CEO Office — Morning
The morning light poured through the tall glass windows of Manoban enterprises top floor, casting a golden glow across the sleek black marble floors. The office was silent, except for the rhythmic clicking of Jennie’s heels as she entered, holding Lalisa’s morning coffee — precisely the way she liked it, black, no sugar.
Jennie
“Good morning, Ms. Manoban,” *Jennie said softly, placing the cup on Lisa’s desk.*
Lisa didn’t look up immediately. She sat in her high-backed leather chair, her sharp jawline resting against her knuckles as her cold eyes slowly traveled up Jennie’s figure. That tailored pencil skirt. That delicate blouse tucked in so perfectly. And that shy, innocent smile.
Lisa
“You’re late, Jennie.” *Her tone was calm, but there was a dangerous edge in it.*
Jennie
“I—I’m sorry, the elevator—”
Lisa
No excuses,You should know by now, you’re not allowed to make me wait.
Jennie bit her lip, looking down, flustered. That small act of submission made Lalisa’s control snap.
In two strides, Lalisa was in front of her, tilting Jennie’s chin up with two fingers.
Lisa
Look at me when I’m talking to you, Jennie.
Jennie bit her lip, looking down, flustered.
That small act of submission made Lalisa’s control snap.
In two strides, Lalisa was in front of her, tilting Jennie’s chin up with two fingers.
Lisa
Look at me when I’m talking to you, Jennie.
Jennie
“It won’t happen again..
Lisa
“I know it won’t. Because you know how much I hate waiting for you.
Jennie’s breath caught.
The words sounded innocent, but the way Lisa said them… like a threat wrapped in velvet.
“
Lisa
Sit.. *Lisa ordered, motioning to the chair across from her*
Lisa
“You’ve been avoiding me, Jennie.”
Jennie
“I’ve been busy with work, Miss Manoban.”
Lisa
“Lying doesn’t suit you.”
Jennie
You’re my boss, Miss Manoban. I’m just… keeping things professional.
Lisa stood up, slowly circling the desk until she was standing behind Jennie. Her fingers brushed Jennie’s shoulder, feather-light, yet Jennie’s entire body tensed.
Lisa
I don’t want your professionalism, Jennie,i want your truth.
Lisa
“That you feel it too. This tension. This pulls between us. You think I don’t notice the way you breathe differently when I’m near?”
Jennie
“I should get back to work.”
Lisa
“Run, if you want, Jennie. But remember, you’re still in my building. And in here—”
Lisa tapped her own chest, right where her heart would be..
Lisa
you’ve been mine since the first day you walked in.”
Jennie’s steps faltered as she reached for the door.
Lisa
Good girl. Now get back to work.
( Lisa’s voice was smooth, victorious.)
As Jennie left, her cheeks burning, Lisa’s smirk deepened.
This was just the beginning guyssss
