Unexpected Encounter with my Boss

Chapter 1

The man's kisses rained down on Tiffany Lloyd's body.

Time passed until, finally, the storm subsided. Tiffany curled up in the man's warm embrace, drifting into a deep sleep... The next morning, Tiffany rolled over. Her fingers made contact with something warm.

The unfamiliar sensation made her jolt awake. As she slowly opened her eyes, a handsome face appeared before her.

"Huh? Mr. Lewis?" Tiffany's mind went blank for two seconds. Then, flashes of what had happened the night before flooded back into her mind. Her eyes flew wide as she bolted upright.

Her entire body was sore and aching. But what hurt more was the scene before her eyes.

She was in a spacious tent, and the sheets were tousled around her. Vincent Lewis was stark naked, save for a thin blanket around his waist. Tiffany sat stunned, as if struck by lightning. She felt like the world had collapsed in that instant.

Last night hadn't been a dream?

She was an intern who had just joined the company half a month ago. And now she had slept with her boss.

As Tiffany reeled, Vincent's hand moved, indicating that he was rousing from his slumber.

Terrified, Tiffany frantically got dressed and fled. In her rush, she didn't notice the pearl bracelet lying by the pillow.

Outside, the day had yet to break. The bonfire from the night before had smoldered, leaving a trail of smoke rising from it. Dozens of tents surrounded the area. Tiffany dashed barefoot across the grass and quickly disappeared into a pale pink tent. As soon as she lay down, Kelly Harrison, her colleague, rolled over. As their eyes met, Tiffany's breath caught in her throat. But Kelly only glanced at Tiffany before closing her eyes again. She casually asked, "What were you doing out so early?"

"I... I just went to the restroom," Tiffany choked out, her mind racing.

Kelly didn't pry further. Soon, her breathing became even once more.

Tiffany exhaled in relief, but her heart was still pounding wildly. She stared unblinkingly at the tent ceiling until the sky brightened outside and everyone else woke up. Still, she remained huddled inside. She could hear her colleagues' laughter and chatter outside. Tiffany cocooned herself, leaving only her head peeking out from the covers, her eyes wide.

Kelly unzipped the tent and peered in. "Tiffany, get up. We'll eat breakfast and then go hiking."

They were on a company team-building camping trip in a scenic mountain area for several days.
