The morning sun peeked through the tall windows of the Adkins estate, casting golden light across the hallways.

In one of the private rooms, converted into a gym, two very different people stood together. Penny, already dripping with sweat, was halfway through her treadmill run panting like a dog.

She has been running for half an hour now and Osvaldo has refused her to rest even for a minute. He stood beside her, flaunting his perfect abs before her eyes.

His hair was tied to the back, his trousers hanging loosely around his waist.

Penny was out of breath, her legs felt like jelly, throat burned. She felt like fainting but knew the man beside her would never let her.

He had his golden eyes on her like a hawk.

Osvaldo claims he was a genius doctor, so why couldn’t he just mix his herbs for her, rather than letting her go through this stress?

She knew she had wanted exercise, but this was too much for her.

She glared at the screen flashing in front of her. Her blue tired eyes were already on the verge of giving up.

"I... I can’t do this anymore." Penny managed when her legs finally gave out and she reached for the stop button, Osvaldo’s voice came sharp and firm.

"Walk!"

Her fingers froze.

She groaned loudly but obeyed, slowing the machine and dragging her feet like a grumpy penguin on a mission.

Osvaldo stood beside her with folded arms and a satisfied smile. "That’s my girl," he muttered, but Penny felt like she was going to die.

It would be a shame if, after everything, she would not be able to lose even a little pound.

She didn’t understand why Osvaldo was so harsh on her right now. It’s almost as if he hadn’t made her car the most expensive car in the world just last night. He was all sweet and kind to her, and right now, he was acting like he didn’t know her.

"We’re almost done Penguin." He added and Penny kept running. She bit her lower lip, determined to finish up today, even if she could see her life flashing right before her eyes.

"Five... four... three... two... one... stop."

Osvaldo’s deep voice echoed across the gym like music to her ears.

Penny didn’t even wait for him to say another word, she hit the stop button on the treadmill and dropped straight to the floor like a sack of potatoes.

Her legs spread out like noodles, her arms limp at her sides, her chest heaving. Beads of sweat trickled down her face as she gasped for air, completely out of breath.

"Water," she croaked, barely lifting her hand. "I need... water..."

She sounded like someone crawling through a desert, desperate for an oasis.

"Not yet, Penguin," Osvaldo said, strolling over and squatting in front of her with a bottle of water in his hands. There was a wide grin on his lips, dimples showing so clearly, that it was hard not to notice how boyishly handsome he looked.

He was clearly enjoying himself.

"But you did a good job today," he added, his voice softer now.

"You’re a good Penguin."

He gently ruffled her damp hair, like she was a little kid who had just won a race. Penny narrowed her eyes and slapped his hand away.

"Don’t pat my head like I’m five," she mumbled, her face flushed red, not just from exhaustion, but also because he looked way too pleased with himself.

She was dying for water and yet here he is trying to play with her situation.

"Why the anger?" Osvaldo chuckled. "You only ran for ten minutes, and you’re acting like you’ve been running for hours."

Penny’s eyes snapped wide open.

"Eat the salad, Penguin."

The fruit was dangling in front of her, sweet, red, juicy temptation.

She leaned up, struggling, stomach crunching. Her arms reached forward, face tilting.

Just an inch more...

Then FRAP!!!

Penny froze mid-crunch, horrified.

Her eyes met Osvaldo’s. He didn’t flinch. Didn’t say a word.

For one blissful second, she thought he might pretend it hadn’t happened.

Then, he wrinkled his nose.

She wanted the ground to open and swallow her whole.

"I..." she stammered, "I think the AC made a sound... or maybe the fruit is..."

"Smelly fruit, hmm?" Osvaldo said slowly, still hovering above her.

Penny covered her face with both hands. "I want to die."

"Penguin," Osvaldo said with a teasing glint in his eyes. "Why would you die because you farted." He chuckled.

He leaned closer, the fruit still in his mouth. "You still haven’t eaten this." Penny closed her eyes so tight as she took a bite of the fruit on his lips.

"You’re the only woman in the world who can gas me up and still look cute doing it." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Stop talking!" she whined, cheeks on fire. "Let me vanish in peace Mr Osvaldo." Her words only made him laugh more.
