The CEO's Secretary And Secret Lover

Blair cuts her business trip short and walks into her apartment to find her fiancé Dan in bed with her cousin Laura. She grabs a bat, shoves it against his chest, and tells them they are done. Dan tries to lie—his right eyebrow gives him away—but Laura confesses it has been going on for months, since soon after he moved in. Blair walks out without looking back. She takes a taxi to Kingston Industries, finds Roman's liquor cabinet, and starts drinking. Roman walks in, takes the bottle from her, and listens as she tells him about Dan and Laura. She kisses him, needing to feel something that does not hurt. He warns her there is no going back, but she gives her verbal permission—clear and deliberate. They spend the night together.

The next morning, Blair wakes in Roman's penthouse. He tells her he has no regrets, that her relationship with Dan was already over in her mind. She worries about working together—his ex-wife Jessica was his secretary too. Roman says he will not fire her and claims her as his. He sends her with Peters to pack her things and move into his estate. At the apartment, Laura confronts Blair, begging her to tell the family she ended the engagement and not say why. Laura reveals she is pregnant with Dan's child. Blair refuses to lie and tells Laura she has had a lucky escape. Back at the office, Roman calls her in, locks the door, and pulls her panties off while taking a business call—his fingers finding their target as he continues his conversation, a smug smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
