Kyle entered the building walking like nothing else matters, maybe because nothing else did. The only reason he transferred and put Jack in charge of the capital office, was to spend time with his sister plus it was a good idea to see for himself how this branch under them worked. Caleb and Naomi were in front of him discussing the last month sales in this branch it seemed like another company was swiping most of their deals from under their noses. By the time they all reached his office they already had at least five ideas ready to put into place.

"So Kye when do we leave for Italy?" Caleb, his assistant asked.

"Probably next week since he is going to be spending few days at Kiara's" Naomi clarified. She always knew what was going through Kye's mind, he laughed at Caleb's mocking face.

"Till then what do we do" Aiden whined like a child, entering the office.

"I don't know Aiden; go to a club, eat healthy or whatever" Naomi replied not looking away from her notepad.

"So i heard you went to a party last night?" Caleb teased kye.
"Were the college girls hot?"

"You ask a lot of questions Caleb" Kye mentioned going through the files on his computer.

Caleb continued to ramble until someone knocked on the door, Naomi told whoever it was to come in.

Kye lifted his eyes briefly to see who it was and once he did he couldn't look away. It felt like he couldn't breathe, like someone had punched him in the gut, he couldn't tear his gaze away. She wore what she had on the day before except her turtle neck was red today, her jet black hair was in a tight chignon with her face void of makeup still she took his breath away.

Desire walked towards the fair lady in a blue, bodycon dress and handed over her coffee order. Naomi, yes that was her name. Desire had heard so many things about her; she was a major figure in the business and even a close relation to her Boss. Then she moved on to Caleb the assistant tall, dark and sexy but too goofy for her liking. He even reminded her of Madeline. Next was Aiden; the quiet guy with a whole load of charisma.

Before she could reach the table at the middle of the room, Naomi called her name and she was told to get some files from the second office which she left to do. Kye left briefly after her ignoring the call from Aiden, he entered the office and locked the door behind him startling Desire.

Desire blinked when she saw who entered behind her believing that either she was dreaming or this man was stalking her, she was about to question his motives but he beat her to it.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He asks, holding his voice not wanting her to feel like he was very disturbed about this.

She looked around before speaking.
"I should be asking you that. First the party then my house now my workplace. Are you following me?" She spat accusingly.

He threw his head back clearly finding this amusing. This meant she had no idea who he was, this was definitely something.
"No darling, I work here"

The nerve of this man, Desire thought to herself.
"Really? I've never seen you here before" She stated hands akimbo.

"I arrived today" He said taking two step closer to her figure. Her lips parted in surprise, this act made Kye almost lose his cool. She avoided his eyes like they would burn if she even glanced at them.

It felt like a slap to the face.
"You.. your..the Boss?" Desire didn't want to believe it. Her prayer this morning was to keep this man far away from her and now it seemed like he was only getting closer. Does anything she asks for ever happen?

"Yes Desire"

Desire clenched her fingers together, the way her name left his lips were addicting. If she was going to do this she needed to show him how much she wasn't affected by him.
"Okay. That doesn't change anything. Nothing happened last night, we simply made a mistake and I apologise and I also couldn't care less. So I beg of you If you see me turn the other way or rather I will, your my Boss that is the ONLY relationship between us. Savvy"

Savvy?
Kye felt sad about her words they struck him like blades still he wasn't going to back down but she didn't need to know that.
"Sure. Get me large coffee black in three minutes" He said and left the office not before tucking a stray strand of a soft black curl behind her ear.

When he returned, everyone looked at him suspiciously but his facial expression made none of then ask him why he left the room so suddenly instead they continued like nothing happened.

                                                 ♟

Desire barged into Dr. Posey's office all flushed and angry. She couldn't believe the guts of her Boss, she didn't give him the permission to touch her yet he did. She was so mad. When Dr. Posey offered her a glass of water she emptied it and sat down on the two-seater couch in front of her therapist.

"What's the problem Desire? How was work?" Elizabeth asked crossing her legs.

"Terrible"

She poured out all her all the details of the day leaving out few truths about the kiss like how much it comforted her, like how much she craved more, how could she? When she herself wasn't ready to go down that road. Not now not ever.

"This happens alot. It isn't much of a big deal or was it to you?"

"No" Desire answered a little too quickly .
"He isn't even my type"

Elizabeth smiled to herself, seeing Desire all flushed was a good sign all she needed Desire to do was experience something good. Anything good.
"What is your type?"

Desire thought to herself. What was her type?
"Uhmmm. I like a man who cooks and one who listens"

"Is that all?" Elizabeth asked. Desire shrugged.
"How did you end up at a party?"

"Madeline invited me to her birthday party" After few seconds, she looked down to her fingers.
"I got her a birthday gift"

Elizabeth's eyes widened.
"Did you want to or did you do it to because it felt like an obligation?"

"Madeline is always happy" Wrapping her hands around her chest.

"That wasn't an answer"

Desire exhaled.
"I wanted to i guess"

Elizabeth grinned amusingly.
"That was nice of you"

"Oh believe me I know" She replied, a smirk creeping onto her face.
