 Preview chapter:- 

Following him unto which seems to be the endless room, Krystal highly shrieks when she stumbles onto her own feet. Her legs got entangled together, body shamelessly falling. Krystal voice echo throughout which made Xavier hastily turn around and thankfully catch Krystal before you fall to the ground with her face. Her body then landed unto a hard chest as her hands' grip unto a broad shoulder.

_____________________________________

It was Xavier.

Both of them had fallen to the ground together with on top of him. Xavier back contacts the floor, Krystal faces on his chest now, and she is between his legs.

Krystal hears him groan in pain. Her eyes widen and she quickly stands up, or try to because when she does, all the lights turn off a blackout.

Krystal shriek once again and fall back on top of him. Her face now on the crook of his neck, hands on his chest, her breast press against his torso. Her hitching breath touches the skin of his neck, it was hot, her breath was hot which makes him grow hot as well.

He can feel her breast, he can feel her core, he can feel her legs in between his thighs, he can feel the soft and milky skin of hers. Xavier lay there, feeling her. His eyes, even in the dark, had grown dark and hungry. He can see Krystal.

"Wha-what's happening?" Krystal question is against his neck. Her lips' so close on touching his skin. She gasps when she felt his hand snake onto her waist. It was tingling and it render shivers all over her body.

This is wrong. The position feels so wrong. She wiggles above him and tries to get up but he holds her even tighter. "A total blackout. We can't see anything let's stay like this until the electricity gets back." He breathily says to her.

She is unsure of his suggestion. It isn't right but then something hit her brain. "Are you afraid of the dark?" Krystal mellowly asks him.

Xavier stills. After a moment of silence, he nods. Krystal gulp. Xavier is afraid of the dark. She knows it's not easy to have the phobia and face it when you're not ready so she decided to stay still, for comfort.

"Would it calm you down? Th-this position and ...m-me hugging you?" Krystal asks him though it's very awkward for her she cannot let him suffer.

She hears him hum. Krystal sigh and let her body ease against him. She wraps her hand around his shoulder and rests her head on the crook of his neck once again. She breathes shakily and she closes her eyes.

It has been a minute like that and soon she can feel his hands trail up and down on her side, Krystal quiver at the touch. She gasps and jerks upward but he pulls her back down. "Don't move."

She closes her eyes. Just to help him calm down. Just to help him calm down.

His hands softly and slowly begin again. Up and down. Up and down. Krystal exhales shakily against his neck as she tightly grips onto his shoulder. She bit her lower lip as she can feel how amazing his touch is.

Then all of the sudden, Krystal feel his lips press on her shoulder blade. Krystal loudly gasps as he nibbles on it, his lips smooth and silky on her skin. And then, his hand going down to her thighs.

The lights flickered open.

Krystal's eyes shot open and she quickly push her body away from him. Her face screams in embarrassment and guilt. "I-I hope that helped, Mr Knight. I shall g-go."

Krystal quickly runs away with her heels and Xavier only watching her. He licks his lips hungrily. He wants her. He wants her and he will get what he wants.

Krystal immediately runs away, her legs are shaking while she takes a step ahead. Her heart was beating furiously against her chest that she feel it was about to explode. Then, Krystal feels guilty, so much. Nick. Nick came to flash in her mind, she wanted to cry. What did she just do? Why did she let herself do such a thing? She cheated on Nick and she feels like utter shit.

Her legs had brought her to the ladies comfort room and she instantly slid inside a cubicle. Krystal sits on the boule with a shaky breath.

"No, don't cry Krystal it's nothing serious I were just helping him." She murmurs to herself, trying to comfort her whole being. Krystal takes a deep breath before exhaling, she composes herself.

Krystal grabs her phone and opened the camera. She checks herself – her neck. Luckily, there's nothing on it. A sigh of relief leave her mouth, her shoulder slumping down as if a heavyweight had been lifted away.

No, she wasn't cheating, she was just helping. Xavier was afraid of the dark and you couldn't just let him suffer on his own. She was there, the only one on sight who can provide the help he needs at the moment so she did what she did. Krystal thought, maybe that's just how Xavier would usually calm himself when he's in the dark.

Krystal nod at herself. Yes, that's it – that is all.

But her mind could not get away from the way how he touched her; how he held her body and caressed her side so softly, how his lips landed on her skin – so soft like a cushion, how his nose brushed against the crook of her neck and inhaled her scent. It somehow drives Krystal crazy.

Secretively, she liked it. Krystal liked the way he touched her. She never felt something like that, she admit, not even with Nick. It made her body warm and heated, waiting for it to last. Nick's touch was never like that, nothing like that – it has always been soft and just simple.

She mindlessly bit her lower lip while she stare at the door, her legs are pressed together, toes curling. Her mind is whirling back to what happened between her and Xavier. But, she frantically shakes her head.

