2025-09-24 01:33:37Saben came from money, power, and a lifestyle that carried with it expectations. She came from having a small job at Zina Bank, a life defined by years of sacrifice and hardship. She had attempted to convince herself that their bond was something more than a transient flash of attraction, but the reality was that they were simply too disparate. And she did not wish to be the one to stifle him, to be the one he would resort to simply because he was seeking a rebound following the drama with Clarisse.
She couldn't—no, wouldn't—be that type of person.
Her phone buzzed, pulling her out of her thoughts. It was a message from Zina.
“How did things go with Saben today? I’m dying to know.”
Jenny swallowed hard. She hadn’t told Zina about her conversation with Saben, not because she didn’t want to, but because she hadn’t figured it all out herself. The last thing she wanted was to burden her friend with her unresolve

The Next MorningA soft drizzle greeted the city at dawn. The roads shimmered, wet and glistening beneath streaks of early light. Inside Thompson & Co., the mood was alive with purpose presentation day.Saben leaned against the glass wall of the executive level, sipping his coffee as he scanned slides. His suit was crisp, his eyes serene but intent. Clarisse appeared moments later, a folder clutched under her arm and a smile tugging at her lips."Morning, boss," she joked.He turned, warmth lighting his expression. "Morning, partner."She smiled at that term. Partner. It still sounded novel but right.Ready for today?" she asked, looking at the screen."Ready as long as you're by my side."Clarisse rolled her eyes but couldn't hide her smile. "Watch out, people may think we're not professional."Saben moved in, his voice low. "Let them think what they want. We'll prove ourselves in results."Before she could answer, a knock at the door interrupted them."Come in," Saben said.Jenny W

The street lights had only just started to glimmer behind the massive glass windows of Thompson & Co. Headquarters, leaving shining reflections that danced like gold across shiny floors. The building vibrated with subdued motion as the word spread Mr. Thompson was officially going out with someone… and not merely anyone Clarisse Auburn, his old flame.Whispers wafted like confetti in every nook of the office."She's been working with him for months, right?""I knew there was something about their chemistry.""She's so in love… have you seen her smile lately?"It was gossip for some. Romance in the making for others. But for Jenny White, it was a timing lesson and one of loss.Jenny stood in front of the glass balcony that looked out over the city, one cup of coffee she'd forgotten to drink clutched in her hand. On the floor below her, she could see Saben and Clarisse walking together through the lobby, their words hushed but having a rhythm that only two people who'd managed to find

Saben took a deep breath, smoothing his tie. The thrum of the city beyond his window seemed far away muffled beneath the specter of what lay ahead. He'd taken board questioning in stride, navigated billion-dollar deals, but this. this was different. This wasn't about money. It was about them.He grabbed his phone and called her extension.Clarisse glanced up, surprised by the ring. "Mr. Thompson?" she replied, attempting to steady her voice.His was a measured, calm tone, but she heard tension underlying it.Saben: "To my office. Now."She appeared a minute later, and he stood with his back to the window, arms folded, a subtle haze of concern moving over his face.Clarisse: "I received the email."Saben shook his head grimly. "I did too. HR would like to 'clear up company policy.'" His jaw clenched. "They're phrasing it an ethics review."Clarisse's heart fell. "An ethics review? We haven't done anything wrong, though. Our relationship hasn't influenced any choices."Saben spun around

The following week arrived with the type of commotion that only a big business proposal could muster. Thompson Industries was going to make a key presentation to Zina Bank a project that would ensure their global growth. And for the first time, Saben and Clarisse would present as co-presenters.All the people in the office could sense the tension. The shock of their relationship had finally dissipated, replaced by curiosity and, in some quarters, suspicion. There were those who whispered that Clarisse was receiving special treatment. Others speculated about how confident she had become under Saben's tutelage.Within Saben's office, Clarisse went over the slides once more. Her hair was pulled back neatly, her white blouse was crisp, her attention steadfast at least on the outside.Clarisse: "Slide twelve requires being revised. The numbers seem off relative to the most recent report from finance."Saben looked up from his laptop. "Already revised. Look in your inbox."Their collaborat

The news traveled quicker than a company memo.Everyone in Thompson Enterprises knew it already Mr. Thompson and Miss Clarisse were a couple. Something that started in the rumblings of the hallway had now become watercooler gossip, typically mellowed by smiles. People had seen it after all, long before they each admitted to it how Saben's eyes would soften upon Clarisse's entry, or the occasional snickers that would burst from his office.However, with the relationship made official, folks couldn't help but think about how it would influence their work. Would Clarisse receive special treatment?Would Saben be less intimidating?Or would the CEO just become more protective?The answer came on a Monday morning during a meeting that rendered everyone speechless for a moment.Clarisse had stood up, her voice firm but even, carrying clearly across the room.Mr. Thompson," she announced in a businesslike manner, "if you don't mind, I'd like to ask for a department reassignment to your e

The afternoon sun streamed gently through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Thompson Enterprises, casting long shadows across the hallway. The whispers had died down a little, replaced by the usual hum of printers, keyboards, and soft phone calls. But the topic lingered like perfume in the air — Saben and Clarisse. Everyone knew.Clarisse had spent the last hour in the conference room reviewing reports, but her mind kept drifting back to the morning — the look on Jenny’s face when she entered the office, the quiet grace in her smile, the flicker of something unspoken in her eyes.She sighed softly and decided to take a break. She needed air — or maybe she just needed to clear her thoughts.As she stepped into the hallway, she saw Jenny standing by the coffee station, stirring her drink absentmindedly. Her reflection glimmered faintly on the silver espresso machine. Clarisse hesitated for a moment, unsure if she should approach. But something in Jenny’s quiet stillness called to her — th
