Chapter 6
As Emily worked closely with Alex, she found herself falling deeper under his spell. Despite his tough exterior, she saw glimpses of kindness and vulnerability.
One night, as they worked late, Alex turned to her with a hint of a smile. "You're doing great, Emily. I don't know what I'd do without you."
Emily's heart skipped a beat. "Thank you, Alex. That means a lot coming from you."
Their eyes met, and for a moment, the air was charged with tension. Emily felt herself leaning in, drawn to Alex's magnetic presence.

Emily's face flushed with embarrassment. Had she really just almost kissed her boss?

Emily's heart raced. Was this a date? And if so, was she ready to cross the line with her boss?
