The next day at work. Raymond was surprised to see his brother, Mikaela didn't know he had a brother.
"And who is this beauty with you?" He asked with a devilish smile.
"She is my secretary, and stay away from anything that is mine." From the way they talked Mikaela could figure out they aren't close at all.
"Dad is asking about you and our little sister." She could see the rage in his eyes the moment he mentioned their father.
He turned to Mikaela. "I am Lucas don't mind my brother, he don't want to introduce you to me." He stretched his hand for a handshake.
Mikaela knew they were in public the right thing to do is to accept his hand, the moment she accepted the handshake, he didn't want to let go of her hand.
"You are very beautiful, Raymond here wouldn't value you, come work for me and I will pay you thrice of what he is paying you." Raymond got more angry and wanted to pounce on him when Mikaela held his hand.
"Mr Williams, I like where I work it does not matter how much you want to pay me." Raymond didn't know what happened but he calmed down the moment she touched him.
He walked to the bar and ordered an entire bottle. "Sir you have drank enough, please we are in public." He laughed as she said publicly.
He was about to drink another glass when she snatched the bottle and drank it. She wasn't a drinker, she could count the number of times she had had alcohol.
She repeated it three times before he gave up. "Come I will drop you home." The party was already boring cause Lucas was there.
The driver started the engine, and they both sat in the back seat. "Mr Will, are you angry?" He sighed.
"Shut up you are drunk." She touched his face with her palm.
"You are so cute." She got up and sat on his lap, Raymond was shocked by her action.
"Mikaela, what are you doing?" She kissed him before he could react, he was kissing her back one of his hand moved to her ass why the other one cupped her bre*st.
She moaned out, and the driver pulled over. "Sir we are here." He felt like cursing the driver.
The driver open the door for them." I don't wanna go home." She throw her hand around his neck kissing again in front of the driver.
As they stepped out of the car, Mikaela stumbled and almost fell, but Raymond caught her. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with concern. She nodded, still dazed from the alcohol. The twins, Adrian and Adriana, were waiting at the door, looking worried. "Big sis, what happened to you?" Adrian asked, rushing to her side. "I'm fine, little brother," she replied, trying to smile.
" Can I come in and take her to her room first?" Adrian led the way.
"Handsome uncle are you big sister boyfriend, I would really like you to be my brother in law." Adriana said.
" I am her boss not her boyfriend." Adrian open the door, Raymond was surprised to see her room. Her clothes were scattered around the couch and bed, books were on the floor even her bra.
Raymond put her to bed, he was about to leave when she held him back. "Please stay." She fell asleep again.
"Don't worry handsome uncle, you will marry my sister and become her boss and boyfriend." Raymond was amused by the little girl.
" How did my sister get drunk?" Adrian asked like a detective.
" She got drunk at a party little man, can you call someone to get her out of her dress, I will leave now." Adrian walked him to the door.
" Bye, uncle." Adriana waved at him, and he waved back before getting into the car.
He drove away, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that something had changed between him and Mikaela. He wondered if he had misread the situation, if there was more to their relationship than just boss and secretary. The kiss they shared still lingered in his mind, and he found himself thinking about her more and more.
Adrian called Olivia with Mikaela's phone. Olivia rushed to their house and helped Mikaela get out of the heavy dress.
"You two should go to sleep, I will put you in bed." She offered the twins.
"Don't worry Auntie Olivia, we are not little children we can go to bed our self Good night." He led the way to their room.
Olivia was amused by how mature Adrian was, she was still thinking about it when she heard the doorbell.
She rushed to see who it was to her surprise it was Jason. "Hi sorry to disturb you, is Raymond here, I got a call from the driver that he was drinking, when I got to the party he was not there anymore." He explained, but Olivia just kept stirring at him. He noticed she was lost in thoughts. "Hello are you listening." He brought her back to reality.
"Oh yes, what were you saying?" He explained again from the start.
"According to Adrian, Raymond Williams was here he dropped Mika and left with his driver." She said.
"Ok I will leave now sorry for disturbing you." He was about to leave when she stopped him.
" You can come in for a glass of water or I can make good ramen." She was trying to start a conversation with him.
" Maybe next time Miss, I will leave now." He walked to his car and she ran after him.
" Can I at least get your number?" She knew he heard her but he still drove off.
Mikaela woke up with a headache. "My head is on fire." She groaned as she got down from the bed.
She found herself in a comfortable pair of PJs, just then Olivia walked in. "You are awake drunkard." She passed her a concoction.
"Who changed my dress?" She asked.
"Your boss Raymond Williams did," Olivia answered.
Mikaela's eyes widened in surprise. "What? How did he...?" she trailed off, trying to remember the events of the previous night. Olivia filled her in on what had happened, including Raymond's visit and Jason's subsequent arrival. Mikaela listened, still trying to piece together the fragments of her memories.*
As she drank the concoction, Mikaela couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. She was grateful to Raymond for taking care of her, but also felt a sense of unease about what might have happened between them. She knew she had kissed him, but what else had transpired? The uncertainty was driving her crazy.
Olivia noticed Mikaela's distress and sat down beside her. "Hey, are you okay? You look a bit shaken," she said, concern etched on her face. Mikaela nodded, trying to reassure her that she was fine.
But deep down, she knew she wasn't. She was still trying to process the events of the previous night and figure out what they meant for her relationship with her Boss.
