Mr. Maxwell Blackwood grumbled to himself as he walked away from Anna’s office, he couldn’t understand why he got so upset at the sight of her with another guy, why did it piss him off so much? This shouldn’t be a big deal, right?
Was he being possessive? That was not his nature, he had been with so many women in the past and he didn’t give a damn who they hung out with. He only made sure to take pills for prevention of STD’s and STI’s after sexual intercourse with them, so why did he feel different in Anna’s case?
Maxwell knew that a lot of shit went down in this company, he knew most of the staff were having sex with each other and he was a strong advocate of satisfying your temptations within the confines of consent and work balance. As long as they were getting their job done, he didn’t care what they did in their offices, it never bothered him.
But his reaction today with Anna came as a surprise to him; he had felt a pain in his chest that he couldn’t describe, the moment he stepped into that door and saw her holding another guy like that, his heart dropped. He knew he shouldn’t have sounded that way with her but he just couldn’t help it.
Perhaps it was because it had come to him as a surprise. He had no idea that she was in a relationship, or maybe he just had not thought about it. Did it even matter to him? He was sleeping with her, wasn’t that all that mattered?
As he walked into his office, he sighed and took a deep breath, trying to let go of the tension and anger in his heart. He had no reason to be mad, he might have control over her body for as long as she worked here but he didn’t own her, and she didn’t owe him commitment either.
Only if he could explain why it hurt so much!

Meanwhile, Megan was super excited when Anna broke the news to her. Her schedules be damned, she was excited about the fact that Mr. Blackwood had chosen to bring her along with them. She knew for a fact that there was really no important need for her over there if Anna was going but Maxwell still chooses to bring her along.
Botswana was likened to a third world country, so it really wasn’t THE LOCATION, but the idea of being invited on a trip by the CEO meant more to her than the destination itself, he cared about her after all, and not just the work she was hired to do.
She began to think deep into it? As much as she loved the idea of enjoying such perks of the job, she wondered if there was more to Mr. Blackwood’s decision to bring her along. Was her act of seduction finally working? Was he now picking interest in her?
She had stopped wearing the sexy clothes shortly after Anna took the job because she had no other reason to entice Mr. Blackwood. Even if he picked interest in her, the job position would still belong to Anna, and back then, she had no intention of a relationship with the Boss, it was the position of Personal Assistant that she cared more for.
But now, Megan began to think about it from another point of view. It wouldn’t be bad if she got into a relationship with Mr. Blackwood, even if she doesn’t get the job, there was a lot of advantage to dating the CEO. Who cares about the salary paid to a PA when she would have access to more as his girlfriend. But was she not overthinking the whole thing? What if her invitation was just an act of kindness?

** ** Anna’s POV ** **
Back at home after the long day at work, I was sharing last night’s experience with Jenny, she seemed too invested and I couldn’t hold back sharing either. Jimmy had already left before my arrival, so it was just me and Jennifer at home.
“Good lord, I felt these crazy sparks all over me. Girl, I don’t have the words for it, but the things he did to me were just extraordinary, the way he handled my body with so much care and gentleness while still delivering a great deal of pleasure, it was great sex.” I said with dreamy eyes as I thought back to last night.
Jennifer chuckled and shook her head. “Happy for you girl, but I still don’t like him, and I don’t like the fact that you welcomed him back into your life. That guy is a walking red flag, he is too cute, he has a sweet tongue and he feels entitled to you. why can’t you see it?” she asked with spread arms
I growled at her refusal to accept Jimmy and stood up to go grab a bottle of water, Jennifer immediately following me behind. Why cant she just accept that he is back into my life and we can all move on from the past?
“I know, Jen. I agree that I shouldn’t have taken him back, but he is just so sweet, and I craved his lips, I craved his touch, I mean… He is such a good kisser.” I confessed.
“Ugh! I know that he kisses real good, I can’t blame you for wanting to experience that again, but there is always someone else that can do it and not be so full of himself.” She blurted behind me.
I giggled and grabbed bottle water from the freezer. “You are right, but I am sure things would be different this tii…” I suddenly paused on my sentence and froze, then I immediately turned back to Jenny with furrowed eyebrows. “Sorry, how did you know that he was a good kisser?” I asked as it dawned on me.
Jennifer’s expression changed immediately, her smirk was replaced by a solemn face and a bit of fear in her eyes.
