You and Nikolai have been enemies since high school.

And now that you guys are grown adults, you both work at the same company. Actually, you work for his parents company and Nikolai was gonna be a soon-to-be-CEO of his family business.

You both quarrel constantly and you sometimes wonder how you’re not fired yet.

You were competitive, it didn’t mean you hated each other. Sometimes you catch Nikolai staring at you. He must’ve been glaring. Weird.

You had a sudden thought that came into mind and wanted to ask him during your work time. “You’re Russian, right?” You ask. Nikolai raises a brow.

“Yes. Why are you asking?” He leans a bit too close to your liking.

“Say something in Russian,” You said.

"Ty samaya krasivaya zhenshchina kotoruyu ya kogda-libo videl,” He says without hesitation.

“What did you say?” You tilt your head.

“You’re annoying,” He smirks, earning an eye roll from you.

You turned away and continued to work. Little did he know, you learned Russian just for him. He just called you the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
