Chapter 6 TRUST

Chapter 6 TRUST
The day unfolded in its usual manner, filled with activities that demanded my constant attention. I ran from one task to another, busy formalizing new contracts, scouting potential literary talents, analyzing works, reviewing development charts, and implementing training sessions, all while outlining the agenda for the day's closure and dictating how operations should be conducted.

Every time I entered the CEO's office, I was met with his tired gaze, sighing with each new batch of documents for his signature. His day, much like mine, had been marked by an intense series of shareholder meetings, partnership negotiations, and interactions with the film industry, among other commitments.

“These papers seem never-ending!” he grumbled, looking at the freshly delivered documents and signing them.

“You should read them,” I replied, squinting.

“Have you read and evaluated them?” Arching his eyebrows, Patrik turned to me. “Do you think I should sign?”

“Well... I've read them all, but I don't think you should sign this last one!” I bit my lip timidly. “But that decision lies with the CEO; I'm just a secretary.”

“Stop underestimating yourself,” he said seductively. “I trust your judgment. Explain to me why I shouldn't form a partnership with Eco's Queen Industries?”

“It means a lot to me, sir!” I smiled happily at the professional recognition. “I evaluated the company, gathering data from recent years. The industry doesn't have a good reputation for how it treats its employees, is involved in numerous legal proceedings, and, on top of that, is not known for being punctual with payments!”

“Interesting. Do you have the data to present to me?” Running his hand over his well-groomed, short beard, he looked at me serenely.

“Of course, here you go, sir!” I handed him my research base, which supported my claims.

“As always, Ms. Lis, impeccable work.” Patrik smiled charmingly. “I agree with your assessments. Send the rejection email without the need for explanations.”

I nodded, ready to leave, when I heard him clear his throat, forcing me to turn my body in his direction.

“I hope to see this performance in your chapters today, Ms. Lis.” He teased, leaving me blushing.

I quickly left the room, and it didn't take long for the business day to come to an end. As I organized my things, ready to leave discreetly, I looked up and saw him at the counter, tapping his fingers impatiently.

“Going somewhere?” He raised an eyebrow.

“If you don't mind, Mr. Patrik, I'd like to go home. I need to do some activities for my course.” I shrugged, gathering the papers on the table.

“I do mind!” The CEO walked around the counter, pulling my wheeled chair. “Your main training is with me, Miss!”

“With all due respect, sir, I don't agree with that.” I kept my eyes firmly on his.

“With all due respect, Ms. Lis, I don't remember asking for your permission for this training!” He smiled, moving away, grabbing my notebook, and heading to his office.

I took a deep breath, trying to contain the anger that was exploding in my chest. This was going too far.

“I'm waiting for you.” He shouted from his office, amused.

I grabbed my agenda, pressing my face into it to muffle the scream of anger that wanted to escape my lips.

“Arrgh!” I lifted my face from the agenda, took a deep breath, and fixed my hair. “Breathe; soon he will lose interest in your story. I just need to find one that captivates him.”

I spoke determinedly, walking to his office. The CEO was sitting relaxed in his armchair, and he indicated the chair in front for me to sit in. He had opened a bottle of wine, pouring it into two glasses and placing one in front of me.

“Thank you, but I don't drink during working hours!” I said politely.

“Technically, we are outside your working hours, extending into your overtime, and—” Smiling boldly, Patrik took a sip of his drink, keeping his eyes firmly on me. “I am your boss, and I'm telling you that I allow you to drink.”

I sighed, bringing the glass to my lips and enjoying a sip of the wine, which turned out to be remarkably sweet and smooth. I would dare say it was one of the best wines I had ever tasted in my life.

“Delicious,” I commented, savoring a bit more.

“Very delicious.” There was a hint of mischief in Patrick's voice. “So, about your characters' bath, do you know where you went wrong?”

I almost spit out the liquid at his direct approach.

“Well...” I cleared my throat, almost choked, and ran my hand over my lips to dry them. “I'm sorry, sir; I haven't had time to evaluate yet.”

“What a shame… Then, let me show you where you made mistakes!” In a skillful movement, the CEO came towards me, taking the glass from my hands with a crooked smile on his lips.

As he pushed me, he lay me on the office couch, evaluating my whole body. The tension was palpable, and I felt exposed to his gaze.

“During the bath, your character was biting the woman's exposed skin while handling a mere finger in her intimacy.” Shaking his head, Patrik smiled wickedly. “Ms. Lis, that's not enough; not even the contact was deep enough.”

Pulling down my pencil skirt, I was left only with lingerie. Luckily, my touch was extensive enough to match everything. Ripping off my white dress shirt, his eyes were predatory; the glint of admiration was something new to me.

“Before biting such sensitive skin, we should savor it with kisses and the tongue, Ms. Lis, like this!” Patrik positioned his tongue at the tip of my ear, trailing down my neck, where he began to give light pecks with gentle bites. “Then we bite. Do you feel this shiver? Do you need to feel my mouth on your screaming points?”

I sighed, biting my lips, being quiet, and nodding my head. I was blushing, but I couldn't deny that I was enjoying his touches.

“You have beautiful breasts,” he whispered, opening the front-clasp bra, his eyes gleamed in awe. “Gorgeous!”

Tracing with his tongue, he passed over the peak before engulfing it hungrily. His other hand squeezed the free breast, massaging it sensually. I moaned, making him lift his head, smile wickedly, and work on the other breast; his suckling was voracious!

“Mr. Patrik... I, I think I got it!” I bit my lips harder, trying to contain the moans, but he held me in place.

“We are at the beginning of the journey, Ms. Lis; do not disrupt the lesson!” Speaking seductively, the CEO returned his lips to my breasts, where he bit the side. I crossed my legs, feeling the excitement pulsate. “Do not close your legs, Miss; let your desire throb; that's what we want.”
