Findlay Blossom has been working for CEO Lei Andrew of 'Lei Company' for 10 years now. Lei Andrew is known as a business tycoon to everyone. But he is also famous for his good looks. Whenever women see him, they fall for his handsome appearance.
Blossom is also included in this list. But she always maintains a good professional distance from him. Recently, she decided that she wanted to quit. She went to his office and gave him the news.
Andrew's eyes snapped towards her & away from the paper in his hands. He takes a deep breath to compose himself before speaking coldly.
"No, I will not let you resign and that's final."
He looks back at his papers and she can see his jaw clenching. Blossom stands there in silence, still trying to process his refusal to allow her resignation.
Andrew lets out an irritated sigh as he glances up at her, a hint of frustration in his voice.
"I can't understand why you suddenly want to leave. You've been my secretary for years now, and everything was fine. Why change it all now?"
He tries to maintain his usual cold demeanour, but there's a slight waver in his voice that gives away his emotions.
Blossom clam herself to not get nervous about him
"Sir, I don’t want to work here anymore."
Andrew's jaw tightens at her words, and he sets his pen down on the desk with a sharp click. He turns his cold eyes back towards Blossom, his tone stern.
"I am not allowing you to leave. You are irreplaceable to me, Blossom."
He says, emphasizing her name as if it were a command. Andrew's hands are clenched in fists, revealing how much he's fighting to keep his emotions in check, but his cold demeanour starts to crack.
Blossom notices his hands which are clenched into fists
"Sir, it’s about the right time for my marriage. So, I want to get married and settle down."
She looked at his eyes while saying that.
Andrew's eyes widen a little at her words. He can't hide his surprised expression.
"What...?"
Andrew's surprise quickly turns into a mixture of anger and... hurt. He stands up from his seat and walks over to her. He stands close, close enough for the smell of cigars and whiskey to waft from his breath.
"You’re getting married? Are you serious? "
He asks, almost spitting out the words.
Blossom takes a few steps back as he comes towards her direction.
"Yes, sir. I am going through some blind dates for it."
Andrew's jaw clenches tightly, and she can see a range of emotions pass over his face.
"Blind dates? Really? And you expect me to believe that any of those pathetic suitors can make you happy?"
He asks a hint of disgust in his voice. He takes a step closer to her, closing the gap between both of them. He towers over her, his broad shoulders practically blocking her view of the room.
"I..I could treat you better."
He says quietly, his voice barely more than a whisper.
Blossom looks at him with a dumbfounded expression.
"Huh?! Why should you treat me? I am just a secretary to you."
Andrew scoffs at her response, a bitter look on his face.
"You really think you're just a secretary to me, Blossom?"
He steps even closer, so close that his chest is now inches away from hers. He leans in, his hot breath grazing her ear.
"I've held back my feelings from you for years, kept them hidden because I didn't want to scare you off. But now you're getting married to someone else. That's unacceptable."
His hot breath sent a shiver through her spine.
"S..sir! You are too close to me! A...and I am just going on blind dates."
She tries to get away from him.
Andrew doesn't let her step back. He continues to step even closer, his body now pressed against hers, trapping her against the wall.
"You think that makes it better? You're still planning on leaving me for someone else."
He leans in even more, his hands on either side of her head, his face only a few inches away from hers.
"I've wanted you...for years..." he admits in a low voice. His cold eyes are focused on her, intense and unwavering.

Blossom flustered when she heard that Andrew wants her.
"S..sir, what a..are you saying?! I am not suitable for someone l..like you!"
She shuttered while saying that to him and look away at that time.
Andrew's eyes narrow as he looks at her flustered expression. He's frustrated with how oblivious she can be sometimes. He moves a hand to gently grab her chin, making her look at him.
"Don't say that. You are more than suitable. In fact, you are the only person I have ever wanted."
He pulls her closer, his body now fully pressed against hers, leaving no space left in between.
Blossom is surprised by his sudden attitude and actions.
"Sir! Let me go! It's improper for you!"
She tried to free herself from him.
Andrew tightens his grip on her, not allowing her to escape. He shakes his head a little, his cold demeanor slowly starting to crumble under his emotions.
"No. I won't let you go."
He leans in, his voice growing softer, but also growing more desperate.
"I've watched you for years. Watched how hard you worked, how you were so kind and polite to everyone. You don't know how many times I wanted to keep you in my office and make you mine."
As he pressed her against him more, her hands rest on his chest and she looked away.
The feel of her hands resting on his chest sends a jolt of electricity through him and he lets out a small, shaky breath. He can feel her heart beating just as fast as his and he presses even closer, his body now completely molded against hers.
He leans in, his mouth inches away from her ear.
"You don't know what you do to me, Blossom."
His hot breath tickles your ear, sending another shiver down her spine.
Blossom tried to clam herself.
"Sir, let's talk about it later after the work time. Someone might come here."
Andrew shakes his head, his grip on her not loosening. He's too caught up in his emotions to care about anyone walking in.
"I don't care."
He mutters, his voice shaky as he tries to keep his composure.
"I've kept these feelings hidden for years and I can't hold back anymore."
He leans in even closer, his lips almost brushing against her neck. She can feel his hands slowly drifting lower, his fingers tracing along her waist.
Andrew can't help but continue to feel her, his hands now fully resting on her hips. He presses his body even closer, his chest now pressed firmly against hers, his heartbeat quickening as his emotions overcome him.
He takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself, but he can't seem to stop his desire from taking over. His fingers grip onto her hips as he whispers against her ear, his voice soft and husky,
"I can't wait until later. I want you now."
Blossom tries to not sway along with this sensation and keep her mind straight.
"Sir, i promise you that i am not going to resign. So, please let me go now."
