"Hey, baby?"

"Yes love?" he looks away from the road momentarily.

"What's your middle name?" I ask curiously.

"Sebastian. Why?"

"I need a nickname for you, and I can't get anything from Emilian. I think I'll call you Seb. How'd you get your first name from anyways?"

"I think I like the nickname Seb. It's cute. And my name is Romanian because my parents are very traditional," he explains.

"Well, that's interesting. Can we travel there together one day?"

"Of course love. You have to meet my family eventually," he takes my hand and kisses it, then releases it gently on my lap.

He parks in his designated parking spot and I go to leave the car, but he locks it. I turn to him to see what's wrong but I'm unexpectedly pulled into a very passionate kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and moan into the kiss and he groans in response. I slowly bite his bottom lip as I move away smirking.

"Baby you have no idea what you're doing to me right now," he says lustfully looking deep into my eyes.

I glance down at his pants, "Oh I do," I chuckle.

He tries to pull me back in, but I refuse to be late today.

"Please love, I won't be able to touch you all day," he tells me attempting to look sad.

"Oh my gosh, you're such a big baby. Come here."

I wrap my arms around him and kiss him once more, then we head up to his office separately.

As we prepare I stand up to go to the bathroom and he speaks up, "Miss Suave, where the hell did you get this dress from?" he walks towards me to pull it down. I laugh loudly because every time it's pulled down, more cleavage shows. "It's so damn short and too much of your chest is showing."

I put my hands on my waist, "Didn't you see it this morning Sir? And from what I can remember you loved it."

"Yes but we are going into a meeting for about two hours and you're going to be speaking for about a quarter of that time. Also, you're going to be in front of the room, facing away from me, basically showing me what I can't have."

"Sir, this is all yours and you know that. You don't have to worry about people looking at me because who do I leave with every day? " I cross my arms smiling.

He rolls his eyes, "Ok, you're right but, I was only talking about my eyes and how I'll feel. I wasn't even thinking of the many other men in the room, but now you've got me overthinking even more."  Jealousy is cute on him.

"Seb, relax," I tell him as I squeeze his hands. "You are going to be just fine. Ok?"

He shakes his head, "Can I get a hug before we go." I glare at him then he continues, "Please? Just for comfort."

"Fine," I say embracing him.

He pulls me in and squeezes my butt causing me to roll my eyes. I should've known it wasn't just a hug he wanted. He then whispers in my ears, "Good to know that you are aware of who you belong to."

He lets go winking at me, and as he leaves through the door he shouts, "Hurry up so we can begin Miss Suave."

I stroll to the bathroom trying to register what just happened. I just have one word: Waterfalls.

As two men walk in, Emilian greets them and makes small talk. I walk over to them and he introduces me, "Gentlemen, this is my assistant Miss Elara Suave. Miss Suave this is Leopold and Leon Wagner."

They both are handsome men who look between the age of 20-25. The man identified as Leopold gives me his complete attention smiling widely. He reaches for my hand but I refuse, not knowing how Emilian would react and I certainly did not want to touch him.

"I don't do handshakes but, nice to meet you," I wave at them both and proceed to finish setting up the laptop. I could see he was disappointed by my reaction.

After fifteen minutes of everyone socializing, Emilian tells everyone to quiet down and to turn their attention to me. "Hello everyone. My name is Elara Suave and I'll be presenting to you today..."

As I speak I can tell that their attention is not on the PowerPoint, or my face, but instead on my body. I feel a little uncomfortable under their gaze. Looking over to Emilian I can tell he is upset and I don't want him to do anything extreme.

I finish up my current slide and decide to let him finish my part. "Mr. Moldovan, if you can come up and finish the presentation." He gives a firm nod and stands up pulling my chair out for me.

When I finally sit down I let out a breath I was holding in and I look up to see some of their eyes still on me but, specifically my cleavage.

After the first part of the meeting is done, we've introduced and discussed our proposal. Emilian dismisses us for a break and they immediately disperse into separate groups to socialize.

I follow Emilian to his office and he lets me in first and locks the door. "Baby come here," he says looking at me sadly.

"Emilian I'm fine with finishing the meeting and getting it over with." I try to walk away but he speaks up, "Elara I said come here." Say less.

I sigh, walking into his extended arms and he embraces me tightly.

"I'm sorry for their behavior, you don't have to return, I'll take notes myself," he says trying to comfort me.

"Emilian no. This is my job and I'm used to it. I was just overwhelmed and needed a bit of air. We are not bringing personal feelings into this."

"Alright if that's what you want," he groans and tries to kiss me but I push his face away.

"Move Seb, you're not even supposed to be holding me right now, so you're not kissing me," I giggle.

"Dammit woman, I just want one kiss," he pleads.

I place my index finger on my chin, "Hmmm...no."

"Stop being a baby and come on," I tell him leaving the office.

The rest of the meeting goes by very quickly and the Wagners agreed to become shareholders in our company.

We are leaving his office at six-thirty which is an hour and a half later than we usually do. But, before he can open the door, we hear a voice male voice shout, "Miss Suave."

We both turn around to see Leopold jogging over to us. Why is he still here? I thought he left our ago.

I hear Emilian speak up. "Can we do anything for you, Mr. Wagner?"

"No, I just need to ask Miss Suave a question."

He stood there expecting, Emilian to move but, when doesn't budge he just l asks me, "Miss Suave, I was wondering if you would like to go out to dinner with me sometime?"

"Is this work-related?" I question, knowing damn well it wasn't.

He clears his throat, "Um no, not quite," he opens his mouth to speak again. But I put my hand up stopping him.

"Then we have no reason to go out," I enter the car to hear him mumble, "fat bit-." Then Emilian steps in, "I wouldn't finish that statement if I were you. Good night Mr. Wagner and I pray the next time we see you, there's an apology ready for her. For your sake."

Emilian then gets into the car and slams the door shut. I hold his hand, "Calm down Seb, I'm good."

He kisses my hand, "I know you are. I don't know how because I'm definitely not ok with that," he tells me driving off.

I say a soft, "ok."

"I forgot to tell you but, we have to leave early because my brother can't be left in charge for too long before screwing things up. Are you ok with that?" he asks worried.

"Yes, that's fine. It's your decision so, I'm not going to disagree with you," I respond with a genuine smile.

"It's just that I know you wanted to explore a bit more and you won't get the chance to fully do that."

"It's ok, we can always come back one day," I assure him.
