Introduction

It's very difficult for someone like me, a provincial guy, to find a job. People from the city tend to look down on us, so I made a promise to myself that one day, I would work for a big company and prove to them that I am not just a simple provincial man—I am a hardworking person who strives honestly and diligently for my family.

But unexpectedly, it wasn't just a job that came my way—there's also this woman who came crashing into my life like a storm.

The one and only temptation in my life.

"M-Ma'am?"

"Hmn?"

"Why are you tying me up?"

She didn't turn to look at me. Instead, she simply raised an eyebrow while keeping her focus on what she was doing, making my breathing slow down even more. I couldn't do anything but swallow repeatedly, trying to get rid of the lump in my throat.

"M-Ma'am Vero—" My words were cut off when she suddenly tightened the rope around my feet.

She still ignored me. She simply stood up and dusted off her skirt, which was so short that one wrong move would reveal what it was supposed to cover. A sight not meant to be seen.

"Now, my dear Seph," She said with a smirk. "We will talk."

"W-While I'm tied up?"

"Yup."

I swallowed hard again as sweat trickled down my skin. I tried to free myself, but the knots were too tight. My hands were bound behind me, and my feet were also tied to the base of the chair I was sitting on.

I felt like I was going to lose my breath when she started unbuttoning her blouse. She even hummed as she teasingly let it slip off her smooth shoulders down onto the floor.

I thought that was all she was going to do—but I was wrong. Because the next thing she did was unbutton my shirt.

I turned my head away to avoid staring at her chest, which was pressed against mine, only covered by a black undergarment. She gently loosened my tie and let her auburn hair cascade down to her shoulders.

"Actually, you really pissed me off big time, Mr. Lazaro."

"M-Ma'am, what—" My breath hitched when she suddenly straddled me.

Her smooth skin touched mine, sending a strange heat coursing through my body. Adding to that was her intoxicating scent, which clouded my thoughts.

"I'm mad, Seph. I'm really mad."

"I-I don't understand. Did I do something that upset you—"

"Shhh…" She silenced me again, her finger tracing my lips before whispering directly into my ear. "How dare you flirt with other bitches out there in front of your boss?"

"I-I wasn't flirting, Ma'am."

"Liar!" She snapped, her teeth clenched as she shot me a furious glare. "I saw you! You were talking to my female employee!"

I squeezed my eyes shut to resist the temptation of her beauty and allure. "We were just talking. T-that's different from flirting."

"I don't believe you, babe. I really don't believe you."

A groan escaped my lips when she began nibbling on my ear while her soft hands roamed freely over my body, leaving a burning sensation wherever they touched.

She cupped my face, a mischievous smirk playing on her lips that's making my heart race.

"I will punish you for being a bad employee, Seph Lazaro," She whispered, biting her lower lip while looking at me with sultry eyes. "I will punish you so bad that you'll end up liking it."

I couldn't even speak before she captured my lips in a rough, demanding kiss. And as always, I had no choice but to kiss her back.

For everyone who's wondering. This is my boss, who did nothing but tease me—Veronica Ruth Verdan.

And me?

I'm Seph Lazaro, her new secretary.
