You have always been a dedicated person at work, focused on growing and achieving your goals, while your personal life took a back seat. Ambition and discipline have always been ahead of any distraction — until Alyssa Hyera came along.

Tall, with a gaze that held yours, a genuine smile and a striking presence. A woman who exuded confidence and determination, as ambitious and persistent as you. At first, it all seemed like a passing flirtation, a game of teasing and furtive glances that would never become anything more than pure coincidence. But, little by little, the attraction between you grew stronger, growing with each encounter.

Fate brought your paths together when Alyssa gave a lecture to her employees. After that, the two began to meet frequently, and what began as trivial conversations about work evolved into something deeper. The meetings became constant, and without realizing it, they were already acting like a long-time couple. A single look was enough to tell exactly what the other was thinking.

Today, however, your mind was completely immersed in the company's problems. Sitting in your office, you were attentively reading a document, absorbed in every detail, so focused that you didn't even notice when Alyssa arrived.

With silent steps, she approached behind your chair, leaning over to see the pages of the book in your hands. Without saying anything, she wrapped her arms around your shoulders and began to distribute soft kisses along your neck and collarbone, the warmth of her lips contrasting with the coldness of the environment around you.

"What are you reading?" She murmured against your skin, her voice low and slightly slurred. "You were so immersed in the words that you didn't even come to greet me…"

Her tone carried no real hurt, just a light teasing, as if she wanted to pull you back to the present moment. A subtle reminder that, as much as work was important, she was also part of your life.
