ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS FAITH SHIPPING US.
Avery sat quietly on the edge of her bed, watching the moon paint the sky with a soft radiance through her window.The night had stretched longer than her heart could bear, drowning her in the darkness lingering in her room. She hadn't bothered to turn on the light, the faint glow of the moon illuminating the dark room.Her blazer lay on the chair where she had tossed it when she walked in. She hadn't even eaten. Her mind wouldn't stop replaying that moment. His touch, his voice, his soft lips crashing onto hers. They all replayed vividly in her head. Every time she tried shutting them out, they kept creeping in, messing up her head. And every time she tried closing her eyes, the scene in Nathaniel's office flashed back vividly. His voice, the anger lacing his tone, and the way he had grabbed her firmly by her waist. Avery’s fingers brushed her lips unconsciously. They still tingled.She buried her face in her palms, her pulse hammering beneath her skin.“Avery…you're screwed,” she
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS SURRENDERING TO THE BURNING DESIRE
The other members began packing up, the sound of shuffling papers and scraping chairs filling the room as they all moved out, leaving both of them behind. Avery kept her smile in place, even as her pulse picked up. Being around Nathaniel was easy enough, but standing in his presence was something else entirely.She stayed where she was, her hands clasped in front of her. “You wanted to review the draft, sir?”Nathaniel looked up from his laptop."Yes." he gestured to the seat opposite him. “Sit.”Avery crossed over and sat, placing the file in front of him and aligning it before pulling her hands back into her lap.Nathaniel opened it, skimming through the files while the silence grew heavier with each passing second.Avery sat still, her fingers pressing lightly together in her lap, her gaze fixed anywhere but on him. A page turned, then another.After what seemed like an eternity, he finally looked up, eyes lifting to meet hers. “About your caption draft … It's sharp and clean. A f
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS A SCANDAL
Avery walked out of the HR department with a sense of relief. She had been there for nearly an hour, dealing with one question after another. It was supposed to be a quick submission, but the HR manager had kept her longer than expected.She had been asking a few too many polite questions about how she was settling in, even though she had to lie that everything was going well. It had only been a few days since she joined Hale MARKETING COMPANY, but it all felt like years.She had never thought working in a big company would be this draining, not when her supposed boss was the same stranger she had a one-night stand with.When she got to the top floor, she saw Chloe standing outside Nathaniel's office, holding a stack of files.“Perfect timing. Mr. Hale wanted to hold a marketing briefing in fifteen minutes." Chloe said, her gaze landing on her. “I'll grab the files from the copy room. Go set this up on MR. Hale's desk.”“And join us in the conference room,” she added before filing do
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS INSIDE THE ELEVATOR
By midweek, the company had made a few internal adjustments. Department leads were each assigned to their own private offices to allow easy workflow.Miss Graham had already moved into her new office that morning, leaving the rest of the team members under the supervision of Chloe, the team lead. She was now in charge of overseeing daily progress, managing reports, and coordinating with the department head.The day began with gossip and Avery had already heard more than enough of it since she got in that morning.She tried not to pay attention, but it didn’t take long to realise the whispers were about Chloe. Rumour had it that she was behind the restructuring, all because of her supposed closeness to Nathaniel.“Whoever made the decision made the right choice. It’s just standard company policy,” Avery murmured, turning her attention back to the project she’d been assigned.The office carried on in their low chatter and whispers until Chloe strutted into the room, silence settling in
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS HIS PIERCING GAZE
When it was time to leave, Avery folded Nathaniel's suit jacket over her arm and made her way to his office. Marcus had texted, and he was on his way to pick her up.She carefully opened the door and stepped in. Nathaniel was seated behind his desk, scanning through some stack of files as she entered. "Uhm. I came to return your jacket. Thank you." Avery said quietly, placing the jacket on his desk.His gaze moved from the files and landed on her. That same unreadable expression rested on his face. The kind that makes one question their reality. “You can have it brought back tomorrow,” he said, eyes flicking over her briefly. “You can't go home dressed like that.""I've called a friend of mine already. He would come pick me up," she replied, gesturing slightly.Something flickered in Nathaniel's eyes. She could recognize it. The same look he’d worn when Mara poured her coffee, but it vanished as quickly as it came."Okay." He muttered, moving his attention back to the files on his d
ONE NIGHT, ONE ROOM, AND A BOSS COFFEE SPILL
The next morning, Avery walked into the company in a tailored classic dress. If there was one thing she was exceptionally good at, it was dressing well.She wore a cream silk blouse tucked into a high-waisted black pencil skirt that traced the curve of her hips before falling just below her knees. Her hair was pulled into a sleek, low bun.A gold stud earring glimmered on her ear, and a thin golden wristwatch adorned her wrist.The office elevator buzzed softly as she stepped in, the doors gliding shut as it ascended.Two women stood ahead of her, mid-conversation.Their voices hushed to a whisper the moment they noticed her, but not nearly enough to escape Avery's hearing. "Honestly," one said, leaning forward as she glanced at her reflection in the metal door. "I don't know how he manages to keep a straight face while still sweeping women off their feet. Nathaniel Hale or not, the man is a walking scandal."The other woman laughed quietly. " You mean the rumor? I heard he deals wi
