It hasn't been easy, pushing Laura from my mind after everything that happened. At first, I thought the workload at the office would be enough to distract me. The mountain of contracts, meetings, and deals that needed closing kept me buried for the better part of the week, but that didn't stop her from creeping into my thoughts when I least expected it.
It wasn't just the sex. It was the way she looked at me after, like I had shattered something fragile between us. I told myself it was for the best. I was her boss, and that alone made what happened a mistake. No matter how much I tried to rationalize it, though, I couldn't shake the image of her walking away, the hurt in her eyes that I tried to ignore.
