Selena wondered if she could muster up enough courage when their next encounter came. Meanwhile, sitting on the flower bed in the community area, Pierre was smoking. The cigarette glimmered in the dark, it’s embers lighting up his bewitching features.
He was a coward. He admitted that he was scared. When he first met her, he was merely curious, but he ended up falling for her. He initially approached her in order to find out if she was a spy. However, it turned out that not only did he totally forget about the investigation, but his mind became obsessed with her. He knew it was terrifying to love someone. Having forbidden himself from falling in love, he ran away.
On the other hand, Linda just coaxed Juniper to sleep when the screen of her phone lit up. Tip-toeing out of the room, she picked up the phone. “Yeah, Boss, it’s all settled. There aren’t any problems on my end, so I don’t think you need to come... Yes, I will.” After hanging up, she heaved a sigh of relief, a delighted smile tugging at her lips. Holding her phone close to her chest, her eyes curved into crescents.
By the next day, Selena was already in the office when Linda brought Juniper along to the company. She quickly approached Selena when Juniper went to the washroom. “How was last night? President Yard, did you...” As she spoke, she motioned with her hands.
Selena’s face turned a shade of scarlet. “What nonsense are you spouting?”
“This isn’t nonsense at all! Since everything was dealt with last night, and you had me take care of Juniper for the night, it’s obvious that you were worried that her presence might hinder you from engaging in certain activities.” Linda even placed emphasis on the final two words while bumping her shoulder against Selena’s. “How are things? How did President Fowler perform? Did he last long? How many times did you do it?”
Extending a hand, Selena whacked her on the head. “Kiddo, you sure have a lot of dirty thoughts in your mind!”
Childishly, Linda latched onto her arm. “President Yard, just tell me about it! I have to sate my curiosity! President Fowler seems to be a great partner, isn’t he?”
Rolling her eyes, Selena replied, “To be honest... nothing happened between us last night.” She supposed she didn’t need to hide anything from Linda, as she considered Linda not only as her assistant, but also her only other friend aside from Jude.
