It's noon and Seb is still sleeping so, I decided to make lunch for both of us. I just made something simple, simple salmon and asparagus.

As I place the drinks, I hear the bedroom door open and he walks out mumbling, "Good afternoon, love."

"Good afternoon, baby. How did you sleep?"

"Amazing until you left."

I giggle, "You don't need me to have an amazing sleep, Seb."

"Trust me, baby, I do," he hugs me from behind.

"Are you hungry?"

"Mhm," he tilts my head so he can kiss me. "You look gorgeous," he compliments my outfit. I'm wearing a brown two-piece fitted skirt and top.

"Thank you," I peck his lips and gently push him towards the door, "And you need a shower."

"Really? Do I smell bad?"

"Nope. I just prefer you clean."

"Wowww," he drags out.

"I love you," I blow him a kiss and he shakes his head as walks to the bathroom.

Suddenly, my phone rings and I answer it, seeing that it's Isa.

"Hey, Isa. Is everything alright at the office?"

"Um, kinda except Zara hasn't been to work in a while and she's not responding to any of my emails."

"I haven't been able to contact her either. When I'm back, I might visit her home and see if everything's ok. There's not much we can do about it, other than looking for a replacement."

"Okay, and do you want me to interview them or should I wait until you return."

"You can do it. I trust you will pick someone perfect for the job. Is that all?"

"I wanted to tell Mr. Moldovan but I wasn't sure how he would react so, I think you should pass on this information."

I furrow my eyebrows, "Ok? What is it?"

"Wren has been telling all the employees that Mr. Moldovan threatened to kill her or hurt her because she refused to be his date to the event. Then Paige and Carla decided to send screenshots of messages between him and Wren around the office."

"What the hell?! Do people believe them?"

"Unfortunately, yes." This would be so bad for the company if this gets out and it can be so much worse for Emilian.

"Okay, I'm going to discuss this with him and if we need any more information, we'll contact you. Thank you so much, Isa."

"Your welcome, good luck and continue to enjoy your trip!"

Okay, let's solve one problem at a time. I message Zara again for the 4th time in the past two weeks and still no answer. Maybe she got a new number. I hope Liam has nothing to do with this.

"Why do you look so worried, what's up?" I turn to see Emilian walking towards me with grey joggers and no shirt. Every time I see this man shirtless, his muscles appear to be bigger and more defined. Thank you, Lord for the gym!

"Um, yeah I have to talk to you about something."

He's immediately worried and asks, "Is it something to do with us?"

"No baby, we're fine."

"Ok good, what is it?"

"I'll tell you after you eat because your food is getting cold."

"Mhm, ok. Lips."

I peck his lips and try to quickly walk away but he swiftly turns me around and picks me up, causing me to wrap my arms and legs around him.

His lips come in full force and I immediately lean a bit more into the heated kiss. His hands are holding a handful of my butt, squeezing it hard and I moan softly, "Seb."

The kiss begins to slow down and he finishes off slowly with a long sensual kiss. I blush, averting my eyes from him.

"Oh, so I'm making you nervous?" he chuckles and kisses my lips once more.

"Put me down," I smile. I am placed in front of him but he keeps me close to him. His muscular physique makes me feel so small, along with the fact that I have to literally tilt my head up to look at him.

"Why are you nervous baby?"

"Because," I look to the floor blushing.

"Look at me," he tilts my head back. "Because what?"

"You look and smell good right now and I'm trying to keep my hands to myself."

"Baby, you know I can never keep my hands off of you so I don't care if you're touchy, clingy, or whatever. I'm all yours baby."

"I know."

"Then act like it," he smirks and pulls me closer.

"You need to behave," I giggle and slide my hands up his chest and behind his neck.

He groans and kisses my cheek multiple times. "I love you baby and I don't want you to be shy with me, okay?"

"Yes Seb, I understand."

"Good," he kisses my forehead and goes to eat his food.

"I'm going to eat in the room."

"Why?" he asks as he stuffs his mouth with asparagus.

I shrug, "I don't know."

"Sit with me." I take the seat next to him and he takes my hand. I use my other hand to scroll through TikTok and the first video that pops up is of a baby girl choosing her outfit.

"Awwww. Baby, isn't this adorable?" I show him the video.

"Mhm."

"Are you even looking?"

"Yes, it's a baby with clothes," he answers.

I roll my eyes and continue to scroll.

"Are you going to eat?" he asks.

"Yeah," I respond, still looking at my phone.

He sucks his teeth, "Come here, woman." He places me on his lap.

