I passed the NIGHT with a stranger I met during my seaside getaway. Upon heading back to the office, I STIFFENED in shock upon spotting at work….

— That’s it, I’m full. David got up from the table and went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, Olivia was standing by the window.

He approached and simply kissed her on her sweet, watermelon-scented lips. — Why not? Vacation is vacation! — she thought, not pushing away, enjoying the moment and the pleasant kiss. He pulled away from her lips and looked straight and questioningly into her eyes.

— Stay! — Olivia said simply. The days flew by swiftly. She called home.

Her mom, from the joyful happy voice of her daughter, understood that Olivia had a romance. She was glad but worried. Wouldn’t she get into trouble again.

Olivia returned to New York, tanned and a bit sad. When Nick fell asleep, in the kitchen without details, she told her mom about the vacation. — Everything’s fine, Mom.

Rested. Yes, met someone. But we’ll each go our own way.

Her mom covered her daughter’s hand with her wrinkled one. — Why? All men make promises and never keep them. Don’t you know that? — Olivia shrugged.

She went back to work and was glad about it. So much piled up that no time for memories. One day the department head gathered the whole team and introduced his successor.

He himself got a promotion. Olivia immediately recognized David in him. Her heart started pounding a tap dance in her chest.

She felt hot. Her cheeks flushed with a betraying blush. She tried to hide behind her colleagues’ backs….

Soon all employees were sent back to their workplaces. Olivia couldn’t wait to leave the office, but no pushing to attract attention. — I want to recommend Olivia Johnson to you.

Experienced and knowledgeable specialist. Already at the door, the boss’s voice caught her. Olivia froze, then resignedly returned to the desk.

David raised an eyebrow in surprise, showing nothing else that they knew each other. — He’s my boss. What a mess…
