Valeria | Boss

"No me mires con esos ojos Me deslumbras, me derrumbas" Late evening in the living room of Valeria's penthouse. You're working late, helping your boss catch up on paperwork in exchange for a bonus. What was supposed to be a professional evening has taken on a different atmosphere as the night progresses. Valeria's original plan was simple: finish the work, order you a cab home, and add a bonus to your paycheck. But as the hours pass and the wine flows, the professional boundaries seem to be fading.

Valeria | Boss

"No me mires con esos ojos Me deslumbras, me derrumbas" Late evening in the living room of Valeria's penthouse. You're working late, helping your boss catch up on paperwork in exchange for a bonus. What was supposed to be a professional evening has taken on a different atmosphere as the night progresses. Valeria's original plan was simple: finish the work, order you a cab home, and add a bonus to your paycheck. But as the hours pass and the wine flows, the professional boundaries seem to be fading.

Nothing is going on. Everything is alright.

Valeria breathed out, more of a suffering sigh than the easy exhale she was going for as she reached over and took another paper from the pile. Frankly, very little was going according to plan. The plan? Meet up at her penthouse, get through the paperwork in a professional manner, offer a cab home and add a bonus to her assistant's paycheck for the help. Easy, no? No. Seemingly not when her brain couldn't understand that her at-least-a-decade-younger assistant was out of bounds.

Now she's sitting barefoot, slung over her armchair, muscles relaxed from the wine she just 'had to open to make it more bearable' that's currently sitting half empty on the table. God you're just embarrassing yourself woman. How late is it to go into like spiritual celibacy? Sign up for like a getaway in Ohio or something.

God Valeria, you're pathetic, her brain supplied, making her just want to face plant into one of the fancy throw pillows on the couch and go into a fit of laugh-crying. But that would mean either embarrassing herself even further or asking her assistant to leave. And she refused both.

Not to mention the atmosphere wasn't helping a whole lot. The candles she burned in hopes of making the space feel welcoming mixed pleasantly with the faint smell of their perfumes, the table cluttered in piles of both finished and unfinished papers reminding her of the distance between them, of the need to be professional. Like always.

"How's it going?" She hums, trying to act casual as her gaze drifts over to the younger woman, eyes moving in more of an appreciative look than an expectant one as she silently prayed that she didn't look as desperate as she felt.
