The walk to the door felt longer than usual.

The gold heels Ariel picked made my toes look cute.

I hated that I noticed that.

We stopped just outside the door, and for a second, I seriously considered running into my room, and pretending none of this was happening.

I tried not to think about the last time I went out on a date.

Ariel and I were still working at the restaurant. She had set me up with one of the customers for a tip.

Worst experience of my life.

All he talked about was busty

  • Tangled In Bed With My Boss    CHAPTER FIFTEEN

    I sat on the couch and stared at Mark. I know. I know. I should be ecstatic that some rich dude was in my apartment, sitting on my couch and rubbing his hands while glancing around with a polite smile, but I wasn't. Months back, after I went on a date with Mark and had to leave because Mr. Lincoln had a thing against his workers interacting, Ariel convinced me I did wrong, and I had to make it up to Mark. I was scared Mr. Lincoln might spot us together, so I invited him for dinner at our place. He got in. The table was made all under Ariel's supervision. After he sat down and I asked how he wanted me to make it up to him, he asked about the company's undisclosed project. I knew right away he wasn't interested in me. He was just after Mr. Lincoln. Everything grew awkward after I told him I signed an NDA. I shifted my gaze when his eyes settled on my face. He didn't say a word for a minute, and neither did I. I understand why he would want to know about the Mr. Lincoln project, bu

    I had believed I could handle the process, but when the nurse gave me the form to fill out, I just panicked.I dropped the pen and paper and rushed out.I was overwhelmed.Tears filled my eyes, and slowly I was unraveling.A few meters away from the hospital, I pulled out my phone and called Ariel. My hands were trembling. She picked the first ring.“What's up, babe?” She asked. I heard glasses clinking and liquor pouring in the background. She was busy, and I hated disturbing her, but I needed her, “babe! Are you there?”Tears followed.“Ariel! I'm pregnant.” My voice came with a pathetic hiccup as I tried to find a place to stand and be miserable without causing a scene.People drifted in pairs down the street.I tried to blink away the tears, but it proved impossible as they slid down my cheeks.“What!” Ariel screams into the phone. I hear muffled voices in the background before she lowers her voice. “I didn't hear you right. Did you say you are pregnant?”“You did!” I sobbed harde

    My whole existence flashed before my eyes, and my heartbeat was now drumming in my ears.I didn't know what to say other than biting my lips and trying hard not to cry.“The CCTV in my house was temporarily disabled, but Mia told me you saw both of us together and left.”I let out a breath.Mia actually covered it up.“You are my assistant, Jasmine. In situations like that, you are supposed to do your job. That's the reason I texted you, but at the end of the day, you chose to be an idiot.”When Mr. Lincoln was done bashing me with words, I returned to my office. I collapsed into the chair. Does this mean I'm saved?He did say the Security Cams were temporarily disabled.I exhaled and pushed it to the back of my mind. It would pass.This moment would definitely pass.Right?It felt too easy. I shook my head. Thirty thousand dollars was a big amount. Mia would definitely keep her mouth shut.I kept myself busy with files and emails. By the end of the day, I had completed a week's worth

    “You will make sure Mr. Lincoln approves the shipment that will move tomorrow.” Stella dropped some documents on my desk.I didn’t even glance at them.I was too distracted—my eyes fixed on the glass doors, waiting for Mr. Lincoln to walk through.I had no choice but to agree to send Mia a whopping sum of thirty thousand dollars to shut her up.The number alone made my chest tighten.I was both annoyed… and a little relieved.About half an hour had passed, and Mr. Lincoln still wasn’t in the office.Every passing second stretched my nerves thinner.Mia was still downstairs, but I had given her my number, telling her to message me once she spoke to him.“Hey.”I jumped.Startled.My heart slammed against my ribs before I realized Stella was still standing in front of me.She was watching me closely.I hurriedly grabbed the documents, my hands clumsy—knocking over the flower vase in the process.Flowers tilted.I quickly set it back up as nothing had happened.Like I wasn’t falling apar

  • Tangled In Bed With My Boss    CHAPTER ELEVEN

    Ariel and I sat on my bed, both lost in thought.The tension had simmered a little, but not enough to disappear. It just settled. Heavy, quiet. Our minds were probably racing in different directions.Ariel probably had a thousand things to say, but she held them in. I knew she was.Her eyes did that thing—darting slightly to both sides—whenever she was holding herself back.“What if you just resign?” she suddenly blurted out.I shook my head immediately.“That would be a little too much,” I said. “And besides, I still need this job.”“You don’t need it.”“I do!” I corrected, a little too quickly. “Abigail is still in school, and I don’t want my sister to suffer when she gets into college. I really don’t want to do something that might mess up everything in my life.”Ariel went quiet after that.She dropped it.And somehow, that silence said more than words.We eventually fell asleep on my bed, exhaustion pulling us under whether we were ready or not.The next morning, I tried to act l

My hands were shaking, and so was my chest.What had I done?I absently got off the bed, put on my clothes, and stumbled out of his room.I had taken advantage of him.Oh God.What kind of a monster am I?After getting that job, I thought I could bury those silly feelings, so every day I plunged myself into work and silenced every thought that reminded me of the man I could never have.It was hard—because I saw him every day.
