"Why? Why does it matter so much to you?" “Because,” I said quickly, searching for the right words. “Because people like me... we don’t belong with people like you. You’re... you’re powerful, and I’m—” “Beautiful,” he cut me off, his voice firm. I froze, my words dying on my lips. “What?” I whispered. “You’re beautiful, Sophia,” he said again, his tone softer this time. “And I’m tired of pretending I don’t notice it. You think being a maid defines you, but it doesn’t. Not to me.”

"You're shaking," his voice broke the silence. Deep and steady, it filled the space like a heavy presence I couldn’t escape. I froze, my hand still resting on the cloth. “I’m not,” I lied quickly, though my voice betrayed me. I didn’t dare look at him. "You are," he said again, this time softer, like he was enjoying my discomfort. I swallowed hard. "I don’t know what you mean," I whispered, keeping my eyes fixed on the table. Before I could take another breath, I felt his fingers gently lift my chin. My body stiffened, and I reluctantly met his gaze. His eyes... they were dark, intense, searching mine like he could see straight through me. “Sophia,” he said, my name rolling off his tongue in a way that made my cheeks flush. "Why are you so nervous around me?" "I’m not," I insisted, though my voice cracked. His lips curved into a small, knowing smile. “You are,” he repeated, his thumb brushing lightly against my chin. I took a shaky step back, breaking the contact. "You shouldn’t... you shouldn’t be doing this," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “Doing what?” he asked, taking a slow step forward. “This,” I said, gesturing vaguely between us. “I’m just a maid. You shouldn’t be... looking at me like that or—” "Looking at you like what?" he interrupted, his tone teasing now. “Like... like that,” I stammered, my face burning. “You’re... you’re my boss. This is wrong.” His smirk deepened, and he took another step toward me. “Wrong?” he repeated, his voice dropping lower. “Or is it that you don’t want to admit you feel it too?” I shook my head quickly, panic rising in my chest. “No, I don’t feel anything. I mean, I can’t feel anything. This isn’t right. I’m just a maid.” “Sophia,” he said firmly, his tone commanding now. “Stop hiding behind that excuse.” “It’s not an excuse,” I said, my voice trembling. “It’s the truth.” “You think I care about titles?” he asked, stepping even closer until I could feel the heat radiating from him. “Do you think that matters to me?” “It should,” I said, my voice breaking slightly. “It matters to me.” He tilted his head slightly, studying me. "Why? Why does it matter so much to you?" “Because,” I said quickly, searching for the right words. “Because people like me... we don’t belong with people like you. You’re... you’re powerful, and I’m—” “Beautiful,” he cut me off, his voice firm. I froze, my words dying on my lips. “What?” I whispered. “You’re beautiful, Sophia,” he said again, his tone softer this time. “And I’m tired of pretending I don’t notice it. You think being a maid defines you, but it doesn’t. Not to me.” I stared at him, my mind racing. “But... you can’t mean that,” I said, my voice barely audible. “I do,” he said, stepping closer. “I’ve meant it for a long time.” I shook my head, trying to back away, but my back hit the wall. “You’re just saying that,” I said, my voice shaking. He leaned in slightly, his face inches from mine. “Do I look like the kind of man who says things he doesn’t mean?” I didn’t know how to respond. My heart was pounding so hard I was sure he could hear it. His presence was overwhelming, and I felt like I was drowning in his gaze. “I’m just a maid,” I said again, though the words felt hollow now. “And I’m just a man,” he replied, his voice soft. “A man who wants you.” I let out a shaky breath, my mind spinning. "This isn’t fair," I said quietly. "You’re not supposed to... to..." “To what?” he asked gently. “To make me feel this way,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. For a moment, neither of us said anything. The room felt heavy with unspoken words, with emotions I didn’t want to face. Finally, I broke the silence. “I can’t do this,” I said, shaking my head. “I don’t belong in your world.” He reached up, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “You belong wherever I say you belong,” he said softly. “And right now, I want you here. With me.” My breath hitched, and I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes. “Why me?” I asked, my voice breaking. “Because you’re different,” he said simply. “Because when I look at you, I see something I’ve never seen in anyone else.” I didn’t know what to say. Part of me wanted to run, to hide from the intensity of his words. But another part of me wanted to believe him, to let myself feel what I’d been trying so hard to deny. “You’re scared,” he said softly, his hand still resting against my cheek. I nodded slowly, unable to find the words. “It’s okay to be scared,” he said. “But don’t let it stop you from living.” I looked up at him, my eyes searching his for any sign of doubt. But all I saw was sincerity, a depth of emotion that left me speechless. He leaned in slightly, his breath warm against my skin. “I’m not going to force you,” he said. “But I’m not going to lie to you either. I want you, Sophia. And I think you want me too.” My heart ached at his words, and I felt my resolve slipping. “This isn’t supposed to happen,” I whispered. “Maybe not,” he said, his lips brushing against my temple. “But sometimes, the best things in life aren’t supposed to happen. They just do.” I closed my eyes, letting his words sink in. For the first time, I felt myself letting go of the fear, the doubt. Maybe he was right. Maybe it was okay to let myself feel, to let myself want. But before I could respond, the sound of a phone ringing shattered the moment. He pulled back slightly, his expression shifting. “I have to take this,” he said, his tone serious. I nodded, stepping back as he pulled his phone from his pocket. The tension in the room lingered, but the moment was gone. As he answered the call, I watched him, my mind racing. I didn’t know what would happen next, but I knew one thing for sure: nothing would ever be the same.Sophia's hands shook as she stared at the photo on Mia's phone. The caption was bold and glaring, making her heart pound in her chest. She couldn’t believe someone had been watching her and Alexander. How had things spiraled out of control so quickly?Mia’s face was pale as she sat across from Sophia in the break room. “Soph, this isn’t good. What are you going to do?”Sophia pressed her lips together, trying to hold back tears. She knew this was bad really bad. Her career was at stake, and the gossip spreading around the office made her stomach churn.