Lyla's POV
--------------

In his embrace I felt intoxicated with his smell, i drowned in his eyes. I couldn't move away. His hands were so gentle on my waist and his eyes a hard gaze staring directly into mine. His fingertips drawing circles with me between his thighs. "Pardon?", I ask as my voice goes an octave higher. "I was watching the security cameras due to the ruckus in the lobby and I heard a certain woman call herself my slut so I'm enquiring on where my slut is", he lowers his voice and looks me up and down. A definite smirk placed itself on his lips and Damn is he sexy. "Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about", I say looking away from his eyes, those eyes could gauge out the truth if he wanted to. "Oh, so you have no idea who this woman is?" He says letting his eyes land on my lips then up to my eyes. Okay my thighs are truly trembling by now. The intimate position we are in right now causes butterflies and fireworks in places butterflies and fireworks shouldn't be." I have no idea who this woman is", I smile slightly looking up at him while his smirk widens. He wraps his arms tighter and brings me closer letting his mouth slightly touch my ear. "Too bad, I would have loved to have hired her for the position", he says letting his lips slowly trail away from your ear as shivers fill your spine and your mind prepares interesting scenarios for tonight's bedtime session.

Just before I could retort with a sarcastic remark, there's a knock on his office doors and I jump out of his embrace and fix myself. He chuckes beside me and voices a 'come in' as the person walks through the doors. A nerdy looking guy with cute glasses walks in wearing a pair of blue skinny jeans and a striped blue and white shirt. He has blonde fluffy hair and running shoes. He sees me and waves before heading straight to Jason. "Hey Jona, you're back again?" Jason asks and he sits back into his office chair in all his sexy glory. Who I presume is Jona sits across from him while I sit in the seat next to him. "Yeah, I just wanted to talk to you about this code I've been working on, I forgot to bring it to you earlier", he says looking majorly upset. His shoulders are slumped and his back is arched and not in the good way. His fingers tap on his thigh in anxiousness and I can't help ask myself why is he so nervous. "Okay lay it on me", Jason says as he clasps his hands and puts all his attention on Jona.

"The firewall you assigned me to break through has resisted my every code, it desintergrates everything and keeps kicking me out. Even the virus I Imbedded has proved futile, whoever created it has advanced skills". He states, his back still slouching but a sigh leaving his lips. His leg moves anxiously up and down and you can feel how tense he is. "You asked for this project Jona and you told me you could do it, I had high hopes and here you are sitting in my chair with nothing and I'm quite disappointed", Jason says, his face firm. His voice stoic of any emotion, jaw tensed. I could practically breathe in the tension circulating the room, it made me uncomfortable. I shifted in my seat slightly and Jona jumped from his seat in complete anxiety and I couldn't help but softly apologise.
"Yes sir, I apologise. It's just that I've tried everything I could and I can't get through", at this point I could smell his fear. Why would he be so afraid? Of Jason? Before Jason could intervene I asked: "Have you looked for a back door"? They both turn to look at me and the confusion in their facial expressions allows me to continue. "Usually hackers have their own signature, as in they're own unique way of tapping into databases that may be traceable if you know where to look. Sometimes instead of trying to get through, all you need to do is go around-can you give me your laptop"?
I lift up my arms as he hands me his laptop reluctantly. I open it and do what I do best.

"You need to look for a 'key' or a 'back door' in the code, this is usually here to have easier access past the firewall without having to fight through it", I say, as I tap onto the keys of the laptop watching the code before me start to be deciphered. "Hackers that usually create a firewall that seems indestructible, have a hidden code and once you find this code it unlocks everything".
This code seemed familiar as I continue tapping the keys and watching it decipher. I feel like I've seen it before but I don't know where, the hacker is really good and the code almost seems nostalgic. I continue hacking into the code while they both stare at me in awe. Must be something new to see a girl be great at coding. "I'm about.... Done, here you go. You now have access to whatever you wanted access to". You state handing over the laptop back to who you know as Jona and turn to face Jason.
