Office Relationship

Twist

Affair

They had engaged in an illicit affair. All Penelope wanted was to forget about him. He probably didn't even remember her. Penelope Adams had moved on, slowly building a moderate life and raising her six-year-old daughter, Shirley, far from the chaos of her past. A past that included one reckless night with a powerful stranger she never thought she'd see again. But fate had other plans. When Penelope lands a job at one of Alabama's top interior designing firms, she’s stunned to discover the new CEO is none other than Calvin Dawson, the man she gave her body to... and the father of her daughter. He doesn’t remember her – or so she thinks. Caught between a web of deceit, corporate politics, and a scandal that could destroy both their careers, Penelope must do everything to keep her secret buried. But when Shirley is kidnapped by someone targeting Calvin, Penelope is forced to reveal the truth, shattering the fragile balance of their lives. Now, they must work together not only to bring Shirley back, but to uncover who wants to destroy them – and why. Because what began as a one-night affair… Might have been a setup from the very beginning.

CHAPTER 1: Stars Aligned
Ring! Ring!The alarm blared sharply at 6:30 A.M., and Penelope sprang out of bed.“Holy shit!”She had planned to wake up earlier before the alarm clock today. Well at least, she wasn't late.Great start.She dragged a hand down her face, then swung her legs off the bed. No time to sulk. Today wasn’t just another day, it was important.Very important.Rushing into the bathroom, she splashed cold water from the faucet onto her face, trying to wash away the last stubborn traces of sleep.“Penny! Are you still asleep?!”Penelope groaned softly. “I’m awake! I’m coming!”But that didn’t stop Demetria from barging in like a storm.Penelope turned, toothbrush in her mouth, foam at the corner of her lips as she raised a brow at her best friend.Demetria grinned. “You’re actually up early. My good luck charm is working!”Penelope rolled her eyes, though a small smile tugged at her lips.“If your ‘good luck charm’ means stress, then yes, it’s working perfectly.”Demetria gasped dramatically an

CHAPTER 2: Everything is Ruined
Wait…What?Her brows furrowed and her breath hitched. No, it couldn’t be him. No.She looked down, with her eyes darting around alarmingly.The CEO raised a brow, “Miss. Adams?”That voice. That…Her eyes looked up at him. It couldn't be…no it couldn't. She had hoped, she had hoped so bad that this would be her lifting point. But …how?The same dark eyes, the same sharp features.The same man whose touch she had tried - scrap that - failed to forget. The man who had unraveled her in one reckless night.Was sitting right in front of her, behind the CEO’s desk.Penelope’s fingers tightened, her nails pressing into her palm as if grounding herself in reality.This wasn’t happening. This couldn’t be happening. Jesus, no.But here she was, coming for an interview, meeting face to face, with the one man she thought she would never see again.The silence in the office was so deafening, Penelope felt her ears ring. It was so tight and gripping.She wasn't sure she could breathe. No, she actu

CHAPTER 3: Shirley's Father
She stepped out of the office, closing the door softly behind her. And the moment it clicked shut, her composure shattered.The hallway felt too bright, even too loud. Her vision blurred slightly as she walked.She took one step. Then another.Her chest felt tight and she clutched it. Her stomach churned.She couldn’t think, couldn’t process.All she could feel was the weight of it. The failure, the humiliation.The past colliding with the present in the worst possible way.Why?Why did this have to happen?By the time she reached the waiting area, she barely registered anything around her.Except—“Penny!”Demetria.She rushed toward her, eyes bright with excitement, “How was it?!”Penelope stopped. Her blue eyes drifted to her friend's brown ones. Her lips parted. But no words came out. It was as if time was slowing down for her…Demetria’s smile faltered slightly.“…Penny?”Penelope blinked, staring.And in that moment, she looked like she had seen a ghost. Her eyes were distant, sha

CHAPTER 4: Agony Inside
"What?!”Demetria’s voice rang through the room like a firecracker.Penelope flinched, “I…keep your voice down!” she hissed, glancing instinctively toward the door, as if the walls themselves might carry the secret away.But Demetria was already pacing.“No, no, no—wait!” she spun back around, pointing at Penelope like she had just uncovered a crime. “You mean to tell me… the CEO? Calvin Dawson? The tall, brooding, ‘I-look-like-I-own-the-world’ man… is Shirley’s father?!”Penelope pressed her lips together and pinched her glabella, “…Yes.”Demetria let out a strangled noise and dragged both hands down her face.“Oh my God.”Silence followed. But it wasn't calm. It was the kind that buzzed with too many thoughts and too many questions clawing for space.Then,“Why didn’t you tell me?” Demetria asked, quieter now, but no less shaken.Penelope’s shoulders dipped, “I didn’t think it mattered.”That earned her a look. One that said that answer was unacceptable.“Didn’t think it mattered?”

