"I'm sorry, Mr Bernard. I was just..." Alice paused suddenly to take a gasp. Her stomach sank.
"I was just wondering why you have to care much about my personal affairs," she raised up her head, slightly
"I mean, what's all these for?"
"Why are you sitting this close to me?"
"Why did you..." She still had more questions to ask. She sighed.
There was some few minutes of silence. They kept staring at each other. Mr Bernard drew even more closer and gave her a passionate kiss on those red, luscious lips of hers. She was astounded.
With a smile on his face, and the sweetest voice she has ever heard, he whispered into her ears, "I love you". He cupped her face and looked straight into her eyes, as though something was hidden there. She pouted. He smiled and slipped his hand down to her neck, stroking her hair gently.
"Don't you love me too?" He asked, expecting an answer that seemingly wouldn't come.
"I,... I,..." Alice was hesitant. She knew she loved him too, but was too shy to reply.
He held her against his chest with one hand, rested his head on her shoulder, and wrapped the other hand around her waist. She almost melted at his touch. She could feel impulses running up her spines. He smelt so nice in this close proximity. She wanted him to kiss her some more.
"Don't you? Just say it" He repeated his question.
She was breathing very fast. She didn't know what to say.
"I,..." she was about to say it, when he closed her mouth with another deeper sensual kiss.
"Umm..." she whimpered, indicating that she liked it.
"I know you do," he giggled and continued on and on, deeper and deeper, his wandering hands reaching for her thigh.
She pushed him away immediately. She just realized he was her boss and it was inappropriate what they were doing. Even if it was, not in his office.
"Stop! Stop it!" She yelled at him.
"What if someone walks in on us? What explanation can we offer?" She ranted, breathing heavily.
"Do you remember I'm your boss?" He asked, looking at her amorously.
"No one walks into my office without my consent. Besides, even if they do, I owe no one any explanation" he said, reassuringly.
Alice wasn't okay with this. She quickly freed herself from his grip and rushed out of the office, without looking back.
