Elephant in the Room

Arec's POV:

I walked into my office, the door closing behind me with a soft click. The moment the door shut, I exhaled deeply, muttering under my breath, "What the hell?" I ran a hand through my hair, pacing behind my desk. My new assistant was my one-night stand? I couldn't believe it.

The day had started off normal enough. I'd walked out of the elevator, ready to meet the new assistant, expecting nothing out of the ordinary. Only to see her - my one-night-stand.

The shock of recognition hit me like a brick. For a split second, I was stunned for a moment, almost unable to believe that the woman I'd spent the night with was now sitting in my office, her eyes wide with the same shock and confusion I felt.

I had to pull it together fast. "Get a grip," I told myself.

I quickly pulled myself together, though. I've always been adept at hiding my emotions, especially in the business world.
