ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS EYES ON YOU
After Nathaniel left the room, Avery slowly slipped out of the bed, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She headed toward the tall mirror standing in the corner, its polished frame catching her well-built body. She examined her face, which was a little bit puffy from lack of sleep. After taking in every detail of her reflection, she made her way towards the bathroom. She couldn't afford to keep Nathaniel waiting downstairs.Inside the restroom, everything was perfectly arranged, almost as if someone else lived here besides Nathaniel. New toothpaste, new toothbrushes, neatly stacked essentials—everything she needed was already waiting for her.Avery let out a quiet chuckle as she settled into the bathtub. “At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if I found a woman’s clothes in here.”When she finished, Avery blow-dried her hair and stepped out. She paused at the bedroom door, surprised to find a neatly folded, brand-new set of clothes waiting on the bed. Beside the cloth
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS HIS VULNERABLE SIDE
Avery lay awake in the unfamiliar guest room, staring at the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling as rain tapped heavily against the window. No matter how had she closed her eyes, her thoughts kept drifting back to Nathaniel—the tension between them in the living room, the way his gaze had lingered on her.The room shimmered with quiet luxury. Although it was designed in a modern style, it still carried a touch of old-world elegance, as if it were guarding secrets from another era. The air smelled clean, with a faint hint of polished wood and vanilla. Avery wondered how he had managed to keep the place so pristine when she hadn’t seen a single worker since her arrival.She pulled the blanket tighter around herself, a soft creaking sound slipping through the wall and sending a quiet shiver down her spine. She turned onto her side and squeezed her eyes shut, as if sleep might come if she tried hard enough.Just when she thought nature had given her a grace, a sound rippled th
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS UNEXPECTED GUEST
Nathaniel stepped aside to let her pass, the silence between them heavier than the rain tapping against the window.The room gleamed with a polished marble floor and sleek, minimalistic furniture as she carefully settled on the chair, the soft leather pressing gently under her skin. A giant abstract painting rested on the wall, dominating the living room. The room was eerily empty, contrary to her expectations of workers scurrying everywhere. She watched Nathaniel as he lowered himself into the chair next to her, his presence suddenly filling the quiet space. Her throat flushed with heat as the faint scent of his cologne lingered around her, her pulse quickening.Avery pushed the stack of files toward him as he grabbed them deftly, his eyes scanning each page with unwavering concentration.While waiting, Avery took in the room once more.At the far end was a carved area dedicated to bookshelves, filled with different books.As her eyes roamed around, she felt her jaw clench due to
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS A TRIP TO MY BOSS'S HOUSE
Avery dragged herself back to the office, her feet aching from hours of walking through beauty stores, interviewing customers, and comparing products.She placed the research work neatly on her desk, arranging the folders in a small pile. Today had drained her completely, and she couldn't wait to stack all her drafts together and be done with the chaos.Most of the staff had already gone home, leaving the room quiet except the shuffle of the remaining employees.Chloe was still there. Of course she was. She was one of the few employees always lingering behind after everyone else had left.Chloe sat comfortably behind her desk, eyes fixed on her screen.When she looked up, her lips curved in a smile that didn't reach her eyes."Miss Cole." she said. "All done with the research?" "Yes." Avery replied, swallowing her irritation. "I got everything we need.""Good," she nodded. “MR. Nathaniel already left. You would have caught him if you’d come about thirty minutes earlier.""Should I le
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS A DAGGER TO MY CHEST
Avery took a sip of her coffee, her nails clicking against the keyboard.It was project review day, and everyone was putting the final touches on their draft before Nathaniel kicked off the presentation.Avery had gone over the ad caption draft again, fine-tuning every line to perfection. Yesterday had gone well, but she couldn't shake the uneasy feeling in her chest. Maybe it was her mother's health, or perhaps it was the silence dawdling between her and Nathaniel.She barely even noticed when Chloe came in with her usual authoritative energy."Everyone," Chloe said, clapping her hands slightly. "Conference room. MR. Nathaniel wants an update on our progress."Murmurs and whispers resonated through the room as everyone stood up, ready to give all their best.Files were gathered, laptops closed, and chairs pushed back. Avery picked up her file and notepad, following the team out.Inside the conference room, the atmosphere carried a hint of tension. Nathaniel was already seated at his
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS A STRESSFUL MONDAY
Monday mornings always came too soon. The weekend had been a nightmare she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried. The sleepless night, the memory of her mom lying weakly on the hospital bed, and how she had masked her pain just to keep Avery from worrying. They all weighed on her.Every time she closed her eyes to sleep, her mother's face appeared, pale and drained of colour. By the time she reached the office, the building simmered with the usual Monday energy, the air carrying the faint scent of coffee. The laughter and the giggles of the employees echoed through the corridors.As Avery was about to step into her department, she caught sight of Elena walking through the hallway. She was holding a cup of latte, her smile still as bright as the starlight. Since they worked in different departments, they hadn't really crossed paths since that day.Elena's eyes lit up the moment she spotted her, walking towards Avery's direction. "Hiii…""Hi, Elena." Avery gave a polite smile."
