the next morning i didn't even need the alarm clock, i wake up 1 hour before it rang. im still with my eyes close as i move my hand up to her breasts and i get closer to her. i leave several kisses on her shoulder and go up to your neck until i reach her ear.

-good morning, baby. - i whisper.

i leave a kiss on her cheek. she turns around and kisses me.

-good morning. - she says smiling when we stop the kiss.

we stay in bed for a while.

-i have something to tell u. - she says.

she sounds nervous.

-what? - i ask.

she gets up and looks at me in the eyes.

-im going on a business trip to Paris tomorrow.

-really?

-hmhm. but i'll be back in 4 days, for the company's anniversary party.

-right, u want me to do something different on the company while ur out?

-no baby, u just have to do the same as always.

she says and then kisses me.

[1 day after]

after breakfast we got ready to go to the airport.

i put her luggage in the trunk of my car. then i sit down and scarlett sits on the passenger sit next to me. i start the car and we go ahead to the airport.

silence

the only thing making noise inside this car is the radio. i look at scarlett and she's looking at the view that is outside the window. i put my hand on the girls thigh and i squeeze it a little. i feel her hand over mine and i smile still paying attention to the road.

-are u nervous? - i ask.

-no, im fine. - she answers and i look at her again.

im on the plane to Paris. max drove me to the airport and i can assume it was hard to say goodbye to him, i'll miss him. but now i have to get ready because i'm going to face a very long journey until there.

the moment i close my eyes i can only see what happened last night. i'll miss his touch, his kiss, but it's only 4 days, i think i can deal with that. plus, there's something good waiting for me.

max's pov

well, i must say that watching scarlett go away it's hard. i know, it's just 4 days but for someone who's used to see her every minute it's difficult to say goodbye, even if it's for a short period of time.

im at hailee's house choosing the best suit for the company's anniversary and hailee is helping me with that, of course.

also, scarlett is coming from Paris today and i can't wait to see her again. we kept contact during this 4 days, but it was almost impossible due to the lack of free time she had. she was really busy so i hope she enjoys this party, she needs a break.

i offered myself to pick her up in the airport but she refused and said she wanted me to wait for tonight.

-it's done! - hailee says as she finishes tying my tie

-thanks. - i say and it's possible to detect nervousness in my voice.

-why are u nervous? - she asks smiling.

-idk, maybe bc i'll be introduced to all my co-workers by my boss who happens to have sex with me very often.

-and for which of them are u most nervous about? and be honest. - she puts her hands on my shoulders.

-having sex with my boss, ig.

-chill budy, she wasn't ur boss when u guys met. - she says as she walks away from me towards the kitchen.

-right, but now she is. - i sit on the couch.

-what do u want for dinner?

-anything it's fine. - i say as i scratch the back of my neck.

-when u say that is bc u want lasagna. - hailee says and laughs. - can u call flo, pls? tell her to come.

-yes, sure.

after dinner i open the front door and i walk towards my car when suddenly i listen hailee's voice.

-have fun!

i look back and there is hailee and flo on the front door looking at me. i can see hailee's smile.

-if u need anything, don't call us, we'll be busy. - flo says and laughs. hailee hits her arm and laughs too.

-oh, don't worry, i'll be busy too.

i smile and i enter my car. now im driving towards the company's headquarters. once i arrive i receive a message from scarlett.

"are u taking longer? the party already started!"

very authoritarian, barely arrived and is already sent to me. she's lucky that i do as she says.

open the car's door and i walk towards the entrance. there is not much light downstairs as the party is taking place on the 3rd floor, where there is a huge room and a bar. i can hear the noise upstairs.

i take the elevator up. when i arrive, the doors open and i find a huge crowd, most of them talking to each other, glasses in hand. i listen to the music, the dj was chosen by scarlett, so he must be pretty good. i walk among people. they look at me and i nod and smile, always walking. im looking for scarlett.

i reach the bar.

-vodka, pls. - i ask the bartender.

-drinking already? - i hear a voice behind me.

i turn around and i face a girl. she's wearing a beautiful green dress which highlights her green eyes. i've seen her before but i can't remember her name.

-elizabeth, or just lizzie. i can see that u recognized me.

-yeah, and what are u doing here?

-im one of the partners. i am the branch manager in France, more precisely in Paris.

-oh, i see. - i say as i look to the glass of vodka that the bartender gave me.

-ur scarlett's secretary, right? she talked about u all the time. btw, she's looking for u.

-yeah, right. ig i see u around. - i say as i get up.

-sure! - she says walking away.

i look to the crowd and finally i notice her. I walk towards her. she seems to be having a great conversation since she's laughing.

-good night, everyone. - i say as i arrive.

now im near to scarlett. she looks at me and then to the people that were around her.

-look, here he is. this is max, my new secretary.

-pleasure. - some guy says and smiles making a suggestive face as he looks at scarlett.

it's chris, of course he's here too. we've already met.

i smile back at him. not a sympathetic smile for sure.
