As the sun rose on Saturday morning, Chloe found herself alone in her bed, the sheets still carrying the faint scent of Xavier's cologne. She had woken up to an empty apartment, with no note or contact information left behind. It was as if their encounter had been a dream, a fleeting moment of bliss that had now vanished into thin air.

Chloe couldn't shake the memory of Xavier from her mind. The weekend felt like an eternity as she replayed every moment of their passionate night together. From the moment their eyes locked in the club, she knew there was an intense connection between them. His Eurasian features, those piercing eyes, and that charming smile had captivated her instantly.

Restless and filled with longing, Chloe spent the weekend in a daze. She tried to distract herself by catching up with friends, but her mind kept wandering back to Xavier. The more she thought about him, the more she realized how little she knew. They hadn't exchanged numbers, and she didn't even know his last name. All she had were fragments of their conversation and the lingering taste of his kiss.

Monday morning arrived, and Chloe reluctantly dragged herself to work. Her office, usually a bustling hub of activity, felt like a dreary prison. She longed for the freedom of the weekend, where she could indulge in fantasies of Xavier without interruption.

As she settled into her desk, her coworker Jenny approached with a wide grin.

Jenny: Chloe, I want you to meet our new IT manager. He's been hired to oversee our entire department's tech needs.

Chloe: Xavier

Her voice shaking as she whispered, eyes wide like a deer in headlights.
