Chapter 1 Latrina Glover woke up to find herself in a stranger's bed . Still groggy , she looked around the unfamiliar room . Last night at the team dinner , she had a few too many drinks and then ... Her mind snapped clear . The man's low , muffled groans still echoed in her ears , haunting and inescapable . She forced herself to stop imagining the rest . She just wanted to get out of there - fast . She picked up a torn white shirt - completely unwearable - from the floor and tossed it aside with her other clothes . Then she noticed a new tailored business suit by the bed , clearly prepared by that man . She changed into it without hesitation , although it wasn't her usual style . After all , she had no other option . Glancing in the mirror , she found that her neck was untouched , yet bite mark patterned her skin elsewhere . " What a ' considerate ' man , " she thought . " Trying so hard to hide the fact that we've slept together . " Latrina let out a sigh , stepped out of the bathroom , and glanced around the room . It was a spacious suite - too clean , too empty , like no one lived there . It didn't feel like a hotel , yet it was eerily similar to one . She grabbed the bag by the bedside and walked out . Sure enough , this wasn't a hotel . Then a familiar man caught her eye . He was sitting on the couch , headphones on , a laptop resting on a pillow across his lap . Dressed in black loungewear , he looked relaxed and casual . Hearing the noise , he looked up , his deep eyes meeting hers . This man ... turned out to be her boss , Gerhart Crowley ! " Wasn't he renowned as an ascetic tycoon ? " But last night , he was wild - like he hadn't had sex in years . " Stunned , she was about to say something when Gerhart said , voice low and deep , " I'm in a meeting . " Latrina didn't dare to make a sound , understanding what he meant by that .. " Come eat breakfast . " He leaned forward slightly , nudging a glass of water across the table toward a plate of breakfast . He didn't notice that as he leaned , the hickeys on his neck were caught squarely on camera - right in front of his senior executives . Latrina's cheeks flushed with embarrassment . She knew those were her doing and was shocked by how aggressive she had been last night . She really wished this were a hotel so she could just walk out and go home . She sat down nervously , looking everywhere but at him . She sipped the water , like she was told , and bit into the sandwich identical to his . ' I have messed with the wrong man , " she thought . " Mr. Crowley's known for being aloof and emotionally distant , " I must've gotten into the wrong car last night . " But come on , how could he not - notice it was the wrong person ? " Sleeping with his employee - doesn't he care about his reputation ? " Fifteen minutes later , Gerhart ended the meeting , closed his laptop , and then casually started eating his breakfast . " Sorry . I didn't know it was your first time . Might've been a little rough , " he said . His tone was cold and flat , his face expressionless , like he was announcing decisions at a meeting . 13/09 WebNovel 4.3 FREE OPEN 0.5 % < Chapter 1 Latrina , who'd just managed to steady her nerves , coughed and blushed again . She thought , " What's done was done . No need to bring it up again ! " " The family doctor will be here soon . Wait a bit , " Gerhart continued . Only then did Latrina realize they hadn't used . protection last night . Menu She couldn't help but suspect he'd called the doctor in to give her a pill or something just in case she got any ideas about getting pregnant to go after his money . She finished the water and moved on to the milk , unsure what to say . He ate quickly and was done in no time . Then he said , " Wait here . I have to head to the office . Kelvin will take you home . " Latrina quickly stopped him . " Mr . Crowley , I can go back by myself . There's no need to trouble anyone ." " Are you blaming me for not being good enough last night ? " he asked , glancing up with a hint of grievance in his eyes . Excuse me ?! " Latrina blurted out . Somehow , her heart started to race . That was the last thing she'd ever dare to complain about . She was at a loss for words , completely thrown off by his question . For the first time , she couldn't come up with a comeback . If he weren't her boss , she would've already told him off . " Mr. Crowley , Dr. Buckley has arrived , " a middle - aged maid said at the doorway . Gerhart didn't respond , gazing at Latrina quietly . Latrina was gorgeous , with striking features , smooth skin , and glossy hair . Her figure was also flawless . She was the kind of girl any man would want to date . Under his gaze , she grew more and more uncomfortable . Her already flushed cheeks now burned , and her body tensed up . " Come with me , " Gerhart said , letting out a nearly inaudible sigh . She followed him without a word , cowed by the overwhelming presence of the man who ruled the fashion world . Back in the bedroom where everything had happened , she grew nervous again , even though the maid had cleaned it until it was spotless . And her palms began to sweat the moment her eyes landed on that bed . A female doctor walked in . Gerhart stepped out and closed the door behind him . Latrina assumed she'd be given morning - after pills or an injection . Instead , the doctor did a checkup and applied ointment down there . It was humiliating to have a stranger witness the aftermath of last night's passion . Still , the ointment helped a lot with the soreness . Latrina covered her face the entire time , mortified . By the time she came out , Gerhart was gone . Only Kelvin remained , waiting for her . He was the same age as her - twenty - two . They graduated from the same university , were interviewed on the same day , and even started work at the same time . The only difference was their roles . He was Gerhan's only assistant - and a good one at that . Standing by the car , Latrina saw him grinning behind the wheel and felt her pride crumble . 1365 N WebNovel OPEN 4.3 FREE 05 % Menu < Chapter 1 She got in , stared out the window , and mumbled , " Did I get in the wrong car last night ?

As soon as you got into Mr. Crowley's car , you hugged him , calling him ' Baymax , and started kissing him like crazy . You were wild ! 1 " He had a few drinks too , but he was frozen stiff . You know how he is total neat freak . And you ripped his shirt . Buttons flew everywhere .

So he brought you to his place , " Kelvin added . She forced a smile . " So , you and Mr. Crowley ... " Kelvin eyed her meaningfully . her meaningfully .
