Tempting my CEO

Hudson

I had arrived at the magazine, and the moment I stepped out of the elevator, I found my eyes going towards Avalyn’s desk, but she wasn’t there. Hmm, I wonder where she is. Maybe she is in Kate’s office or doing something somewhere else in the building. My main reason for coming here was to see Avalyn. I sighed, heading to Kate’s office. I should have contacted her like I said I would, but my day got busy, and I didn’t have the time.

“Hello again, Hudson,” She smiles.

“Good afternoon, Kate,” I smile back.

“I hate to do this, but I am expecting a call any minute. You could sit in if you like, or you can grab some food from our break room. I brought in home-baked chocolate chip cookies,” She smiles.

“Oh, yes, I will go and do that. You make the best cookies, next to my mother,” I smile.

Kate laughed, knowing I would rush off to get some if there were any left. I headed to the break room and stepped in, but just as I was about to turn the corner to where the central part is, I hear a familiar voice talking.

Avalyn.

“You should go for it. No one has to know,” I hear another voice giggle.

“No! He is the CEO, for crying out loud! Do you know how much trouble that could get me in? I could lose my job,” Avalyn said, “And he isn’t interested in someone like me, no matter if it seems like he is interested,” She added.

I know I shouldn’t be listening to their conversation, but I was curious now. Why does she sound so adamant that I wouldn’t be interested in her? I think I have proven to her the last couple of days that I was interested. She did have a point. She could lose her job if she got involved with me.

“But you are attracted to him, right?” She asked.

“Obviously! Have you seen him? He is too damn good-looking for his own good,” Avalyn laughs.

“So, if he weren’t the CEO, you would fuck him?” Her friend asked.

“Abby!” Avalyn gasps, “But, yes, who wouldn’t?” She added in.

interested by the second. I should probably stop listening and announce that I am there. I didn’t need to hear her say she was attracted to me. I knew that anyway. I waited a moment, hoping they would change the subject. I am sure if I walk in when they are talking about me, it will make Avalyn get embarrassed.
