Sawyer's POV:
That day, I left work earlier to go home. I was tired and wasn't feeling quite well. I'd left a message to my mom for her permission because when I'd gone to see her, she was out for lunch.
I'd looked for Ace to invite him over but apparently he'd gone with the other colleagues to the pizza house.
At around three PM, while I watched TV at home, my mother suddenly appeared.
"Hey, honey." she said happily. She seemed to be in a very good mood. Awkward. I looked at her in wonder.
"Why are you so happy?" I asked.
She looked at me with a broad smile.
"You think I'm happy?"
"Hello?? It's clearly all over your face." I laughed.
"Well, let's just say I'm in a good mood. Where's Heather?"
I frowned.
"She's with that Shirley again." I said, hurt. " Sometimes I feel like she prefers to hang out with Shirley than me."
"Maybe she has her reasons."
"I'm her sister!"
"And I'm her mother but do you see how she behaves with me? I don't know what has happened to your sister. I really don't. She's changed a lot."
"She's still angry with you because of that shit that happened." I folded my arms. Mom scoffed.
"That stupid boy that got missing? Why can't she understand that the past is the past??"
"Ask her."
Mom shook her head.
"She has to put it in mind that that little nuisance was dead!"
"I told her same mom."
"Pft. You know what, let's just forget this. I don't wanna talk about it. I'm in a too good mood to risk spoiling it."
"Why are you home so early?"
"I forgot something. I got your message. Are you better now?" she asked.
"Yeah."
"Okay, but get some rest. I'll return to the office."
"Okay."

Christina's POV:
I returned to the office.
Throughout the rest of the day, I wasn't really focused on my work. I kept on thinking of how sexy my new secretary was. I laughed to myself.
"Aah, Christina, Christina, christina. You'll never change." I laughed.
He'd had a strong effect on me after that lunch break. I now saw him differently. I hope he would remain the way he was at the moment, instead of being rude and unfriendly like he was the first week.
Time flew by and soon it was nine PM. Time to go home. I packed my stuff and got ready to leave.
I left the office and took an elevator. As it was about to close, someone stopped its doors from closing completely. It was Ace. Just who I was thinking about.
He got in with me.
"Hey, boss." he smiled.
"Hey."
He stood close to me and we waited patiently for the elevator to reach the first floor.
There was silence apart from the low elevator music playing.
I looked at him and smiled a little. He smiled back.
We left the elevator and headed for the parking lot together. My car was closer than his and so I stopped by it.
"That's your car?" he asked.
"Yeah." I smiled at him.
"Nice."
"Thank you, Ace."
"Well, goodnight Christina." he said coolly, pocketing his hands.
"Goodnight, Ace." I smiled and entered my car before starting it and heading home.

Ace's POV:
So far, my first day was a successful one. Like I'd said, Christina was going to be very easy to get. Now for the next day, I had to concentrate more on Sawyer. And I hoped it would be just as easy.

Sawyer's POV:
The next day I was strong enough to go to work. I wasn't quite in my mood. I was pissed off. Heather had decided to spend her free month of suspension at Shirley's place. I could be a pain in the ass at times but I loved my sister. I wanted her be close to me as much as she was close to Shirley. I wanted her to love and care for me as much as she'd cared for that lame stable boy in the past. Till today she still thought of him. Somewhere inside of me I was happy he'd died. Honestly. Call me heartless if you want.
I got dressed and left the house. I got into my car and headed for the office. I hoped a little bit of work would make me forget.
I reached the company and went straight to my office, ignoring anyone who greeted me. I wasn't in my mood.
I sat in my office and began working on my computer. I was kind of bored working in that company. I thought of quitting and getting a modeling job like Heather. I was just as fit and tall as she was. I would be perfect. She had no problems. Even if she got fired from PW, she still had her modeling career on the side, that was why she never bothered coming to work early or doing things right. According to her, she didn't want to waste money that didn't belong to her and preferred to work elsewhere to gain her own money. Yeah, right.
After about an hour, there was a knock at my door.
"Come in!"
The door opened And Kevin, Heather's boyfriend came in.
"Hey." he said with a smile.
"Hey" I smiled back.
"Heather is still suspended?"
"Yeah."
"It's been a whole week now that I haven't received a call from her neither have I seen her."
"Is that a bad thing?" I teased. He looked at me and smirked.
"No. Come here." he came towards me. I smiled and stood up. He wrapped me tight in his arms and we kissed.
I moaned against his lips. He was such a good kisser.
Yes, I knew we were both cheating on Heather. So what? She didn't really treat him right and so I did it for her. She'd never satisfied him under the excuse of not bring ready. Well, I took care of that for her. And with me, Kevin had a lot of fun if you know what I mean.
We kissed continuously, enjoying the sensuality. He held me tight and caressed me. Ugh, Heather was so stupid for missing this.
I reluctantly broke the kiss and stepped back
"What's wrong, baby?" he asked
"You wouldn't want anyone creeping in on us now would you?"
"No." he smiled.
"Good. Now get outta here and I promise to reward you tonight when I'll be visiting your house." I winked at him. He smiled.
"Sure, baby. Bye." he gave me a quick kiss and left the office. I fixed my hair and sat down.
