1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,160
In this life, you've got to be strong. You have to be able to hold your own.

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,120
And as a woman, I'm saying this from experience. Depending on anyone can lead to being fucked

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:18,800
over and finished. I've been burned to learn this very thing. At 38, I should be married and have

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:25,680
it together, right? No. I chose to stay single because of my job and past experiences with men.

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:32,560
Now, I fuck for pleasure and get on with my day. It's easier that way. No heartbreak,

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:40,960
no paranoia, no lies, no fucking worries. I don't get caught up with love and relationships. They

7
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:48,240
become complicated and weird. In my last relationship, I almost got married. I was 23 at the time.

8
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:55,760
My parents forbade it, but I'd been happily in love with that man. That...animal.

9
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,320
My fiancee had a double life. He was married in another country and had a kid.

10
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,880
It should have been clear to me, but I thought his job was demanding.

11
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,720
Clarence, who was eight years older, had already established a solid footing in the corporate

12
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:18,480
sector. During his numerous business trips, I encountered him at the restaurant where I worked

13
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:27,200
as a waitress while attending college. We fell in love. Well, so I thought. We dated for 10 months

14
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,720
and then he popped the question. Clarence wanted a small wedding, so I obliged.

15
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,800
But I remember that faithful morning at the bridal store while getting fitted with my bridesmaids.

16
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:47,120
I got a text. It was eerie. It had been photos of my fiancee and a woman and a small boy.

17
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,800
She said that she knew I was having an affair with her husband, that she saw the exorbitant

18
00:01:52,800 --> 00:02:01,760
receipts. She even called me and we spoke. It was weird, just fucking weird. She told me she

19
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,800
was divorcing him and I could have him, but I didn't want him. Not anymore.

20
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Clarence denied it all. Even when I showed him the pictures, he said it was some crazy chick

21
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,920
trying to destroy his life. I didn't even bother to question anything anymore. I left him.

22
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,000
In the end, my parents were right. I kept my job as a waitress and finished my degree.

23
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,960
Since then, I've never let a guy get close to me. Sex lasts as long as I'm satisfied.

24
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:42,640
I only think about myself and my happiness. It's better that way. It's better not to be fooled by a

25
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:49,280
fool. Another thing is that as VP of my firm, I never fuck with my colleagues. Working with them

26
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,840
all day and letting them taste my insides is a big no. I despise drama and I don't appreciate gossip.

27
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,240
Let's just say I work with men who have the personality of a 16-year-old.

28
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:08,400
Call me a case, but this is how I deal with things. This is how I live my life and continue to live it.

29
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,000
I'm sitting at the bar at my favorite restaurant. I usually come here after work to let off some

30
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,120
steam. I usually take two shots and then end it off with cocktails, but somehow tonight feels

31
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:26,160
different. I down the last shot and reach for the drinks menu. I'll have the tequila and pineapple

32
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:32,400
juice, please, I say. Make that two. I turn to the direction of the deep voice and my heart

33
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,440
skips a beat. Why the fuck it would skip is beyond me. My heart is stone. It's like a diamond that

34
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:49,600
cannot be broken. I don't feel. So when this happens, I'm curious. Sitting beside me is Neva Adams,

35
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,440
the new head of human resources. He joined the firm a month and a half ago and ever since then,

36
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:02,080
he has caught the attention of the ladies of Garrett Corporation. Not me, of course. I have rules.

37
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,560
And besides, he's young and definitely not my type. This man has a great side profile and he is

38
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:15,120
also handsome. He's dark, smooth, and probably has a skin routine, or maybe just impeccable jeans.

39
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,520
He reminds me of coffee, like a raw, unfiltered coffee.

40
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:27,280
Neve looks at me. I'm sorry, am I interrupting something? Why apologize when you've already

41
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:32,960
been bold with it? I say. The bartender sets our drinks down and I go straight for it. I won't

42
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:40,560
stop until all of it is down my throat. Neve smiles. Should I get you another? I give him a curtain

43
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,640
nod. He sips on his and then hails the bartender. I don't know, but this man is something else.

44
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,080
I should have said no because I don't fraternize with work employees,

45
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:58,160
but my mind is playing games with me. I want this. I want to interact with him. And that beard.

46
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,600
Rough day at the office. He asks, why are you here? I say, ignoring his question.

47
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:13,360
Somehow I believe he is here for me, like a stalker, a lion seeking out its prey. He looks like the

48
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,080
kind to know they're handsome and well sought after by the ladies. But when that one woman doesn't

49
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,760
quite pay attention, they make it their vow to conquer. There's that sixth sense about him,

50
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,520
ever since he started at Garrett Corp. I've seen him lurking in my hallways. I've passed him

51
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,920
countless times in the lobby and in the cafeteria. He has always been cordial, but I've always felt

52
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,720
like he'd had an ulterior motive. Neva knows who I am. He knows that I'm VP and by my side,

53
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,200
he's my friend. And by now his colleagues probably told him to steer clear or not to waste his time.

54
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,760
But yet, he's here. He adjusts his tie.

55
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:00,240
For a drink? He answers. Ever been? No, but I'm glad I am. They're great at mixing drinks

56
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:07,120
and entertaining beautiful women. I scoff. This man is young. He's in his 30s, yes.

57
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,880
But he couldn't be a day over 35. His attempts to charm me with words are futile,

58
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,720
and he will realize this soon enough. I sip my drink when the bartender puts my refill on the

59
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:25,680
table. But I can't help but admire his facial hair. Something about men with beards fascinate me.

60
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,520
Besides, he continues. It's a five minute walk from the office.

