My girls are chanting words of confidence in my ears all the way to the club.There is a long line of people waiting to get into the club but we immediately go to the front since Hana got us three ticket invites which gets us in without hesitation.The club is huge and packed with people drinking and making acquain

I'm admiring the view of the city from his beautiful living room when he returns with our drinks and invites me to join him.I'm sure the other rooms of this pent house are as beautiful as the living room. Dai was dressed casually today with a leather jacket, t-shirt, some tight fitting jeans and a biker boots. gosh! he looks so good.I just noticed he had removed the jacket and was just in the t-shirt which left my brain with a thousand imaginations. I should not be thinking about my boss sexually.I take in the beauty of his home while we sip our drinks and talk. "Abe the owner of Midnight is the bestfriend you told me about right?" I ask him"Yes he's the one, I'm guessing you discovered from Hana but I'm not very close with Hana's older brother like Abe is."

My first instinct is to turn to the other side of the bed which I find empty.Looking at the electronic wall clock in my room I see that it's 7:30am but still no sign of Lia, even her clothes aren't in the room. I move to the bathroom to check if She's in there but nothing.Throwing on a robe I rush towards the living room in search of Lia but no trance of her, and it dawns on me that she left without leaving even a note. She might be overwhelmed with what happened between us the previous night but it was the most amazing experience of my life.I take my phone From the centre table in the living room and dial her number, it rings four times and goes straight to voicemail. I call five more times but it still goes to voicemail. She's avoiding my calls. I'll give her time to process what happened and we'll talk better on Monday.My day g

Dai's POVLia really got me back to my senses, I was almost getting weak to a woman who works for me. I've never been affected by a female employee like I've been with Lia. Not even my slutty secretary was able to get in my bed.Lia almost made me believe in things that didn't matter to me in the past, all the zodiac connection and fate which devoted lovers believe in. I almost begged her but was taken aback when she said Saturday night was only a mistake.I can't believe I almost fell for that woman. I had to leave the office because I felt suffocated with all that Lia said.

I am at the office when an idea pops in my mind to call HR and find out about Lia's holiday leave.
