AHHHHHHH. THIS IS MY ROMANCE NOVEL DREAM.
So??? How was it??
I chew on my lip, staring at the words. My fingers fly before I can stop them.
Like I couldn’t breathe but didn’t want to stop.
And it was a mistake. A HUGE mistake.
If anyone finds out, I’m done.
TJ:
Orrrrrrr you’re about to be the main character in the sexiest office romance of all time.
I let my head fall back against the wall, torn between laughing and crying. Trust Tiana to make a potential scandal feel like entertainment.
TJ:
But still, I agree that you need to be careful. I don’t want you risking everything because some billionaire with perfect hair decided he’s into you.
I know. I’ll handle it.
TJ:
Promise?
Promise.
TJ:
Okay. Now text me back the exact way he kissed you before my imagination kills me.
Stop it! I’m serious, TJ. This can never happen again.
TJ:
Mhm. Keep telling yourself that.
I shove my phone back into my pocket, take one last steadying breath, and leave the bathroom. All I need to do is sit down at my desk, bury myself in work, and pretend like nothing happened.
“Hey, Mya.”
I glance up to find Ethan heading my way, a stack of folders in one arm and a coffee in the other.
“Hi,” I say, managing a smile.
He stops right in front of me, his easy grin in place. “I heard you’re coming to Singapore with us.”
I nod. “Just found out today.”
“That’s great. You’ll love it. First time traveling for work?”
“First time travelinganywhere. So this feels big.”
His laugh is warm. “Trust me, you’ll kill it. I’ll make sure you get the best crash course on international site visits. The locals are going to love you. They always appreciate a new face,” he says with a wink. “I’m originally from there, so if you need someone to show you the ropes—or, you know, the best hawker stalls in Singapore…” He shrugs, the corner of his mouth quirking. “I’m your guy.”
I open my mouth to reply, but then I feel a burning sensation on the side of my face.
