Suddenly woke up, she didn't know when or how many minutes had passed as she fell asleep, she quickly got up and grabbed her phone. There were several missed calls from an unknown number, and ten messages. She thought that it must have been her step mother and decided to check it later. Scrolling up her contacts, she pressed the call button.
A few rings, the call got through, “Hello, what is it?” It was the friendly voice of a woman on the other line.
“Hi this is Barrett maám.” she called on the other manager in the store she’s wo

The darkness covered the sky and the full moon is the only light that passes through the window. Two breaths heavily panting and responding after each squelching sound. The bedsheet is all wrinkled and the clothes are either tattered or lying on the floor and the chair. “Euhkk!” It was a weird moan coming from her as she felt her contracting insides being slammed hard and reaching to her limit. “Ah, you like it hard right? “ He smirked as he watched her face blushed and her mouth agape wide open for the pleasure of being rammed inside. With this, he grabbed both of her ankles and raised her legs to his shoulder. “W-wait! This position!” She protested however, it was futile as she was vulnerable with her legs open wide and her lower body raised.

She had her hair tied in a clean ponytail, to touch up her appearance she decided to put on some face powder and colored her lips with her only lipgloss on the pouch. She grabbed her portfolio and went downstairs, her heart thumping not because she was nervous at the scheduled interview, it was more because of the man waiting for her. The air that surrounds him looks much more different, as she inches closer to him who is leaning at his car. “Oh, Adelaide.” he smiled and that made her heart flutter.

“Achoooo!” The current situation for him was quite difficult, he has been sneezing ever since the applicant named Barrett Adelaide entered the interview room. Is it his karma for teasing his boss earlier? “I’m sorry for this disgraceful act Miss Adelaide, but do you happen to own a dog?” he asked her, with a confused mind she replied, “No Sir, I don’t have any.” It was his only allergy in the human world, he thought that he would be friends with the man’s best friend, the cute little creature, however the fur makes him allergic so that he can’t even pat its head. “It was my only allergy that even the smell makes me sneeze.” He said, with these remarks he saw that her face grimaced, he covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief to at least lessen the sneezing. “Do you mean I smell like a dog Sir?” it was clearly shown the offense on her face, that later on

It was just his feet that brought him to the front of the store. Since it was a bit late when he got off in front of the office, he expected that the store was about to close. “What coffee would you like Sir?” He was greeted by the last staff remaining in the cafe. “None, you may continue closing. I was just actually looking around.” he smiled at the young man who was brightly looking at him. “No I can’t my lord! I mean--- ugh sir?” he paused for the slip of the tongue. “I

She was so flustered for being neglected. “I think you were exhausted from the events tonight so I let you rest.” How can he be so considerate of her was on Barrett’s mind. “I’m sorry, did I sleep long?” She looked out the window and saw that they had already arrived in front of her apartment, with this she felt more apologetic about sleeping. “It’s fine, we just arrived a minute ago.”
