Sophia felt a strange connection to Alexander. Every day, as they worked together, she hoped he would notice her efforts. But it seemed like all he cared about was his business. He rarely smiled, and his mind was often elsewhere.That morning, Sophia arrived at the office with a mix of excitement and anxiety. She was ready to tackle the day and finish the presentation they had been preparing. She sat at her desk, reviewing her notes, her heart racing. It was her chance to show her skills and prove herself.A few minutes later, the door to the office swung open. A tall woman walked in with a confident stride and a sharp gaze. Sophia could feel the change in the atmosphere as the woman entered.“Is Alexander in?” the woman asked, her voice loud and demanding.“Yes, he’s in the conference room,” Sophia replied, trying to sound friendly.Without a word, the woman brushed past Sophia, ignoring her completely. Sophia felt a knot form in her stomach. Who was this woman?Moments later, the co
The next day, Sophia walked into the office ready to work. She had thought a lot about the project and had new ideas. But she was also nervous about how Alexander would respond.As she entered, she saw two new faces in the conference room: Mia and James. Mia had bright blue hair and a big smile. She looked very excited. James was calm, with sharp dark eyes and a serious look.“Hey, you must be Sophia!” Mia said, bouncing up to her. “I’ve heard so much about you. I can’t wait to work together!”“Thanks, Mia,” Sophia said, trying to feel relaxed. “I hope we can create something great.”James nodded. “I looked over your ideas. I think we can make them even better.”Before Sophia could say anything else, Alexander walked in. He stood tall and confident, and everyone’s eyes turned to him.“What’s happening in here?” he asked, looking at each of them.“Mia and James are joining the project,” Sophia explained.“Good. I want results, not just ideas,” he said firmly. “Mia, I need you to look a
The next morning, Sophia arrived at the office with a renewed sense of purpose. She had the lead on the new project, and she was determined to prove herself. As she stepped into the building, the familiar tension in the air greeted her. Alexander was already in his office, his presence dominating the atmosphere.She took a deep breath, straightened her shoulders, and walked over to his office. Tapping lightly on the door, she said, “Can I come in?”“Sure,” he replied, his voice steady.When she entered, he looked up from his computer screen. “You’re early,” he observed, his tone neutral.“I wanted to start on the project,” Sophia explained, placing her notes on his desk. “I have some ideas I’d like to discuss.”Alexander nodded, leaning back in his chair. “Go ahead,” he said, his expression unreadable.As she presented her ideas, Sophia noticed a serious look on Alexander’s face. He listened intently, but there was a distance in his eyes, like he was evaluating every word she spoke an
The days that followed were intense. Sophia worked late every night, determined to show Alexander that she could handle anything he threw her way. The campaign was moving fast, and every decision felt like a test. And with Alexander’s sharp gaze always watching, she felt the pressure more than ever.One evening, as she packed her things to leave the office, Sophia heard footsteps behind her. She turned and saw Alexander walking her way. He didn’t usually stay this late, so she was surprised.“Working late again?” he asked, his voice calm but curious.Sophia nodded. “Yes, I want to make sure everything is perfect.”He raised an eyebrow. “Perfection isn’t always necessary. Efficiency matters more.”She looked at him, wondering why he was even here. “Well, I want both,” she replied, meeting his gaze.For a moment, they stood there, locked in silence. Then, Alexander’s expression softened just a bit, almost like he was impressed. “I was about to grab a coffee downstairs. Care to join?”So

The room was quiet, save for the soft rustling of the sheets as Maya shifted in the bed. The space between her and Kael felt unnervingly large despite their closeness, a chasm filled with unspoken words and unprocessed emotions. Her body still felt the traces of their shared intimacy—an ache that was both unfamiliar and overwhelming. She wanted to distance herself, to pull away from the intensity of the moment, but his presence lingered like a weight, pressing her down in ways she couldn’t escape.She could feel him beside her, the faint rhythm of his breath against the stillness of the room. Kael’s proximity was comforting in a way that made her uncomfortable. His warmth, his strength, all of it created a confusing sense of vulnerability that she hadn’t expected. Maya closed her eyes and tried to push away the thoughts that threatened to flood her mind.She didn’t know how to feel about what had just happened.
