?" she asked giving me her full attention, still looking stern. Maybe this wasn't a good idea, well, I am here now.

"Uhh, yeah, you actually can. Well, uh, I was about to head down to the, uh, frozen yogurt bar, just down the, uh, road and I was wondering if you would maybe, uh, like to join me?" I asked stutteringly. I am so obvious.

"That sounds, uh, delicious, but it is my first day and I don't want to look like I am slacking off, maybe next time?" she told me, I was pretty disappointed at her response.

"Bellaaa, it is lunch time now and plus, you have been working the whole morning. Please? I really want to get to know my new business partner. We are going to be working together on all the projects, so I really think we should make a friendship base and this frozen yogurt outing will be the perfect opportunity." I said too pleadingly, she is going to think I am so desperate.


Bella POV.

I looked into his pleading eyes and he flashed a crooked smile, I just couldn't find it in myself to say 'no' to him, he is making it very hard for me not to like him. Maybe, he has changed? Let me give him a chance.

"You are so infuriating." I said with a smile, he just chuckled at my description of him.

"Well, we are getting to know each other, right?" he asked with a wink.

"Fine, let's go and get… uhm?" I said already forgetting what our outing was about.

"Frozen yogurt?" he suggested.

"Yes, that!" I said with victory, he just laughed at me; I was starting to fall in love with his chuckle.

"Okay, well let's go then." He said walking towards the door and indicating that I go first.

"Why thank you, Mister Cullen." I said with the first honest smile I have ever given him. He is not too bad, I guess.

Within seconds he was by my side and we were getting strange looks from everyone. While they were looking they whispered to each other. Great the gossip of the building is going to be 'Senior Executives seeing each other.' Well, this office gossip is going to get quite old.

We took his car and went to a frozen yogurt bar called 'WakaBerry'. There flavours were delicious and the yogurt was one-hundred per cent fat free, well excluding the toppings that is.

We chose a table at the back of the bar; this is where we got to know each other more.

"Okay, so you said that we are here to get to know each other?" I asked while licking the FroYo off of my blue spoon.

"Yeah. Uhm… let's play twenty-one questions?" his statement came out more like a question.

"Okay, sounds cool. You go first," I suggested.

"Okay, uh, what is your favourite colour?" he asked me.

"Green." I said, green became my favourite colour today and I think you know why. "You?"

"Brown." That's a peculiar colour. Hmmm, I wonder.

"My turn, uh, what is your favourite food?" I questioned him.

"Sushi, you?" I love sushi.

"Pretty coincidental, but my favourite food is also sushi."

The game carried on like that; I learnt that he preferred Volvos to any other car; he loves dogs and much other stuff that I would've never guessed.

After we finished playing our game and finished our FroYo we headed back to the office, but there was lots of traffic along the way, so the trip took longer than I thought. We were stuck in highway traffic, when a song started playing and I heard the most beautiful thing ever. I looked towards the left of me, to see his lips moving in synchronisation with the music - that is what the lovely sound was.

"Give me your, give me your, give me your attention baby.

I want to tell you something about yourself.

You're a wonderful, flawless oh you're a sexy lady.

But you are walking around here like you want to be somebody else."

He has an amazing voice. Once the song finished I looked at him awestruck.

"Uhh, Edward. You are amazing!" I practically shouted with enthusiasm.

"Uh, thanks, Bells, uh, I mean Bella." He said shyly.

"It is fine, you can call me Bells." I said with a smile, he looked a bit more relaxed, "but only if I get to call you Eddie," I said trying to hold back a laugh.

"No." he said trying to act serious.

I just had to laugh at his tone of voice and his expression. "Oh, Edward. You humour me."

"Thanks I guess." He said. He looked like he wanted to get something off of his chest. "Bella?" he asked.

"Yeah?" I responded.

"I just wanted to say…"


Oh look it is a cliffie. What do you think he is going to say? – post your thoughts in reviews.

Well, Bella thinks he is the same obnoxious and vain Edward he used to be, looks like her mind changed quickly though… what do you think of her thoughts on Edward?

I am going to Sun City tomorrow, so I decided I would give you guys your SECOND update in ONE day. Hope you enjoy.
