A week later, I arrived at work, still feeling the weight of recent events. My mom was finally getting out of the hospital, which was a relief, but my mind was cluttered with other concerns.

As I settled into my office, James barged in without a knock. "Aubrey, you've got a situation with Yanna, your assistant. She's making some wild claims," he said, his tone serious but tinged with curiosity.

I looked up, surprised. "What's she saying now?"

James leaned against my desk, his expression grave. "She's threatening to quit and sue you, claiming inappropriate behavior."

My frustration boiled over. "Inappropriate behavior? Sue me?"

James eyed me closely. "Did something happen between you two?"

I hesitated, the memories of that night in Chicago flashing through my mind. "We fucked  once. I was drunk, and it was a mistake," I admitted quietly.

James let out a low whistle. "You never learn, do you, Aubrey?"

I ran a hand over my hair, feeling the weight of my choices. "I'll handle this, James."

" You sure?" James looked at me amused.

" Yea! She's claiming I'm inappropriate. She's the one that's been on my dick, trying to fuck with me." This shit is pissing me off.

"Just be careful. These things can get messy."

I nodded while my gaze drifted to Malaika, who was walking past my office. She was wearing something different from what she had on earlier that morning before I left her place. Even from a distance, the way her clothes accentuated her figure was distracting. The top she wore under her jacket wasn't too revealing but I could still see a little something. Her pierced nipples were hidden under pasties. I smirked at the fact that I was the only one knew about that. This morning while she was getting dressed I told her to let them show and she smacked my arm and continued with putting the pasties on.

James caught my gaze and smirked. "That's who I thought you were after."

I couldn't help but smile at the thought of her. "Oh, I am. James, she's... I can't even explain, I don't want to fuck this up, though."

He nodded, understanding. " I get you. Just don't let your personal life affect your work, especially with this Yanna situation."

After James left, I texted Malaika, telling her that she looked beautiful and inviting her to my office. Her response was playful yet firm.

Malaika😮‍💨😍
😏Uh uh... Aubrey, what did I tell you? Boundaries! I know your ass doesn't need anything because I'm not working with you today! Thank you BTW😘
