After being headhunted by Mr Elias Andino - the CEO and founder of the billion-dollar tech empire, Andino Inc. - to lead on his daughter-in-law's new charity, I feel like I'm floating on cloud nine. Since graduating four years ago, I've worked my arse off to make a name for myself in the business world, and I couldn't be prouder of the fact that I'd been personally selected by the famous tech mogul to manage the charity that means so much to him and his family name.Everything is going swimmingly, and I've never been happier.That is until Elias drops a bombshell on me in the form of his middle child. Evander Andino. Gorgeous, intelligent and the ultimate alpha, Evander is nothing but trouble with a capital T. Appropriately dubbed as the Playboy Prince by the British media (and known by all of London to be true to that title), he has been temporarily pushed out of his managerial role within Andino Inc's finance department due to his recent uncontrollable behaviour -And he's been sent to us at Hopeful Hearts to learn a lesson. (Or something). We clash from the second that we meet. He's powerful, dominant and impossible to manage, and he has my entire team eating out of the palm of his hands from his very first day in the office. He's arrogant yet far too charming, and it makes him infuriating to be around - never mind the fact that despite my best intentions, all we seem to do is argue. But despite how much I tell myself I can't stand him, there's something about Evander Andino that I simply cannot ignore. It's not just his good looks or his irresistibly-scented cologne, either - it's him. He's funny, intelligent and incredibly witty, and beneath that Playboy Prince persona is a much more sensitive man than anyone would ever imagine.I can't go there, though. I won't. Because mixing business with pleasure is never a good idea. Right?
