I must admit, I was hesitant to train Mia. You see, I had never been one to shy away from the company of women. My nights were often spent in the arms of a different lady, especially when I was away on business trips. However, there was something about Mia that set her apart from the rest. It wasn’t just her stunning beauty – I had spent my fair share of time with gorgeous women. But with Mia, it was different.
It could very well be Mia’s inner beauty that captivated me, as I had previously only associated with women of a more commonplace nature –escorts or those seeking financial gain. In contrast, Mia’s pristine and unblemished aura struck me as truly rare and unique. Despite confiding in me about her past relationship, Mia’s allure remained entirely unaffected, with an innocent purity. After our night together, I couldn't help but notice a distinct twinkle in Mia's eyes. It was as though the experience had a profound impact on her, and that she, too, was considering the possibility of us being a good match for one another. Perhaps she wanted a long-term relationship. I couldn’t believe it. How could she think that was even possible? We fought all the time and hardly agreed on anything. I cannot deny that there is an undeniable spark between us. Whenever I would visit the coffee shop where she worked, I would often make a comment or two just to rile her up. There was something about her fiery spirit that intrigued me. But now, things were different. Mia was not just a passing acquaintance but a new employee in my firm. She would be working closely with me for at least eight hours a day. And while I must admit that the company of an attractive woman is not entirely unpleasant, I couldn’t help but wonder how our past interactions would affect our working relationship.
While I found her beauty and charm alluring, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease at the thought of leading her on. I couldn’t let my personal feelings get in the way of our professional duties. The prospect of other employees discovering our past relationship, or worse yet, our one night stand, fills me with a sense of deep-seated embarrassment. I am, therefore, determined to avoid any such recurrence at all costs. After all, it was crucial that we maintained a productive working relationship for the good of the company. My concentration was abruptly broken by a gentle knock on the door. “ Please, come in,” I replied in a composed manner. In walked Mia, her presence instantly commanding my attention.
As I watched her move about the room, my heart raced with desire. She was a force of nature. With her long, flowing brown hair cascading down her shoulders in soft waves, and her full, pouty lips that begged to be kissed, she exuded a raw sensuality that was impossible to ignore. Her curves were all in the right places, accentuated by the way she moved. Every step she took was a dance, a fluid and seductive sway that left no doubt as to the power she held over those who were fortunate enough to witness it.
I reminded myself of the professional boundaries that existed between us.
I maintained my composure and politely gestured towards a seat. “Please, take a seat,” I said in a composed manner. “As Jack is currently unavailable, I will be your designated trainer for this job. It is crucial that you remain attentive and follow the instructions closely if you wish to excel in this role,” I added, my tone turning slightly chilly towards the end. Mia’s gaze remained fixed on me, as if studying me intently.
As I was instructing her on the intricacies of investigation techniques, we were both seated in the conference room. As I inquired of Mia whether she had acquired my proprietary Seven Investigation Techniques formula, this unique methodology is one that I myself have developed over many years of seasoned experience. It is of paramount importance to me that all new members of my team receive thorough guidance on this technique, as its mastery is essential for ensuring an efficient and effective workflow. However, to my surprise, Mia remained silent on the matter. It was apparent that her mind was preoccupied, and she was not fully engaged in the training.
Frustrated by her lack of attentiveness, I could feel my anger bubbling to the surface. “I do not have the luxury of speaking to inanimate objects,” I said sternly.
She was taken aback by my outburst. “I…” she began to reply, but I cut her off.
“You need to be present mentally during each training session, otherwise, I cannot continue to train you,” I said firmly. She nodded in agreement. If she were not my employee, I’m certain she would have retorted with equal ferocity.
However, all she said in a cold tone was, “I will be more attentive next time,” which gave me the impression that she didn’t care for my authority. It was vexing to think that she wasn’t taking me seriously despite being her boss.
As the training session with Mia resumed after lunch, my tone grew notably more rigorous, conveying the gravity of the subject matter we were about to delve into. I expounded upon the dire consequences that could ensue if we failed to unearth crucial clues in complex cases, such as those involving murder. It was at this juncture that I posed a query to my trainee, inquiring whether she was acquainted with any other distinguished intelligence agencies. To my chagrin, Mia retorted with the name “MI6,” prompting me to react with incredulity.
