quotes about their "torrid office romance." My phone buzzed again with another message from Hazel: "There's more! Check these out!" She sent three more links to similar stories. "Media Frenzy: Billionaire CEO-Assistant Relationship Rocks Corporate World" "Office Romance Gone Public: The Risks of Dating the Boss" "Power Imbalance or True Love? The Ethics of Executive-Assistant Relationships" I clicked through each one, a strange mix of emotions swirling inside me. Relief that none of these were about Alexander and me, but also a creeping sense of dread. This could be us. This could so easily be us.

"I'm saying I was in the same shoes as you yesterday; I don't fucking want to share you. But you must know cara, that I don't date." "I... I'm not asking to date you either. You know what happened with my last relationship; I don't want to go into that now." It wasn't a way of getting back at him, she was honest as well as serious. She wasn't asking for emotions or anything deep, but... He understood what she hadn't said, as well as everything she had found the courage to say. "Cara, you must know something else; this stays separate from work. I've never had an affair with an employee because of complications. If you decide you can't handle any part of it anymore, I'll let you go as you wish

Work at Gonzales Inc was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to work. It took my mind off things, I didn’t have to look at my phone and the comments left on the gossip blogs didn’t affect me.

My curiosity piqued, I stuffed my makeup back in my purse and took the newspaper from her. It was a celebrity gossip column. The headline read "Office Romance Turns to True Love." Creasing my brow, I skimmed through the article as fast as I could, lapping up the details of this "juicy story."

“Sure, it’s normal. Secretaries are supposed to be close to their bosses. They match their schedule, their rhythm, their workload. Don’t get jealous, Lia. That’s just how the workplace works.” Before Aurelia could respond, Wulan arrived with a glass of iced coffee in her hand. She sat down across from them and joined the conversation without invitation. “I heard the word jealous,” she said with a mischievous smile. “Careful, Lia. These days a lot of affairs start from workplace romance.” Doni sighed. “Here you go again, Lan. Don’t stress her out.” “I’m serious, Don. A lot of them do! One of my clients at the law firm just got divorced because her husband fell for his secretary. It started wi

But they already submitted it right away after the trip. “I went there for work. And there were three of us,” Hannah defended herself. “But still, isn’t that unusual?” “Really? I’m new here, so I don’t know much. I thought the unusual thing was gossiping about someone when there’s clearly work to be done,” she retorted. “At least we’re not flirting with our boss.” “Me neither,” she said, not to be outdone. “Sure, sure. Let’s pretend you never wore inappropriate clothes and kept going in and out of your boss’s office.”

AMARACHI'S POV. Whoever wrote that article in the school's student journal must be very stupid. He/She probably has a personal issue with Christabel. Nothing in that article is right. Christabel never begged Jeff to have sex with her. This crazy! Who would have done this? I don’t think Jeff did this but apart from Ade, Michelle and me, no one else knows that Christabel likes Jeff. Taking one more look at the article, I hissed and annoyingly left the page. The comments were very nasty.

Aneliss begins to tell me, until she realizes I didn't know anything, when she mumbles, "Hell... Forget it, nothing happened. But even if reports come in about me and something that happened in the workers' break room, don't believe it, they're lies." And that's a clear example of what my sister is to my company, a pain in the ass, always doing things that I find out eventually and have to fix. As if I don't have enough of my own problems and those of the company I run, I also have to deal with Aneliss. But sighing, trying to ignore what she just confessed to me, I say, "I need your help." "Something about work?" Aneliss asks me. "It's about Victoria."

To be honest after yesterday’s sex , I didn’t want to go to the prison again, I wish I don’t have to do this then I flash back to when I returned from work and met my Aunt crying in her bedroom before taking the offer.
