this chapter started off fun and light and then the whole thing with her parents! wow!

sorry i don't have much time to give elaborate reviews, i'll try and give more detailed ones in the future.

i like drake much more in this chapter. he's light and condescending, but not forceful, it's just an aspect of his personality. i didn't like him in some of the previous chapters because he was arrogant and rude and dragged alora around. for all of her being an artist and despising suits, she doesn't seem to speak up for herself too much.

but in this chapter it really showed their relationship and how close it's gotten, he's almost like a mentor, which i like. instead of being bossy and annoying.

yay this chapter was cute!

but i think he is becoming a stalker.

this story seems really fun.

i liked the opening chapters.

will definitely be back to read the rest.

Interesting turn of events. Drake's behavior is not too unusual, considering he is the president, and it might not seem wise to show her too much favor in front of other employees. It might spark rumors, be unprofessional, etc. But he probably could have at least smiled. I like that Alora has a job now that places her in closer contact with Drake, so I am sure we will be seeing more of him in the future chapters. :) Entertaining and well-written chapter, and I look forward to the next!

KELLY!

I'm so sorry for not reading and reviewing any sooner. I hadn't forgotten about your story.

I LOVE where you've taken this. Xander deals X. Nice. Hehe. And Alora's new coworkers are really fun characters. I have to say, I'm a little surprised to see so many artsy kids at this big businessy company. When you first mentioned the visual department, I pictured it to be full of interior decorators or something. I don't know. Nevermind all that.

Anywho. Please keep writing. And I really hope you're doing well. And be sure to let me know when you post a new chapter up. I really appreciate those mails. :)

I miss you.

I absolutely love this story to pieces. :) Drake is so cute with his suits and braid, and Alora reminds me of myself. Keep up the fantastic writing!

This story always makes my day. I can't wait to hear Drake explain his way out of this one, I am sure he had a point but ouch. I am glad she likes the job though can't wait til she has that talk with the rest of her family. Thanks for the great update.

Am I the only one who thinks it should have been longer? . Show of hands? Anyone? DX

Yar!

But I loved the conversations between the hilarious Miss Mueller and Alora. X3

I'd had a feeling that the suit that Alora knew and loved (well, sort of. XD) was a different persona from the one he used when working. I just took him for that cold intellectual type, which is why it's always so extra amusing to see him become baffled by Alora's behavior and words. XD

Of course, lovely, emotional Alora is reacting very badly to Office Drake because that was the last friend she had left, in a way... the last who cared enough to try to help her out right away, anyway. _ ;

Ever since that morning of the interview, ever since that cold and empty stare he gave-as if she wasn't there-Lorie's been afraid... I think she's just afraid of being hurt... that's what it sounds like... and since she's very vulnerable right now, the last thing she needs is to have the last dependable friend she has show any kind of sketchy behavior, or ignore her completely... u.u

That's just sad-depressing... u.u

Hey! i'm not sure if i reviewed the last few chaapters i've been reading, but I love it! now one of my favourite stories on fp.

Their relationship is really strange! how old is Drake?

I really liked this chapter just because it was about alora and her new job, something different!

Hey sorry to review an older chapter but I thought I'd let you know I tried Nutmeg and liked it!

Yay! New people! Her job already sounds fun! (I think friends make a job more interestring) Glad to see things are on the up for Alora!

it's pretty good so far. ahh the interviewer's name changed in this one; it started out as maria but then became linda. lol. i've done that before. so great work and i cant wait for more

Hi! I have always love your story right from the start. The Drake/Alora relationship is as some said strange but I rather favour it.

Anyway, I started reading and I can't help be ask this question: "“Better marry a CEO.”" Is this some foreshadowing I read?

Thanks for the great story. Keep up the good work :)

I can't help but love how this story is going... Xander is finally rid off and Alora and Drake are closer now. It's funny because I wouldn't have been able to read this chapter until next week because I was going to log off but luckily my author alert went through and I got to read this chapter as soon as you update! I have been a fan of your work, drageneyez... Keep it up and I'm looking forward to more of Nutmeg :)

PS. Will there be any romance between Alora and Drake? If there is... It's like opposites attract heh. :)
