Chapter 3 My boss kissed me

Aphrodite was shocked and a bit annoyed, she just gave in since she saw resisting wasn't an option and she thought his lips tasted like strawberry, his scent was just something else.

After a while, Atlas still didn't let go until the waiter walked in. "Oh, am sorry for the disturbance," the waiter said dropping their food on the table as Atlas let Aphrodite go with her heart thumping loudly, she needed to use the bathroom, her sight was becoming blurry, grabbing onto Atlas's wrist she muttered. "The bathroom?" Atlas turned to the waiter, "Where is the restroom room"The waiter pointed to a door and Aphrodite grabbed her bag and rushed into it. Atlas found that oddly strange, but it wasn't his business, to pay for the food, the waiter left.

Aphrodite locked the bathroom door as tears blurred her vision as she rummaged through her things in search of her drugs, she found it, rushing to the tap she took some water and gulped down the pill almost immediately her racing heart calmed down as she slumped to the floor. After a while she composed herself before walking out, Atlas had already started eating, he just glanced at her when she sat down. "You spent an awful amount of time in there," Atlas said finally raising his gaze to meet hers. "Yeah, had to take care of some stuff," Aphrodite said finally taking her seat. "Okay eat quick I have things to do," Atlas said as he concluded with his eating. "Yes sir" She quickly began eating as Atlas just stared at her, the way her plump red lips moved as she chewed made his blood boil.

Aphrodite quickly finished eating and sighed, she never had this type of tasty food before, as she was about to reach for a napkin to wipe her lips, Atlas beat her to it as he ever so slowly wiped her lips, after he was done he grazed her lips with his finger and couldn't believe he kissed these succulent lips a while back, as his eyes held eyes contact with hers, Aphrodite could feel her heart racing, she tried to calm herself down but it wasn't working, pulling her gaze from the magnificent and spellbinding black orbs she cleared her throat. "Sir, I believe the lunch break is over," she said finally breaking out of his spell. "Yes, I believe so, shall we" Atlas said as he strode out of the room with Aphrodite following closely behind.

The following day went easygoing and smoothly, Aphrodite focused on her work to make sure she did everything accurately and quickly. By 7:30, Atlas stepped out of his office with his briefcase as he looked in her direction before walking out.

Aphrodite shut down her laptop as she stretched lazily, she stood up and grabbed her bag, noticing Atlas had already left she quickly went home.

Atlas got to his Mansion, the place smelled of elegance and wealth, mostly built with gold and the gate had a carving with diamonds that said 'Diamond Villa', parking his car in the garage his butler immediately rushed forward taking his briefcase and coat. "Welcome back master" the butler greeted as Atlas nodded walking into the main house, laughter and chatter echoed through the house and he knew just who it was. "Look who is back," A girl said as she immediately hugged Atlas who patted her hair fondly. "Who asked you guys to come in?" He asked as he broke the hug. "Do we need permission for that?" A blonde-haired guy said. "Where is Braxton and William" Atlas said as he sat down losing his tie a bit. "They went home once we landed," The girl who hugged Atlas earlier said. "Why did you change your cologne?" A dark-haired guy asked. "I didn't" Atlas shrugged not understanding what he meant. "You smell like strawberry and only ladies smell like that...gasp...do you have a girlfriend" A dark-haired girl squealed as she said. "Nope," Atlas Bluntly replied. These are his closest friends since college, the haired guy was a popular Korean architect named Hyungin Han, who owned several companies responsible for building and worked under Atlas's company, the dark-haired or rather brown-haired was a half-cast, part Brazilian and part American her name was Milan Kai, she owned a shipping company that partnered with both Atlas and hyungin's company, the blonde haired is Stella Sing, she's a full born Asia girl, but has good shape that any guy could kill for, but she's cunning and a fox and the blonde haired guy was Sylvester Mike, a full born American, he owned a popular and well known hospital that only rich elites could go to, he's friendly and calm.

Aphrodite stepped out of the cab and walked into the house she perceived the aroma of food, so she quickly changed her shoes and walked into the house. "Bestie, bestie are you home" Aphrodite yelled as she walked into the sitting room only to see Bianca and William seated. "Welcome back bestie" Bianca hugged her while Aphrodite blinked breaking the hug. "William, if you are here that means... Welcome back Aphrodite" Braxton interrupted and almost immediately, Aphrodite moved away from Bianca. "Bestie, are you okay?" Bianca asked trying to touch Aphrodite. "Don't touch me" Aphrodite yelled running to her room in tears. "Brax I thought you said it wasn't that serious," William said. "I..." Braxton was speechless as he bowed his head in sorrow before leaving. Aphrodite got to her room and locked the door flinging her bag on the floor, she screamed as tears poured out of her eyes, she fell to the floor crying as her heart thumped loudly against her chest, and everything started becoming blurry, she struggled to grab her bag as she rummaged through it, finding her pills she couldn't find water so she threw some directly in her mouth chewing on it, after awhile she slowly calmed down but continued crying, she was hurting and trying to stay strong but why was everything against her, I there really a God as people say or was she just alone she wondered, she didn't know what happened but fainted in a spot.
