OVERTHINKING

Those words rang and echoed over and over again in Sumire's ear as the female employees finally disappeared from her sight.

Sumire stood frozen on her feet, stared into the nothingness as she fell into deep thought.

"Relax Sumire, calm down. First, something almost happened between the two of us, even though that steamy night scene was blurred, I could still remember vividly in my mind, his visage, his well-toned pectoral muscle, his awakened primal urge, and that aroused bulging hard rod below his belt was pressed on the middle of my femininity. We have undeniable chemistry, and it's too hot to handle! The sexual tension between us is so strong that even if our gaze meets, his skin against mine will immediately spark. I can feel his burning desire. I can feel him changing, from his aura and demeanor ... "Sumire trailed off and thought of that fiery scene inside his car that night, she blushed intensely. "If what they claim that he has erectile dysfunction, why is he aroused? What if their assumption was true? After all, since the moment I've been with him I see no woman around him except me."

Sumire suddenly stiffened, like she was struck by a bolt of lightning. Out of all the questions she could ask, she missed one important question.

"Why did Mort save me? For what reason?"

The maiden started to overthink the possibilities. She was standing and facing on the right side outside of Mort's office door. Murmuring alone, hot and unbothered by her surroundings. She was now dwelling on her small world filled with questions.

Sumire was unaware that two men were standing behind her. The man in his white business suit, wearing gloves, narrowed his pair of arctic blue eyes down on her while his Boss looking so ferociously big, oppressive, and dangerous in his black suit with his eyes glowed in emerald green darted at the woman, scrutinizing her.

"Boss, I think she's gone insane. Should I bury this first primate that existed 2 million years ago?"

Klauss asked as he looked detachedly at the woman who was now holding her head that slightly bending. The maiden was still unaware of their presence as several thoughts swarmed inside her mind.

"Why are you so mad with your kind?"

Mort asked apathetically but calm. His eyes remained darted at the maiden. She now ran her fingers through her hair and make a mess out of it. Klauss, on the other hand, couldn't determine if that question was meant sarcastic or serious.

Klauss just stared blankly at his Boss's behavior. It was not foreign to him anymore. The silver-haired man was about to speak when Sumire suddenly began to cry out, shouting while shaking her head out of frustration. She was completely overwhelmed with a load of questions.

"aaaAAHHH!!!!"

Klauss gaped and even hold his chest as he cruise with his eyes the maiden's appearance fidgeting from head to toe.

"Boss, let's put this lunatic in the asylum in a hurry!"

Alarmed, Klauss exaggeratedly exclaimed and looked at Mort who remained motionless on his feet and had no expression on his face. But his Boss never throws a glance at him.

"Why don't you go first and get in there?"

Mort said indifferently as Klauss audibly gasped dramatically again. Mort has never opposed his offensive insults before. This is the first time that his Boss has been against him. 'I knew it! Positive! There's a parasite crawling inside my Boss's system!' Klauss said in his mind as his eyes piercingly squinted at the maiden.

"I should eliminate this contagious disease as quickly as I can before she'd go rampant and began corrupting me." Eyes fixed on Sumire, Klauss murmured in a low voice, accusing the maiden abruptly.

Mort turned his attention to what the secretary had said.

"Don't act like that, I might mistake you for having feelings for me."

That was meant for a joke, but Mort said it in a serious tone. Klauss shivers in gross. He could feel the blood escape from his face and he knew he must have gone ghostly pale. He wanted to throw up.

Klauss was about to vomit but he managed to hold it on time.

He looks at his Boss with a pale complexion.

"Boss, you can go inside first. I'll excuse myself. I need to vomit." At once, Klauss left him and proceed to his own office. Klauss' office was at the distance from his Boss's, only there was a vacant room that mediates between their respective offices.

When Klauss passed in front of the maiden in a hurry, Sumire was slightly surprised but the young man didn't even bother to look at her. When she turned her back, a gorgeous hunk appeared to her.

