"Kiara, I was thinking....." Erica barged into the office without knocking and what met her eyes left her shock "wha...what the....."
Erica entered the office without knocking and was taken aback by what she saw.
She was at a loss for words and couldn't complete her sentence.
After a moment of shock, she regained her composure and looked at Kiara and the bartender, still unsure of what to say.
Eventually, she decided to leave the room, saying that she needed to excuse herself.
As soon as Erica reached her car, she was consumed by confusion and wondered what had just occurred.
She was still in disbelief and unsure if her eyes were playing tricks on her, so she rubbed them and pinched herself to ensure she wasn't dreaming.
Erica was certain that what she saw was genuine and not a figment of her imagination.
Kiara had never felt so embarrassed in her entire life, and she was uncertain whether to contact Erica or not.
Given that Erica had caught them in the act of undressing each other in Kiara's office, it was already late.
Both Kiara and the bartender were at a loss for words and stood there, staring at each other, unwilling to break the tense silence that hung between them.
Kiara took a deep breath and prepared to break the silence, but the bartender interrupted her with a stuttering attempt to speak.
He struggled to articulate his thoughts, eventually managing to say, "Um... I'm sorry about what just occurred."
Kiara remained speechless, processing her own words in her head, as the bartender had already apologized.
Kiara rose from her desk and took a seat on the sofa before addressing the bartender. "You need to leave," she told him.
He didn't question her sudden request, replying with a simple "Okay..." before walking towards the door and turning the knob.
As he prepared to depart, he turned back to face Kiara and said, "I enjoyed the kiss."
These were the last words he spoke before leaving the office, leaving Kiara alone to ponder what had just occurred.
Kiara grabbed the pillow beside her and buried her face in it, letting out a frustrated groan.
"I'm so embarrassed," she muttered to herself, tossing the pillow aside.
Kiara couldn't comprehend how Erica had managed to enter her office without her noticing.
She had so many questions for the bartender, but she had sent him away without even asking him why he had come to her office in the first place.
"He must have had a reason for coming here," she thought to herself, smacking her forehead in frustration.
She was annoyed with herself for not being able to handle the situation more smoothly.
Kiara found it impossible to concentrate any longer, so she packed up her belongings and left the office.
As she drove home, she mulled over what she was going to tell Erica about the incident that had taken place earlier that day.
Meanwhile, Erica was upstairs in her house when she heard Kiara's car horn sounding outside.
She rushed to the window and peeked out, catching sight of Kiara stepping out of her car.
Erica wondered what had happened to make Kiara leave work early and if everything was alright.
Erica settled into a chair facing the door and crossed her legs, sipping on her juice as she waited for Kiara to arrive.
Kiara approached the door cautiously, peering inside to see if Erica was present before entering the room.
To her surprise, Erica was waiting for her, glaring at her with a fierce expression.
"Young lady, get in here," she demanded, leaving Kiara with no choice but to comply and step inside.
Kiara entered the room, dragging her feet and placing her bag on the dressing table.
She turned to face Erica, who was watching her every move intently.
Kiara began to speak, but Erica cut her off, asking her if she had even been asked a question yet.
Kiara was taken aback and stumbled over her words, unsure of what to say to Erica.
She nervously bit her lip, trying to come up with a response to Erica's intimidating gaze.
Despite her unease, Erica seemed to be holding back laughter at Kiara's flustered state.
Kiara attempted to explain what had happened earlier, but Erica interrupted her once again with a snarky response.
Despite her interest in hearing the explanation, Erica decided to play it cool and act disinterested.
Kiara pleaded with her to listen, and Erica couldn't help but chuckle at her friend's persistence.
Finally, Erica responded with a question of her own, leaving Kiara waiting anxiously for her reply.
The tension in the room was palpable as Erica considered whether or not to hear Kiara out.
Erica wants to know what happened, but she also wants to act stubborn.
Both Kiara and Erica stare at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.
Kiara breaks the silence and begins to explain, but Erica interrupts her.
Kiara becomes irritated and asks Erica to let her enjoy her life. She takes off her dress while talking to Erica.
Erica joked about Kiara being possessed by the guy they were discussing, causing both of them to laugh and forget about their argument.
Erica then asked Kiara about the incident that happened in the office, despite pretending not to want to know earlier.
Kiara observed Erica's excitement and wondered why she was acting like it was good news but still, she decided to tell her what happened and how she and the bartender ended up in that state.
