The End?

Later that day…

"You should have explained everything to me, Zoey. I'd definitely understand. Yeah, you were in desperate need, but did you consider the implications if you got caught?"

"Uh, you caught me already."

"Oh. I forgot," he chuckled. "If I didn't do you a favor, you'd have allowed me sign it."

Not a question…

"Nuh… uh," she lied.

"Swear, Pinocchio. I want to hear the truth."

"Fine. Yeah, and I'm sorry. I was being selfish, that's why I couldn't think of anything else. Then, I didn't care to know if you lost your company, I just needed the money. But I promise, I'm a changed person."

"Changed indeed. Should I forgive you?"

"I don't know. I feel like I've lost everything already."

"If you say yes, then I will. I don't have a goddamn choice."

"Uh, yeah…"

"No," he crossed his legs slightly.

"W-what?"

"You owe your boss an apology."

"From the depth of my heart, I'm sorry. For everything I'd have cost you, and betraying your trust. Forgive me, sir. Please," her cute puppy eyes begged.

His laughter nearly gave in.

"Come closer…"

She obeyed his command, and took bold steps towards where he sat.

"Go on your knees…" his tone held power. Without reluctance, she knelt before him.

"What next?" she asked innocently, but his mindset was dirty.

He smirked, "Good question." Then he swerved his swivel chair to her direction, and leaned in a whisper.

"Be my slut, amore."

"Uh–

"I never take no for an answer, so you won't be the first nor the last," he gripped her cheekbone firmly, and lifted her gaze.

"Yeah," she shivered. "Besides, I never had plans on turning you down, sir."

"Call me something sweet," his tone went deeper as he stroke her hair gently.

"Erotico."

"Meaning?"

"Sexy, in Spanish. And that's you."

He almost blushed. "Interesting."

The room went into an awkward silence until Adrian initiated a move. "Say the three words."

"I love you?" she asked.

He shook his head. "I want you, amore."

"But those are four words," she smiled.

"It doesn't matter," he lowered his head, sealing it up with a kiss.

The end? No.