"Can you at least take a bite of food so I know you're good" I roll my eyes and eat a piece of salmon. "You've been a little bold lately with this attitude. Fix it," he tells me.

"I have my reasons."

"Is it your period?" he asks boldly.

My eyes widen and I giggle, "Yes, but really Seb? You had to say it like that?"

"Well, how else do you want me to say it?"

"Something like, 'Is it that time of the month?' That's more subtle."

"I'm a man baby, I understand. Did you need anything? Pads? Tampons? Pain-killers?"

I raise an eyebrow, "How do you know about pads and tampons?"

"My mom taught me," he brings a fork full of food to his lips.

"You asked your mom about periods?"

"Of course. I needed to know in case of emergencies and I wanted to know what would make you feel better."

"You bought stuff?!" I ask surprised. Damn, my man is putting in that effort.

"Mhm, but I left them at home. I'll buy everything you need when I go out tonight."

"Baby, it's fine, I was planning on going out today."

"Alone?"

"Yeah, I wanted to explore a bit."

"Can you at least wait until tomorrow when I can take you or maybe take my sister with you? I do not want you out there all alone."

He's right I'm in a foreign country, with no clue on where to go or how the people would act towards me. Plus, I haven't been out in public much since I got here.

"Okay, well, I got cute for nothing."

"We're kinda on a date right now, so maybe it's not a complete waste." He feeds me a bit of asparagus.

I smile and ask, "A date where you're shirtless and in joggers?"

"Am I hearing complaints?"

"Definitely not," I peck his lips.

"Mhm, that's what I thought. Where's your orange juice?"

"I finished the last of it yesterday," I pout.

"Damn girl, I didn't even get any."

"Oops," I cover my mouth. "Oh! I almost forgot to tell you about what happened at work. Do you want the bad news or the even worse news first?"

"Bad."

"Zara's not responding to any of our emails or my messages so I told Isa to interview people so that there's someone to replace her temporarily."

"Find someone to replace her permanently. I don't need someone like that in my company. If something else is going on, we'll need a replacement regardless. Easy solution, baby. What's the other news?"

I explain everything Isa told me, trying not to miss any details.

"When was this?" he asks way too calm.

"Today."

"Inform my pilot I need a flight back to New York for tomorrow."

"Wait, no. Can you explain why she even made these claims?"

"I threatened her to get out of my office because she insulted you after I refused to go to the charity event with her."

"So? That day when she was frantically running out of your office, that's what happened?"

"Yup."

"And you claimed it was nothing?"

"Yes but baby, please don't be upset. At that time I thought it was the best thing to say."

"I'm not mad. Just disappointed that you didn't tell me the truth. Anyways, back to the situation at hand. What are we going to do?"

"You already did what you could. I got it from here."

"Seb, I don't need you killing anyone. If she disappears, it will look worse. I'll try to prevent this from getting out of the company but I need you to control yourself. Don't be getting all trigger happy."

"Baby, I have to take care of this."

"How?"

"I don't want to talk about this stuff with you, love," he tells me.

"You don't have to do anything extreme, baby. We'll just fire her and make an example out of her."

"Any suggestions on how we could do that?"

"I have not gotten that far yet, but I'll come back to you when I think of something substantial.

"Don't worry about it."

"You can't go to court right? You know, with being a criminal and all."

"Love, I can walk in a police station full of officers and they'll follow my commands."

"Oh really?"

"In some parts of the world, yeah."

"World? I thought you said you were in a small gang."

"I told you all I could," he kisses me. "And I'll tell you more eventually."

"Alright, I trust that you would."

"What do you plan on doing while I'm gone?"

"Finish my food, unpack, work, and maybe read."

"Sounds good. Also, Leona asked to come over but I didn't want to put the pressure of babysitting onto you."

"Seb, I don't mind spending time with her. Maybe we can have a little sleepover."

"Nope," he stands. "My mother isn't going to let her stay over because she has school and other extracurricular activities."

"Ok then, we can spend Saturday together."

"Can I come along?"

"If you want," I shrug.

"I'll let her know. I'm going to head out now." He goes into the bedroom and exits five minutes later with a long sleeve turtle neck, gold jewelry, and his hair is combed neatly.

"Do you need dinner when you return?" I ask.

"I don't think so. Text me everything you need from the store, I'll stop for them on my way back."

"Will do. Bye, I love you." I hug him and he kisses me on the forehead.

"I love you too," he tells me, walking out and shutting the door behind him.
