Lana

I was lounging in my sofa in my matching pyjamas shirt and shirt and with a bowl of popcorn watching a kdrama called "Law Cafe" on Netflix

I was a huge fan of Korean dramas and so whenever I had time to myself, and no work to do in the evenings... I just lay on my couch enjoying my alone time with kdramas and I was doing just that when my phone rang

Immediately I saw Mr Romeo on the caller ID I picked up thinking it could be some work emergency

"Hey Lana, I'm so sorry to disturb your night but I really need you to come pick up Atlas... we went out drinking and he got himself drunk, I would have taken him home but I just remembered that I still need to go to the office" he begged

I guess I was wrong about the work emergency

"That's fine Mr Romeo, could you please just send me the address?" I asked

"Yea.. I will send it to you. I will be waiting for you to pick him up before I leave. Thank you Lana" he said

I nodded even though I knew he couldn't see me.. "it's alright" I said and ended the call

This was the first time I was receiving such call.. Atlas never gets drunk on a work night and I have only ever seen him drunk once after he had hit a very big deal about two years ago

I quickly grabbed my car keys and left my apartment

Once I located the bar, I got out of the car to realize I had changed out of my sleeping clothes

Luckily the short stopped close to my knees.. I sighed and began to walk down the lane to the entrance and found Mr Romeo and Mr Knight standing at the entrance

Well Cameron was the one doing the standing while Atlas leaned on him

Once I was in sight, Cameron smiled at me

"Thank you so much Lana" he said, immediately Atlas heard my name, he opened his eyes to and looked at me

Then he suddenly smiled at me "Lana!" He called out happily stumbling over to me and grabbed me by the shoulder as he looked down at me smiling

I was so surprised..

Have I ever mention how tall Atlas was? At 6'8 inches he was a fucking giant compared to my 5'3inches.. so I knew how comical we must look standing like this

Cameron immediately took him of me with an apologetic smile, "I will help take him to the car" he offered and I smiled back in gratitude

Once he was completely settled in the car, Cameron turned to me, " once again I'm so sorry" he apologized

I shook my head

"It's fine..what about his car?" I asked knowing that he had mostly brought it with him

"Don't worry, I will sort it out.." he assured me..so I nodded and with a quick wave, I drove out of the parking lot and headed to Atlas's mansion

Yup.. you read right.
A mansion.

The first I saw it I was equally surprised and what was more surprising was that he lived there alone..well except for Mrs smith, his housekeeper who came by thrice a week to keep the place clean

Once we got to his house, I noticed he had fallen asleep. I sighed, I guess I'm gonna be breaking my back in order to get him inside

I got to the passenger seat and tried waking him up

"Mr Knight, please I'm gonna need you to wake up so you can get inside." I said and his eyes opened looking at me confused

"Lana?" He called out like he couldn't believe I was here

"Yes Mr Knight.. can you get out please?" I asked softly

Offering my hand, we both stumbled. Me trying to help his dead weight out and him still drunk

After much stumbling from both of us, I could finally get him to the closest sofa where he laid down willingly.

I huffed and puffed, feeling like I just carried a whole house. Fuck him for being so fit and heavy

I quick ran up to his room and got him a blanket. Once I was satisfied he would be warm through the night, I got up to leave when I heard him call out my name

Turning back to face him, I found that he was still asleep.. was he sleep talking?

He called out my name again softly "Lana.. don't leave me" he said

I was shocked.. I guess the news of my resignation had really affected me.. maybe I wasn't wrong when I thought that we had formed a kind of friendship

I leaned back down to really look at him.. he had grown to be such a good looking man.. not like he wasn't good looking before but adulthood fit him very much

I raised my hands and slightly caressed his soft cheek that had some stubbles... maybe he really needed me, maybe I should stay back a few more years since my leaving affected him like this

Me moved to get more comfortable and that shook me out of my trance

What the fuck Lana.. what the hell were you just doing. For God's sake he's your boss

I quickly stood up and with once last glance at him, I left

No I needed to leave.. assistant's don't worry about their bosses the was I was doing

Maybe Atlas hadn't been the only one who had grown attached
