Zahair by Gianni Holmes

Who fires someone for playing Christmas carols at the office?
My sexy, brooding ass of a boss, that’s who.

I should have listened when they told me my boss is a Scrooge.
That he hates Christmas and wants the office devoid of holiday cheer.
Instead, I fantasized about him as the caregiver I’ve always wanted.
Of him bringing back the meaning of Christmas to my life.
Who knew the way he looks at me is worth as much as a partridge in a pear tree?
One tiny mistake and I’m standing on the curb with a box filled with my crushed heart, a fake tabletop Christmas tree, and the miserable truth that I’ll be homeless for sure.
When an accident brings us together two weeks later, the care he shows me leaves me confused. How can I trust him again when the reason I’ve been living on the streets is all because of him?
