The men slowly exit the living room while Dimitri remains put, but Tommy walks out with the others, with the look on their faces, the boss had instructed them to carry out a task. Once the living room is empty, the boss walks up to me slowly and stops with the same firm look. “Let's just discuss the next step, Ms. May.”Now he sounds very professional pissed off too. I nod as we take a seat, respectively. He pours himself some alcohol and turns to me, and motions with his head that I do the same and I tell him that I'm perfectly okay. “Welcome to my family, THIS is where I call home, except that Daph isn't here. She is stuck up with her Mom, whatever anyway. This is a business trip, yes, but it's not just a business trip. We are associated with some critically dangerous community, and so, you are brought here to handle the franchises and I would handle MY business as well. Dimitri or Tommy would drive you to wherever the meetings need to take place and you'd summarize the who

*May’s POV*I'm unable to sleep, my mind keeps flooding with these crazy thoughts and ideas about my boss. Did we just kiss? The thought of it numbs my knees to the ground, I can't believe it. But why should I bother so much, when we both know that he uses and dumps women, still, I'm not so sure because I've only seen him treat Nina unruly; it's partly her fault. She was stealing from him and Lisa thinks that there is a conspiracy between Madam C and her. I am not certain but I kinda buy the conclusion. The more I try to decipher, the more I get stuck in my emotions, despite the things that he's done to me, I find myself running back to him like I've never fallen in love before. I'm not taking what happened to heart, I believe that that was his way of unwinding and calming down since women are always a part of his fancy. God!!! Help me not to judge him by what others tell me—what Lisa tells me, I want to know him naturally. ~I get dressed for the start of a new day, I just want t


I look from corner to corner given that I'm in a strange place but I don't see anyone. It's a penthouse, and that's all I can gather.
Dimitri shoots me a warning stare to keep walking and I do nothing but follow his instruction.
Although I'm worried that there's nothing I can do, I hate feeling extremely helpless.
When we are in the living room, I see my boss emerging from the stairway like royalty. His brown eyes glistened with slight hints of yellowish streaks.
I stare into his cold eyes while he stares into mine, I'm not sure what to feel. I feel a certain level of calm, yet conflicting thoughts arise at once.
“Ms. May?” his baritone resounded almost startling me I smiled a little.
“How do you do?” Now he's standing in front with his strong but compelling cologne hitting my nostrils from end to end.
I fiddle with my fingers nervously, I feel his warmth and tenderness surrounding me, and my mind is unsettled—chills are sent down my spine at this point.
“Ms… May?”
He calls out ag

“Sir, I will pick a dress when I’m done. Could you please excuse me for a moment?” I bite out, a little bit surrendering my defenses to my boss.“I’ll let you dress up, Raven, but I must remind you, we have limited time,” he says to me like a perfect gentleman that he's not because why would he intentionally barge while I just got out of the bathroom?I debate in my mind as I watch him leave the room. Finally, the door closes, and I sigh with relief.It's a total bummer. What does my boss want from me? If Dimitri were here, he would assume that I'm seducing the boss when I have no idea how to lead a man on.Fucking nitwit, I curse out loud....I'm striding down the hallway wearing a fucking black body dress and a killer badass hat that has a creative short fringe, something that models on a fashion runway wear.Not just that, I'm wearing black long gloves since the dress is strapless and has a deep V-cut over my cleavage.And I don't want to start with my heels, they are a pair of sl