61
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:39,600
You don't drive? I do. But when I saw you heading this way. Oh, so you're a stalker?

62
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,880
He swirls his glass and sips. I wouldn't say stalker. Just interested.

63
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:53,200
I don't fuck my workmates. I'm not your workmate. We work in the same building. Same thing.

64
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,200
Again, usually I would walk away and leave him here. But yet I'm still here talking to this man.

65
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:06,880
Is that a new rule or? The way this man's eyes are raking over me like a true seducer is disquieting.

66
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:14,080
It makes me feel...wanted. It has been like this from the beginning of time.

67
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,400
I say, taking another sip of my drink. Do you usually go about stalking your prey hoping to

68
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:29,840
fuck them? He laughs. Pray? That's exactly what I said. No, unless they peak my interest. Hmm.

69
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,880
That might be the description of a womanizer. How tired is your dick?

70
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,480
He smiles and finishes his drink. Are you asking for yourself?

71
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,920
I'm asking because I'm genuinely interested in knowing if you bed women daily.

72
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,480
I don't bed. I fuck. I fuck them and let them leave.

73
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,640
I prop my chin up with the back of my hand. Wow, sounds charming.

74
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,560
Sadly, this man might just be like myself. We might actually be alike.

75
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:09,200
But carrying on a conversation with him is dangerous. He's a colleague. He's new. And he

76
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:15,120
has direct intentions. We may get along, but there's the possibility that he'll be churlish

77
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,920
or a douchebag like the rest of them. The type to bang someone and talk about it with other colleagues.

78
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,680
And although I'm not getting that from his demeanor, men can be deceptive.

79
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:35,840
They can be a wolf. Neve orders another drink. So you're staying? I ask. I'm not going anywhere

80
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:42,320
until I get through to you. That's a bold statement, but in what way exactly? At my apartment,

81
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:49,920
on my bed, and having my way with you. I huff. Aren't you head of HR? Isn't fraternizing with

82
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:56,640
employees and employee relationships a no-go? He smirks. Only if we get caught.

83
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,800
My God, he's worse than the others. Why am I not getting my butt up and fucking leave?

84
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:09,040
Why am I still talking to this man? Like I said, I don't fuck your colleagues, right?

85
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,960
To be honest, you are too forward. I've just met you and I don't know what you are about.

86
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,640
You look good on the outside, but... Neve leans forward,

87
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,960
close enough for me to smell the tequila on his breath.

88
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,320
I didn't peg you for a get-to-know person and if my suspicions are right, you like to fuck too.

89
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,600
Fuck hard, fast, and forget. My eyes narrow at him.

90
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,160
So let's cut to the chase. You want me and I want you.

91
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,040
Let's just fuck it out and get it over with.

92
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,960
He is right. I don't ever want to know the men I sleep with.

93
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,800
But when it comes to people I work with, I sure as hell want to know what I'm getting myself into.

94
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,960
One night can turn into a scandal quickly, and if my boss hears about it,

95
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:04,400
it'll undo everything I've worked for. I may want this. I may even like his assertiveness

96
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,840
and the pure masculinity that oozes from him, but I don't want to risk my chances.

97
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,920
Well, what you say pretty face. I shake my head.

98
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,760
Uh, no thank you. Please leave me alone.

99
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,760
I swivel my chair and face the other way, and after a few minutes of silence,

100
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,560
I turn around to see the seat next to me empty. I breathe a sigh of relief.

101
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:35,760
I thought he wouldn't have left without a fight. It's kind of disappointing.

102
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:42,080
And now I feel bored. Wait a minute. The bastard has left me with the tab.

103
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,480
Well, he left me something all right, but not money. I pick up the white card next to his

104
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:56,240
half empty glass. It's a business card with a barcode marked scan me. I scan it and up comes

105
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:04,240
a profile of him. Only fans. What the fuck? Everything is locked. I can't see a goddamn thing.

106
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:12,000
His profile picture is a shot of him bareback lying on a bed. Well, I'll be damned. I'm intrigued.

107
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,360
Fucking intrigued. How can the head of HR at the company have an only fans account?

108
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,360
What does this even mean? Wait, is he a prostitute? An escort or something?

109
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,440
Am I supposed to pay for his services? Like, what the fuck?

110
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:34,080
Behind the card is his phone number written on it. I'm not going to call him. He's not that slick.

111
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:41,840
But I keep the card. For evidence? Yes. Evidence.

112
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,200
I pay the tab and head back to the building where my car is parked underground.

113
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:54,640
Ugh. Now I'm thinking about him. I should have left the moment he showed up. But no,

114
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:03,200
I wanted to feel some type of way. I'm not going to call him. He is not my type. And he is young.

115
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,400
And he is also a workmate. No, but on the other hand, he left me with the damn tab.

116
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,600
I should call him and give him an ear about being unmanly. But maybe that's what he wants.

117
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:28,160
Maybe he wants me to call him. This might just be a trap. Fuck it. I text him instead. Me.

118
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,160
You left me with the tab. I get an immediate response with Neve's home address followed by

119
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,120
Well, come do something about it. Why the fuck would I go to a stranger's house?

120
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,240
I start my car and stare at the message. Then another one comes in.

121
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,280
Neve. We don't have all night. We have work tomorrow.

122
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,640
This bastard is so full of himself. Yet I am sitting in my car contemplating ongoing.

123
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,120
Me. Don't tell me what to do. Neve. Time is ticking, sweetheart.

124
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,080
Ah, fuck it. It's been two weeks.

125
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:17,200
Hey Raiders, you have met the end of Twin Flame, The Condo, Part 1. Stay tuned for Part 2. See ya.

126
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:35,840
Bye.
