Mia woke up in a cold sweat, body heaving as she gasped out into the still room. Her fingers were trembling as they clutched onto the sheets desperately. It was such a stupid dream. She thought, squeezing her eyes shut, breathing in shakily and then out. In and out. In and out.
When her breath evened out, she slowly laid on the other side of her body. Her head throbbed excruciatingly: another migraine. Mia slid out of bed and onto the floor, the hardwood cool beneath her bare feet. Rubbing her temples, she slumped in place, body swaying from dizziness.
Her stomach twisted uncomfortably as she took a quick peek at the bedside clock. It's still five in the morning, the dim light from sunrise shining in from the open window and casting a low glow over her tangled sheets. She had an hour before getting out of bed, so Mia laid back, closing her eyes and thinking abo
"Good morning, sir," Mia said sweetly, biting on her tongue. If anything she wanted to yell at him at the way he handled the conversation the previous day. What was she expecting from someone like him? Of course, he was not going to tell his mother about their dirty secret. That shouldn't have bothered her in the least.After that heated conversation, she left his office, not ready to take more of him. No pun intended. Damon didn't need to see the rage she felt and the tears forming in her eyes. It's not like he promised her or anything. They didn't even talk about it, so he had no obligation to do anything about the date.Maybe it will be a nice change for her, after all. Mrs Rossi had an excellent taste judging her husband, of course. But also Mrs Rossi loved Damon, so it's going to be difficult to tell. Whatever. Mia can do it. Her friends have been bugging her for the same thing, so it's a win-win situation.Damon ra
/HIS POV/"Damon!" A loud voice echoed around the living hall and before he knew someone was pulling him in a hug. The CEO cringed at the sudden gestured, not used to the touch and took a step back. He noticed Mia's amused smile."Wow, you're tall! Its been so long since we met!" The guy let out an obnoxious laugher, his perfect white teeth on display.Jake. His mother's friends son. His dirty blonde hair was slicked back, few loose strands falling on his forehead. He had a pointed nose and stormy grey eyes, almost dark under the lighting in the living room. Some would say he's handsome.Damon cleared his throat. "Yeah...Too long""How are you?"Jake shrugged. "I'm doing great man! Have my own little business. Things are going very well. Not like you, of course. I saw your photo in several magazines, so I think it is also
Mia gasped as the knock reverberated through the walls, the sharp sound echoing in her ears. In horror, she stared at Damon whose lips twitched but other than that he was calm. Did sex make men that stupid? She pushed him away and stumbled for the door when the sound intensified."Yeah?" She whispered, her voice thick. "Give me a minute."The realisation sunk in. Whoever was on the other side of the door could easily see her so dishevelled and so out of it and figure out. It wouldn't take a rocket genius. But still, she tried to sell it. Ducking away, Mia rushed to the washbasin and splashed cold water on her face, averting her eyes from the mirror in an effort to avoid seeing her red, swollen lips and glassy eyes along with that shameless glow etched across her face. Mia screwed her eyes closed, splashing cold water over her sweaty skin, exhaling roughly. She was aware of his heavy stare on her.For a second, Mia just s
Mia's head was hurting. She wanted to drown herself in alcohol, a whole bottle all to herself, and she also wanted her boss. All to herself.Since she's tired of holding her body upright in the couch, the assistant slid out of the chair and stretched out on the bed, the soft mattress underneath instantly making her eyes roll back. Her eyes were also so very tired, dropping as she kept staring at the door.That's how Jane found her, alone and small curled up in her bed.For a moment, her best friend just stared at her, the distant light from inside casting only one half of her face in brightness. Then she dropped down on the bed beside Mia, crossing her legs. She's quiet, waiting, and when the silence got too much, her best friend poked her. "Have you been laying in your bed all morning?"Why does that matter?"Maybe""I'll take that as a yes then""Last night was horrib
When Mia got a call from her mother that she's in New York, her body sagged in relief. She couldn't have asked for her arrival at a better time. They managed to settle for a quick lunch as her mother was only staying for a day. After lunch, she had to meet another friend of hers.Precisely at one in the afternoon, Mia abruptly stood in the restaurant's doorway, staring wordlessly at the person in front of her. The sight sent a jolt of sadness through her. Her boss was sitting with a woman, not just any woman, the same one he was papped with.Before she knew it, her eyes stung. The assistant tried to hold onto the sob, threatening to break down any time. Her body hunched over as she gripped the doorframe to prevent from tipping over completely. Tremors wracked her fragile limbs, lungs seeming to shrink with every fluttery breath. This wasn't the first time Damon made her want to scream her lungs out. From time to time, she gave him that kind of
/HIS POV/Damon stared at his phone, impatience crawling in his chest. His assistant was supposed to be with him half an hour ago. They were invited to one of the parties in the exclusive club. When he called Mia ten minutes ago, she told him that she's on the way."Damon Rossi?" A loud voice shrieked behind him. He didn't have to turn around to know who that belonged to. A few seconds later, Lily stood in front of him with a massive grin on her face.He raised his brow. "What are you doing here?""Why? Not happy to see me?" His friend teased him, wriggling her brows."Don't start now. I'm serious."Lily plopped on the chair opposite him, crossing her legs together. Her face gleamed under the bright disco balls and the neon lights. The CEO couldn't help but notice her leaning on the bar while attention focused on him. "Brian owns this bar.""Your boyfrie
The next morning Mia found her shimmery body-con dress by the couch. Hanging by the side. She blearyly blinked her eyes open and looked around before realising that she's in an unknown place. It took her full ten seconds to realise that its Damon's room. Her boss was still sleeping beside when her phone started ringing. She quickly slipped on her dress, grabbed her phone and slipped out the door.Last night was blurry of events. The only thing she remembered was giving her boss a blowjob in the tiny stall. What happened after that? Maybe she should ask him that.The phone started ringing again. She shot one last regretful look at her boss before quickly putting distance between them.On her way outside, she answered the phone."Hello, mom.""You sound like you've just woken up."As if to confirm, her mouth stretched with a yawn. "I have."Her mother sighed
As soon as they were done with breakfast, Damon dropped her back to her place. Mia went inside, picked her mail and changed into work clothes. She didn't have enough time to open the package, so the assistant thought of opening it later.Back in the office, everyone's busy with their thing, so she slid into her desk quickly. Mia had lunchtime with Jane to discuss what happened the previous night. As she was arranging and marking the emails to top priority to least significant, there's a knock on the door."Hey, Mia! How's the day going?" Kelly asked.She's one of the employees. They only interacted during gatherings, so the assistant offered her a polite smile. "Can't complain. Do you need anything?""Yeah. I have an important meeting today so can you help me with something?""Sure!""Great! Thank you so much. Can you go through this repor
