Searching

"There once was a wolf who loved a bat. This wolf would go to the bat's house to play with it every day. But because of the rules on the new world that the wolves had created, bats weren't allowed to have interaction with wolves unless if it was for business. So, with time, the bat and wolf got separated, but their love for one another never disappeared." The thud of the book closing shut surprises my secretary, making her blink a few times.

"That's a new story....and quite a short one too...Can't say I fully understand the meaning," she mumbles, her eyebrows scrunching forward.

"C'mon! I worked so hard on this!!" My lower lip pops out as I pout at her.

"Oh, so you came up with it Mr. Stephan?"
"Yup, that's why it'll become a popular book. It'll probably be the sexiest book alive once it comes out."
"Ah-ha," she rolls her eyes, her other 'side' showing.
"I'm serious! It'll be called 'The Sexy Wolf and His Mistress'. What do ya think?"

Now she looked at me suspiciously, an eyebrow raised. Her blue eyes scanned my face for an answer to whatever her question may be. "Sir, by any chance, is this book based off of your life?"

"Wha-What makes you think that?"

" 'The Sexy Wolf'...?"

I smirk and lean close to her face, "Thank you for thinking that I'm the only sexy wolf in the world, but I think your hubby will get jealous if he finds out." Her face flushes crimson. She gets up and walks out of the room, fuming and stomping all the way out as I laugh at her.
