Beauty stared at the floor, her eyes welling up with tears she had tried so hard to hold back. She bit her lip nervously, trying to suppress her emotions.Unfortunately, her emotions are now like a tangled mess, and she felt like she was about to break."Talk to me," Jessie said, her tone softer now. "What's going on? What did I do?"Beauty took a shaky breath, and finally, unable to contain it any longer, the dam broke. "I... I am sorry Jessie, it's just ... . I am shamelessly jealous of you. That he liked you back, I am sorry. I shouldn't feel that way. He is never mine...not like it could ever be possible. You are beautiful and all that, and I am not a competition" she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.Jessie was speechless, her expression softened instantly. She had been expecting drama, of course but didn't expect her to be this hurt.Beauty wiped her eyes, sniffling as she continued. "When you called last night and excitedly told me that Bruno called you and you guy

Her palms were sweaty, and her heart raced as Bruno's eyes stayed locked on her, as if waiting for her to approach.She swallowed hard, feeling the eyes of every coworker on her. Jessie nudged her forward, whispering, "Go on. He's waiting for you.""What if he fires me?" Beauty whispered back, her voice trembling.Jessie shrugged but gave a reassuring smile."I doubt that. He's sitting at your desk, remember? I think he's here for something else. If it's to fire you. He would have invited you to his office".Jessie whispered back.Beauty's feet felt heavy as she tried to lift them off the ground. Jessie's Apple Watch beeped."Oops, time for my schedule".She told Beauty. "Meet you at lunch break, good luck, tell me all about it".Beauty nodded slowly, but her heart still raced at the intensity of Bruno's gaze."Hey! Mr. Bruno, nice haircut. You look damn hot with that expression on your face! Who got you mad with our reserved young boss?"Jessie announced, swinging her hip like she

She looked down and bit her lip, her chest tightening. Bruno saw her nervous fingers fiddling the hem of her blouse.*This is not right! I have no right whatsoever to demand her attention. What am I doing? Asking such questions. Dragging her like that In Front of everyone? I didn't consider how she feels too.*"I apologize". His voice came softly.Beauty looked up at him confused."You may go back to work".He said settling down on his chair.Beauty had questions, but she is better off without the answers.*********During lunch break, Beauty made her way to the expensive café where she and Jessie usually met.Her mind was still buzzing from her earlier thoughts about Bruno. What was that question he asked? If he did something wrong?*I can't believe I made him feel bad, why should someone like Bruno care about what I think of him anyway?*She stepped inside, scanning the room until she spotted Jessie sitting at their usual table by the window, already halfway through her dri

Jessie grinned, completely unbothered by Beauty's reaction."Hear me out. Bruno's a good guy, right? He's got class, he's charming and very hot. Girl, just imagine pulling up with the hottest guy at the reunion, that sponsor, whatever her name is...""Beyoncé?""Yeah. She will be shocked and put to her place. He is a green flag that will treat you like a lady without making you feel inferior. Plus he wouldn't go around blabbing to anyone. I mean Bruno hardly talks to people anyway, so your secret is safe".Beauty set her fork down, shaking her head. "Jessie, it's impossible. Sir Bruno? Pretend to be my boyfriend? For two days? No way. That's ridiculous."Jessie shrugged, leaning back in her chair."Why not? He's not seeing anyone, and it's not like you're asking him to marry you. Just a couple of days. Besides, didn't he just pull you into his office like some jealous boyfriend today?""Jessie!"Beauty snapped."What? That's what it looked like".Beauty's heart skipped a beat at the

Later that evening, almost closing time.Beauty was at her desk, the glow of the computer screen illuminating her face. She can't stop overthinking about how she would go about asking Bruno to accompany her to the high school reunion. Every time she imagined what his response would be, her pulse raced uncontrollably. Frustrated, she rested her head on the desk, trying to get rid of it all. "Can't wait to go home. Somehow, I had successfully managed to avoid breaking down because of Kathy and her sidekicks harsh insults back then in the restroom".She groaned inwardly.Slowing, her eyes move over to her computer screen."Finally...it's almost time to...go home".She smiled at herself.Just then, someone dropped a folder on her desk.Annoyed by the late work submit, she slowly looks up ready to eat him or her alive, but the person is not a prey for her.He was, in fact, a predator!Her heart reaped as soon their eyes met, her cheeks flustered with embarrassment."Sir.... Sir... Bruno
