"I never knew you still had that in you," Sinclair said smiling.
"Can I have those files now? Wilfred said,,, feeling tired and breathless
"Chill babe. It's pretty late, you can sleep here tonight and then take the files while leaving tomorrow.
"Can I have the files now? Wilfred said again but seriously.
"It's in my closet. I'll get it now." Sinclair muttered.
Wilfred felt sorry for how he shouted "I'm so sorry for shouting, just that I needed it for something." He pleaded.
"I mean what could you possibly need it for? The files are old and have dirty papers in them. Sinclair said, bringing out the file from her closet.
"I just want to check something," Wilfred answered while collecting those papers.
"But book aside, you know you look hot tonight. He said, grabbing Sinclair for the second time that night.
The following morning, Wilfred woke up naked, and Sinclair was staring at his phone, dressed up for work and looking angry.
"Will you explain to me why she's been calling you all night nonstop?" Sinclair asked.
"I don't owe you any explanation. Now can I have my phone? Wilfred said, putting on his clothes.
"How dare you mess around with my staff. That girl is going to lose her job today." She said while throwing his phone on the bed.
"She's your staff which means she's also my staff. You don't have the right to question my movements. He growled
"Oh, wow, let's see whether she's going to be your staff again or not after I get her ass fired. Sinclair said and left the room.
Wilfred picked up his phone immediately, Sinclair left, and called Celine to know why she'd been calling nonstop.
"Thank goodness, sir, I thought something wrong had happened to you," Celine said when Wilfred called back.
"I'm fine, you should have just texted me instead," Wilfred responded.
"I'm so sorry. Did you later find the files? Celine asked.
"Yes, I'll bring it to you in a moment," Wilfred said.
"Oh my goodness. Thank you so much, sir. I love you." Celine exclaimed.
Wilfred's smile faltered for a moment when he heard her words. "I love you."
He knew she didn't mean it the way it sounded, yet something in the way she said it hit deeper than he expected. A soft warmth spread through his chest, confusing him. He swallowed hard and forced a smile, pretending it was nothing.
"You're welcome," he managed to say, though his heart was still beating faster than it should.
"Call me when you get here," Celine said and ended the call.
Celine, on the other hand, was surprised and didn't know when she said I love you but she's not regretting saying it cause she found herself crushing on the CEO and trusting him even when her instincts didn't allow that.

Mr Wilfred searched the files to look for valid information. He only saw the multiple letters of resignation that Fredrick Johnson sent to his father.
"Why would someone send multiple letters just to resign? Wilfred muttered.
He also saw bank statements with a lot of money going in and out of a particular bank account, and pictures of chemical samples like formalin and lead acetate were also found in the first files.
The second file he opened was her father's membership card and a couple of promotions he has gotten so far.
The third file was more like evidence against him. There were pictures of a woman and Fredrick together, and a little note that says, "Do you want Grace to find out?
There were also pictures of him holding formalin and other chemicals in the company's factory.
At that point, Wilfred was confused. He can't give Celine the one against his father because of the love he has for her, and at the same time, he can't give out the one with strong evidence to her.
He quickly removed the pictures of Mr Johnson and another woman from the third file, the letters of resignation, leaving only one from the first file and nothing from the second file.
