Recap
   Julie was sorry for hurting me and said she would mend our bond like she did it with the vase. The confidence in her eyes when she said she would make our bond stronger, I just believed in her but to rile her up, I asked her is that a challenge to make the game more interesting. She beat me to it as she came closer to me, put her hands around my neck and whispered, “Darling” she knows how to play me.
The seduction in her voice provoked me to lose all control and kiss her senselessly, but she is such a tease as she slowly caressed my cheeks with her lips, her hot breath tickling all my senses, she kissed the corner of my lips. The heat quickly spread through my body and brought out a throbbing boner.
She did not know what she’s playing with, it took all my might to keep my hands to myself as desire consumed my brain since she stood dangerously close to me. My control slipping every passing second, but I wanted to let her stage her drama in her style. I would like to see the upgraded and bolder version of Julie and what she has in store for playing this game with me.

   Julie looked into his deep brown eyes and said “See You” with a wink and left.
   Henry took seconds to recover from the impact. He was not used to this sensual attack by Julie, now that she had challenged him, he should maintain a straight face to show that he is not affected by her presence and not react at her provocation. He had an image of submissive Julie, but her attitude today just broke that image, her dominant persona has indirectly been arousing and exciting his inner self.
   That night, both of them were so thrilled and stayed awake for a long time.
   Chelsea and Angela have also gone to a pub and came late, minutes before Julie did. She just enclosed them her new laid plan on winning Henry by working as his Personal Secretary. They both were dancing around as Julie had finally decided to come back.
   The morning light was so bright that made the girls groan and wake up tiredly. Julie walked groggily and stood at her kitchen counter when her phone ringed. Without paying attention to the caller ID, that said ‘private number’ she picked up the call,
“Good Morning Miss Secretary!” The morning raspy voice of Mr Kingston was nowhere compared to her delusion. All her morning blues just vanished as her mind was completely on different mood now,as she heard his business voice, which was very attractive. He cleared his throat when there was no reply from Julie. She quickly came back from her trance,
“Mmm.. good morning Mr Kingston”
“How long you need to settle things there?”
“Sir, I would be finishing up my works today and report at the office by 9 tomorrow”
“What about the notice period?” Henry questioned.
“Yes Sir, it’s two months notice period, though I guess Mr Ross would be lenient on me” she hoped.
“Let me know if you want any assistance”
“Sure sir” she paused and asked, “when are you leaving?”
“I left already, I am in the office right now for a quick sunday meeting.”
Julie gasped.
Henry chuckled at her reaction.
“Julie, it’s already 10 in the morning, what do you expect Ms.Sleepyhead?” His voice was amused.
“No, I am not sleepy”
Henry laughed, “Your morning voice would support my case”
Julie shyly said, “I could not sleep well last night”
“Neither do I, there was this certain someone who was shy, innocent and appeared to be submissive, has certainly decided to go wild and bold that consumed my entire thoughts and put me awake all night. Julie’s face turned hot and red.
“Stop blushing, go refresh and have your breakfast.”
Julie smiled and said “okay sir, see you tomorrow”
“Of course, I am looking forward to your challenge”
“Anyways, you are going to lose to me in few days”
“Don’t be too confident Miss Secretary” with that they disconnected the call.
   Julie saved his number as “HK💖”
“Ohh!!” said Angela, who looked at Julie’ red face and looked at the phone to understand the reason behind her blush.
   Julie ran to the washroom so as to escape from their teasing. They all got ready and Julie took them to meet Lucas. Mr and Mrs Ross were too shocked at Julie’s resignation. But she explained her situation and said how she has to fight for her love.
   Eliza Ross hugged her and convinced Mr. Ross.
“You have always been incredible at work, where would I find such an excellent employee?” Mr. Ross said.
   Lucas was sitting quietly, all this while processing the fact that Julie is leaving. Julie was lost at words when she turned towards him, but he stormed out of the room. Julie’s heart broke at his sadness.
   She followed him and talked to him about his school, which is about to start in not less than a month. They have enrolled a week back. Julie was relieved that he would get to spend his time in school, finding new friends and less time to miss her. Anyways Mrs.Ross would take him to the park and make it up for her absence. She had also grown fond of the boy, she felt very stressed. She promised to come back in the evening with a gift.
   Lucas cried, hugging Julie that made her break her resolution of not crying in front of him. Looking at them, Eliza’ eyes glistened. Julie picked him up and said,
“Fine, let me take you out and get you the gift that I have planned to give you in the evening. We will go play and have lunch at your favourite place, how does that sound?”
Lucas eyes immediately lit up and he smiled excitedly.
   They took him to the play zone, spent all their energy there, had lunch and gone to a pet adoption centre. Lucas had always loved to pet puppies whenever she took him to the petting zoo, so she decided to gift him a puppy. That way he would be happy playing with the pet. Lucas found Beagle puppy to be very cute and said he would like to have him as his pet.
   Eliza Ross was surprised at the extremely happy Lucas when they came back home. Julie asked, “what would you like to name him?” He thought for a while and said,
“Joey!”
“That’s a nice one, take good care of him, I will come to meet you and Joey soon” she hugged him and looked how happily he played with the puppy.
She thought how easy it was to convince the kids, his sadness has turned into happiness in the blink of an eye, wish the life of adults were this simple as well.
   Eliza Ross touched Julie’s shoulder,
“Thank you so much for every thing you did for Lucas and us, we owe you for a lifetime, God bless you with abundance” she gave her a tight hug. Julie was emotional too.
“Always remember to call me whenever he needs me” she said.
“Like Luca said You are our family member Julie” Eliza Ross stated.
   Julie, then left to meet Mr Dorris, asking her friends to get to the apartment and do the packing.
   Mr Dorris said, “You should not stop working as a financial analyst, that’s your core talent and strength”
“Sir, I have discussed with Mr Kingston already, he was initially hesitant when I proposed to take up his Secretary job, he advised me to reconsider my decision as I have established my career as financial analyst with so much hard work, but like I managed here, while working for Mr. Ross, I can do it there too”
“Then I am happy for you, working for such a big firm would always be your priority and that’s where your skills have been developed and polished. So it’s understandable why you wanted to go back. Working for him would gain you so much knowledge, also I have heard that Mr Kingston is a good employer and a nice human being”
“Of course he is” Julie gave a warm smile.
   She then met Eva and Jin, her next door neighbours and friends, had early dinner with them. She had quickly packed as she does not have much to pack. She finally left her refugee city to her home city with Chelsea and Angela.
   Next morning Julie woke up early though she did not get so much sleep due to travelling yet she got ready for office with great energy. She stayed in Chelsea’ apartment for the time being until she finds one for her. She was too excited so she left for office before Chelsea could get ready.
   She stepped on the office space as the nostalgia hit her hard. The air around her charged her up, she felt home. It was always the feel for her, like being with her friends, stepping into her favourite place that gives her the homey feel. The same office floor, the smell took her back in memory.She stood silently lost in thoughts.
  “Make way for others Miss..Secretary”
an amused husky male voice said in her ears that made her jump in shock and lose her footing.