“Mia,” I responded, “while I can appreciate your affinity for spy novels, we are not living in a work of fiction. It is imperative that we remain focused on our professional obligations, and refrain from allowing our personal interests to interfere with our work. We may have to collaborate with other agencies at times, but we must approach such partnerships with the utmost seriousness and professionalism.”
As I relayed my response to her, I could sense a palpable frustration emanating from Mia, perhaps prompting her to ponder why I appeared to be avoiding her.
Upon observing Mia’s keen aptitude for learning, I began to sense a distinct passion within her for investigating complex cases. I enjoyed debating with her at the coffee shop, and I enjoyed myself when we slept together. I needed to push down the feelings that she brought out in me and remain professional. My company means the world to me, and my reputation would be tarnished if it got out that I was sleeping with an employee. I embarked on the task of training her, I felt a curious mixture of excitement and trepidation. I knew that it was crucial to establish clear boundaries between us, in order to preserve the sanctity of our professional relationship. It was essential that she remained under my tutelage without getting too close for comfort.
Despite her initial resistance, I was starting to see a different side of Mia, a vulnerable and determined side that I couldn’t help but be drawn to. As the day wore on, I realized that training Mia was going to be more challenging than I initially thought. She was smart and capable, but she was also stubborn and resistant to my authority. I knew that as an alpha male, I had to exert my dominance and establish clear boundaries with her. I couldn’t let her think that she could walk all over me or get away with insubordination.
“Mia,” I said firmly, as we wrapped up our training for the day. “I need you to understand that I am your boss, and you need to respect my authority.”
Mia looked at me, her eyes narrowing. “What’s with the bad boy act, Ethan? Why can’t you just be nice to me?”
I sighed, feeling a twinge of frustration. “It’s not an act, Mia. I am who I am. And I need you to understand that if you want to work for this firm, you need to play by my rules.”
Mia shook her head, looking defeated. “Fine, Ethan. Whatever you say.”
As she gathered her things and prepared to leave for the day, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret. But I knew that I had to maintain my authority, for the sake of the business and for the sake of our working relationship.
As Mia left the office, I sat back in my chair, feeling a mix of emotions. Training Mia was going to be a challenge, but I was up for it. As the day came to an end, our private investigation firm was recently tasked with a new case involving a missing person, none other than Emma. Emma and I had been inseparable childhood friends, but our relationship had always remained strictly platonic. It was just a few days ago that I received news of Emma’s devastating heartbreak – her Ex-husband had betrayed her by marrying another woman behind her back.

MIA
After much hesitation,I resolved to persist in my position at the investigation firm, as I had no other viable options. Perhaps by remaining in close proximity to Ethan, I could eventually seek my revenge. He had considered me to be a worthless individual, but I was determined to prove myself capable to him. During our training sessions, I was in close proximity to Ethan, but he was attempting to assert his dominance and impose his personality upon me. He expected me to comply with his every directive, assuming the role of an authoritarian figure. I couldn’t help but wonder why he couldn’t behave in a more congenial manner. Was it essential for him to exude such a dominant presence at all times? Frustrated by his actions, I ultimately decided to steer clear of him.
As much as I tried to avoid him, there was no escaping Ethan. He was my boss, and I was his intern. But that didn’t mean I had to like him. I couldn’t deny that I was drawn to him, but his dismissive attitude and cold demeanor towards me only added to my confusion.
We were working on a case together, and things were not going well. We argued constantly, and Ethan refused to listen to any of my ideas. It was like he had it all figured out already, and I was just there for show. The case was about a young woman named Emma who had disappeared, and her family had hired Ethan’s firm to help find her. She had last been seen leaving a nightclub in downtown Los Angeles, and her cell phone had been found discarded in an alley nearby. The police had been investigating for weeks, but they had no leads.
Ethan had taken on the case because he believed that he could find Emma where the police had failed. He had a reputation for getting results when others couldn’t, and he was determined to prove himself again.
It was then that I discovered Ethan’s true passion for investigation. His desire to solve cases and bring the truth to light was not fueled by money or fame, but by his own internal drive. In fact, he had started this private investigation firm solely based on his passion for the field. He was not just a boss, but a leader who took charge of the most complex cases and handled them with expertise. His dedication and commitment to his work were admirable, and it was clear that he was not in this business for the money or the recognition.
I had been excited to work on the case, but my excitement quickly turned to frustration. Ethan, was not interested in hearing my ideas. He had his own methods, and he didn’t want to deviate from them. “We’re going to talk to Emma’s friends and family,” he said. “That’s the best way to get started.”
