Nicole pov 

I didn't look back nor did I stop running…

If he was behind me…I know I'm definitely no match for him …but ..still,I kept running.

When I dared to look back,I realized that he wasn't running after me.

That makes me look stupid to myself.

I slowed down and started to walk briskly out of the hotel… I rubbed my chest trying to calm down.

It's fine, I said to myself.

Everything will be fine.

I made a mistake getting drunk and getting involved in a one night stand….

But, it's not the end of the world.

I was grateful and comforting when I thought I won't have to face him again.

When I got home..I quickly made myself breakfast and headed to the company which I worked for.

Getting to the entrance of the building,my phone rang.

I smiled seeing it was my mother.

I slowly picked up.

“Hello, Mom.”

“Oh my princess,I hope you haven't forgotten that tonight is your uncle's Anderson birthday. He's hosting a banquet at De paradise ,you  will be there, right?”

“No, mom.I don't want to go.”

If I went to that party,I would definitely run into my father and my stepmom and I really wasn't in the mood to put up with them tonight.

“C’mon, Nicole. Your uncle Anderson and wife have been good and very kind to us. The least we can do is to honor their invitation.” My mom persuaded me.

I exhaled.

Let me tell you a little why I don't like my dad.

When I was eight years old, my father cheated on my mother with our maid and practically abandoned her. If it hadn't been for my uncle Anderson,my life would have been so unbearable.

“Fine. I'll go.”

“And try not to make trouble with your father.”  She warned.

“if he doesn't cause me any trouble…I won't”. And with that,I hung up.

I could still remember vividly years ago,my mother knelt down begging my father not to file for a divorce.

She told him she would forgive his affair…his unfaithfulness but he cast her aside.

He didn't only divorce my mother but took everything from her.

After that, life was very hard for the two of us.

I can't bring myself to ever forgive my dad for hurting us like that.

I walked into the company just in time and sat on my desk.

My colleague, Nora Tommy walked up to me.

“You look different today, Nicole?”

I frowned.”Different?How?”

“ you've been sulking and dull since Desmond broke up with you, but today….you don't look sad at all.”

Nora and I are pretty close.

I signed “well maybe it's because I had a really crazy night. You won't believe I spent two hundred dollars on a prostitute to comfort my wounded heart.” I said, laughing.

“You don't say.” She snickered.

She actually thinks I'm joking.

Well, we offen make all kinds of jokes,so I'm not surprised.

We've had few people thinking that whe have rich experience which dealing with men when in fact….. we're conservative as hell.

That why I'm really furious about last night.

That was so not me.

“The new boss is resuming today.”

She announced.

.

I shrugged.

“I heard he's the heir to prime Group. His father is a senior official of the government and his mother is the president at the companyny's headquarters. Right now….most of the ladies in the company are dying to  meet him… I'm sure he's so handsome.”

I rolled my eyes.

I can only hoped he's not one of those proud,rude and pompous heirs.

I can't even imagine working for an asshole as a boss.

My supervisor, Ethan came over.

“We have a meeting at the conference hall now!”  He announced and started walking away.

I quickly took my notepad and followed suit.

I walked into the room to find everyone seated so I sat at a corner quietly.

My mind trailed off to the early hours of the morning… he was so handsome.i found myself smiling…

I thought about the pissed off expression on his face when I placed the 200 Dollars on the bed.

I placed my hand over my mouth and laughed.

Maybe I've gone too far..

But then I just couldn't stand the look of disgust he gave to me and more so,he was going to send me away as a prostitute.

That would have been so demeanding .

A round of applause startled me and I snapped out of my reverie.

A man in navy blue suit walked into the conference hall.

My jaw dropped when his face registered in my retina.

Why…. Why is he here?

Something's wrong with my eyes…. something's definitely wrong with my eyes!

I rubbed my eyes with my thumbs…I closed and opened them again but it was still him.

Then man who I had One night stand with!

The man who I actually paid 200 dollars!

Oh my God!

Where will I run to this time!?

