Chapter 65

Liam is a mees.

He's my boss but he's been avoiding me like a plague ever since we met in the hallway earlier. Everyone is starting to notice it and I absolutely refuse to be a laughingstock in the workplace I worked so hard to get into.

"Where were you?" Zoe peeks from her cubicle, pushing back her office chair to take a look at me. I type harder on the keys. grinding on my teeth I think they'd break any seconds now. "Geez, what is up in your ass? Not getting laid lately?" Zoe mutters, snickering and trying to lighten the mood.

I honestly appreciate that about her. But right now, the last thing I want is for anyone reminding me of anything remotely related about sex.

"Please don't talk." I mutter, pressing on 'Enter' to a response to client's email asking if we have any juicy news lately about their glorious Alpha King.

Here's a news, he's a stupid asshole. That's what he is. Not everyone knows that, would probably blow up the internet too.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Zoe shakes her head and does the wise thing by going back to her cubicle and leaving me alone. I blow out an exasperated sigh.

I still can't believe all the fuck-ups I've done last night. I'm not that kind of girl. I refuse to believe I am. But I just proved how much I don't know myself from being stuck in the Riverstone Pack my entire life.

I don't know me. And Goddess, I'm absolutely scared of what I'm capable of.

Sighing, I finally push myself off my chair. "Where are you going?" Zoe asks, taking a sip of her cold mocha. "To settle some things out." I reply, walking past her and to his office. Liam's office.

'Editor in Chief lies in gold plated, bold letters on his mahogany door. Yet he can't even look me in the eye earlier as he offered to drive us both to work. I take a huge amount of breathe before finally knocking. Once, twice, until I banged on it.

What the hell is he doing in there?

The other guys on their own cubicle begin to turn to me, whispering to themselves. Oh fuck off, puny humans who doesn't know a thing.

"Come in."

Finally,

I push the door open and Liam is reading a document. "What is it?" He mutters, not even looking up. "It's me." I call and that got his attention as he drops the document and finally looks up, eyes wide. There it is again. That stupid, flustered gaze.

Is he for real?

"Look," I start off, walking over to his desk. Fuck, this is going to be tough. "I know what I did last night was wrong." I sigh, pushing my hair back and licking my lips.

"I would accept repercussions for it-"

"For what?" He interrupts.

My brows furrow, "For doing that with my boss." I state the obvious in a 'duh' tone. Goddess, he's testing my patience. Is he actually going to play the forget-

anything-happened game?
