Adriel sat unmoving, minutes after Allison had left. Her words echoing in his mind."I doubt you'll be able to understand, with your shallow mindset and all"She had called him shallow as well, a long time ago, yes she had, and it had cut him deeply. He had told himself that she was just looking for an excuse to leave but hearing Allison say the same thing, could she have been right?, Adriel wondered.As he sat there pondering on her words, Adriel soon began to drain glass after glass of alcohol. Soon he was quite tipsy and in no condition to go home on his own. The waiter, on seeing his state, decided to help and took out his phone. Using Adriel's thumbprint, he opened the phone and went straight to the call log. The recent and most called number was 'Miss Garcia' so the waiter tapped on it.Lola was at home that evening with her best friend Camille when her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at her screen and scrunched up her eyebrows in confusion. Why was Adriel calling her at this ti
Lola struggled with Adriel as they got into the elevator of the hotel. Lola was beginning to feel tipsy but she was still much better than Adriel was really drunk and as such was leaning his entire weight on her. The elevator bell dinged and they got out. They both wobbled along the corridor as Lola tried to look for the room number.As they wobbled along, Adriel's eyes fluttered open."Where are we? Did you take me home?", he asked her."No, we are in a hotel", Lola answered."Oh good, I don't want to go home", Adriel said softly before closing his eyes again.Lola understood what he meant. In such a state, she knew better than to take Adriel home, his parents would probably nag the hell out of him, which was why she brought him here."Ah", Lola breathed out a sigh of relief when she finally found the room number.Still struggling with Adriel leaning on her, Lola fumbled for the key and inserted it into the lock.She opened the door of the room and they both staggered inside. Trying h
Lola woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. Her eyes fluttered open and she glanced at her surroundings confusedly. This place didn't look like her bedroom, where was she? She glanced around the room until suddenly it hit her, she wasn't in her bedroom because she was in a hotel room. But why was she here in a hotel room? As Lola was trying to figure out exactly what was going on amidst the splitting headache, something or someone stirred on the bed next to her. Lola froze and turned to the other side of the bed slowly. To say that Lola was shocked would be an understatement when she saw her boss lying down naked next to her. She immediately shot up on the bed. She was too shocked to scream as she just sat there frozen. She tried her very best to remember what exactly had happened last night that had led up to this turn of events but the splitting headache wasn't making it easy.She remembered getting a call from a waiter at La Rousseau's to come pick her boss up. She re
Lola stared at Camille anxiously. Camille only sat in silence staring at her in utter disbelief."Camille?", Lola called out softly.Lola had just finished telling Camille everything she could remember about what had transpired last night between her and her boss. Camille had not said a word since she had finished recounting the events of last night and this made Lola extremely anxious. Camille wasn't a quiet person, she was quite the chatterbox but now Camille stared at her in complete silence."Camille?", Lola called out once again."Say something please, you're making me nervous", Lola pleaded."Huh?", Camille blinked."Sorry, I was just shocked", she stated."Wait, hold on, let me make sure I heard this right", Camille began."You mean to tell me, you had a one night stand with your boss?", Camille asked her, her eyes still blinking with disbelief.Lola nodded her head slowly,"Yes""Are you sure you guys had sex?", Camille asked finally after a long pause.Lola blinked confused a
Lola sighed again for the nth time."Is everything alright?", her boyfriend Chad asked her, looking at her with concern written all over his face."Yeah, yeah everything is fine", Lola answered."Are you sure? Because you have been sighing non stop since we got here", Chad pointed out."No, it's nothing. It's just the stress from work, you know", Lola told him."Why? Is your boss giving you trouble?", Chad asked her."No, no. Adr... Mr. Alvarez", Lola corrected herself."Mr. Alvarez is good", Lola assured him."Well if you insist. But I always said you work too hard. Relax from time to time, maybe even take a leave from work one of these days, we could do something together", Chad suggested."No, I don't think that is going to work. Mr. Alvarez needs me to coordinate most of his schedule, what would he do if I take a leave from work? Who would coordinate his schedule?'' Lola asked out of habit."So? I'm sure he will be able to manage just fine on his own for a few days", Chad answered.
"Dude!! You slept with your secretary?", Omar asked loudly."Shhh... Keep your voice down", Adriel shushed him."What happened to 'No mixing business with pleasure'? How could you sleep with your secretary?", Omar asked him."It was a mistake", Adriel answered."I was drunk. I thought she was....", Adriel began to explain but then stopped himself abruptly."What? You thought she was what?", Omar asked."Nothing, never mind. Just know it was not intentional", Adriel answered."Wow", Omar breathed."So you went out with Allison Tarmani, got rejected, got drunk, had a one night stand with your secretary, is that about right?", Omar asked him."Yeah", Adriel nodded."Woah, so what are you going to do?", Omar asked him."About Miss Garcia I mean, are you going to fire her?", Omar asked him."I don't know", Adriel answered truthfully."Miss Garcia has been working with me for a long time now. She is the most efficient secretary I have worked with who was also not trying hard to seduce me",
Adriel looked at his time on his watch, 9:10 am. Lola would be here soon, or would she? It had crossed Adriel's mind that Lola might decide not to come in to work today. Adriel prayed she would, he did not want to lose a personal secretary as efficient as Lola. There was a knock on his door. Adriel looked up sharply then looked at his watch, 9:15 am. Just on time, Adriel thought to himself."Come in", Adriel said and sure enough, Miss Garcia came into the office.She walked briskly towards him and for the first time, Adriel paid attention to her. He watched her as she walked towards him with slow yet steadied steps. He had never taken note of her legs before but today as she walked towards him, he did. Miss Garcia had fine, long legs, the skirt she was wearing did so much to accentuate that. He let his eyes roam a little bit upwards, her waist was slender like one of those models, her hips moderate, creating a little curve in her pencil skirt. His eyes roamed a little further up and
Adriel drove into the estate and pulled up in front of one of the houses. It was a very luxurious estate. He parked in the driveway of the house and got out of the car. He walked up the pavement of the house, towards the door. On reaching the door, Adriel punched in a string of numbers on the keypad and the keypad made a sound signifying that the door had been unlocked. Adriel opened the door and walked into the house."Omar?! Omar?!", Adriel called as he walked into the house.He walked into the living room and saw Omar entangled with a girl on the sofa. They were in each other's arms kissing and were both surprised by him.The girl quickly disentangled from Omar and moved a little bit away from him as she arranged her dress."Adriel, hey, why didn't you tell me you were coming over?", Omar asked as he regained his composure."Since when did I need to tell you I was coming over?", Adriel smirked at him.Omar chuckled.
