31 Slept With Her ? At Apex Tower . 1 Dylan Hill stared at his desktop like it had just insulted his intelligence . The headline blaring across the screen looked like something out of a poorly written soap opera . [ William Walters banished his daughter , Evelyn Walters , from the family ! ] [ What could be the reason behind Evelyn Walters ' dramatic exit from the Walters legacy ? ] [ The beautiful heiress Evelyn Walters : now officially broke and abandoned . ] " What the hell happened here ? " Dylan muttered , blinking like maybe the words would rearrange themselves into something less scandalous . But nothing happened . He leaned back in his chair , his mind drifting back to that morning when Evelyn Walters quietly slipped out of Axel's presidential suite . What happened that morning was not something he could boast about , not even to his boss , Axel Knight . But now , seeing Evelyn's name trending like a celebrity divorce , the dots practically begged to be connected . " Did she do something to piss off her dad that bad ? Wait ... did William Walters find out she slept with Axel ? " Just saying it out loud gave Dylan a full - body shiver . Suddenly , in panic mode , he shot up from his chair , stormed out of his office , and made his way to Axel Knight's office . Two gentle , polite knocks . That's all he dared . " Come in , " came Axel's voice , cool and clipped . Dylan stepped in and found Axel neck - deep in paperwork , not even sparing him a glance . The man was clearly married to his work . Still , Dylan hesitated ; anything involving the Walters had a fifty - fifty chance of ending with some unpleasant things being thrown at his head . He positioned himself a few steps away from the desk , just in case . " Boss , it's me . Are you busy ? " Dylan asked , all polite and harmless on the outside , screaming internally on the inside . Axel didn't even look up . 1 " What kind of question is that , Dylan ? " he replied , tone dry enough to make Dylan feel nervous . " I mean ... remember a few weeks ago ? After the New Year's party ? " Dylan tried , inching closer to the danger zone , < 31 Slept With Her ? Axel paused just long enough to sign a document , then finally glanced up to meet Dylan's panicked expression . " Should I remember something ? " he asked , one eyebrow twitching in mild irritation , the sign that someone was about to regret something . Dylan pondered for a moment , weighing whether now was the right time to bring it up . Or ... should he take Axel to a bar and casually drop the bomb over whiskey and peanuts ? He was confused . Completely blank . Not a single bright idea in sight , until Axel's voice sliced through his internal crisis like a chainsaw . " Damn it , Dylan , you're just wasting my time ," Axel snapped , eyes back on the document . " You can leave now . I've got a mountain of paperwork you begged me to sign , and here you are ... hovering like a confused intern . " Dylan sighed internally . So much for perfect timing . " Boss , what I mean is ... do you even know who you slept with on New Year's Eve ? " That got Axel's attention . He stopped mid - signature , put the pen down with unnecessary drama , and leaned back in his chair like he was settling to hear more Dylan wanted to say . " Why ? Did someone show up claiming they've got my secret lovechild ? " Axel asked lazily , letting out a dry chuckle at his own joke . Naturally , he brushed the idea off . Everyone he slept with took the pill . That was the unspoken rule . No pills , no thrills . But Dylan's face turned ghost - white . His blood drained even faster as a thought crossed his mind . Did Evelyn really get pregnant after sleeping with Boss Axel ? Is that why her father disowned her ? ' 1 Axel narrowed his eyes . " Why do you look like your girlfriend just caught you cheating ? " he asked playfully . " B - Boss ... the woman you slept with that night ... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed , " Dylan stammered , his voice trembling . 1 Axel's brow furrowed even further . He tried digging through the hazy , alcohol - soaked memories of that night . Of course , he remembered the party . He remembered the whiskey . But the woman ? Nope . His brain served up a blank slate . " Who was she ? Dylan swallowed , " The first daughter of William Walters- " " Cough ! Cough ! " Azel coughed violently , his face turning red and eyes wide with shock . He never thought that woman would end up in his bed . 08 45 214 < 31 Slept With Her ? " Dylan , if you're trying to tell me you no longer want to work for me , just say it . No need to make a joke this ridiculous ... " 1 " Boss , I'm being honest with you , and without any ill intention . That morning , when I went to your presidential suite , she was the one . who answered the door . She looked rushed - barely had her shoes on - and bolted like she was terrified you'd catch her . " Dylan was desperately trying to convince Axel to believe him , but deep down , he knew how insane it sounded . Honestly , he'd been just as stunned as Axel when he saw Evelyn Walters coming out of that room . Axel didn't say a word . He stood from his seat and walked toward the glass wall behind his desk , eyes scanning the traffic - laden street below . His mind reeled back to that morning , the one time he didn't see the woman he'd slept with . When he woke up , Dylan was the only one in the room . Something had changed in him after that day . He hadn't slept with another woman since . He thought that because he was too busy with work . But now ? He understood . That woman had left an impact on him . Even if the memories were a blur , the feeling stayed deeply in his mind . And every woman who came after , throwing themselves at him ? Boring . Flat . Like watching a movie in black and white after seeing a glimpse of color . ' Why her ? Out of all the women ... more outstanding , more attractive , wealthier , why her ? ' After what felt like an eternity , Axel finally turned to face Dylan , who was still standing behind him . " Why are you only telling me now ? Did she come knocking and say she's pregnant or something ? " 1 Dylan shook his head . He walked toward Axel's desk , silent , and typed something on the computer . A few clicks later , he turned the screen toward him . " Boss , you need to read the news about her ... her father kicked her out of the family . " Dylan's words hit like thunder , tearing through Axel's mind . " What ? Why did that old man kick her out ? " " I don't know , boss . But ... do you want me to investigate ? " Axel pondered for a moment before replying , " I'm not interested in their family drama ... " he said casually , waving his hand like he asked Dylan to leave him alone . But just as Dylan turned to leave the room , Axel called him back . " Yes , boss ? Is there something you need me to do ? " 08 45 3/4 31 Slept With Her ? " Find out whether she's carrying my child or not . It'd be a real pain if she's using that as an excuse to chase after me " Axel said , deadpan , like this sort of thing happened to him . A smirk tugged at Dylan's lips as he nodded . " Yes , sir ... Consider it done . " Comment 10 Post your first comment !
