This couldn't be a coincidence, right? I had heard the CEO had his own private elevator, so why would he settle for the general one?Or was this just one big scheme concocted by the universe to screw me over?!"Good day, sir," Caspian broke the awkward silence with a nervous greeting, but the CEO didn't spare him a glance; he was looking at me.Oh, Lord, he's looking at me!We had already reached our departmental floor, so Caspian politely smiled at the cold man and hurried out of the elevator to make way for him.I trailed behind Caspian, keeping my head as low as possible to avoid his lingering stare. But my efforts were thrown out the window when, at the last moment, he caught my wrist and pulled me back.Caspian whipped his head toward us, his mouth open in shock, but it was already too late.The doors closed, leaving me alone with him.Again.I held my breath as he whirled me around and pinned me against the wall in the next second. His grip on my hands tightened as he drew them

Tonight was the night.I looked over myself in the mirror, a proud grin spreading across my face as I mentally high-fived myself for a job well done. My dress was perfect in more ways than one, embodying true class and elegance. Its fabric, a mesmerizing shade of emerald green, caught the light with a subtle shimmer, hinting at the luxury woven into every thread. I had designed it with a playful yet sophisticated thigh-high slit that promised freedom of movement and a touch of daring.The bodice hugged the curves of my body in the best way yet comfortably, allowing for a silhouette that was both flattering and forgiving. The low sweetheart cut of the upper bodice showed off my cleavage in a daring statement. It was adorned with delicate patterns, not too elaborate but with enough detail to draw the eye and spark curiosity.The sleeves added a whimsical touch, slightly loose and flowing, tapering to a gentle close at the wrists. Around the neckline, a subtle play of lighter green, almo

As I mounted the stage, I tried my best to contain my tears. Mrs. Juniper watched me from where she sat, a proud grin on her face as she gave me a thumbs up, and I humbly acknowledged her with a small nod of my head.The CEO turned to me, and a delighted giggle slipped from my lips, a pure innocent sound of happiness that seemed to take him by surprise. It lasted only for a few seconds, and I was too overjoyed to register this subtle reaction. The CEO's expression was unreadable as he reached out for a handshake before handing me the award, and I could no longer sense the anger that once raged in his eyes.I knew it was a basic formality, but as I shook his hand, I felt an unfamiliar emotion swirl in my chest.His hand felt smooth and firm against mine, but then a flash of how they felt in my hair replayed in my head. In that split moment, I jerked away from his hold like I had touched hot coal, the memory of his touch scalding me.No one else but him seemed to notice my odd reaction,

As the command hung in the charged silence, an electrifying rush of adrenaline surged through my veins, intermingling with the fluttering excitement and apprehension that swirled within me. This mix of emotions was a potent cocktail, thrilling yet terrifying in its intensity.The CEO says nothing as he pulled me to my feet and positioned himself on the bed, an invitation in his posture, his legs spread in a confident stance. His eyes, glazed with an undeniable lust, were fixed on me, waiting for the spectacle that was about to unfold.I have never done this before, but as my trembling fingers reach for the zipper of my dress, I found myself hesitating for a fraction of a second.What if he doesn't like what he sees?I had seen this particular scenerio multiple times in movies, and now that I was faced with the vivid experience, I was at loss of what to do. Most importantly, I didn't want to embarrass myself and end up ruining the mood. This man was someone who had most likely been with

LUKE'S POVI had always thought I was a level headed and calculated man, that nothing could ever rile me up to the point where I acted impulsively or out of character. But everything changed when I met her.I was working late on some designs when the head of our HR department called to inform me that an employee had posted unethical content on the company's online platform.I honestly didn't care, nor did I want to bother with such frivolous matters. But when the manager mentioned my involvement in the scandal and the potential threat to my reputation, my interest was piqued, leaving me no choice but to see what the commotion was all about.I certainly didn't expect to find a sex bucket list on the site, neither did I expect to see my name added as a potential partner for completing the said list.It wasn't meant to annoy me, the fact that I was ranked as the third candidate on a sex bucket list of a random employee wasn't enough for my chest to burn with rage.It was beneath me, and
