My Boss, My Nextdoor Neighbor And Me 070
SHAYLE The moment Lucien left the man and kept walking, I hurried after him. My heels clicked too fast on the floor and I almost tripped, but I still rushed until I caught up with him. I grabbed the air beside his arm, not touching him, but close enough to make him stop.“What the heck did you mean by that?” My voice came out sharper than I meant, but I didn’t care.He didn’t even spare me a full look. “What part didn’t you understand? You’re coming with me for the event tonight.”Kieran instantly came to my mind. His smile this morning. The soft tone he used when he told me he wanted me to be his plus one. The way he held my hand and whispered that he’d remind me every day how beautiful I looked. My stomach twisted painfully. I couldn’t do both. There was no way in hell.“That won’t be possible,” I shot back, fighting to keep my voice steady. “I already have somewhere to be. With someone.”That made him stop completely. He turned slowly. His eyes lowered a little as if he was try

SHAYLE The chairman’s eyes lifted the moment I walked in. His expression was calm, almost welcoming, which only made my stomach twist harder.“Ah, Shayle Vale” he greeted. “I was expecting you.”Expecting me? Since when did the chairman ever expect me? I forced a polite nod, even though my brain was already spiraling.“Come in. Take a seat.”My legs somehow obeyed before my mind did. I walked quietly to the chair across from Lucien and sat down, smoothing the letter in my hand under the table. Lucien was relaxed, hands in his pockets, like he owned the entire damn building. He looked right at me with that smug little smile tugging at his lips.Then he winked.Winked.Before I even had the chance to register that, he stood up slowly.“I’ll leave now” he told the chairman. “I have an important meeting.”Bullshit. I knew his schedule like the back of my hand. There was no meeting. Not even a hint of one. So why was he leaving? Did he set something up? Did he warn the chairman ahead of

SHAYLEI never thought those words could make the air feel heavy, but the moment Lucien asked the question, everything inside me stilled. My throat tightened, my palms grew damp, and I felt both Laureen and Maddie watching me closely. Their excitement was still buzzing in the room, but Lucien’s stare swallowed every bit of it.His eyes were sharp, unreadable, too dark for this early in the morning. I felt the pressure of his gaze on my skin, like he wasn’t just waiting for an answer but dissecting me with his silence.I swallowed and forced my voice to work. “Yes,” I murmured. “It’s true.”His eyes darkened. Not dramatically, not like in a movie where everything shifts. Just a small change, almost invisible, but I caught it. Something tightened in his jaw. His fingers curled slightly at his side.But he kept his mouth shut.He didn’t congratulate me. Didn’t smile. Didn’t even nod. He just stood there, staring at me, like the entire damn world suddenly made no sense to him.The sil

SHALYEThe next morning,I got ready to leave. Immediately I stepped out,I met him. The first glimpse of him made my chest tighten in a way I couldn’t quite explain. Kieran stood by my door, one hand in his pocket, the other holding car keys. His smile was calm, confident, warm enough to make my stomach do flips, and for a moment, I almost forgot the mess I was walking into. My work outfit didn’t matter; my hair wasn’t perfect, but the way he looked at me made me feel… noticed. Alive.“You ready?” he asked lightly, gesturing toward the car.I nodded, trying to act casual, though my heart was hammering. “Yeah,” I murmured, returning his smile.When we got into the car, the familiar scent of his cologne wrapped around me, and I had to consciously inhale deeply to steady myself. He didn’t start talking immediately; he just drove, letting the silence fill the space comfortably, like it was meant to be savored, not rushed.Finally, he spoke, his voice soft yet carrying that familiar weigh

SHAYLEThe first thought that came after I pushed him was what if he recognized me?The feel of my lips, the way I kissed, the damn electricity that shot through me just now…what if he realizes I’m the same woman whose virginity he took two nights ago?No. That can’t happen. He can’t know.I searched his eyes immediately, looking for the smallest flicker of recognition. His gaze was wide, startled, like he was surprised by what just happened also. Not a single trace of realization.He didn’t know. Thank God, he didn’t know.But the next second, my hand flew across his face before I could even think. The sound echoed in the quiet street, and even I flinched. My palm stung, and for a heartbeat, I froze, shocked by my own reaction.He deserved it though. Every bit of it.His head turned slightly from the impact. When he looked back, his Adam’s apple moved up and down, and his eyes found mine again. I was breathing fast, my chest rising and falling like I had run a mile.“What the fuck

SHAYLE“Why are you here?” I asked on the phone, wrapping my other arm around myself. “It’s already midnight, in case you didn’t notice.”He didn’t even acknowledge what I said. His voice came through the phone again, calm but heavy. “Come out. It won’t take long.”Then he hung up.I stared at my screen, speechless for a moment, then looked out the window again. His blue car was still parked there, headlights still on, engine sounding smoothly.He stepped out, leaned against the car, and shoved his hands in his pockets like he had every damn right to be here.I blew out a frustrated sigh, grabbed a scarf from my bed, and wrapped it around my neck. I wasn’t going out there because I wanted to. I just wanted to know what the hell was so important that he had to drag me out of bed at midnight.The night air bit my skin the moment I stepped outside. My steps were quiet as I matched towards him and my breath came out in visible puffs. When I reached him, I kept my distance.“Are you aw