“I don’t know,” she said finally, her voice trembling. “I didn’t think anyone would find out. We weren’t even doing anything wrong.”Mia gave her a look. “You were seen going into his apartment late at night. People don’t need details; they’ll make up their own story.”Sophia nodded, feeling a lump form in her throat. “I just wanted to talk to him, Mia. That’s all. But now it looks like…” She trailed off, unable to say the words.“It lo
The days following the kiss felt like an emotional hurricane for Sophia. Each moment was steeped in confusion, guilt, and the undeniable pull toward Alexander. She had thrown herself into her work, avoiding him as much as possible, but her mind refused to let her forget the way his lips had felt against hers or the look in his eyes afterward.Mia noticed her distraction almost immediately. Over coffee one morning, she leaned in and said, “Okay, spill it. You’ve been a million miles away for days. What happened?”Sophia hesitated, staring into her coffee cup as if it held the answers. “He kissed me again,” she admitted quietly.Mia’s eyes widened. “Again? Sophia, what is going on with you two?”“I don’t know,” Sophia said, her voice cracking. “I told him I needed time, but… Mia, it’s so complicated. He’s my boss, and I don’t want to ruin everything I’ve worked so hard for.”Mia reached across the table and squeezed her hand. “Soph, you’re one of the smartest, most grounded people I kno
The following morning, Sophia woke up to a heaviness in her chest. The events of the previous night replayed in her mind like a movie she couldn’t shut off. Alexander’s confession, the kiss, and the way he’d looked at her—so full of emotion—had left her more conflicted than ever.She sat on the edge of her bed, running her hands through her hair. Part of her wanted to call Mia and unload everything. But another part—the part that had been hurt too many times—told her to keep this to herself.After showering and dressing, Sophia made her way to the office. She hoped to bury herself in work and avoid Alexander altogether. Maybe if she stayed busy enough, the turmoil inside her would settle.But as soon as she walked in, she felt his presence. He was standing by the coffee machine, his usual confident aura replaced by a quiet intensity. Their eyes met briefly, and Sophia quickly looked away, her heart racing.Liam waved her over as she walked to her desk, his cheerful smile a welcome dis
Sophia sat by her window that evening, watching the city lights twinkle in the distance. The quiet hum of cars below mixed with her swirling thoughts. Alexander’s confession still echoed in her mind. No matter how much she tried to distract herself with work or friends, his words kept pulling her back.There was a knock on her door, interrupting her thoughts. Her heart skipped a beat as she wondered who it could be at this hour. She approached the door cautiously and peeked through the peephole.It was Alexander.Sophia hesitated, her hand hovering over the doorknob. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to face him again, especially not now. But something inside her compelled her to open the door.When she did, Alexander stood there, looking as if he had been battling with his own thoughts all day. His usually composed demeanor was replaced with a raw vulnerability that took Sophia by surprise.“Alexander,” she said softly. “What are you doing here?”“I couldn’t stay away,” he admitted, h
Sophia closed the door behind Alexander, her heart racing. She hadn’t expected him to show up at her apartment, and she wasn’t sure how to feel about it. She led him to the living room, gesturing for him to sit on the couch while she sat across from him in a chair.“So,” she said, breaking the silence, “why are you really here, Alexander?”Alexander leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees. His expression was serious, and there was a softness in his eyes that Sophia hadn’t seen before.“I told you, I wanted to check on you,” he said. “But there’s more to it than that.”Sophia crossed her arms, waiting for him to continue.“I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said—about keeping things professional,” Alexander began. “And I understand why you feel that way. I haven’t made it easy for you, and for that, I’m sorry.”Sophia raised an eyebrow, surprised by his apology. “I appreciate that, but I’ve moved on. I just want to focus on work and my own life.”“I know,” Alexander said q
Sophia woke up the next day feeling lighter. The past weeks had been a whirlwind, but for the first time in a while, she felt like she was regaining control of her life. Her decision to keep things professional with Alexander had cleared her mind. She was starting to see things from a new perspective, and it gave her strength.She got ready for work quickly, feeling eager to focus on the tasks ahead. As she stepped out of her apartment, she noticed the crisp morning air and let out a deep breath. "Today is going to be a good day," she muttered to herself.When she arrived at the office, the usual hustle and bustle greeted her. Sophia settled into her desk, ready to dive into her projects. She didn’t look toward Alexander’s office, determined to keep her boundaries firm.A few minutes later, Liam approached her desk, holding two cups of coffee. “Morning, Sophia! Thought you could use a little caffeine boost,” he said with a grin, placing one of the cups on her desk.Sophia smiled. “Tha
