Brixlee wasn’t sure what to do, was she to pull away from this moment she had secretly wished for?Nathan pushed her gently towards the bed, never once breaking the kiss. She stumbled back onto the soft mattress, watching as he climbed on top of her. He trailed kisses down her neck and along her collarbone, eliciting soft moans from her lips.Brixlee felt none of this was right, Nathan was her boss. She slowly placed her hand on his chest slightly pushing him backwards. Nathan was thrown aback as he tried to maintain his balance.“This isn’t right, Mr Grey” Brixlee murmured as she walked out of the room, leaving Nathan all alone in the room looking as perplexed as ever before. Brixlee made her way down the stairs, she needed to cool off all the heat and calm her nerves. She found herself walking towards the lush garden at the back of the building, which was eerily quiet, just what she needed. The garden was filled with beautiful flowers, fragrant bushes, and flickering lights that sho

Next Day…Nathan and Brixlee were back at the office. So much had happened on their trip to New York and none of them could ever get over it. Again, Brixlee had thought Nathan had no memory of the kiss they shared and their barely avoided make out session because he never for once asked her about that night. She felt it was for the better, things would have gotten weird if he had remembered.As Brixlee walked into the office that morning, she was happy to be finally back to that familiar environment. Nathan wasn’t yet at work but Tyler was seated on an empty chair with his head bowed.Brixlee smirked, thinking it was one of his many tricks to avoid her again. Tyler didn’t say a word as Brixlee took her seat and she was a bit worried. The Tyler she knew would have said dozens before she even found her seat.Brixle cleared her throat.”You didn’t see me entering?!” she asked and Tyler didn’t reply her again this time. Brixlee knew something was wrong.”You’re okay, Tyler?!”She asked softl

Brixlee wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks as she walked out of the office building, her steps felt heavy with defeat. The weight of Nathan's anger and the loss of her job weighed heavily on her heart. She tried to steady her breathing, finding solace in the rhythm of her footsteps against the pavement, as she made her way home. Was that the end?! After everything, they were just going to part ways like that?!The city streets were bustling with the energy of people going about their lives, completely unaware of the turmoil within Brixlee's soul. The fading daylight cast a soft golden glow, bathing the bustling sidewalks in an ethereal light. Yet, Brixlee found no comfort in the familiar sights and sounds of the city that she had once embraced.Every step echoed with the memories of her time at the office, of the collaborative atmosphere and the friendships she had formed. But now, all she could think about was the shattered trust and the words that had cut deep into her spirit.

Next day…Nathan dropped the phone after ending the call, he was just on the phone with his father who was asking him if he could join him for dinner since it was a weekend. As Nathan sank into his couch in the living room, the door bell rang, and he frowned wondering who was trying to disrupt his quiet evening. As he pushed open the door, he wasn’t at all surprised to see Tyler.“Hey, bro ” Tyler said as he walked in without waiting for Nathan to let him in.As he slummed on the couch, he waited for Nathan to sit before he finally spoke. “I heard you reconciled with your dad,”Tyler began slowly. “That’s nice, but guess whose idea it was?!”Nathan knew where Tyler was going, he was trying to prove that Nathan was wrong and Brixlee was right.“I don’t want to drag this any further, Tyler” Nathan replied calmly as he got on his feet and tried to leave but Tyler stopped him.“Look, Nathan, I know your ego won’t let you admit you’re wrong but even if you don’t hire Brixlee back, you shoul
