Chapter 358 - Engaged to Big Boss (1/2)

~Los Angeles~

Next morning, Steve woke up in a strange place. 'This is not my apartment!' He was about to leap out of the bed when he noticed Bridgette clinging onto him. She was sleeping. 'Oh! Her bedroom!' Steve relaxed for a second, and then he remembered previous night, 'No, no... I slept off! What kind of a man sleeps off? But she can't be mad, can she? She is peacefully sleeping right here, next to me.'

Steve took a deep breath and inhaled her scent which was embedded in the bedsheets. That feminine scent and her closeness made his body react. He remembered her softness. Ignoring that she is sleeping, his arm went under her top and started kneading her breast. 'Oh, how soft! I can do this all day!'

Somewhere between Steve squeezing Bridgette's breast and his throbbing crotch grinding on her thigh, Bridgette woke up with a start. She screamed and jumped out of the bed. ”What are you doing!!?”

Steve was frozen. Not sure what to say. 'What was I doing?' He was consumed by his desire and forgot himself. ”Sorry...” he mumbled. When facing her shocked expression, he felt the need to turn invisible, or to teleport to a different continent... as long as he can escape this place, it will work. ”I'm going now.” Steve got out of the bed and walked outside with his head held down.

Bridgette looked after him with a frown. 'Why am I this upset? He is my boyfriend... and it's not like he was forcing himself on me. He just touched a little bit. It's not like we didn't do this before... and it's not that I didn't like it. I was just surprised, that's all...' At the thought that he is leaving, Bridgette came to her senses. ”Steve, wait...” She rushed after Steve and stopped him in the hallway by holding onto his arm. ”Let's clean up and have breakfast.”

Steve was happy that Bridgette does not seem to be upset any more, but he was still ashamed of his actions. The truth is that he didn't want to leave. He nodded and let her take him to the bedroom. She pointed at the bathroom, ”You go clean up first.”

…

Sometime later, Bridgette showered and dressed up for the day while thinking about breakfast and where will they go after that. It's Saturday, so they have the whole day for themselves. She got out of the bathroom and saw that Steve just finished talking on the phone.

Steve faced Bridgette, ”I need to run few errands for the Boss.” He felt guilty that his work is spoiling the weekend which was supposed to be for two of them.

”Now? It's Saturday morning!” Bridgette protested.

”He is preparing for a trip and needs my help. Do you want to join? We can grab breakfast on the way, and after that I can show you my apartment.”

'His apartment?' Bridgette's eyes lit up. She was never in his apartment so far. She gave a small nod.

Steve was happy. Few times he wanted to take Bridgette to his apartment, but something always came up.

...

In the penthouse, JoAnna and Jeff are packing for their Reno trip. JoAnna is very excited. She is re-packing for the third time, making sure she didn't forget anything.

Jeff is enjoying the sight of JoAnna, ”You know that we are coming back tomorrow evening?”

”Yes, yes... ” She mumbled while moving around things in the suitcase.

Jeff checked his phone, ”My mom confirmed that she can meet us for lunch today.”

JoAnna got a start. ”Oh?! I don't have anything to wear for lunch with your mom!” She ran toward the closet.

Jeff laughed seeing JoAnna stumble over her own feet while rushing.