Andrew is stubborn to let you go, his hold on her still strong. But her words, as well as her promise, slowly start to break down his resolve.
His expression turns slightly solemn, frustrated that he can't keep her close to him, but also relieved that she are not leaving. He presses his forehead against her temple and lets out a trembling breath.
"You're really not leaving...?"
He asks, his voice soft and almost pleading.
Blossom let a relief breath out from her mouth.
"Yes, sir. I promise you. So, let me go now."
Andrew's hold on her softens as her words finally sink in. He takes a step back, his hands slowly dropping from her hips as he lets her go.
However, his eyes remain fixed on her, a mixture of relief and lingering desire still present in his expression. He takes a moment to compose himself, running a hand through his hair as he glances away, unable to keep his gaze off her.
"Thank you...for staying."
He says, his voice still slightly hoarse. Andrew's eyes never leave her as he takes a deep breath, still trying to control the emotions running through him. He's grateful that she is staying, but he can't help the mixture of longing and desire that continues to burn within him. He glances away for a moment, trying to compose himself, but his gaze keeps drifting back to her, his heart still racing.
"I can't promise I'll be able to keep my hands off you, though."
He says in a low voice, unable to hide his honest desire. He glances back at her, and the sight of her so close to him is both gratifying and tortuous. He shakes his head slightly, struggling to keep his emotions in check.
The need to touch her, to taste her, keeps growing stronger within him, and he can barely keep his gaze off of her lips.
"You have no idea what you do to me, Blossom..."
He mutters, his voice growing more shaky, more insistent.
Blossom step back from him and started to go to her work.
"Sir, then i should go now and continue my work."
Andrew's frustration is evident on his face as she step back, his heart still racing from the intense situation.
"Wait."
He reaches out, grabbing her wrist and pulling her back towards him. He can't let her go yet, not when his emotions are still this high.
He looks down at her, his eyes filled with both desire and a hint of possessiveness.
"We need to talk. Now."
Blossom get surprised by his sudden grip on her wrist.
"Sir! We will talk later. Now many things are pilled right now."
Andrew’s eyes narrow at her protest, his grip on her wrist tightening a little.
"No. We're talking now."
His voice is firm, leaving no room for argument.
He pulls her closer, bringing her back into his chest again.
"I've waited long enough. I need to speak my mind."
As you leave the room, Andrew watches her go, his eyes still fixated on the door. He can't help but feel the intense need to follow her and have her close to him again.
Lucas looks at Andrew with concern, noticing the tension and turmoil in his boss's expression.
"Sir, are you alright?"
He asks quietly, his voice filled with worry.
Andrew snaps out of his thoughts and turns to look at Lucas, his face still stern but composed again.
"I'm fine."
He says, his voice cold and distant.
Lucas is not convinced, still seeing the turmoil in Andrew's expression, but he doesn't press the issue further. He knows better than to ask more questions at this moment.
"The meeting is in 10 minutes, sir. Should we head to the conferemce room?"
Andrew takes a deep breath to compose himself further and nods.
"Yes. Let's go to the conference room."
He starts walking towards the door, but he can't help but glance back one last time at the door where she had just exited. The need to follow her is still there, but he forces himself to look away and continue towards the conference room.
As Blossom walk away from Andrew's office, relief washes over her, glad that Lucas had interrupted when he did. The tension and desires that had been building between Blossom and Andrew had become almost unbearable, and she needed the space to compose herself.
Blossom hurry towards the conference room, trying to shake off the lingering emotions and focus on the upcoming meeting.
Andrew, on the other hand, is still struggling to keep his feelings in check. His mind is filled with thoughts of her, and it's taking all his self-control to not follow her and continue the conversation they had started.
Blossom reach the conference room and start setting up for the meeting, her mind still preoccupied with the events that had just occurred. Andrew follows closely behind, his eyes constantly flicking towards her whenever he thinks she is not looking.
Lucas glances between the two of them, noticing the lingering tension and the way Andrew's eyes follow Blossom whenever she move. He can't help but wonder what had just happened in that office.
As the meeting wraps up, the other employees leave the room, still discussing the topics that had been discussed. She quickly excuse yourself and make a hasty exit, hoping to avoid any further interaction with Andrew for now.
Andrew's eyes follow Blossom as she leave, his expression still cold and distant. He stays seated at the table, his jaw clenched as he resists the urge to follow her.

Lucas walks over to him, his eyes filled with concern. He can see the struggle and turmoil inside him.
"Sir..."
He starts, trying to get Andrew's attention.
Andrew's eyes snap to Lucas, his face still tense with frustration. He doesn't say anything, but the look in his eyes tells Lucas that he's clearly bothered by something.
Lucas takes a step closer, his voice low so as not to be overheard by the other employees still in the room.
"Sir, did something happen between you amd Blossom just now?"
Andrew stays silent for a moment, his jaw clenching even tighter. He knows he can't avoid the question, but he doesn't want to talk about it.
Finally, he lets out a frustrated sigh and nods slightly.
"Yes. Something did happen."
His voice is low and tense, the words seeming to come out through gritted teeth
Andrew's eyes darken, the frustration and desire from earlier in his office coming back to him in full force.
"It’s not what she did."
He mutters, his voice strained.
"It's what I did. I couldn’t control myself. I wanted to keep her there, keep her close to me. I didn’t care about anything or anyone else. I just wanted her."
Lucas get surprised by his statement.
Lucas is silent for a moment, taken aback by Andrew's confession. He had suspected that there was something going on between them, but he had no idea it was this intense.
"Andrew, you can't act on your feelings like that. You're her boss."
Andrew's eyes flash with irritation, and he looks back at Lucas with a cold look.
"I know. I know. But it's not that easy. These feelings, this need for her, it's driving me insane."
