ALINA’S POV

“Alina, what are you-

I pushed him off right then, with all my might, same time a dramatic loud gasp filled the air, my office.

It was like time froze for a minute. Everything moving in slow motion; me, him, the door opening, gasp, my life, career, the gossip…everything flashed before my eyes and in that single moment!

“Oh God!” she let out, frozen at the door. Watching us with wide eyes. “What is…what is going on?”

I swallowed. Adjusting instantly, clearing throat as I faced her f

    ALINA'S POV "Ben? Why you call so early, I'm not yet at the office.""Oh you don't need to, Ma'am!" He said, "You don't have to come to the office today.""What? Why?" I paused, "Something happened again? Another upgrade or something??""No, no,." He chuckled, relaxed. "It's not that. We just got an off day today.""Off day?""Boss's orders. I just thought to inform you as well."And that was how I began my morning. I began it staring at my phone after the call, noting and scrolling through the bombshell of text messages I'd gotten."Did he text me all through the night??" I blasted, disbelief. Scanning it all."You're ignoring me, aren't you?""You're such a coward.""I don't remember you being so cowardly, did 5 years apart do this to you??""You know you haven't changed one bit, just became more cowardly than normal, Alina!"Are you kidding me.Are fucking kidding-My phone beeped just then. A text. Him. Again."You're up now, I assume?"Another one; "Got the news?""Got the new

Watching us with wide eyes. “What is…what is going on?” I swallowed. Adjusting instantly, clearing throat as I faced her fully. Away from him. Barely. He stood rooted to the spot just 2 steps from me.Unfazed.“Vanessa,” I called, pushing a somewhat calm smile. “What are you …what are you doing here?”“Oh me?” she raised an eyebrow, cocky. “I was just passing!”Really. You were passing from Seraph wing, two floors above and magically happened to walk past here. “I was just passing and thought to say hello then…met this!”“This?” I picked, my heart sinking. Shoulders striagtening out. “W-what do you mean ‘this’? Th

    ALINA'S POV“Wh-w“The intercom.” He pointed, stepping in fully. “You paged me. Through the All Call button.”“Huh?” I looked to the intercom instantly, trying to remember when I did that. Truthfully the All Call button was close to the receiver, so it wasn't impossible that I'd tapped it as well.“I heard everything through that.” Great.“Just great.” I muttered, eyes squeezing shut in partial embarrassment. Wondering who else must’ve heard as well. “What brings you here? Sir?” I met his gaze. “Asides the call I assume.”He smirked, “Hmm.” Didn't say anything after that. Didn't leave. Instead he stepped forward right then. Taking his time, crossing the space of my office, rounding up to my side, my desk. Before then planting himself directly behind me.To my own surprise and speechlessness.“What are you -“Shush.” his breath hit my neck. My words caught in my throat as slowly I angled my face back from turning to look at him, my eyes coming right in contact with the bridge of his n

    ALINA’S POV“The systems here are not working!”“Check the cloud.”“The password for the newly set up engine is not working either, Should I reset password??”“NO. Touch anything and you’re locked out.”“How sure are we that this is even working??” Vanessa. “Hey, you there! You there on the laptop, aren’t you supposed to be fixing this?? What the hell is going on?!”“I’m working on it, ma’am. I’ve been working on it since I got here.”“Well you’re not doing anything! Everything's getting worse, my laptop won’t turn on, the panels are down, WiFi disconnected and fuck, can someone open the damn windows around here?! I’m getting choked up!!”And this, was what I walked back into.This.This utter chaos and…I didn’t even know what to call it. Just threw my bag and joined in on it.“How’s it going? Ben.” I called out, packing up my hair. “Ma’am! You’re back.” he rushed over, sighing in relief. “Thank goodness you’re here ma’am else…He didn’t need to complete it. I knew already what he m

    ALINA'S POVWhat an annoying man!So annoying!He just came out of nowhere to ruin my night. And just when I thought the day was going so beautifully and would end beautifully too."Err...Lina?""Alina?""Alina!""What!" I jerked, startled. Blinking my eyes repeatedly to see Cleo seated in front of me. Herself stunned and looking at me crazy."What?" I asked softly this time. Realizing my voice was too loud the first and we were in fact in the middle of a resturant and a whole conversation too. "W-what were you saying? I don’t...I didn't hear you clearly." "I bet you didn't!" Cleo announced, baffled. Her hands reaching for her water and drinking before putting it down again with a thud. Eyes on me. "I've been sitting here rambling my ass about bitch Nicole and what she's got going on at Boldlines. But here you are not listening. I’m boring you out.""What? No." I quickly said, adjusting. Apologetic. Sighing. "I'm...i'm sorry Clo clo, I'm just-"Tired? Stressed? Thinking? Ignoring my

    Roman's POV There was no rule that said a boss had to come in early, was there?I mean, if even I usually went in early. Today could be an exception, couldn't it??"Thanks!" I faintly heard her call out from the gates. Smiling and waving at the security there. Some stuff and box in her arms."Did she order?" I muttered, squinting. "She ordered something online?"I didn't see anybody else with her so...there was no party then.Guess that's okay. Meant I wasn't left out, uninvited or something.So then what was she doing that was making all the movements earlier?"She hasn't yet unpacked her stuff??" I suddenly got the idea, voicing it out but then hearing how it sounded.Alina. Alina Monroe was yet to unpack her stuff after moving in nearly 2 months now??Impossible.Couldn't even happen in another world that she was present. The perfectionist in her wouldn't let It.I watched her draw closer to the house, moving away just in case she looked up or something. "Guess I should head back