"The Gay Boss!"

Sumire unconsciously uttered it out loud. Eyelashes fluttered. That word suddenly escaped from her lips that should have been in her mind. 'Damn it! How can you be so stupid, Sumire!', she reprimands herself deep inside.

She gulped hard and gradually step back when Mort suddenly approached her, the hunk looking so beastly and let out a guttural sound. He had a powerful build. A predator ready to pounce on his prey. He menacingly stood, covering her entirety with his husky body and now towering over her.

She shrinks back against the door.

"Who's gay?"

The man asked in a rough tone and leaned closer to the maiden. Sumire stiffened, her back pressed firmly against the door, and couldn't meet his eyes. She was completely trapped by his mere big-built frame and there was no way out to escape!

"I didn't say anything like that."

Sumire still denying the obvious that she was caught in the act. Mort heard her loud and clear, so lying to him is inevitable. His face hovering close to her, tried to catch her gaze.

"Is this the Gay Boss who has the desire to impregnate his first kiss?"

Mort's lip was slightly raised that Sumire immediately turned and met his intense stare at her. He sexily slicks back his dark hair. Their faces were just inches away. Her mind began to wander into a different dimension.

"Was your first kiss a girl or a boy?" The maiden asked that curiosity sparkle in her pair of dark-gray eyes. Mort was stunned, and stared at her for a short minute, amused at what he heard.

"You guess."

Mort said, challenging the maiden once he adjusted himself back in a manly posture. Both hands thrust into his pocket. Sumire was about to answer him when Klauss suddenly emerge at their place. The maiden immediately turned her gaze to the secretary.

Klauss frowned and raised an eyebrow at her.

Sumire let out an audible gasp when an idea entered her mind that Klauss might be Mort's first kiss. She wore a flabbergasted expression and covers her parted lips with her hand. 'Could it be...him?'

"What? You have a problem with me?" Klauss strictly said to which misunderstood by the maiden. Sumire shook her head one after another in response.

"Good," Klauss said once turning to his Boss.

"Boss, let's go. We'll talk about what happened last night." The secretary added that Sumire gasped again. Her mouth left hanging open and her eyes grew widened in surprise. Completely dumbfounded as she stared at Klauss.

Mort who was looking at the maiden intently wanted to chuckle. He was amused to see her flabbergasted, and the fluctuation of expression on the maiden's face that was unintentionally fed by Klauss. Now the gaps in the puzzle in the maiden's wits were answered.

Mort has an urge to correct Sumire but he wants to see how far the maiden's imagination can go. He was pleased to see every time she made a puzzled look.

Klauss opens the door of Mort's office suite and precedes inside. Mort, on the other hand, waits for the maiden to enter, but she remains motionless in her position.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I'll just go home. I'll give you and Klauss a privacy." Sumire said in a low tone. The hunk man knew what the girl wanted to convey but he pretended to be clueless just to tease the maiden.

"What kind of privacy?"

Mort asked while looking at Sumire who was already scratching her head, shyly looking away and gripping her dress down. Not knowing how to say what she wanted to convey.

"You know like ah ... I said ... privacy ..."

Her words jumbled. She bit her lower lip while her eyes are wandering everywhere.

"Shouldn't before you give a conclusion, first you have to observe and do the experiment. Sumire, you are smarter than that."

Mort said in a serious tone. He still had a stoic expression on his face. The maiden suddenly felt alive with what he said and stared back at the hunk for a few seconds before she entered the office.

"Who gave you permission to barge in here?"

Klauss asked frowned. 'The brass neck of this woman...'

Sumire answered him with her head held high, chest out, and gave him an air of superiority. "Your Boss." She said in a defiant tone.

Klauss was about to begin to quarrel with the maiden when the door suddenly shut. The two of them stopped and quickly looked in Mort's direction at the same time who had already entered the office.

His strides were big and Sumire started to have a wild thought about Mort's sexuality.
