Can you mend my broken heart?

She took a deep breath and walked towards her cubicle.

"Omg Akira !!! What are you doing here?", Kirk asked all enthusiastically the moment he saw her.

"Well I have come back here. Joining work starting from today. So Simon if you have any pending work then please give it to me", Akira said and waving at Simon.

"What happened to the ad agency opportunity at Abacus?"

"She couldn't adapt to their culture so she moved back in here. Right Akira?"

Everyone turned and saw Raymond with a sly smile on his face.

"No actually it was like... umm.... um.... ", and she was slurring at a loss of words.

"That was an AD company and the work wasn't as challenging as she expected. So she is back here. So Simon you make sure she gets all the challenging work that she wants", Raymond said and then walked back towards his cubicle with a smile on his face.

"You !!!", Akira mumbled out of anger and settled at her seat.

Then she picked out her phone and texted him,

"You seriously are messing with me right now Mr. Raymond?" - [Akira]

"Am I?" - [Raymond]

"That's such a lame reason to give. Everyone was almost bursting out of laughter" - [Akira]

"Really??? At least it was better than your slurring" -[Raymond]

"I am not going to talk with you" - [Akira]

"Will see about that" - [Raymond]

"Right now you come to my cubicle" - [Raymond]

"I am not coming. You can keep kissing the walls" - [Akira]

"I am calling you for work. Have you forgotten, I am still the boss here. Why your head is only filled with thoughts about kissing me?" - [Raymond]

"Oh, ok ok. Coming" - [Akira]

She took out her notebook and pen and went towards Raymond's office.

As she went inside, she saw Raymond in a serious work mode with his adept hands moving on the keyboard like a Samurai would. Sparing a glance from the monitor, Raymond looked at her and said,

"Sit".

"Do you remember the Augmented Reality work that I had showed you before for the project?"

"Yes I do".

"I need you to work on a nice banner for it but not in the office hours. Is that ok?"

"Umm... yeah"

"I will give some more details to you by today evening or tomorrow. You need to follow the same character set as being used in the game. You already have access to the main server and you can take the existing characters from the shared repository and then give it a distinctive twist. Ok?"

"That's all right, but why are you asking me? There are many other capable people who can do a much better job at it?"

"Because I trust you with this Akira", Raymond said, looking at her.

His eyes were fixated on her and his sincerity was captivating her heart all along.

She nodded and then asked,

"Anything else that you would like me to do?"

"Well yeah, there is something I needed to show you as well", saying that Raymond turned his monitor a bit towards her side.

She came forward and stood close to him and leaned to look at the screen. He looked at her standing in such a close proximity. Her smell, her breath on his skin made him go crazy. His hand instantly went towards her waist. He held the band of her skirt and tugged her towards himself.

She wasn't expecting him to do anything like this so she just fell flat into his lap. His hand immediately embraced her, holding her back firmly and pulled her closer. Holding her face with his other hand, he planted a wet kiss on her lips and then trailed his tongue slowly on her neck line making her whimper like anything.

Then he slowly released her and said,

"Well that's all from my side. If you have any questions then please let me know?"

She opened her eyes and slowly her lips parted. Taking a deep breath she tried to stand straight but damn those jelly legs, she had to take the support of the table.

A victorious smile spread on Raymond's face to see her like this with just his kiss.

Her face slowly changed from flushed to furious.

"You told me it was all about work. Then why did you steal a kiss?"

"Who told you that it wasn't about work?"

"How on earth is this work?"

"Maybe not for you, but for me it is".

"Really? And how on earth is thar?"

"Well I need some motivation and kick to keep working right? I mean something to keep me going? You are like the fuel for my engine. Can't work without you".

Raymond said and shrugged his shoulders.

Akira kept looking at him all displeased and said,

"I will get back to you on this" and she stormed out.

A smile spread on his face and taking a deep breath, he started working back on his system.
