Tatiana instantly sobered up when Sean hugged her. Her entire face and neck blushed from the exchange
between them.
“Ms. Tatiana, look out,” Sean warned. He thought she was drunk from the way she failed to steady herself.
Concerned, he pulled her closer with his hand on her waist.

tiny waist in his grip.
Still, as a gentleman, he quickly pulled himself together without betraying any hint of desire.
“Sean, please send Taty back. Thanks!” Alyssa yelled.
She had always been observant, but she was much more relaxed and careless around family. Up until

She waved at them and left, arm-in-arm with Jonah. It was only Tatiana and Sean alone after that. The air

“Ms. Tatiana,” Sean gulped and cautiously prodded. “Was that... your first kiss?”
“Oh, it’s fine, Sean. I had too much to drink. Please don’t overthink it.” Tatiana forced a smile.
The guilt hit Sean like a train. “Was it really... your first?”
He stumbled a few steps back and apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, Ms. Tatiana! I was wrong and
unprofessional. How can I ever make amends?”
Her heart froze. She was tortured by her crush, who had no other feelings except for guilt and reverence

“It’s really okay, Sean,” she replied after taking a deep breath to stop her tears from falling. She helped him
