I was tongue-tied when my boss appeared in front of my door. I felt like my legs turned to jelly and my forehead began to sweat as he walked inside."Sir, what are--you doing--here? It's late." My lips quivered as I smelled the scents of whiskey on his white t-shirt.
He's too tall for me and when he came closer, I can't be seen anymore.

"Sir! Wait!", I exclaimed when we both stumbled on the floor.

I turned around but he quickly cupped my cheeks, making me face him.
