“Let’s say we do register. Then what? What if she has a profile? What if she puts herself out there next week?” What am I supposed to do? Just continue working like nothing is going on, like my secretary isn’t trying to bang some random stranger for money?

“Then we bid.” Maverick shrugs like it’s no big deal. “We both have millions sitting untouched in our bank accounts.”

“But what does that do? If she’s genuinely looking for someone to fuck, placing the winning bid and ghosting her isn’t going to do anything.

“Who says we’re going to ghost her?” Maverick leans forward, a conspiratorial gleam in his eyes. “We’re going to win that auction, we’re going to book a fancy room at a swanky hotel, and then we’re going to fuck our little secretary so good she’ll forget what decade it is.”

“We?”

“We.”

Holly

Alright, time to vote on the next book! There’s a new workplace romance I’ve been dying to read. #HotandBothered

June

Ohhh, The Grumpy Bossman? Yes, please.

Daisy

I’m here for it.

Kinsley

Absolutely not.

No.

Absolutely any other trope. I cannot do a boss romance right now.

June

Oh? Any particular reason?

Holly

Yes, please share with the class.

Kinsley

Sigh.

I didn’t want to get into it the other night, but I fucked up. I fucked up bad.

Daisy

What did you do?

June
