Chapter 80:

Eileen stood rooted to the spot, Bryan’s words leaving her speechless.

When she glanced down, his face was so near that his nose was nearly touching her chin.

Her own reflection danced in the depths of his eyes, a blush creeping across her cheeks. With a gulp, she steadied herself.

Bryan coaxed her chin downward with a gentle touch, his breath warm on her skin. Their lips brushed in a tender prelude.

“Is it over or not?” he asked again, the words thick with anticipation.

Eileen said, her voice barely above a whisper, “It’s… not over yet.”

Without warning, Bryan’s lips claimed hers in a fervent kiss. He wrapped his arms around her, inviting her onto his lap.

Her hands found sanctuary on his shoulders, her pulse racing.

His touch was a soft flame through the fabric of her shirt, sending shivers down her spine.

Lost in the moment, Eileen was startled into clarity by the sight of charred paper in a nearby bin.

“We’re still at work,” she said, pulling back from his advance and resting against his shoulder.

Bryan reclined, his head finding support. As Eileen faced him again, his throat moved rhythmically, catching her attention.

Eileen’s fingers traced a path to his throat, the playful gesture ensnaring him in a web of desire.

Bryan’s restraint wavered under her caress, the touch at his throat nearly making him unable to control himself.

But Eileen was just doing it thinking that his Adam’s apple was attractive. As Bryan’s breath hitched, she withdrew her hand, halting the dance of their close encounter.

Rising, she adjusted her attire and said, “The injury has been tended to. Shall I go back to work now?”

Bryan’s response was a nod, giving away nothing of his flustered state.

Eileen took the first aid kit and left the office.

Upon leaving, she found Vivian perched at her station, an earlier absence filled.

Vivian’s brow furrowed in suspicion at Eileen’s appearance from Bryan’s office.

“Why were you in his office just now? It’s lunchtime, isn’t it?” Vivian asked.
