Kelvin felt a strange mix of emotions after Selena rejected him. Smirking, he teased, "Do you want me to say you belong to me instead?"
Selena, nervous, gulped and replied, "No, I don't belong to you or anyone. I'm not your woman." Avoiding his gaze, she added, "You're just my boss. I'm sorry if I did something to make you angry." She walked to her room, ascending the stairs.
Left alone on the couch, Kelvin couldn't shake off the unfamiliar unease. A woman's words had never affected him like this. As Selena disappeared from his view, he leaned back, rested his head on the couch, and closed his eyes.
Selena's heart raced as she ascended the stairs to her room, the pounding beats echoing in her ears. Entering her room, she shut the door and leaned against it, hands on her chest. Closing her eyes, she tried to calm her racing heart.
