BLURB:
When Remi Stone is
promoted to director at Icor Tech by the INSANELY HOT, chiseled, PERFECT 10
CEO, the last thing she expected was for chaos to ensue. Boy—she should have
been more prepared.
Who would have ever thought that being 23.7 hours early for a meeting would ever lead to a series of life-changing events that would see me influencing the course of a billion-dollar corporation—but I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s go back to the day AFTER my time-anxiety induced early bird mishap.
You see, I went into Icor Tech’s boardroom to present at the quarterly ‘Innovation Meeting,’ completely unprepared for all the enemies I was about to make. The board itself—and all the directors!
But that’s exactly what happened when the handsome, aloof, BILLIONAIRE CEO, Gabriel Icor himself, promoted me to director at 23 with NO FLIPPING WARNING!
Now, I have a bunch of seasoned board members thinking I’m an ‘upstart’ mouse. A bunch of employees angry their careers plateaued well before mine. And two insanely hot, crazy-successful, competitive, and ever charming businessmen courting me.
Oh, and get this—I’ve never so much as been on a date before.
What’s a girl to do? Well, I’ll tell you one thing that’s never advisable...
Accidentally blurting out you’re not wearing panties.

EXCERPT:
This is exactly what they expect from a millennial. Shitty
work ethics, entitlement, living in my parent’s basement. None of those traits
fit me, but the room full of grey hairs I’m about to brief don’t know that.
They don’t know that I tested out of high school at fifteen, received my
Bachelor’s in Engineering at Cornell by nineteen, and my Masters by the time I
was twenty-two. They just see a young, fair-haired woman and assumed I got my
job because of who I know or some affirmative action bullshit.
Kibbles! I can’t forget to feed Kibbles, the aging cat my
dearly departed grandmother left to me.
The cat hates me, looking for any reason to shred my bedding
and furniture. She’s possessed, more than likely by my dear dead grandma, who
was never very happy no matter how much I called, visited, or wrote. Not that
she ever really wanted to see me, but she sure did like the checks I was
writing for her. I swear, she left me Kibbles just to spite me.
It isn’t enough to leave one bowl of food out. Kibbles
demands three, placed strategically around the apartment, filled to capacity.
If the kibble level so much as lowers by half an inch, Kibbles goes into an
angry panic. She dug up every single plant one day and shredded my shower
curtain on another. The last thing I need is another Kibbles meltdown.
Oh, wonderful, the cat’s glaring at me. Don’t panic. It’s
not a big deal. It’s just a cat.
Just a cat. Ha! That’s like saying, ‘Oh, it’s just Satan,
Lord of the Underworld.’
Pull yourself together, Remi. You’re facing the board and a
room full of directors today. Don’t blow this!
