View MoreThe arrival of Black Friday was like the beat of war drums, throwing the entire market into a frenzy, an unstoppable surge like waves crashing against a storm-tossed shore. Emily sat at her desk in the WhaleTech office, her posture focused, her eyes glued to the screen. Her fingers moved rapidly across the keyboard, each keystroke sharp and crisp, embodying the rhythm of her urgency and determination.Around her, the atmosphere was equally tense; her coworkers were engrossed, each caught in the chaos of the biggest sales event of the year.

After finishing their game, Sara headed to the locker room to change, and Jay, without hesitation, followed her in, quickly shutting the door behind them. The demands of the Black Friday project had kept them both incredibly busy, and it had been a while since they last had a rendezvous. To make things worse, Jay's wife had recently taken to dropping by unannounced on weekends, which left them no room for privacy. The secluded locker room seemed like the perfect opportunity—a rare moment for Jay to indulge himself.As soon as Jay stepped inside, his desire got the better of him. He wasted no time in pressing Sara against the wall, his hands already roaming. Sara tried to push him back, whispering urgently, "Don't—someone might be in the next room."Jay's eyes were filled with hunger as he locked his gaze onto hers. "I already checked," he growled. "There’s no one—not even a fly. Relax. And remember, if it hadn't been for me covering your tracks last week, your little report on Emily w
Beneath the bustling city lights, a web of desire and danger quietly unfurled like an undercurrent hidden behind the glamorous surface. The sun filtered through the towering buildings, illuminating every corner of the city, yet it seemed unable to pierce the shadows lurking beneath the gloss.Jay, an ambitious middle-aged man, was determined to regain Leo's trust. He scoured for information until he learned that the CEO of Aurelius Capital had an unbreakable habit—every last Saturday of the month, he would be at the golf course. This news was like a beacon in the darkness, igniting a flicker of hope in Jay's heart. He could see the bright future that awaited if he could once again earn Leo's favor, and the desire grew stronger within him. With a meticulous plan in mind, Jay was ready to seize this rare opportunity and pave a path to his own ambitious future.Jay, now in his forties, rarely exercised, and his body had begun to show signs of age. But for this critical moment, he made the
After hanging up the phone, Alex's eyes remained cold, his fingers lightly tapping on the table. He knew Leo would thoroughly investigate the matter, but he was also aware that the malicious report against Emily was far from simple. The anonymous letter was clearly just the tip of an iceberg, hiding beneath it a formidable force. Somewhere along the way, Emily had unknowingly stepped on someone's toes, or perhaps she had become their target.On the other end of the call, Leo ended the conversation with a faint smirk. There were people with hidden agendas in the company—he had long suspected it. Such a cunning, malicious report was beyond the capabilities of an average employee. It was time to test just how deep this murky water ran.The morning sun streamed through the glass of the office building, illuminating the polished floors with a warm glow. Emily entered the office with a hint of apprehension, the lingering unease of yesterday's events refusing to leave her mind. The weight of
The night had settled in, casting a gentle glow across the room as Emily carefully set the dinner table. She arranged the dishes with precision: pan-seared salmon glistening with golden perfection, bright red poached shrimp piled neatly on a platter, a fresh salad with crisp greens, and a bottle of handpicked red wine to complement the meal. Every dish reflected the care and thought she had put into this dinner, her own subtle way of expressing gratitude. As Alex entered the living room, his eyes scanned the table, a hint of admiration lingering in their depths.“Looks good,” he said in his low, even tone, as he pulled out a chair and took a seat.Emily gave him a gentle smile, settling into the seat across from him, lifting her glass for a toast. “Thank you for all your help,” she said warmly, “and also, thank you for the gift you brought back today.”The gift from Alex was a delicate silk scarf, its soft fabric and intricate pattern clearly marked it as something special, crafted by
The morning sunlight poured through the window, bathing the room in a golden warmth. As Emily thought of how well the Black Friday project was progressing, a sense of fulfillment washed over her, and she couldn't help but smile. Sitting comfortably on her bed, she reached for her phone, wanting to thank Alex in some way for his support. After thinking for a moment, she drafted a subtle message to him:Emily: "Hey Alex, what evening are you free this week?"Alex: "I'm free all week. Have you suddenly grown a conscience and want to make it up to me?"Reading his teasing response, Emily couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling her heartbeat pick up just a little. She typed back with a smile:Emily: "Hmm... I might be able to leave on time today, so why don't you come over for dinner tonight?"Seconds later, his reply appeared, just as simple but laced with his familiar hint of mischief:Alex: "Sure, looking forward to my 'compensation'."Emily couldn't suppress her smile as she stared at the w
The soft morning sunlight filtered through the marble-glass windows of the company's headquarters, spilling gently into the spacious training hall. The brightness lit up the room, wrapping it in a warm, dignified glow, as if welcoming the new employees who had entered, full of expectations. Emily's steps were light as she walked into the hall, her expression reflecting her bright spirit. She wore a simple yet stylish business outfit, her hair tied in a neat ponytail, and her face was bare of any makeup, except for a touch of skincare that left her complexion radiant and fresh. Even without elaborate adornment, her natural beauty—those expressive eyes and the soft, genuine smile curving her lips—turned her into a sight that caught everyone's attention, a refreshing breeze amidst the formal environment.She paused politely in front of the sign-in desk, offering a gentle greeting to the staff. With graceful care, she signed her name neatly on the roster, collected her name badge and trai
The first rays of early morning light filtered gently through the curtains, bathing the room in a soft glow. Emily stirred in her sleep, slowly turning over, her mind still lost in a lingering sense of warmth. In her dream, Alex’s aristocratic face hovered close, his dark eyes smoldering with intensity. She could almost feel his breath against her skin, his lips hot as they met hers, a kiss that was both dominating and burning. Every inch of him was pressed tightly against her, his hand sliding around her waist with a possessive strength that both captivated and overwhelmed her. Their breaths mingled, and the sensation of being engulfed by him seemed to erase everything else, each heartbeat echoing louder until it felt as if nothing existed outside of that heated entanglement.Emily could feel herself losing herself in the fervor of that dream, slipping further into a desire that felt dangerously deep.Suddenly, she gasped, her eyes snapping open, the vividness of the dream evaporatin
When Emily received Jay's company message, her heart skipped a beat, and a swirl of questions instantly flooded her mind. Why was Jay calling for her so suddenly? They barely had any one-on-one interactions before. Was there something wrong with the design submission, or was it that the campaign plan needed some last-minute adjustments? She took a deep breath, straightened the paperwork on her desk, and walked towards the tech department.Jay's desk was at the corner of the tech department, positioned near the window. A few desk lamps bathed his workspace in a soft glow, highlighting his calm and composed silhouette. When he saw Emily approach, he gestured towards the empty chair beside him, indicating that she should sit. Emily felt her nerves tighten, and she took the seat obediently, doing her best to appear composed."I can't seem to find the final version of the Black Friday designs in the system," Jay said in a measured, polite tone. "I need to put together a presentation. Could