  • ACCIDENTALLY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS    chapter 24

    Nicole's POV The drive home blurred together. Red lights. Green lights. People crossing streets. Cars slipping past mine. I couldn't remember any of them. The photograph sat on the passenger seat. Face up. Every time I looked away, my eyes found it again. My father. My uncle. And him. The city moved around me like nothing had changed. Maybe that was the cruel part. The world never stops because yours does. I pulled into my apartment building and turned off the engine. Silence. Real silence. No conversations. No questions. No careful looks exchanged over my head. Just me. My hand reached for the photograph. I hesitated. Then took it with me. The elevator climbed slowly. The numbers above the door lit one after another. Three. Four. Five. By the time it reached my floor, I realized I was still holding my keys. I had never unlocked the car. I looked down at them. Then laughed. A small sound. Barely there. The kind

  • ACCIDENTALLY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS    chapter 23

    Nicole's POV My uncle didn't ask the question again. He didn't need to. It stayed there anyway. Who told you to ask me that? The words settled between us, quiet and heavy, like they had always belonged in this house. I looked down at the cup in my hands. The tea had gone cold. Funny. I couldn't remember taking a single sip. My uncle leaned back into his chair, studying me over the rim of his own cup. He always had that look—the one that made you feel like he knew the answer before you'd even found the question. "You've been busy," he said. "Work." "Hm." That was all. Just that little sound. The same one he'd made when I was ten and tried to convince him I'd finished my homework. The same one when I was fifteen and told him I wasn't upset after my parents separated. The same one that always meant: I know you're lying. A soft clatter came from the kitchen. Then a familiar voice. "If you two are just going to stare at each other, at least do it over fresh tea." I l

  • ACCIDENTALLY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS    chapter 22

    Nicole's POV The office was quieter now.Not because people had left. Because the noise no longer reached me. Voices moved beyond the glass. Phones rang. Someone laughed somewhere down the hall. The world continued with an ease that felt almost offensive. My screen glowed in front of me. Unread emails. Meeting requests. Deadlines. Things that had seemed important this morning. I stared at them. The words blurred. Not from tears.......Just distance. Like they belonged to somebody else's life. My hand drifted toward the photograph again. The one still sitting open on my phone. The outline. The shoulder. The shape my mind refused to let go of. The shape it already knew. I locked the screen. Then unlocked it. Then locked it again. As if doing it enough times might change what I'd seen. but .... I already knew It wouldn't The memory kept coming anyway. Uninvited. A rainy afternoon. Years ago. The smell of old books. A familiar voice som

  • ACCIDENTALLY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS    chapter 21

    Nicole’s POV The office didn’t feel the same after she left. Not quieter, not louder… just wrong. Like something had shifted half an inch out of place and refused to go back. I stood where she’d left me, staring at the door a second too long, like it might open again and fix whatever that was. It didn’t. It never does. My reflection caught in the glass before I meant to look. Still composed, still sharp, still exactly what everyone expected to see. I held my own gaze for a second, then another, like I was waiting for it to crack first. It didn’t either. That almost annoyed me. I moved.Not out of hesitation, but intention. The photo was still open on my phone. The angle sat wrong in my head, like a word on the tip of your tongue that refuses to come out. I lifted it again, zooming in just slightly, not on myself this time… on the edges. The reflection. The glass. The faint outline of something behind it. My brows pulled together. “…that’s not outside.” The realization didn’t hi

    Nicole’s POV The office felt… too bright. Not the normal kind of bright. The kind that sat behind your eyes and refused to dim, no matter how many times you blinked. My heels clicked against the floor.Steady, Measured and Controlled. people would think everything about me At least… from the outside is stable not knowing my mind is rollercoaster Inside. The elevator doors slid open, and I stepped out without hesitation.Because pausing meant thinking and thinking meant replaying. My grip tightened slightly around my phone. “Morning, ma’am.” I didn’t even look at who said it. “Morning.” My voice came out smooth. Easy. Like I slept......Like I wasn’t standing in my apartment last night staring at a photo of myself taken from across the street. Like someone wasn’t watching me or will I say Still watching me. I reached my office door, pushing it open. I stepped inside, closing it behind me with a quiet click. My hand pressed against the edge of the desk, finge

    Nicole’s POV The kettle clicked Soft Almost like nothing. But it landed too loud in the silence. My phone was still in my hand, the screen dimming slowly before going dark. Behind me, water began to heat again.A low hum. Then the faint tremble of it nearing a boil. Mom moved around the kitchen.Cup against the counter Ceramic tapping lightly. Like she was being careful not to make noise.....m And somehow making more because of it. “You should sit, you've been standing for a while now.” Her voice came from behind me. I didn’t answer. l My thumb brushed the side of my phone, waking the screen again. Light spilled across my palm Cold and Unforgiving. The message sat there. Something about it felt deliberate. Like whoever sent it knew exactly how long I’d stare before giving in. Another second passed. The kettle hissed softly now,Steam building,Pressure rising. I tapped the screen. You’re asking the wrong people. My fingers tightened slightly. The words
