Faye panicked at the gesture. Her body froze as if she had been cursed. She stayed prone, not daring to move at all.

All of that happened in a flash. What should she do?

Turn him down politely? Give in, but only halfway? Or take the high road and tell him off?

All at once, a myriad of possibilities flashed through Faye’s mind.

Wilbur’s hand had already landed at her chest, picking off something by the neckline of her nightgown with a smile. “One of your hairs almost fell on the plate.”

Faye heaved a long sigh internally, relaxing at last.

She stuttered, “Sorry, Boss. M- My hair has been falling lately.”

“That’s alright,” Wilbur responded, then turned back to enjoy his plate of carbonara.

Faye stood up straight with her heart racing wildly. She did not know what to say or do next.

After taking two bites, Wilbur looked up and said, “This is pretty good. Have you eaten?”

“I… I haven’t,” Faye replied.

“Make some for yourself too. You’re a pretty good cook,” Wilbur praised again.

Faye nodded in a hurry and rushed off to the kitchen. Wilbur smiled at her retreating figure.

Very soon, Faye had made herself a plate of pasta as well. The pair sat and ate their food in silence.

After doing the dishes, Faye sat down next to Wilbur with her nightgown lifted up slightly, revealing her pale, slender thighs.

Wilbur sipped his tea. “How are things going with Woods Corporate?”

“They signed the deal earlier this afternoon.”

Faye seemed to turn into a different person when work was involved. Her tone was straightforward and blunt.

“We’ve sent them the five billion dollars, but we also sent over our people to take over most of their board of directors. We’re also a majority shareholder now. We’ll be in control of Woods Corporate in just a few days.”
