ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS FIRM MASCULINE ARM
The room was completely silent. The only sound was the occasional clatter of Avery's fingers on the keyboard.She had been working for hours, scrolling through spreadsheets, revising documents, and drafting emails she never intended to send. Anything to keep her mind from the intrusive thoughts threatening to engulf her.By the time the clock ticked past midnight, Avery’s vision had gone hazy, but she refused to stop. She couldn’t—not now. Not when her mind kept drifting back to Nathaniel.She buried her face in her palm, pressing gently as if it might ease the heaviness in her eyes. When her throat began to ache, she dragged herself to the restroom, drank some water, then returned to her desk and forced herself back to work.By the time the first rays of light crept in, Avery’s body ached from staying in one position for too long. Her eyes were heavy and unfocused. She pushed herself out of bed, ignoring the haze in her vision and the dull throb in her head. She told herself it was
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS I HATE THAT I LOVE YOU
Avery turned to leave, her heart sinking. She pulled the door shut and nearly collided with Chloe in the doorway.“Miss Cole,” Chloe said, smiling in a way that suggested she had heard enough.Avery gave a small nod, forcing a smile while Chloe slipped into Nathaniel’s office.As she walked down the hallway, she couldn’t help but replay the conversation in her mind.Her stomach twisted uncomfortably, a knot of disappointment coiling inside of her with each step she took.The way he had dismissed her made her feel small and empty, like a fool.All she did was ask him if he was the one.Why did he have to be so dismissive?One moment, he acted like he cared, offering just enough warmth to keep her hope high. The next, he was cold and distant, like she meant nothing at all.First Ethan’s betrayal, and now Nathaniel’s cold indifference. It was almost unbearable, driving her to the edge.Avery wiped her face as she made her way into the office. A few coworkers glanced at her, but she force
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS HEATED CONFRONTATION
When she stepped outside, she saw Ethan waiting.He stood a few feet away, hands tucked into his pockets. His crisp white shirt was perfectly fitted, sleeves rolled up to reveal his forearms, and his ripped blue jeans looked worn in all the right places. He looked the same. His eyes lifted the moment he saw her.“Hey, babe.”Her chest tightened. Of course, he would say that.“Don’t call me that.” Her voice was calm but firm. “I have a name.”He gritted his teeth, but he stepped closer anyway. “Avery… I know I messed up. I know. I’m sorry.”“Sorry doesn’t fix years of lies.” Avery took a step back, putting space between them.“I missed you,” he said quickly. “Every day. It’s been hell without you.”Avery felt her chest ache, but she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of knowing it still hurt. Not after the betrayal.She crossed her arms, keeping her expression neutral. “Why are you here?”Ethan hesitated, shutting his eyes for a brief moment. “Because I want to fix this. I hurt you, a
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS MY WORLD SPIRALLING
Avery couldn’t sleep after the surprising news. She spent the night trying to connect the dots, but no matter how hard she tried, the trail always led back to Nathaniel. Part of her wanted to accept the gesture, let it go, and move on. Another part was unable to shake the curiosity of knowing who was truly behind it. By morning, she made herself a promise to ask Nathaniel about it after the proposal’s internal review. After all, no one knew about her mother’s illness except him. When the time came for the review, Avery forced herself to focus. She gathered her thoughts, organized the data, and forwarded the materials to the necessary departments, even as her mind kept drifting elsewhere. She took in a deep breath, motioning towards the conference room. When she stepped in, her eyes swept across the room, surveying every nook and cranny. Mrs. Graham was back from her leave. She was seated beside Nathaniel while Chloe sat next to Miss Graham. At the far end of the room was Nathani
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS SUDDEN REALIZATION
As the day dragged on, Avery's mind refused to stay present, drifting back to Nathaniel again and again.Each time she tried to focus on her work, she found herself staring at the corner of her desk, imagining his eyes on her, the memory of his closeness, the way he’d leaned over just enough to make her pulse race.Chloe had been watching her ever since she returned from his office and Avery made no effort to meet her gaze, keeping her attention fixed elsewhere and pretending not to notice.Since she’d been assigned to work with Nathaniel, her interactions with Chloe had grown brief and infrequent. She hadn’t called for a task nor caused her any trouble.Avery couldn't help but wonder if she was staying out of her way or quietly plotting something against her.She shut out every distraction and forced her attention back to the task in front of her.The proposal’s internal review was scheduled for tomorrow, and after days of late nights and quiet sacrifices, failure wasn’t an option.
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS AN INVITATION
Avery moved toward the coffee dispenser, waiting her turn. It had been a few days since she’d been assigned to work on the tech proposal with Nathaniel, and things were going well.The tension between them had eased, but her nervous system hadn't caught up. Her heart still raced whenever he stepped too close.She fixed her eyes on the dispenser, fingers tugging at a loose thread on her sleeve as her thoughts wandered. Not until the faint trace of Nathaniel’s cologne reached her did her gaze snap toward its source. He appeared across the open corridor, dressed in his usual suit, moving with effortless confidence. Avery swallowed as she took him in, her focus narrowing until everything else faded.“Do you want your coffee thick?”A deep voice cut through her thoughts.She blinked, slightly startled. “Yes, please.”She offered a polite smile, turning fully to the person beside her. Only then did she realize she hadn’t even noticed who was making the coffee when she walked in.She had be
