Uhhhhgg, when will this gala end? My feet are killing." " you weren't complaining when you downed four glasses of champagne at the open bar." "It's an open bar. Free drinks. " and besides-" "Try not to overdo it today; we are here in business." "Yes, sir." Eva smiled her professional smile at her boss as he walks away Her boss walks away to speak to other important people. She despises him completely. "You're drunk," Alexander Ashwin said next to her. Eva met her boss in college; he was years ahead of her and a known playboy.
He played with her friend she has disliked him ever since, even though she has a slight crush on him like every other girl They met again when she applied for the job of his secretary, but he doesn't remember her, or so she thinks. Eva is exceptionally close to Alexander Ashwin. They met at a college, and one thing led to another: they had sex. It wasn't awkward when they met later after the party; they have been friends ever since. Eva and Alex had a lot in common, and they'd often meet in places like this because he also had his own company to run. Both Alexander and her boss, Logan Price, came from conglomerate families and took over their family businesses when they were in their last year of university. Eva and Alexander dated on and off even after college, but they were better off as friends with a little bit of benefit and would only stop whenever any of them was seeing someone at the time. Back to the situation at hand, they are currently at a gala event hosted by a friend's company, and Eva was here as her boss's assistant plus one date. Alexander convinced her to split the hotel room with him and she agreed that's how it's always been with them, especially after a night of drinking. While they were talking and laughing amongst themselves someone walked up to them "WOW, will you look at that? His Royal Highness and the CEO's date everyone has been talking about. "And don't they look cozy together for two people who are not supposed to be seen together?" Eva was confused as to what was going on she knows both Alexander'family and her boss had some sort of history and rivalry going on but that had nothing to do with her, right? And her boss never forbade her from talking to her friend; he knew they were close, as long as it didn't affect her work. Floyd Griffin is, the vice president of the magazine who's hosting the launch gala He has a very loud voice and it was heard over the noise of the busy launch gala, She heard him saying excitedly, "I'm kidding, I just wanted to get a dance from you maybe this time you would stop running from me come on" he tried pulling her. " I'm sure your boss and acquaintance won't mind." 'This wasn't the first time he had tried to make a move on her but before she could open her mouth to say anything "Hey babe," she heard from behind her and then felt an arm wrapping around her waist. Floyd was shocked, and Alexander chuckled. "What is he doing?" Eva said something to Alexander, who shrugged and walked away, Logan staring. At his back "Hmm, he seems more hostile than Alex; I will have to ask him later," she reflected. He completely ignored the loud man and turned to Eva with a flirty smile on his face, his eyes deep and brooding. Eva will have to admit that he is very attractive. No wonder girls fall left and right for him. The man oozes sex appeal. But his playboy ways made him disliked by Eva. He fucks around a lot, and Eva has to be the one sending notes and flowers to those he beds with expensive gifts, Eva puts up with him because she needs the job and he's an excellent Boss all things considered "Shall we dance, Eva?" He asked with a smirk on his face She must stop becoming accustomed to his flirting with her. Yes, sure," she replied, and immediately she followed him. She had taken a couple of steps when she heard him talking bitterly about Alex "damn it He's got Mr. Maverick to invest in that project he's doing, and we can still talk to him about the China project we are looking into; I am sure he would be interested." I've been trying to secure a deal with him for years. "We can still talk to him about the China project we are looking into; I am sure he would be interested." "Hm," he said thoughtfully it's still in the planning stage I don't want to jinx it but I'll think about it." "You look stunning tonight; I do not think I have ever told you this, you," he says. "Thank you, sir. You don't look too bad yourself, she replied "You shouldn't call me, sir, outside of work hours. I've told you this several times. You are not on the clock You don't have to address me formally." "Of course," Eva smiled He was about to say something else when another voice called out his name. Logan, Logan," the voice sounded very sweet They both turned and saw Dani. She is the daughter of one of our investors, and she invited herself to the gala. Waving at him and smiling sweetly He smiled that flirty smile he uses to get girls and waved back She had the most outrageous reactions, and it made Eva scoff, and Logan turned to face her, still smiling. Ugh so irritating "What?" he asked Nothing, sir," Eva replied, keeping her face away from him and looking around them instead so he didn't see her irritation. Babe," she heard him call her Why does he keep calling