Her Irresistible Manager

There were a few cars driving in front of them and a couple of them following them from behind. They soon arrived in front of the house and parked their car with everyone else. The place looked even more magnificent up close. Laura, who felt suffocated from being confined to the car for too long, was the first one to get off. She got off to the sight of Lucas opening the door for her friend, who was still in the car. She watched with fascination as the two talked briefly and her friend Jen suddenly smacked his chest and the guy laughed happily before helping her out of the car. Whenever she saw such interactions, she would feel envious of couples. But whenever these thoughts popped up, she remembered how Rachel stayed in the ICU because of how hurt she had been after being assaulted by her boyfriend and she would come back to her senses. "You girls are here!" Jen said and walked towards Laura and the others, with Lucas following behind her. They all greeted Jen, who looked very exc

Laura went back to her room and changed into her white two-piece bikini. She had taken a twenty-minute walk to ride horses and didn't even get on one. Also, with how her emotions were all over the place, she wanted to cool off, so she planned on going for a swim. She undid her hair and put on a sheer white shirt to give her a sense of modesty before leaving her room and going downstairs. As she searched for the pool, she came across one of the maids that were running errands and stopped her to ask for directions. After knowing the general area of where the outdoor pool was, she leisurely made her way there as she carefully observed the features of the house. When she reached the exit, she saw Jen and her boyfriend returning. Not wanting to interrupt them, she opted for another exit. When she walked into the pool area, the place was completely deserted, with the exception of one person who was relaxing on one of the lounge chairs in the shade. Looking at how an umbrella was added, ev

"They are gone," James said to Laura, who still had her head buried in his chest. "They'll probably come back," Laura said, reluctant to move away now that she was so close. She was also embarrassed because she was the one who wanted to kiss him but forgot that she had no experience in these matters. She felt like she made a fool of herself. "They won't return," James said and easily lifted her so she sat down instead of lying on top of him. Laura looked at James, who had his grey eyes on her and looked away in embarrassment. "Maybe I'm a bit drunk?" Laura said with some hesitation, and James looked at her in disbelief. "You said you weren't drunk," James said to her, feeling tempted to flick her forehead. "When did I say I wasn't drunk?" Laura asked him and James, who tried to recall what happened when he asked her if she was drunk, became silent. "I think I'm the one that's drunk," James said as he bent over to pick up the opener he had dropped earlier and resumed his action of

Laura sat down at the long table and had dinner with her girlfriends. She hadn’t realised that she had not eaten all day until it was pointed out by her friend Jen, who had found the group of them well on their way to getting drunk. Now that she was eating something, she was feeling much better. But a few minutes ago, James had walked onto the terrace with Brian and Laura kept following him with her eyes the whole time. The two had made eye contact a few times already, but Laura was not shy enough to look away, so even when their lines of sight clashed, the two of them would look at each other briefly before James would knowingly smile at her and continue doing his own thing. She continued to watch him even then. The dark hair that fell to his shoulders, the open shirt that revealed his toned body. The defined pecs and abs and the dark tattoo on his side would peek out once in a while. The way he would laugh easily when someone would make a joke and the way his Adam’s apple would r

“So, do you have a girlfriend?” Laura asked James, who was trying to steady her, so she didn’t fall off his lap. “Don’t you think it’s too late to ask me that after everything you’ve done today?” James asked with a raised eyebrow. “Well, do you?” Laura continued to ask. “I don’t,” James answered, wondering where she wanted to take this conversation. “Wife?” she asked, realising that he may have one. “I’m not married either,” James answered with a chuckle. “Then what do you think of me?” Laura asked him. “Hm? What about you?” James asked, wanting her to be more clear. “Since we are both single…” Laura said and trailed off, not knowing how to explain herself. It was like she realised that this wasn’t going to work if she was the only one interested. “Are propositioning me?” James asked, feeling mildly surprised. When Laura heard him she looked away, feeling both nervous and regretful. “It’s the first time you are avoiding my gaze since we met,” James said with a smile. “I’m no
