Chapter 78

Genevieve had been attempting to focus on her work since early that morning, starting promptly at eight o’clock. Yet, despite her best efforts, the man who had occupied her nights over the past three days seemed determined to disrupt any chance she had at productivity. Her phone buzzed again on the polished surface of her desk, and she let out a frustrated groan. Still, curiosity won out, and she unlocked her screen, immediately feeling a flush rise to her cheeks.

Matteo: Our meeting is in ten minutes. That leaves just enough time for you to come in here and let me fuck you. It could be our new daily ritual: defiling my desk. Think about it.

Genevieve sighed deeply, her fingers hesitating over the keyboard as she considered her response.

Gen: Mr. Accardi, as we discussed this morning, while we are at work, I want to focus on work. Don’t make me involve HR.

Barely a minute passed before another message appeared.

Matteo: I’ve never been a big fan of Benjamin, but if having him there is a deal breaker, he can sit in the corner and watch.

Gen cracked her knuckles in frustration, ready to retort, when a sudden knock at her door startled her so much that she let out a small shriek and dropped her phone onto the floor. She quickly spun around to see Kaitlin standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with concern.
