*Sav's POV* 

The next day, I tried to put yesterdays events with Eli out of my mind as I walked up to my office building. I walked in and saw the elevator doors starting to close. 

"Hold it!" I called out as I rushed forward. A hand stuck itself out and the elevator doors binged back open. I hurried on. Eli was standing there with a small smile on her face. I gave her a smile. "Thanks so much!" 

She shrugged, saying "No biggie!" I grinned again.

But noticed the uncomfortable silence that engulfed us. We shifted nervously from foot to foot. Why was this so.....wrong? Why did I suddenly get a bad feeling from her? From the encounter we had yesterday? Eli didn't seem the kind of girl to snitch about something. She was like me, and I knew I wouldn't. When the doors open, we parted ways without another word. I tried to shrug off the bad feeling I had while I got to work.

Chris came to surprise me with Chipotle for lunch. He knocked while I was in the middle of writing a synopsis to be forward to him, actually. His knock startled me and I jumped in my chair before I glanced up and saw that it was him. I smiled as he came in, the smell of food invading my nose and my office. He set them down before he leaned in for a kiss.

"Hello love," he greeted. I smiled.

"Hi," I said, blushing. He offered me a bag and I took it. We took out our food and began to eat, talking, making small talk, most of it relating to work because i mentioned the report. When lunch was over, he gathered our trash and threw it away. I got up to walk him out. He stopped me at the door, by taking me in his arms. I blushed as I nearly stumbled into him.

"I love you," he murmured.

"I love you too," I said.

He brought his lips to mine and I couldn't help but relish in the feel of his soft, warm, lips agianst mine as he held me close to his body. He gently bit my lip, asking for entrance and I granted it. There was no use in fighting for domninance, so I've learned, so I just let him controll the kiss as his hand caressed my backside and, if possible, pull me closer to him. I was just about to pull away, to get back to work, when I heard someone's throat being cleared.

Chris and I jumped apart to see who had interrupted us. Sara and Eli stood there. Sara held a disaproving look, while Eli had a look of evil glee. I had no doubt in my mind she told on us. Sara crossed her arms and took a step forward.

"Both of you, my office, NOW!" she said, her voice escalating with each word she said. I hung my head as I followed Chris and Sara to the elevator. When I passed Eli, I heard her mutter "whore." Despite the situation I was in, I couldn't help but come back with "bitch". I heard Chris chuckle, so I knew he heard me. Eli huffed and turned on her heel, her head in the air and went to her office.

To say the ride up to the top floor was awkward or uncomfortable, that would have been the biggest understatement of the century. You were in there with your boss/love/boyfriend and HIS BOSS/ex-lover......so yeah... That ride was fun.

Sara didn't look at us while she led us to her offfice. She pointed at the chairs in front of her while she walked around her desk and sat down. I looked at my hands while I sat down with Chris. The silence before she spoke was deafening and my heart pounded with each silent moment that passed. I dared a glance up. Sara's face was in a sneer, a look of pure hatred, disgust and a bit of longing. She looked at Chris, who held her light eyes without so much as flinching.

"YOU FUCKING IDIOT! Do you know what you've done? Sleeping with some whore that works for you, someone who's BELOW you and your stature that you've built up! Do you know what that will do to the REPUTATION OF THE FUCKING COMPANY YOU AND I BUILT FROM THE FUCKING GROUND! This is by far one of the most stupidest things you HAVE EVER DONE, FUCKING CUNT! You're lucky I've known you for most of your life, because I would have fired you the moment I began to suspect something!" she screeched at him. He didn't flinched. I opened my mouth to say something but then she turned on me.
