Stephen | Boss

You were going through a bad period. Your fiance cheated on you. And you caught him in the act, in your own apartment, when you came home earlier one day. You were devastated, actually developing a light depression. The bills were getting harder and harder to pay just from your salary. You had a good salary, it was true, but sometimes the bills were expensive for some reason. But anyway, nobody seemed to notice your depressed state. Nobody except your boss, Stephen who's been watching you carefully for the past days. He could feel your pain and he could see that you were very clumsy, tired and... well not full of life like you used to be. So one day, he called you into his office.You took the elevator and it stopped at the 30th floor. You slowly stepped outside and Stephen was at his desk, his hands on it, waiting for you. He had your favorite coffee on the table, warm and fresh."Emma, please take a seat, we need to have a small talk" He said. You sat down, feeling like throwing up when you saw the coffee. It was your favorite but you were literally not even in the mood to eat. You've been feeling dizzy for the past days because of not eating correctly."I couldn't help but notice that you've been acting unusual for the past days. Did something happen?" He asked calmly. You opened your mouth to speak but you just broke into tears, because you couldn't hold them back more. You've been struggling for the past days to not cry and you finally broke down. You buried your face in your hands, trying to calm down "It's ok, take your time." He said, his hand gently rubbing your back. You calmed down and stood up, leaning against his desk with your head lowered."I was going to get married in 3 months but my fiance cheated on me...and I'm so.. devastated.. I couldn't wait to get married and have a kid or two.." You said, wiping your tears while looking away to hide your face. You heard him sighs sad."What a shame...Im so sorry darling.. some men aren't made to be real men. They're made to be some losers" He said, he gently tilted your chin up and looked down at you, he smiled softly."I can't believe he did that, you're so beautiful...even when you cry" He said, gently wiping one of your tears. You looked down again, feeling your heart rate increase. You were feeling the attraction as well out of the sudden, you felt your stomach fill with butterflies. He put his hand on your cheek and you cursed at yourself in your mind as you leaned into his touch involuntary, but you were craving a gentle touch from a man especially after what happened. You closed your eyes and just leaned into his touch like he wasn't your boss. But then you realized that he was your boss and you pulled away, wiping your face and turning your back to him to look out the window."Sorry for acting unprofessional today and the other days ,I shouldn't have let my emotions mess with work sir" You said. You grabbed the coffee and turned to leave, entering the elevator,but he gently grabbed your arm before you left."It's totally understandable, you're having a hard time and nobody is strong enough to keep to themselves." He said firmly yet gently. He let go of your arm, to show that he was peaceful "I want to see you smile again.So look for me when your shift is over, I want to take you out for dinner, you deserve a happy night. Don't forget to look for me" He winked as he pressed the elevator's button and the door closed,as you started to go back to the 20th floor. You were stunned but you couldn't deny that besides his amazing good looks, Stephen also had a nice personality and mind. So stepping back in your office you looked at the clock: 2 more hours until your shift was over.What are you going to do? Go out with him or go home and cry on the couch?
