*knock. Knock. Knock*

Zack winced as he opened his eyes and groggily sat up on the bed. He looked to his bedside table where his alarm clock laid.

At that moment it, was 06:25am, just 5 minutes before his alarm clock would usually ring.

The knock on the door came again and Zack wondered who would be on his door that early in the morning.

Getting out of bed in his sweatpants, Zack went an opened the door to find an unfamiliar face looking at him.

    Standing straight up with his two hands clasped together, Chris' feet continuously tapped against the carpeted floor, impatiently, and yet silently as he watched his grandmother, the president of Vaughn enterprise, slowly, like a snail, read through the papers he had submitted to her.Inside the pocket of his shirt, his phone silently vibrated against his chest, the motion, in a way, helping to ease his nerves. He observed every movement of his grandmother's, the way she would turn over the pages, her nose high up, and it supported her binoculars, her gaze drifting line to line, and the corners of her lips curled downwards.Chris wondered if that action was in distaste, or if it was just the fine lines from old age.Upon reaching the last page, her brows furrowed, and Chris' toes curled as he waited for her comment. "You promised me a partnership with Mr. Burke, didn't you?" Ms Vaughn stared him down with a sharp gaze that was enough to scare away a lion. Chris' hands clasped tighte

    Upon arriving at the meeting room, CEO Kent and his team were already seated. After brief greetings between them, the meeting soon started. Rose's shipping company will no longer cater to only large-scale wholesale shipping but will start providing retail services. Kent would create an app and website for retail orders that would provide easy interaction with customers, while Zack's company would create machinery that will see to it that work is made easier for employees who will handle the day-to-day orders in the warehouses, but that's not all that is in store for Zack. His designated department which had the least sales will see a boost in sales as it will present to a wider range of customers, making Vaughn Tech enterprise rise from lowest to a higher level amid fierce competition, and not only that, getting to sale out all of their wares will enable them to create better devices which will be on par with companies like Samnung and Peach. At the release of the news on Monday,

    Rose was facing away from the door, rearranging the papers on her desk when she heard a knock. "Come in," she said absentmindedly, and when the door was opened and the person walked in and closed the door, she didn't bother to turn around and look, expecting it to be anyone of her employees. The person walked in, but it didn't sound like Alice's heels and if Finn was wearing that kind of perfume, she would have noticed it earlier in the car. That familiar scent of smoked cedarwood with a hint of vetiver. Rose's heart skipped a beat upon realizing who the perfume belonged to, Rose quickly turned her head to find Zack, who was ardently checking her out from behind shamelessly. His eyes, filled with desire, took in every inch of her from head to toe.Rose could feel her breathing halt. She had no idea one was capable of looking at another with so much hunger, and she swallowed hard. "Zack what are you doing..." Surprised, Rose turned fully to face him, but before she could finish he

    Third-person POV"I must be going crazy at this point," Rose let out a disgruntled groan as she threw the blanket off of her and sat up on her bed.Today was the day they sign off the deal with Corey Tech, and she couldn't help but feel excited, and no, it wasn't the thought of signing the deal itself, but rather, what happened the day they had a meeting at her company with Corey Tech's CEO, Kent, and his employees and then Zack with his assistant.Rose's heart fluttered, remembering that day which had been on replay in her mind ever since.*3 days ago, Monday.Kimberly's steps were rather hasty as she fumbled with the papers in her hand while trying to keep up with Rose's strides and briefing her about the aspects they would cover at the meeting they were on their way to."Alright," was all Rose said after Kimberly was done briefing her, looking impassive.Kimberly looked towards her boyfriend, and he gave her a thumbs up, mouthing a 'good job' and she instantly brightened up with a s

    Rose's POVI naturally got out of bed and went to the shower. Only when the warm water started dripping on my naked body, washing all remnants of sleep away, did I start coming back to my senses. Memories of the previous night started rushing back to me, and it felt like the world came to a standstill. Out in my bedroom and on my bed was the greatest mistake I could ever make yet. "Have I gone nuts? I can't believe I did that sober," I hissed to myself. "Did I really sleep with a business partner?" I asked myself, trying to regret it all, but could I really do that? Then I would have to deny that I enjoyed it, or the fact that I wanted it to happen. Ever since I laid my eyes on Zack, I have been attracted to him. But then, one thing led to another and he became my business partner. Ever since I started working for my company, I vowed to never sleep with or get in any sort of relationship with a colleague. So how did I end up doing this? How am I supposed to face him now? But wai

    "Do you want to finish what we started that night?" Zack blurted out. At his words, Rose's eyes widened in surprise. "What?""I mean," Zack looked away, feeling a bit of regret. That was a bad idea. I shouldn't have.""I am glad I wasn't the only one that felt that way," Rose whispered, and in two steps, covered the distance between before rising on her tip toes and placing a brief kiss on his lips.Rose smiled as Zack's eyes darkened, taking her invitation further by wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her onto his body. He leaned in and started kissing her on the lips in a slow, yet ravishing manner. Rose's hands made their way up and around his neck, trying to get as much of him as she could. After a few seconds, the two pulled out of the kiss, gasping for air, their eyes burning for desire that needed to be quenched."Are you sure about this? Do you really want to...""Just shut up and make love to me already," Rose said, pulling him into her again, this time for a mor
