It's seven in the evening, and he's still inside his office, working. Everyone in the building already left at five.

Frustrated by hunger and irritation, I put my head down on the desk. I don't think he will notice or even remember me if I go home without telling him.
He didn't even come out once to check if I am here or if I left.

Why did the owner of such a big company ask me if I am free after work or not? I have no doubt that he has a lot of girls throwing themselves at him.
He is the most attractive man I have ever seen in my life, despite looking the scariest at the same time.

"You seem hungry," a voice rang in my ears just when I was lost in my thoughts. It's him, yes, who else could it be? There's no one in the building other than the two of us.

"A little," I replied, pulling my head back from the desk before taking care of my messy hair.

"Sorry for making you wait. I had some work to finish," he said, looking at me. I didn't look at him, but I can feel his gaze on me.

"It's fine, Vih... Sir," I said, looking into his eyes. He looks calm this time.

"Come," he said and stepped towards the lift, and I followed him

"Come," he said and stepped towards the lift, and I followed him.

I entered the lift, and it closed. All I could hear is his slow breath, and I'm sure he can hear how heavily I am breathing for no reason at all.

"You lost something," he said without looking at me.

I checked for my phone and everything else I had in my handbag. Everything is there. I don't know what he is talking about. Maybe the earrings again.

"I told you I tried finding..." he cut me off before I could finish and spoke.

"Your bindi."

I touched my forehead region, and yes, he's right. I searched my handbag and found the packet of it. Turning around, looking into the lift's mirror, I put it on.
