"The problem is," He said as he leaned in, "If I kissed you, I won't be able to stop."
I shift my weight onto my other leg, "You wouldn't know if you don't...

Taking a seat at the head of the table, I wait for Mr. Chimney to arrive. His involvement is the last thing we need to get it started. For someone who wrote 'Timekeeper' on their resume, they don't seem to fit the criteria.
I sigh looking at my watch, it's 3:55PM when this meeting ought to have started 25 minutes ago.
"Let us start, shall we?" I say and everyone in the room goes silent turning their attention on me. "A meeting was scheduled to discuss a few allegations we have received from our finance department."
A moment later, Mr. Chimney enters the room just as I was about to begin my next sentence.
The eyes of everyone are on him as he silently makes his way to his assigned seat. A lick of the lips accompanies his settling into his chair while he calmly buttons his suit as if he isn't late.
I glare at him while saying, "Let's cut the talking and get straight into it. One of you has been stealing from me." And his eyes widen before returning to their natural state. My team sweeps their gazes across the room as quickly as the atmosphere shifts.
"It won't take us long before we find out who it is. We encourage the employee to come forward right away. Otherwise, you will be blacklisted from all jobs until an indefinite period of time and will face a series of precautions." I lean back into my seat observing everyone.
My eyes land on Mr. Chimney. His gaze is kept towards the glass table away from the eyes of those in front of him.
"Speaking as a CEO, you have been counted as disloyal and untrustworthy to my company. You have Violated my Rules & Regulations. Just know that the police has already been made aware of this and yes, I will be suing."
I now notice that Mr. Chimney's hands begin to get clammy and his right leg bouncing up and down - A very clear sign a nervousness. I look at my two other employee's, a streak of sweat goes along their foreheads. Looks like everyone's beginning to get nervous now?
"You have 3 days to come forward. My mercy is being extended to you at this point. You stole 6 million from me and I haven't fought a single person in this room." I seethe while everyone turns away from my menacing glare.
"Leave!" I shout leaning back into my seat. It doesn't take long for everyone to rush out without a second thought.
My chair rotates as I gaze out the clear glass window viewing the city. I hear my phone ring, and an unknown number appears on the screen. I furrow my eyebrows as I accept the call. I don't say anything so the caller can speak first. "Hello." The familiar accented voice speaks. "Hello? Who is this?" I question. "It is Angelina Taraji, daughter of Aurelia." She says and I immediately sit up, "This is Mr. Sanchez, what can I do for you?"
"Well," She breathes out, "As you know my daughter got suspended. I don't want her to miss any important work from your lectures. Will it be possible to tutor her for the time being?" She says in anticipation. "Yes!"
Slow down, You need time to think about this! No I don't... It's Aurelia, how can I say no?
"O—Really?" She sounds taken aback, "Yeah, why not." I breathe out a chuckle, "Thank you Mr. Sanchez." I can feel her smiling behind the screen. "Roman. Roman is just fine." I tell her. "Okay Roman, be here in 15 minutes." She says and before I could protest, she ends the call.
Well then, let the games begin.
