It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 7: She's the Forbidden Fruit!
Leopold P. O. VWithout caring, I got up. But first I said, “Raymond, I want to talk to you outside.”Serena was still looking at me with a shocked face. Luckily, I was still able to control myself, even though I was just as surprised as she was.Why was she in Pequira?Without waiting for Raymond's response, I preceded him out of the meeting room. I made my way to the pantry, out of Serena's reach.“I'll hit you on the head if the subject isn't essential.” Raymond snorted as he crossed his arms over his chest.“How did she become our new employee?” I hoped Raymond had made a mistake in hiring. And that I had misunderstood his explanation earlier.He gave me lazy eyes that made me impatient. “I told you, a new employee is coming to Pequira. She should be your responsibility,” he replied sharply.In building Pequira, Raymond and I shared responsibilities. He handled the internal technology management issues. Meanwhile, I was responsible for the business aspect.Hiring people was also m
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 8: Current Goals
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
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 9: A small action
Serena P. O. V “Excuse me.” I held the elevator door that was about to close. I smiled as soon as I saw who was in the elevator. In contrast to me, Leopold had a sour face. “Morning, sir.” I greeted him cheerfully, to which he responded with a brief buzz. “On a sunny morning, why the cloudy face, sir?” I asked jokingly. Leopold silenced me with a piercing gaze, ready to kill, but made me chuckle. Despite his attempts to be cold and annoying, it only made me more eager to tease him. “By the way, I remember. I left my hairpin at Monaco. I wonder if I still have it.” I asked him again, teasing him even more. “I threw it away,” he replied indifferently, which made me laugh. “Don't be fierce, sir. You'll lose your good looks,” I retorted. Leopold cast another cold, piercing gaze. If I hadn't met him before working in this office, I might have run to the corner in fear when I received such a stony stare. However, I had already encountered the other side of Leopold, so his haughty
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 10: Small Attention
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
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 11: Ex-Wife
Leopold P. O. VOn a sunny morning, I should have been able to enjoy the day peacefully. I dashed my hopes when someone I would rather not see appeared at my gate.The blue suit looked perfect on her tall body with beautiful curves. I used to adore her beautiful face, which looked like that of a Disney princess, Cinderella. But now I couldn't find any joy in seeing her appear in front of me again after a month of disappearance.I let out a rough breath. “What are you doing in my house?” I asked as she was about to open her mouth.The blonde woman with natural makeup smiled sweetly. Does she think I'll fall in love with her like I used to just because of her smile? Total bullshit.“What's wrong with me visiting my husband's house?” She said it in a plaintive tone. How disgusting.“Amanda, please realize yourself. We don't have any relationships.” I waved my hand, giving her a subtle code to leave. She retorted, “Just a reminder: we are not officially divorced yet!”Amanda Renata is my
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 12: The Temptation of Squats
Serena P. O. V.What should I do now? Harry and Sarah invited me for an afternoon run in the park, and I foolishly agreed without a second thought. I went as far as buying a set of gym clothes to support my intention to have a healthy body. For the sake of Patrick Star's magic conch, I filled my closet with work clothes, casual clothes, and underwear. Sportswear never made the list because I don't like sweating. Except for sweating in bed with Leopold.Forget that! My dirty thoughts came back to haunt me. “I want to say the worst of the worst,” I said as I did some light movements in the running area. Harry, who was warming up, looked at me with one eyebrow raised. “Meaning?”“One thing I hate most is exercise,” I replied with a yawn. While Harry snorted, Sarah laughed. She raised both hands in anticipation. I returned to Sarah's high five and laughed together. “I only worked out for one meeting and then gave up. My body prefers to lie in bed,” Sarah giggled.I smiled widely, fe
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 13: Sugar Daddy
Serena P. O. VI haven't had much work experience. Before Pequira, I only worked for one company. Even then, it was more of a labor of love. Although I didn't have much to compare it to, I liked my job at this company a lot more.There are many things that make me feel at home in Leopold's company. Supportive and fun coworkers are some of them. My coworkers are young, energetic, and so fiery that they encourage me to give my best.The director and his staff were also very supportive. I'm putting aside the fact that Leopold has my heart, but he really is the type of leader I want to be. Despite his annoying face, he's a leader that anyone can feel at home working with. He challenges a lot, doesn't interfere often, and is always available if needed.From day to day, working with him makes his value in my eyes continue to grow. But, it also made me feel further away from the man I knew back in Monaco. I never found Leopold to be miserable while working with him. It was as if the Leopold
It Started With One-Night Stand Chapter 14: Don't Play with Fire
Serena P. O. V My steps stopped at the door of the coffee shop when I saw a figure that was very familiar to me. Even though he had his back to me, I immediately recognized who he was just from his back. This is proof of how much he has invaded my mind since I started working at Pequira. No, since I met him in Monaco. The usual Serena would have made a turn. But I'd had enough of Serena, the thinker. I liked the new version of myself. The impulsive Serena. Act first; think later. Now all I wanted to do was enter this coffee shop and approach him. “Morning, sir. I didn't expect to see you here.” I deliberately elbowed Leopold's arm lightly. Leopold gave me a quick glance, and his face turned sour, making it hard for me to hold back my laughter. “I stop by here every day to buy coffee; why haven't we met before?” I leaned against the counter to face him. And I deliberately made a beautiful pose so that the curves of the body he once complimented were clearly visible. And my lu
