Descubrimientos (Faye Yoko)

Part 6

Hello! :D I'm sharing a new update, I hope you have a nice day!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day of the show finally arrived, and Malisorn's was a hive of frenetic activity. The event hall was an organized chaos where the details of the decor were carefully finalized. Faye and Yoko meticulously oversaw every aspect: the seating arrangement, the lighting, the runway, the carpets, the catering, and the drinks. Everything had to be perfect; the pressure was on their shoulders, but the excitement of the event drove them.

Yoko, inspired by her conversation with Orm and emboldened by Ling's words about the special treatment she received from Faye, looked for every opportunity to "accidentally" brush her boss's hands or body. Each contact sent little electric shocks through her body, confirming the certainty she had begun to form in her heart. The connection she longed for became palpable, and each brush made her doubt her self-control.

When lunchtime came, Faye suggested leaving the company to clear her mind. "What would you like to eat?" he asked with a warmth in his gaze that made Yoko's heart skip a beat as if it were truly alive for the first time. The mere thought of sharing more time alone filled her with nervousness and anticipation. "My treat," he added, smiling.

Yoko pretended to think about it, though her heart was already racing. "Well, if you're treating, pick something delicious for me," he replied, trying to contain a radiant smile that was sure to give her away. His happy puppy-dog expression brought a noticeable blush to Faye, who couldn't help but feel flattered by the attention.

The restaurant they chose offered a variety of traditional Thai dishes, and Faye settled on Pad Thai. Throughout the meal, Yoko's game of "accidental" touch became more evident, each attempt bolder than the last. The last was particularly obvious when she pretended to wipe the corner of Faye's mouth, which had been soiled by a sauce.

Before Yoko's hand reached its destination, Faye caught it in midair. "Yoko, you've been trying to touch me all day. Are you flirting with me?" she asked directly, her eyes sparkling with amusement and a glint of complicity.

The question left Yoko paralyzed. "I... I just want to be nice because you hired me," she stammered, struggling to maintain her composure as her mind churned between confusion and desire.

Still holding her hand, Faye leaned slightly toward her. "You know, you can't treat your boss like someone you want to hit on... at least not in a place as public as this. Remember that I'm a person who's always under scrutiny." Her words carried a playful tone, but also a seriousness that made Yoko blush even more, dazzled by the closeness.

After lunch, upon returning to the office, Faye didn't immediately start the car in the parking lot. She turned to Yoko with a mischievous look. "You didn't want to touch me? You can do it here... or are you just not brave enough anymore," she suggested in a soft voice, an invitation hidden in her words.

Yoko froze, her mind racing with all the possible interpretations of the proposition. Her desires to take Faye's hand, caress her face, and perhaps even attempt a first kiss consumed her. The thought made her face burn.

Faye, noticing her nervousness, took the initiative and intertwined her fingers with Yoko's. "I'll say it once... I like you," she confessed sincerely, her gaze deep and penetrating. "If you feel the same, don't be afraid."

Yoko's heart skipped a beat. Though words wouldn't come out, she managed to reciprocate the gesture, gently caressing Faye's thumb with her own, confirming, albeit silently, what they both already knew. The tenderness of the moment touched Faye, who couldn't help but marvel at the young woman's purity and innocence.
