Autumn touched her cheek as she remained on the spot staring at the lady who had just slapped her.　　It came as a shock to her because she had not expected it. Still trying to process everything that was happening, the lady had begun to rant once again.　　"You have no idea how rude you are!" She yelled at her. "Do you even know who I am?"　　Autumn scoffed as she dropped her hand from her face.　　"If you were someone important, you wouldn't be this bothered about other people. Instead, other people would be bothered about you. But look at you," she pointed at her, giving her a scornful look.　　"I won't go down this lane with you though, you don't deserve my time."　　This only angered the lady even more. She didn't have any comebacks, and it pissed her off. As she fumed with anger, she couldn't control herself anymore, so she raised her hand to lash Autumn another slap.　　Fortunately for Autumn, Jax was nearby, and he had already seen it coming.?　　As she raised her hand the second tim

　　The hall was filled with murmurs immediately, as the lady began to beg Perry, not minding that she was in the presence of everyone.　　"I want your desk cleared by the end of the day," Perry replied to her, ignoring her pleas.　　"Also, get ready to become a liability, because I'm going to make sure you never get a job in any other company. You know what that means?" He asked her and she nodded amidst her pleas.　　"Good, you're blacklisted."　　He then turned to the audience. "I believe you all witnessed this?"　　"Yes, boss!" They chorused.　　"Good. That's the tip of the iceberg. The next time anyone dares assault or harasses anyone in the vicinity of this company, he or she would be dealt with accordingly. This doesn't apply to my secretary alone, but all workers, including the security men, cleaners, and of course, the juniors. Is that understood?"　　"Yes, boss!"　　"The meeting is hereby dismissed!" He said as he walked to the exit.　　The lady, however, didn't give up. She ran after h

　　"What are you doing?" He asked her and she jumped. She had no idea he had entered the office.　　"Oh my God!" She exclaimed, placing her hand on her chest due to the shock. "How long have you been here?" She asked him.　　"Long enough to see you pacing around like someone whose landlord is gonna chase her out soon and she has no money to pay him," he replied as he walked into the office and closed the door. He walked to her seat and sat on the chair opposite hers.　　Still standing in the same spot she was before, she replied to him. "That was quite specific."　　He shrugged. "What were you doing?"　　"Nothing!" She replied curtly. "I was doing nothing." Then, she changed the topic immediately.　　"So, what about your friend, has he left? You accompanied him to the parking lot, didn't you? Why didn't you—"　　"Autumn," he cut in, knowing fully well that she was hiding something.　　"Yeah?" She replied, her hands sweaty due to the nervousness.　　"Stop with the unnecessary questions and tell m

　　While their night out was ongoing, a lady in the group noticed Autumn's ring and admired it, making everyone notice it and admire it too. Some of them asked her when she got married, and she was forced to lie that she's been married for six months.　　Soon, drinks started flowing and their lips loosen, they started to share stories about themselves and gossipped about their colleagues, but Autumn made sure not to let anything slip out about Perry.　　Their happy hours ended much later than usual, and most, if not all of them were quite tipsy. A number of them offered to drive Autumn home but she refused, saying she'd call her husband.　　Olive, Jax, and Lisa offered to wait with her until her husband came, but she refused and they left not quite long after.　　When she was sure that every single one of them had left, she walked outside the bar and decided to call Perry.　　She almost already knew what his reply was going to be to her request, but she decided to try her luck. She dialed hi

　　Perry lifted his hand toward her mouth and ran his thumb across her lower lip. She stared at his eyes as they fixated on her mouth.　　Unconsciously she ran her tongue across her lips. Inhaling in a quick shuddering breath, his eyes whipped up towards her own.　　Agonizingly long seconds ticked by as she drowned in his stare. A spark of fire in his eyes was the only warning before his hand reached into her hair to firmly grasp her scalp and dragged her mouth to meet his own.　　As his right hand held her head firmly in place, his left hand lifted to her left cheek in a caress. Softly kissing her closed mouth, Perry ran his tongue across the seam of her lips asking permission for entry.　　Running her hands against his chest she felt the racing of his heart. Opening to his questing tongue she released a sigh of defeated submission.　　Shivers racked her body as her pussy gushed expectantly, readying herself for his command of her body.　　Leaning back into the couch, he pulled her toward hi
