It Started With One-Night Stand

Serena P. O. V His reply made my blood boil. I definitely didn't accept rejection. Besides, the reason was really unclear. “What's wrong with me being too young?” I looked up to give him a challenging look. Those sharp eyes glanced at me, then took another sip of whiskey. “Women your age only bring trouble.” I stared at him with narrowed eyes, unable to understand his opinion. “Like what?” Leopold turned his body toward me. My position, also facing him, caused his thighs to touch mine. He looked down for a moment, and I seized the moment to close the distance with him. I deliberately held one side of his thigh with my thigh. He growled softly, but I ignored him. “Nothing.” Leopold used one hand to say that he was uncomfortable with my question. He tried to break away, but I leaned my body towards him even more. I noticed that Leopold looked a little surprised and then kept his distance from me. From the way he looked at me, it was as if I were a parasite. And he didn't hide hi

Serena P. O. V Leopold's eyes never left mine as the distance between us decreased. When we were only a few steps away, I saw a lopsided smile spread across his face. He was like a predator in the wild, and I was the easy prey who had foolishly given myself into his hands. “Hi, remember me?” I asked. I put on a big smile to hide my true feelings. All I wanted to do this time was do whatever I wanted without thinking about anything. Including the consequences. I actually wouldn't party intending to finding a sexual partner. I would also never kiss a stranger. And definitely, I would never flirt uncontrollably like this. However, while sitting in front of Leopold, I let his gaze roam over my body. I realized that there was a part of me that I had always kept quiet about, now rebelling to escape. “How can I forget you?” Leopold raised one thick eyebrow with a faint smile that managed to make my heart race. I used this moment to scrutinize Leopold's figure. The sunset light was bea

Serena P. O. V *Two months later.* The past two months have been hell. Jason got married to his girlfriend in a highly extravagant building in L.A. Their wedding was so lavish that it even made it to the business news as one of the most opulent weddings of the year. His new bride's glowing face made me sick. It was the last spark that made me even more eager to find a new job. After going through the interview process in many places, I finally landed in Pequira. Pequira is a tech company specializing in innovative software, AI, IoT solutions, and sustainable technologies. There are few employees, as they only started operating two years ago. Yet, if I look at the background and achievements of the owner, it's a very promising place. I got a positive impression during the interview. So when the headhunter made this offer, I accepted it immediately. Moving from a large corporation to a small company is certainly a new challenge. As a senior human resources officer, I had to run the d

Serena P. O. V Fifteen minutes passed, and Leopold finally came back into the meeting room. He had a hard look on his face and a sharp look in his eyes. I shuddered in horror as his neck muscles tightened. Damn it! How could my brain conjure up images of Leopold moving on top of me and moaning with his muscles tensed? Far be it from my dirty mind! “Sorry for the interruption, Serena.” Mr. Raymond smiled formally. And then gave the code to Leopold, or what I call Mr. Leopold, who was still standing at the side of the table. “Leopold is my work partner. Actually, he is directly responsible for you.” “Yes.” I could only nod and force a genuine smile. For the sake of everything, Leopold's glare scared me as hell. Leopold sat on the chair opposite me. My heart skipped a beat as I watched the muscles of his arms move as he crossed his arms over his chest. It's not uncommon for the boss of a tech company to be so relaxed. Leopold was wearing a white T-shirt with a Saint Laurent logo, b

Serena P. O. V“I'm going to the food court downstairs with Harry. Do you want to come?” Sarah asked from across the table.I nodded quickly as I shut down the computer. I quickly grabbed my wallet from my bag and followed Sarah.My steps stopped when I saw Mr. Raymond and Leopold walking together into the CEO-only elevator. Too much pheromone.“If there are two of them, why does the air conditioner feel like it's not working? Too hot.” I fanned my hands in front of my face.Sarah giggled softly. “There's some truth to what you're saying. No wonder I get so hot in here.” “I don't count as one of those hot guys.” Harry pointed at himself with a big smile.Sarah and I looked at each other before we burst out laughing. Physically, Harry was fit and tall. He has a sweet face that can make him ogle at girls. Plus, Harry is typical boyfriend material who will focus his attention on the girl he likes.How could I know?Harry and I often exchanged messages, and we even hung out together a fe
