Cassey's boss is a star at work, and also a scamp who won't let her say the word 'Love'. She should have ended it then, but his sweet lips won't let her go that easily...
"Time for you to decide. What do you want should happen tonight?"

CASSEY'S POV
"I want to see you again tonight."
I collapse face down into the bed and read the text over and over and over again. I can't believe this is a text from Mr.Jones... which means, the man I was with last night.... I look at my phone's screen again, and let out a deep sigh for possibly the hundredth time.
"I want to see you again tonight... but I can't. Something came up at work. Tomorrow. My office."
That's what the text says, and it's signed Brian Jones.
...Creative Director Brian Jones.
The one everyone looks up to, who keeps hundreds of staff together like we're family... He's so high above me that it just doesn't feel real, no matter how many times I look at the text.
*Meow*
I'm sighing so much, I seem to be worrying my roommate... My roommate, Misty, gets up on the bed. She's a cat.
Cassey - *sigh*"...I feel like my head's going to explode..." *Meow!* "Misty? What do you do when you sleep with someone after having one too many drinks? And not only that, but the guy you slept with is one of the higher ups where you work... "
I vacantly scratch Misty on the chin, although it's my creative director who occupies my mind.... Mr.Jones is the one who inspired me to work at Addison & Rhodes. I mean... he doesn't know he did, but it's true. It was a single commercial for an SLR that inspired me. I had no interest in cameras, but there was a line in it that really resonated with me.
"It isn't things but memories that make you stronger..."
I was crying that night. It was the first time I'd had my heart broken. The message was gentle yet strong, and it gave me courage. I'd want to work in advertising ever since, and worked hard to make that happen... Finally, my dream came true. I work at the same company as Mr.Jones. The man who made that commercial.... And so, just the sight of Mr.Jones motivates me at work.
Cassey - "He's my hero... and he saw me drunk. Not just drunk... we slept together."
When I think about that, I want to crawl under a rock...! How am I supposed to act when I see him at work from now on?! No, it's a big office, and Mr.Jones is a busy man. Maybe I won't ever see him. I'm holding my head in my hands. Meanwhile, Misty purrs as she sleeps beside me.
Cassey - "Misty, you can't fall asleep on me! What would you do?"
Right. You don't know what I'm saying... I was so drunk last night that, no matter how hard I try, I can't remember a single thing. Not how I felt, or what Mr.Jones was like. Why did he sleep with me...? On a whim, I grab my phone and do a search for "drunk slept with boss."