me that? "Why are you ignoring me?" "I'm not. We are dancing, are we not?" "Also, I'm not a babe; you need to stop calling me that." "But you are, though? You are my babe," he said, biting his lips most seductively, making her remember the time they got drunk a couple of months ago and had sex. It was a one-time thing, and it never repeated itself. She pushed him away, saying Songs Over" Walking backward away from him, which made his teasing smile drop, she turned around and made her way back to the bar, where Alexander was waiting for her with a full drink. "I figured you would need another," he says. "Thanks" Looking around at the sides, she saw Dani hanging off Logan's arm She had the most unexpected urge to go up to him and make him... Make him what, exactly? Acknowledge her presence again because she likes it when his eyes are on her. Talk to her? And ignore Dani? Was she crazy? Her legs had gone weak, and her heart was racing. She didn't know whether it was a shock about the thought she just had or that she had had too much to drink and all that was running through her body was arousal. She was too sensible for that Determinedly, she downed another glass, but he had turned his head, and her heartbeat went into overdrive She quickly turned away "I hate that guy."No, you don't," her friend said. " "No, you don't," her friend said. " if you did, you would have quit your job ages ago." "I would have, but you do not hire." "No, I am not. I like my assistant right now and would like to keep him." "Why don't you like him again?" " he's such a playboy," she said, watching as he said something to Dani and she giggled "All right?" "Are you sure it is not your jealousy speaking?" "You did not have a huge crush on him." Her friend said so, smiling. "Believe me, it is not because of that." "I just do not like how he changes women every week; it sickens me." I never saw him like that." "He's hot anyway, so that's expected." "Of course, you would say That," Eva said with a scoff.
"You still have eyes for your assistant." Sure, let's agree that he's very sexy, but what about his personality? It's like he plays with their feelings or something." "You have never, in the 5 years of working with him, taken the liberty to get to know him, and you sort of hung out outside work; don't deny it for a few months after you started working for him.
" "You just decided to judge him on what you think you know and what the tabloids say about him just because he enjoys sex with women?" "Several women," Eva argued, "And so what?" "You also sleep around; what makes you any different from him?" "Why are you suddenly defending him?" Eva asked upset " I'm not defending him." "OK, fine, even if I agree with you on this, I still do not have to like him," Eva insisted, taking another drink. He sighed and sipped his drink, knowing the conversation was over. Hours later, Eva and her friend} were making their way back to the hotel. She was already so drunk, having been drinking anytime she caught sight of the boss with his conquest for the night, Dani. She hated feeling like this "Why are you so heavy?" Alex asked as she leaned her whole body weight on him, "Hey, don't be rude." Fortunately, the hotel was in the same building as the gala hall, so they did not have to travel far. " Eva", "Alexandra" They heard, and Eva groaned. "What does he want now?" Logan asked, and Alex replied with a greeting nod. "someone's drunk," Logan said and Eva could hear the humor in his voice Emily turned and saw Logan leaning against the wall "Why did you drink so much?" Logan asked. "Because they were free," Emily mumbled. "I see," Logan said with a teasing smile "Thank you for taking care of her. I'll take it from here." Emily moved closer to Alex because she did not want to be around him when she was drunk and horny. "I got her. "Do not be concerned," Alex replied. "Okay," Logan said with his lips in a thin line, well, goodnight." "Goodnight," Alex responded. "Fuck off!" Emily exclaimed. "Wow, you are drunk," Alex said, I'm not too drunk to consent to you fucking me into the mattress," Emily replied, "Perfect." He opened the hotel suite door, both of them a drunken, giggling mess. He pushed her onto the bed and climbed over her. "Zane would murder me if you ruined this dress; he was the one who helped get it." "Well, then, we would better get it off you right now," he said as he began kissing her neck. "Yes, please," she replied breathlessly. ⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝⨝ Emily felt a sharp slap on her ass as she woke up the next morning. she groaned and cursed her friend for waking her up like that "Get up," he said, spanking her once more. "dude. It is six o'clock in the morning." "I tried to wake you up normally, but you did not bulge." "You are very hard to wake up, do you know that?" "That's a lie," Emily defended herself, snuggling back into the covers and trying to go back to sleep when another sharp slap landed on her ass. "Alright! I'm up Stop spanking me." Alex laughed as she got up and went to the bathroom to have her bath. "I thought you liked me spanking you," he said. Not like this ass," she said, throwing a pillow at him. Well, you need to be ready in an hour. He said, There's breakfast downstairs and we need to