She Got A Better Man

Chapter 35

"Almost," Elvira slurred. Her mind went fuzzy as she felt a tingling sensation through her body. "Elvira, you're so beautiful," Zach praised as he bit her on the lips, unable to resist her beauty.

As the temperature between them soared, a series of knocks echoed through the room, abruptly disrupting and pulling them from their shared moment of intimacy.

Elvira startled, swiftly pulling away from Zach. Her gaze nervously met his, catching a glimpse of displeasure flickered in his eyes. The voice from outside announced, "Mr. Gilbert, an important client has arrived, and we need your presence."

Alright, I'll be there soon," Zach responded. His tender gaze met Elvira's, offering comfort as he carefully adjusted her messy clothes.

"Don't worry about me. Put on your shirt properly first," Elvira insisted, her hands deftly helping Zach to button up. Swiftly, she grabbed some tissues, delicately wiping away the lipstick marks she noticed on his neck.

Zach tucked his shirt back into his trousers, fastening his belt with precision. With a gentle sweep of his fingers, he tidied Elvira's hair, planting a tender kiss on her forehead. "Wait for me here," he whispered. "Alright. Now, get to work," Elvira said.

Zach's gaze lingered on Elvira, his touch tracing a final caress across her face before reluctantly stepping away.

Sherry stood by the door, greeting Zach as he emerged from the office. Catching sight of Elvira's flushed cheeks, Sherry's intuition pieced together what had just happened inside. A heavy weight settled in her chest as if a massive rock had landed there, burdening her with the weight of unspoken emotions.

Zach shot a cold glance at Sherry before striding away. The intensity of his gaze made Sherry feel as though a knife was being held to her throat. Frozen in place, her legs weakened, and it took her a moment to snap out of it.

Sherry regretted losing her cool, revealing the true intentions she had kept hidden all these years. She knew Zach's temperament well and knew she wouldn't be able to stay by his side any longer.

After Zach left, Elvira rose from her seat and began to explore his office. The space was modestly sized, adorned with only the essentials, like a desk, two cabinets, a sofa, and a coffee table, presenting a simple and unadorned aesthetic.

Elvira made her way to Zach's desk and settled into the chair, her gaze wandering over the items scattered across the table with mild curiosity. However, everything she saw was just the usual office supplies.
