Tempted By My Boss - Chapter 35

“Why didn’t you at least tell me that you were meeting him?”

“Do you want tea?”

“No Hailey I don’t tea, I want answers.”

“He was leaving, and we didn’t plan on having dinner it just happened.”

“Couldn’t you just text me a few lines, then I would have been at ease.” As his voice softens a bit. “I know, and I genuinely forgot so can we please just move on. I don’t want to fight.”

“I also don’t want to fight Hailey” as he comes closer. “Tomorrow we are having our first official date.”

“Really, what do you have in mind Sir”

“A bit of this and that” as he smiles at her ruefully.

“Now that I have seen that you are okay, I am going to leave.” She walks behind him and then she sees him out.

She felt a bit cold, so she changes into her cozy pajamas and she goes to watch t.v. Hailey always did this on a Thursday night and thank goodness it was Friday tomorrow.

When she feels drowsy, she turns off the television and she goes to bed. She wakes up the next morning and gets to work a bit early, she wanted to finish her work fast so that she could go home and change then go on the date with Valerian.

The day is going by so slowly, it feels as if every five minutes turns into out to be a minute. So, she immerses herself more into her work, and tries to focus even harder. When five finally strikes, she was long done with her work and she rushes out.

She races to the bus station and she takes a bus home, she sends Valerian a text. “Hey, I went home already. I wanted to change.”

Soon he replies “Okay, I will come fetch you in about an hour, because I also need to freshen up a bit.”

“Okay, thanks.”

“Anything for you.”

She puts her phone on the charger and she starts getting dressed. She starts seeing which outfits would work and which one would not. She decided on a red dress.

Hailey goes to the bathroom and shaves, then she hops into the shower. The water feels good after a long day. She gets out and dries her hair and she put on the dress. Then she puts on her makeup and then she puts on her heels and she has got five minutes to spare.

Valerian wasn’t one to be late, he was usually here on time or early. She locks up her apartment and she stands outside, she sees his car pulling up.

He gets out the car. “You look beautiful Hailey.” and he hands her a bouquet of red roses. He kisses her on the cheek. “For you.”

“thank you, they match my dress.”

He then led her to the car and he opens the door for her. She thanks him, and he gets in, She looks at him as he walks around the car and he looks dashing in his suit.

He gets in and the engine comes alive, They drive off and she wonders where they are going. “Where are we going ?”

“It’s a surprise.”

“Okay.” as she smells the roses, they have a beautiful fragrance to them. They drive for at least an hour and the night lights look so extravagant.

It seems like they are going up a high mountain road. They finally get to the destination and it looks very beautiful.

She gets out the car and a vale takes the keys. Valerian holds out his arm for her “shall we?”

She takes it and there is a red carpet. “Welcome to Magnolia, Madame and Sir.”

Wow it was beautiful.

“I booked for the outside suite.”

“Valerian?”

“Yes.”

“Sorry Sir,” this way as he leads them up the stairs, and they get to the outside. She had never seen such a view in her entire life. This was not real. She had to be dreaming, it was too spectacular, and they were the only ones outside.

Valerian pulls out her chair and she sits down then he tucks it in for her.

Then he sits down, “I already ordered beforehand, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Great.” She was relieved, she didn’t want to order something that she didn’t like.

She hears a click and turns around and then she hears more. She sees Valerian taking pictures of her. She laughs, “stop.”

“Never.”He reaches out and touches her hand, “I want to stay in this moment forever with you.”