check out. I'm sure your boss is waiting for you also. Alright, fine," she mumbled, grabbing her things and running into the bathroom. When she got out, she saw the room looking arranged and asked, Where are my things?" "your boss came by; he said he was going down a little earlier and he had to meet with an investor or something for a breakfast meeting so he decided to take your stuff down so it can be loaded into the car." "Oh," she said as they walked back into the bathroom and he put some toothpaste on her toothbrush for her. "that was awfully nice of him to do." "he's a nice guy, I told you this." She gave him a look. "a single act does not make a person a nice person," she said stubbornly, continuing to brush her teeth Alex sighed; he wouldn't argue with her for now. "I still don't understand why you dislike him so much.I've known him for way longer than you have; like I told you yesterday, he's not a bad guy." "I just can't like a guy who sleeps around with so many women. That's rich coming from you." "Who cares how many women he sleeps with? You would hate it if you were judged for how many men you've slept with, wouldn't you? "I guess not..." "exactly. So what is the real reason you don't like him?" "It is just that I have never been a big fan of him since I met him." "He's been nice to you since the first time you met him; you said so yourself, so what changed? He has not disrespected you, nor has he even been rude to you." "I mean, he is flirtatious but not crude. and he's very hot. Hot, sexy people flirt with each other, so what's the problem?" she pursed her lips and made to walk passed him "It's not that either," she mumbled. "It actually bothers me that you can dislike someone so much and not have a good reason for it. not to mention you never actually got to know him despite the amount of time you both spent together emily didn't respond to him as she was lost in thought She had convinced herself she dislked him for so long that she just assumed she had a very good reason for disliking him "I guess you are right. I cannot really judge him based on his sexual life." "Right," he replied, not looking at her, and made his way out. He was very upset with her way of thinking, and even though he and Logan were no longer close, he noticed Logan had a friend. "Alex," she sighed, "I am sorry," and crossed the room to him. "It is fine." "Can I tell you something about him? You know he is straight, right? he was the first person I told I was bisexual too, even knowing the kind of families we both come from I was terrified that he would judge me, but he did not and even now, with all that happened, he never told a soul He was the one who introduced zane to me, even though I have not made a move after all these years With a smile, Alex said, "He accepted this well, never judged me, and occasionally indulged me whenever I saw a hot guy nearby." "You know he was upset I didn't tell him sooner and I kept it to myself all those years." "Can you promise me you will at least give him a chance?" If we ignore all the flirting, he is not all that bad," he said, taking her hands in his. "I will try."
The rest of the work week went by quickly Friday rolled around and as the day was drawing to a close and Logan had already headed to a meeting with investors, heard my office phone ring and when I picked it up, it was Dani wanting to know what Logan's plans were and where he was Eva being petty hung up She heard her personal phone ping; it was Alex's assistant asking her out for drinks with some other of their acquaintances " Hey, I called because a bunch of the other assistants from mine and your company are getting together at the bar down the street after work and I just wanted to see if yo
u wanted to come." The text said, "That sounds great, but I kind of already promised my friend that we would hang out after work this evening," I said, thinking about my friend who I hadn't seen since college, the same one Logan played around with; she's happily married now and she wants to meet up "Bring your friend with you! It's a bar; how can you not have fun?" he replied. "Alright, I will see if she is up for it," Eva responded. "You do that. I will text you the address and count you both as in unless I hear otherwise," he replied. Ok, that sounds good," Eva answered Eva immediately called her friend, and she agreed to meet her there, and they would talk later when she heard there were going to be people there. The thought of drinking again tonight gave her a headache, but at least it's the weekend. "Holy shit, who is that?" Sophia Eva's friend whispered in her ear as they walked into the bar. She just grinned as Zane stood up and let them slide into the booth near him. He smiled and handed a beer to both of them as he stared at Sophia for a moment. "So, what's your name?" Zane smiled before taking a sip of his beer. "Sophia," she muttered, and Eva spoke "She's married, Zane; tone down the charms you are making her flustered." "Cute. I'm Zane," he giggled slightly. Sophia soon regains her composure. "I'm taken too." Zane winked. "Fuck me. He is insanely hot. And he's gay; how do you do it?" Sophia whispered, " you'll get used to it; he's always like that." Zane and Sophia got along very well and they all had a great time