"What am I thinking?" She sigh one last time before standing up and regaining herself and composure. She will not think of anything, she has decided. "I, Krystal, will forget what happened today, nothing at all. She wouldn't see him again, anyhow."

She exits the door finally walking out of the comfort room, going straight to her department office.

Krystal exit the company, a cold breeze passing by which hit her face. Her eyes close and when she re-open them again, she sees Nick already waiting for her in his car. She smiles half-heartedly as she saunters forward, unto his direction.

Krystal still feel guilty and honestly, when she said to herself that she'll forget what happened and act as if nothing happened, she couldn't. All-day long, she has been distracted – mind has reached mars with whirling thoughts of what happened with her and Xavier.

Krystal shriek when Nick suddenly engulfs her in a tight hug. He buries his face into the crook of her neck, he sighs. Nick is bothered when he's like this.

"What's wrong?" She mellowly asks him. Krystal wraps her two arms around him, hugging him back.

Another sigh defeated it was, he releases. "I-I got promoted." He says and her eyes blink. She questions him, "Isn't that great? Aren't you happy?"

Nick breaks away from her. He looks deeply into Krystal's eyes then, away from hers. Krystal starts to get confused. Nick should be happy; he has been waiting for him to get promoted but why is he sad?

"You know what? Let's celebrate babe! This is your day slash night!" Krystal beams enthusiastically, jumping up her feet. She smiles at her boyfriend before grabbing his hand, tugging him with her. Krystal don't want him to feel down when he was achieving what he was striving for since he worked.

"Krystal I'm being transferred to New York!" Nick exclaimed and Krystal stop at her track. She turns to face him, her face looks... shocked and worried and pained. She has her eyes blink numerous times, trying to take in the information.

"New York?" She repeats and Nick nods. Nick in New York, she thought. Nick will be leaving for New York, miles away from her. She'll be far away from him. Thinking about it got her scared. She doesn't want a long-distance relationship; she knows too well that it wouldn't work out and last long.

"When?" She asks lowly, voice wavering. Nick gulps and announces, "On Monday." Her breathe hitches after hearing him.

She feels her heart compress, a lump slowly forming on her throat. She holds them in. She can't be selfish, Nick have been long dreaming to reach high in his career. She forced a smile. "We got the weekend before you go! Now come on babe, this day is yours. Sadness is not allowed."

Nick meets your eyes. He smiles weakly and nods, allowing her to drag him inside his car. "Since this is your night, I will let you relax. I will drive." Krystal said cheekily as she open the door for Nick

Nick giggle but nonetheless slide in. Krystal shut the door and walk to the other side, unto the driver's side. Her smile falters and her heart was aching but she leathers it immediately when she slides inside the car.

"Krystal!" Jenny shouts rather loud when she sees her entering the office. Krystal flinches at her pitch. Such a nice greeting for an early morning. Jenny walks towards her

Krystal rolls her eyes at her. "Way to greet me a good morning, Jenny."

"Bitch there's no time for that. The CEO wants to see you now." She strictly says to Krystal. Krystal stops at her track.

"What?"

"You heard me, now go! He's waiting for you." Jenny nudges Krystal to move but she stays glued on her spot. Jenny scan Krystal and saw how nervous she have turned. "Krystal there's no time for your lame ass to be nervous! Mr Knight is waiting for you, he even came here for you!"

Krystal takes a huge gulp. She doesn't want to see him, not after what happened yesterday. Krystal doesn't know how to. She starts to get jittery and sweaty. She hears Jenny groan in annoyance. "Krystal! Get your lazy ass to Mr Knight's office."

Krystal walks out of her office and takes the elevator. She presses the last floor – that is where Mr Knight's office is. Few minutes pass and the elevator dinged and she steps out of it. Krystal walks towards his office.

Standing in front of the vast black door, Krystal take a long sigh. Contemplating to knock, her hands swung and down. She want to run away, she can't see him. Not yet at least. But this is work, she has to be professional.

Deciding, Krystal raise her right hand ready to knock but the door opened for her. Krystal stumbles backwards lightly. Mr Nathan walks out of the room and meets her eyes. "Oh Krystal, Xavier is waiting for you. Go inside now."

Krystal nod and politely smile at him. He returns her smile before walking away. There's no turning back now. She exhales with a last breathe before entering his office. When she is inside, all Krystal see is black. His office was decorated with black themes.

Wow. It's her first time to see an office in black. Very odd but mesmerizing, very different. Krystal was in awe. "You like my office, Miss Krystal?"

Krystal shriek and snap her head from where the voice is coming. There, at his glass desk, Krystal sees MrKnight leaning against his chair, eyes on her. Krystal did not answer. "Don't worry Krystal you'll be seeing and staying in my office from now on. Get all your things from your department, you will be my secretary starting today."

"What?"

"I never repeat what I have already said, Krystal." Xavier let out. He then looks at his laptop. "You're under me Krystal so you better do what I tell you to do on the first day, or, you'll gotta learn it the hard way, miss Krystal Wilson."
