Santiago runs his finger over my bottom lip and my red lipstick slightly smudges.
"Santi," I hiss. He leans down and nicks my bottom lip in return.
"It's Mr. Alvaro to you, secretary," he rumbles. He ran his hand that was resting on my hips down to...

Annoyance and jealousy pumped through every step I took to my office.
"When Evelyn sends you the details about the conference, book the flights."
I remember answering the phone for Evelyn.
"Hello?" I asked in my monotone professional voice.
"Hm, a new assistant again?" I hear a feminine voice tease. "Figures."
My head cocks at the judgment lacing her voice. "Yes. My name is Leilani Mahelona. How may I assist you today?"
"Exotic. I bet he loves that." Hearing that makes my heart race a little before I quickly calm down.
"Transfer for me to Santiago, will you?" she says and it's like her voice has a melody to it. It's a secret siren song that sways you.
It pisses me off.
I open my door and see Danny and Cami sitting near my desk with a takeout box. "I thought you were joining us for lunch," Cami says while I close the door.
I sigh and sink against the door. "I need a strong-ass drink."
"It's barely 12," Cami says.
"It is never too early for a drink, lovely," Danny purrs. He reaches into his bag around his waist and pulls out a flask. He stretches out his hand to me.

Danny gasps. "Oh! I love Evelyn! She was such an icon. She's also a bitch, but it was always hard to be mad at her."

"You told me bits and pieces about her relationship with Mr. Alvaro..." I say, keeping my voice light. "What exactly went down with them?"
Cami raises an eyebrow. "Why do you want to know?"
I raise my eyes to her, and she gives me a hard Mom stare. I look away at Danny and he's smirking at me. I groan and rest my face in my hands.
"I noticed you're wearing something a little more different today, Lei-Lei," Danny smears. "Something a little scandalous."
Cami runs his eyes over me. "Low V-neck. A nice slit down the middle."
