My biggest crush is now my enemy.
Harriet
The dreamiest guy I've ever met insulted me cruelly, dashing all my hopes that we were meant to be together. Naturally I unleashed my righteous fury upon him.
So, funny thing. It turns out I...might have...misunderstood.
Next step: confess my mistake. Which is quite a challenge when the man in question won't speak a civil word to me and in fact now flat-out hates me.
He's my sister's boss, so the whole thing surprised me. That special day we spent together was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Apparently when life hands you a rare thing, a thing of beauty, you only get the one chance to grab it.
And that day, I, Harriet Phillips, quick of temper and romantically clumsy, lost mine.

In a reckless moment I made a major error of judgment. I lowered my guard with a soft, curvy bookworm. Between her adorable Agatha Christie obsession and her blunt lack of pretension, she seemed utterly sincere. I trusted her.
Turns out the woman is nothing like the sweetheart I thought. Luckily she showed me her true colors before I gambled everything and revealed all my secrets.
Oh, well. I'm done with trying to have a serious relationship. Except for one nagging problem....
That day we had a rare connection. I can't stop wondering what was real about her and what was fake. As much as I despise Harriet, I can't forget her.
It doesn't matter, though. I have other things to worry about. It's time to be ruthless.
Next steps: Put
that day
behind me. Go back to my former shallow, meaningless dating. Forget Harriet's offbeat personality and her delicious body. Double down on my new CEO position. Remove all traces of Harriet from my phone. Stop dreaming about how her luscious curves would feel in my hands. Above all,
don't reply to her last text.
