35 - Dinner
‘WTF, Max? You’re not serious about this, are you? Wasn’t the harassment at lunch enough? What else does he want? If this project wasn’t important for our company, I would have already cursed that guy off. Isn’t telling him I have a boyfriend enough? These men are so frustrating,’ she complained, covered her face with the pillow, and screamed into it.
‘Doesn’t he remind you of Sebastian, though? The direct questions, the tactics, and now the dinner. Do these men have one guidebook they read on how to get the girl?’ Max wondered.
‘Max, at lunch, he talked about Navio’s contract. How did he get that information? Do you think we have a spy in the office?’ Clara frowned as Max shook his head. ‘I was wondering about that too.’

In the cab, Max drapes his arm around Clara. He knows that in her mind, there was a war going on. Her mind is fighting whether she should have backed down, accepting his invitation for dinner to show that arrogant fool that he did not really scare her and on the other, she felt she did the right thing. She would willingly swallow her pride and do what’s good for the company, but she would not let arrogant men like him win.She leans against Max and sighs, ‘Max, did I do the right thing? It kind of scared me that if he took me to dinner, something else might happen. He looked like he would have been capable of taking drastic measures. What if I’m not as strong as I thought? If I couldn’t fight him back…’He hugged her closer. ‘It’s okay Clara. He’s just a client. We can find another one. You are more i

Max's Revelation 38 - Raffy
After a while, both moms leave Celine and her blind date, Raffy, behind, hoping they would hit it off and agree to a date and hopefully get married in the future. But Celine had a rule. No dating within her circle and people within six degrees of separation. This was because she was a very private individual and did not want her romantic life plastered all over social media. Not even within her social circle.‘So, Raffy, I see your mom managed to drag you out of bed, get you dressed, and agree to this date on this pleasant Saturday morning, huh?’ She poured herself more tea. Celine wanted to show him she did not want to sit and pretend they were coming out as friends after this set-up.‘Yeah, well… I had to keep my mom from nagging me, so here I am. You’d think at this age, they’d just let me do what I want.’
Max's Revelation 39 - Installation
By the time the entire team arrived at the site, they felt too exhausted to work on anything. And Sebastian, being the gracious host, had ordered food for dinner. Pizza, chicken wings, and beer to take the edge off. And for Clara, that was a plus for being thoughtful and attentive to the needs of the group. Sebastian was ticking off a lot of boxes on the boyfriend’s list. Clara didn’t have one, but if she did, Sebastian would have all the standards for what a boyfriend should be. He even offered to fly everybody home on his private jet because he knew Clara would not ride with him and let her team suffer on the commercial flight. It was an excuse to spend more time together and maybe cuddle with her on the plane. During dinner, they talked about who was sharing rooms at the hotel. Max wanted a room to himself, so maybe he could invite Celine over, but C

Installation - Day 1 - Monday‘In the building. Take a break.’ Max sends Celine a text.‘Busy. Meet you at lunch.’This was not how he imagined this day to be. He expected her to be happy he was in town, but it seems something happened last weekend, and she was not as responsive.Celine could not take a break, look at her phone, or even go to the restroom. Her supervisor has been watching her too closely for the past few days. Observing each and every move, waiting for her to make a mistake so he could find ways to punish her. Make her stay late, have her do all his tasks, and declare discrepancies where there are none.He had it for her ever since she came to the company. There was a rumor circu
Max's Revelation 41 - Lunch with Dad
Max cracked his knuckles as he clasped his hands together and stretched. It was easy to get into the manager’s computer. He had the lamest password in the world, and it was easy to guess, so Max could see what the guy was doing right away. First, Max had his computer screen flickering like it was losing power. He thought the guy was just a prick, so he was thinking of going easy on him, but as he delved deep into his computer applications, he found something that curdled his blood. There was a screen that was dedicated solely to Celine. The f*cker had a hidden camera on nearly all of his staff’s desks. That was why he could tell what she was doing.His breathing became labored as he contemplated what he should do to make this guy miserable. Max shut the supervisor’s computer down, changed all the access codes, and made it inoperable. Sebastian’s people were probably good at th

They had ice cream as a reward for finishing most of the floors earlier than scheduled when two guys approached Clara. He just had lunch with Celine, and he was still on a high being with her, so he wasn’t really listening to what was happening until Clara gasped and he saw her say Celine’s name.He took the video they were looking at and saw what happened.It showed a man approaching a woman at her desk, and he knew it was Celin
Max's Revelation 43 - R18 - NSFW
-=- R18 -=-Max ran to see Celine. He knew what happened, but he had to curb his anger and excitement so as not to scare and alert her that he was spying. ‘Wait! Why should I keep this from her? Who cares if I know what happened? I saw it with my own two eyes. No lies, Max, no more lies.’ He was busy thinking in the elevator while he impatiently waited for it to get to the floor where the courtyard was.‘What happened?’ He asked as Celine jumped into his arms.‘It was so awful,’ her voice was muffled against his shoulder. ‘My supervisor made a pass at me, and I just… I want to get out of here and forget about it.’ He was rubbing her back to console her. This was the closest he had ever been to hugging her, and she felt very good in his arms. Like they were
