Chasing His Heart
Ep 1
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*opening her eyes* Ugh... another Monday.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*staring at the ceiling* Why is it so hard to wake up?
She stretched lazily before finally dragging herself out of bed.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*to herself* Shower first, coffee later.
She grabbed a towel, stepped into the bathroom, and let the warm water wake her up. After a few minutes, she slipped into a casual blouse and jeans, ready to take on the day.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*walking downstairs* Let’s get this day started... somehow.
In the kitchen, Charlotte prepared her favorite breakfast—a warm bread roll stuffed with fresh strawberry jam. As she spread the jam, she heard tiny footsteps behind her.
Alex Rivers (FL little brother)
Morning, Charlie!
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*smiling* Morning, Alex. Already dressed up?
Alex Rivers (FL little brother)
Yep! I’ve got a test today. Wish me luck!
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
You don’t need luck, you’re the smartest 10-year-old I know.
Charlotte handed him the bread, ruffled his hair, and watched as he grabbed his bag and rushed out the door.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*to herself* Okay, time for work. Another day, another boring meeting.
But Charlotte didn’t know her day was about to get anything but boring...

Ep 2
The shrill beeping of Charlotte’s alarm clock jolted her awake. Her eyes shot open, and the first thing she saw was the ceiling.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*groaning* No… no, no, no!
She reached for her phone, squinting at the time.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*panicking* I’m late!
Throwing the blanket off, she darted out of bed and straight to the bathroom.
A quick shower, a hurried change into her favorite blouse and skirt, and she was ready well, almost.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*grabbing her bag* Why can’t I wake up like a normal person?
She rushed downstairs, grabbed a piece of toast, and stuffed it into her mouth as she searched for her shoes.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*to herself* Shoes, bag, keys… where are my keys?!
After a frantic search, she found them under a pile of papers. With one last glance in the mirror, she bolted out the door, praying she’d make it to work on time.
Charlotte practically sprinted through the revolving doors of Cross Enterprises, her heart pounding.
She waved at the receptionist, who raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*to herself, rushing toward the elevator* Please don’t let Mr Andersonville notice.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
Please don’t let Mr Andersonville notice.
As the elevator doors closed, she took a deep breath, smoothing her hair and straightening her blouse.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*whispering* Just act normal.
But the moment she stepped onto her floor, she froze. Lucas Cross was standing by the coffee machine, his piercing blue eyes locked on her.
Lucas Andersonville (ML)
*Calmly* Late again, Miss Rivers?
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*flustered* I… um… the bus… traffic!
Lucas Andersonville (ML)
*raising an eyebrow* The bus doesn’t run this late.
Her cheeks burned as she tried to come up with an excuse.
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*muttering* My alarm didn’t go off.
Lucas Andersonville (ML)
*smirking* You’ve used that one before.
He turned and walked toward his office, leaving Charlotte standing there, mortified.
Emma Fernandez (FL friend)
*walking past, whispering* Rough start, huh?
Charlotte Rivers (FL)
*groaning* You have no idea.
She slumped into her chair, determined to avoid Lucas for the rest of the day. But deep down, she knew it was impossible to stay out of his orbit for long.
