<p>The first time I met Chase Parker, I didn't exactly make a good impression.<br /> <br /> I was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant, leaving a message for my best friend to save me from my awful date.<br /> <br /> He overheard and told me I was a bitch, then proceeded to offer me some dating advice.<br /> <br /> So I told him to mind his own damn business&#8213;his own tall, gorgeous, full-of-himself damn business&#8213;and went back to my miserable date.<br /> <br /> When he walked by my table, he smirked, and I watched his arrogant, sexy ass walk back to his date.<br /> <br /> I couldn't help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he caught me on more than one occasion, and winked.<br /> <br /> When the gorgeous stranger and his equally hot date suddenly appeared at our table, I thought he was going to rat me out.<br /> <br /> But instead, he pretended we knew each other and joined us&#8213;telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about our fake childhood.<br /> <br /> My date suddenly went from boring to bizarrely exciting.<br /> <br /> When it was over and we parted ways, I thought about him more than I would ever admit, even though I knew I'd never see him again.<br /> <br /> I mean, what were the chances I'd run into him again in a city with eight million people?Then again...<br /> <br /> What were the chances a month later he'd wind up being my new sexy boss?</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> VI Keeland<br><b>P
