The CEOs Seductive Whisper

"Ohh yes… Faster Ben… Ahh." A moan sounded from outside Ben's apartment.

I pushed open the door to Ben's apartment. The sight that greeted me would forever be etched into my memory. There he was, Ben, naked and on top of a woman. A woman I recognized all too well. The café waitress from our favorite coffee shop. The place where we had shared countless dates, laughter, and dreams. The irony was not lost on me.

His hips moved rhythmically, her sighs filling the room. It was a sound I knew I would never forget.

"Oh, Ben," she moaned again, her voice filled with pleasure. She knew I was there, watching, but she didn't stop. She even dared to smile, a satisfied grin that made my blood boil.

"Enjoying the show, Evelyn?" she taunted, her voice dripping with satisfaction.

I felt my heart shatter, the pieces falling to the floor.

"Ben," I choked out, my voice barely a whisper.

Ben, for his part, seemed not aware of my presence. He continued his activities, lost in his world of pleasure. The sight of him, uncaring and unfeeling, was like a punch to the gut.

"Evelyn," he finally grunted, not even bothering to look at me. "This isn't what it looks like."

I couldn't stand there any longer. I turned on my heel and ran, their pleasure echoing in my ears. I left Ben's apartment, leaving behind the man who had just shattered my heart into a million pieces.

The world seemed spinning around me as I stumbled back to my apartment. The tears came then, hot and fast, as I collapsed onto my bed. I cried until there were no more tears left, and my sobs turned into whimpers.

The shrill ring of my phone pierced through the fog of sleep, dragging me back to reality. I groaned, my head throbbing with a dull ache. I blinked, trying to make sense of my surroundings. Why was I on the floor? Oh, right. I must have rolled off the bed in my sleep.

I pushed myself up, wincing as a sharp pain shot through my skull. I must have hit my head when I fell. I rubbed the tender spot, grimacing. Just what I needed to start my day.

The phone continued to ring, its shrill tone grating on my nerves. I scrambled onto the bed, searching for the source of the noise. My hand closed around the cool metal of my cell phone. I squinted at the screen, the bright light making my head pound even more. Susan. Of course, it was Susan.

I took a deep breath, bracing myself for the inevitable scolding. "Hello?" I answered, trying to keep the grogginess out of my voice.

"Evelyn! Finally! I've been trying to reach you for the past half an hour!" Susan's voice was sharp, her irritation evident.

"I...uh...fell off the bed," I mumbled, wincing at how ridiculous that sounded.

"You fell off the... what? Never mind. Just get to the office as soon as you can. We have a crisis.”

I sighed, rubbing my throbbing temple. “Alright, Susan. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

"Oh, and Evelyn?” Susan’s voice took on a stern tone that made my heart sink. “Did you forget about our meeting with Venture Corp this morning?”
