My phone alarm rang loudly beside me, waking me up from my sleep. “It’s morning already,” I said in a sleepy tone, with my eyes tightly closed. I stretched on the bed, opened my eyes, and yawned loudly before sitting up. The first thing my eyes caught was the artwork on the wall. “Feels so good to see this first thing in the morning instead of my old dusty wooden wardrobe.” I ran my hands through the bed. God. This bed is such a luxury. It was much softer and more comfortable than the one back at my cottage. I could honestly sleep here all day if I didn’t have somewhere to be. It didn’t even take up to five minutes to doze off after lying on it, which was surprising because I had thought it would be hard to sleep after what happened during my dinner with Dexter. Speaking of dinner…My mind immediately flashed back to everything that happened. I shook my head immediately, shutting the memories off. This was a new day. I can’t spoil the day before it even started by thinking abo

I could have sworn he was at the other end of the hall discussing business with some of his associates. That was one of the reasons I felt comfortable talking to Mr. Michael here.“Sir,” I blurted out.Dexter walked over and stood beside me, staring at Michael.Michael looked at Dexter, then back at me.“Mr. El Camino.” He stretched out his hand. “I really enjoyed your presentation on stage.”“Thank you.”Dexter replied as he shook his hand, but he didn’t return his smile. He still had a frown on his face.Why was he staring at him that way?Was he mad that I was talking to someone when I was here for business?But it was just a normal conversation Or at least, that was what I thought.“So, Mia…” Michael continued. “I’m still waiting for your answer.”I opened my mouth to speak.“Miss Mia,” Dexter corrected him before I could even say a word.Then he turned to me.“Didn’t you tell him you have work to do?”I lowered my eyes for a second.Work?I wanted to ask him what exactly he thought

I glanced at Mia from the corner of my eyes. She was still staring through the window.She had been really quiet after our conversation about what happened at the conference, and judging by the way her lips were pressed tightly together, she was still angry about what I had said.I sighed quietly. Maybe I had gone too far.Calling her flirtatious probably wasn’t the best way to put it. But what was I supposed to think when I saw her standing there talking to Michael?She was supposed to be working. Instead, she was smiling and having a conversation with a man who clearly wanted more than just a simple business discussion. And then he asked her to dinner.I frowned.Still, that didn’t explain why I had walked away from the executive I was speaking to just to go over there.I could have let Mia handle it herself. She was perfectly capable of doing that.But for some reason, the moment I saw Michael standing so close to her, I found myself walking toward them.I hadn’t even thought about

By the time the last meeting ended, I was completely exhausted.My feet hurt and my head felt heavy.The only thing I could think of right now was food .I hadn’t eaten anything all day even breakfastThe entire day had been one meeting after another, and every time I thought I would finally get a chance to eat, something else came up.I had spent hours following Dexter around, arranging his documents, answering calls and making sure he got to every meeting on time.Now I was starving.I followed him toward the exit, trying not to show how tired I was.“Are you okay “Dexter asked beside me as we head to the car .“I’m fine sir “I replied not glancing at him.“Hmmmm”he replied .“Have you had anything to eat today?”he asked Why was he asking a question he knew the answer to haven’t we been together all day .“There wasn’t a chance for that”“Why didn’t you say something?”I shrugged.”it’s been a busy day I wound t want to disturb your meetings ,I’ll eat when we get back to the hotel.”

“Fuck,” I said through clenched teeth.Dexter turned toward me immediately.“What?”I quickly shook my head.“Nothing.”Did he hear me?.I screamed in my head.What was I even thinking saying that word with Dexter sitting right beside me?I had been in so much shock when he mentioned seeing a doctor that the only word that had entered my mind was fuck.Because I knew how fucked up this situation was.I was in serious trouble.“Mia.”I looked at him.“Did you just say fuck.”He stared at me with his brows raised.“You must have heard wrongly, sir.”I forced a small smile.“I don’t use curse words.”“Hmmmm”he replied his expression showed he didn’t believe me.Of course he didn’t.I usually tried to be careful around him, but right now I wasn’t even thinking properly.My chest was still hurting slightly ,And somehow, I was more worried about Dexter discovering my secret than the fact that I could barely breathe.He looked down at the bag on my laps Then back at me.“Anyway, make an appointment