CHAPTER 5: Welcome to Dawnat
The building looked even taller the second time as she came. Like it wanted to show her it held more power than she could think of.Penelope stood just outside the glass doors, her fingers curled tightly around the strap of her bag. Today, she wore a red dress that hugged her curves exactly. She wasn't someone who usually liked to gain attention.But Demetria had forced her to wear it.“It would make a statement!” She repeated over and over again.But Penny sighed, “I don't like what it's stating.”And Demetria looked at her with a grin, “And so will Calvin.”Demetria would have accompanied her today as well, but she had to go to her own work.“You’ve got this, Penny!” Demetria had told her, before she stepped into the cab. “And remember – he’s just a man.”Not just a man, Penelope thought. But she nodded nonetheless.“Okay.”With one last breath, she turned and stepped inside the company. Everything felt familiar when she stepped in. But at the same time, it didn't.As she walked in

CHAPTER 6: Yin and Yang
The cab ride home was a blur of neon lights and second thoughts. Penelope leaned her head against the cool glass of the window, replaying the interview like a film she couldn't switch off.Should she really be doing this? Couldn't she just forget about the job and have nothing to do with that man?Whether she liked it or not, her life was already tangled with Calvin’s. The history was there, a heavy, invisible weight between them. Was it actually possible to work for him and keep things professional? Could she walk into his world every day and emerge unscathed?She let out a long, slow breath, her blue eyes tracking the rain-streaked streets of Birmingham. It’s not forever, anyway, she told herself. It was a means to an end. Once she had the money and the references, she’d resign and finally pursue her dream of becoming a Designer. A small, determined smile touched her lips. Yeah, that was the plan.By the time the cab pulled up to her apartment, the anxiety had shifted into a mild e

CHAPTER 7: First Day
Monday arrived like an uninvited guest, slipping in without warning. Penny didn’t know whether to feel happy about that… or not.But guess who was absolutely thrilled and screaming?Oh yes. You already know.“PENELOPEEEEEEEE!!”Penny sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.“PENNYYYYY!”The shriek grew louder, inching closer and closer until Penny briefly considered jumping out of her window.Then the door banged open. A bouncing Demetria appeared.“UP NOW! YOU HAVE WORK TO DOOO!”Penelope slowly sat up, her expression blank and exhausted.“Demi… it’s seven in the morning. Our neighbors are going to think we’ve adopted a wild animal.”“Well, who cares about them? Today is a bright day!”“Every day is bright for you,” Penelope muttered, massaging her temples.Demetria startled her by jumping onto the bed, grinning like she had just won the lottery.“That’s because you have me in your life and I have you!”Penelope laughed softly.Truly, she couldn’t imagine her life without Demetria.

CHAPTER 8: Burning Spark
Calvin’s speech was short and devoid of warmth. He spoke of "restructuring," "unprecedented growth," and "weeding out the stagnant." A very stark warning.Penelope didn't hear a word of it. She was too busy calculating the fastest route to the emergency exit. Could she quit today? Could she claim a family emergency and never come back? But her mother's rent was due, and Shirley needed new shoes for school, and this job paid three times more than what her last jobs all combined had offered."Now," Calvin said, his tone shifting. "I’d like to meet the new faces of the design team. Step forward."A wave of panic surged through her. One by one, the new hires stepped into the light. Penelope moved like a robot, her legs heavy as lead. She stayed as far to the left as possible, keeping her chin tucked.Calvin began to walk the line. He shook hands with a few seniors, his movements efficient. He didn't smile, because he didn't need to. He was perfectly handsome already stoic.As he approach

CHAPTER 9: The Lion's Den
The 42nd floor, Calvin's territory, didn't just feel like a higher elevation; it felt like a different atmosphere entirely. She stood before the oak doors, her knuckles poised to knock. Her reflection in the polished wood showed a woman who looked composed, but inside, Penelope was a frantic blur of "what-ifs." Knock. Knock."Enter."The word was a command and Penelope pushed the door open.Calvin’s office was a masterpiece of cold, masculine power. Huge spans of glass showcased the city, but the interior was all shadows and sharp angles. Calvin was silhouetted against the light, standing with his back to her, staring out at the horizon. He didn't turn around.“Good morning, Sir,” she said hurriedly.“Good morning, Adams. I'm sure you were told why you are here?”She gulped, “Yes I was.“"Good. The measurements for the lounge area are in the folder," Calvin said and Penelope nodded.Her voice sounded small in the vast room. "I’ll start with the north wall and stay out of your way, M

CHAPTER 10: The Boss can be Intense
When Penelope got back to her office, she was drained. When Calvin had asked her that, she had felt her soul leave her body. Had she spoken her thoughts out loud?!But thankfully, he didn't say anything else and walked back to his desk.Penelope exhaled shakily as she pushed the door open, stepping into the familiar space. The soft hum of computers, the faint clicking of keyboards, the muted rustle of paperwork, everything felt oddly distant, like she was hearing it from underwater.She didn’t realize she had paused at the entrance until –“Hey, Penny… are you okay?”Wilson’s voice pulled her back.Her eyes fluttered upward, meeting his concerned gaze. He was already halfway out of his chair, brows drawn together, like he had been watching the door, waiting for her to walk in.“Wilson…” she managed, forcing her lips into a small smile. “I’m fine. Yes.”But from the way his expression didn’t ease, she knew he saw right through her lie.He stepped closer anyway, lowering his voice like
