"Aren't you gonna ask?"　　"I asked already. It's your choice to give me answers whenever you're ready," she simply responded, then stood up to switch on the tv again. She didn't want the situation to turn awkward between them, so she felt switching on the tv would make it less awkward.　　"She was my first and only love," he started, and Autumn remained glued to the spot she was. She didn't know if to go ahead and switch on the tv or return to her seat or listen to him.　　"She was everything I wanted in a woman," he continued. "Every time I set my eyes on her, it was always a new feeling I felt. I fell in love with her every day."　　Autumn scoffed lightly, as she felt a pang of pain in her chest that left as quickly as it came.　　"Come and have your seat. Standing there will only make things weird," Perry said as he watched her standing, her back to him. Without saying anything, she turned around and returned to her seat.　　"Can I go on now?"　　"Yeah."　　"I met her a year before gradu

　　Autumn was the first to wake up the next morning. Turning on the bed, she opened one eye, before opening the other.　　She yawned and stretched as she sat up on the bed, laying down beside her was Perry, who had his back to her.　　It seemed like a Deja Vu, but this time, the guy next to her wasn't a random guy, but someone she knew so well.　　Instantly, the memories of last night went through her head and her eyes went wide open in shock.　　She sat on the bed as she loomed around the room. Only then did she notice that she was in his room and had slept there all through the night.　　"Oh my God," she gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. She stood up from the bed gently, careful enough not to wake him up from his deep sleep.　　She picked up her top on the floor and her shorts, then she dashed out of the room as quietly as possible, closing the door behind her.　　She hurried to her room to have her bath and freshen up before he woke up. When she was done, she went down to the kit

　　A couple of days later and they indeed started an actual relationship. They decided to take things slow, and see if it would work out. Gladly, it had been going well, and their relationship had grown stronger.　　Autumn managed to convince Perry to start having lunch in the company's cafeteria, especially with the fact that since the retreat, many of his workers now saw him in a new light.　　They didn't see him as their tyrant boss anymore, and he was also not as cold as he used to be. His sudden action to start eating in the cafeteria shocked everyone, but he knew better.　　Autumn typed the article Perry had sent to her on the phone before leaving for a meeting, on her desktop. She was so engrossed in it that she had no idea when her office door opened and someone walked in.　　The sound of the heels as it got clearer and clearer with each step the person took, made her attention divert from the desktop to the person.　　As she raised her head to see who it was, a frown crept on her fa

　　"If there's nothing more for you to say, you can use the door," he pointed to his door, then picked up a file on his table and began to go through it.　　"Hmm," Gloria said and smiled broadly. "I wonder how your wife would react when she hears about this."　　"About what?" He raised an eyebrow at her.　　"That you came to visit me at my office?" He chuckled lightly. "She'd be just fine with it. She's not as problematic and bitchy as you, you know?"　　She stared at him in confusion, unsure of why he used such words to describe her. "What the heck?"　　"I'm aware of how you crossed her in the bathroom at the ball and tried to turn her against me." He stared at her intently as he recalled every detail of what happened between her and Autumn in the bathroom that night, just as Autumn had explained to him.　　"Be careful what you say to my woman whenever you come across her if you don't want me to get rid of you," he threatened with a commanding voice.　　He expected Gloria to probably feel bad

　　"Gloria is pregnant," Perry blurted out. He expected Autumn to maybe flare up, burst into tears, or just do anything dramatic, but he got none of that. Instead, she sat there staring at him, her hands still in his.　　Autumn heard Perry quite well, but she didn't want to believe it just yet. After a few seconds and she was done processing the news, she suddenly chuckled.　　"Pregnant? So?" She chuckled again. "And how is that even your business?"　　"You know what I mean when I say she's pregnant, Autumn. Gloria is carrying my baby. She's pregnant!" He explained to her in detail.　　Autumn's smile faded immediately, and her face turned pale. She shook her head slowly, waiting for Perry to tell her it was a prank, or she was kidding.　　"Stop with the jokes, Perry. This isn't the time for that."　　Perry scoffed. "Does it look like I'm cracking jokes with you?"　　"So you're telling me that Gloria is truly pregnant? For you?"　　"Autumn—"　　"It's all good," she let go of his hands immediately
