Knock knock

Keith is diligently working or at least attempting to, although he finds himself fidgeting in his chair.

His mind is still consumed by the memories of a particularly intense lovemaking session.

As he rubs his back, he can't help but admire the stamina of his partner.

Interrupting his thoughts, there is a knock on the door.

Keith's assistant enters the room and notices his boss's furrowed brow.

Nervously, he places some documents on Keith's desk and informs him,

"Sir, the other parties have arrived, but instead of Mr. Robert, his younger brother is here."

The assistant goes on to explain, "It seems that the project leader position has been passed on to the younger son.

He arrived in the country just a year ago, and Mr.Wood has great faith in his abilities.

The younger son, Carl, has already built an impressive reputation for himself."

Keith, now composed, responds with a nod and says, "Alright, let's proceed."

As the meeting progressed, Keith found why he find Carl familiar, its because he saw him in his brother's engagement party.

Keith increasingly impressed by Carl's contributions and insights.

The meeting ended on a positive note, and to celebrate their success, a small dinner party was organized.

During the gathering, Keith took a few moments to step out onto the balcony.

In the gentle glow of dim lighting, a sweet breeze tousled his hair, giving him a sense of tranquility.

As Keith reached for a cigarette and searched for a lighter, he heard a familiar voice say,

"Do you need help?"

It was none other than Carl, who held out a lighter in front of Keith with a warm smile.

Keith looked at Carl amd accepted the offered lighter.
he lit his cigarette, the flame casting a soft, alluring glow on their faces.

Carl gaze at Keith's captivating side profile in the dim light.

The flickering of the lighter showered his face with a mesmerizing charm.

His attention was drawn to Keith's long, elegant eyelashes, which framed his eyes so beautifully.

Carl's gaze lingered on Keith's lips, tracing his neck with his eyes.

He couldn't help but licked his lips,

Keith noticed Carl's eyes at him and frowned.

He politely expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your help. I need some fresh air, so excuse me."

As Keith attempted to leave, Carl quickly interjected,

"I am sorry, did I offend you? I just wanted to talk to you.

I admire you so much, and my father always speaks highly of you.

I joined this project so I can learn from you." Carl appeared embarrassed and nervous as he spoke.

"Let's talk when we work together. I'll be leaving now." With that, Keith made his exit.

Carl watched as Keith walked away and couldn't help but chuckle to himself, saying,

"So fierce."

He playfully remarked, "But the fiercer they are, the more enjoyable it is to break them."
