Semua Bab Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Bab 751 - Bab 760

Lexie's POVThe evening before, Patrick hadn't been very pleased that I'd talked to Virginia. He said he was worried she might manage to ruin our relationship, but I assured him she wouldn't succeed. And she really wouldn't, especially I knew he loved me. After work, we went to his place again and slept in his bed, which meant a lot after everything.But after talking with Rick, I'd become suspicious - what he said somehow made sense. Manu and I talked to Melissa, and she said she would figure it out for us. She would find a way to discover what was going on."Back from your gossip session, my sweet?" Patrick emerged from his office just as I sat down, making me laugh."I forgot my boss likes seeing me at my desk," I teased him, and he smiled."Actually, he prefers seeing you on his desk." He kissed me while I laughed. "I'm meeting a client at the club and won't be back until after lunch. Will you stay out of trouble?""I'll try!" I joked, and he sighed."Control yourself!" He gave me

Patrick's POVFlavian was looking at me with his hand on his hip, his face flushed red. He looked nervous and ready for war."Who came looking for Lexie?" I asked, walking toward her. She seemed glued to her chair, not getting up to hug me like she always did."That creep William Bridges!" Flavian shouted, and nervousness took hold of me."What does that piece of trash want with my girlfriend?" I asked, feeling a wave of anxiety."That idiot came to demand the wedding! To insist that Lexie honor my mother's word and marry him!" Flavian was furious, and so was I. "Man, I don't know what my mother was thinking.""Has that moron completely lost his mind? What's going on in his head?" I asked, feeling irritation growing inside me. "My sweet, you attract trouble the moment you step foot outside the office, it's unbelievable! You're not leaving this office alone anymore.""Patrick, he came here," Lexie said in a low, discouraged voice."I know, my sweet, calm down," I tried to comfort her, b

William’s POVI needed to figure out a way to get close to Lexie, but clearly that company wasn't going to work. She hadn't shown up at the apartment where Sabrina gave me the address for in two days - I'd been watching. My only option was to keep an eye on the building where she worked and follow her when she left."Ugh, this is so boring, Will! Why do we have to sit here?" Sabrina complained from the passenger seat."Because Lexie is in there and I need to find a way to approach her," I answered for the third time."But this is so dull! Just sitting in the car watching..." I don't know why I agreed to bring Sabrina along. She'd whined so much about being bored and insisted she could help that I'd given in. But so far, her only contribution had been giving me Flavian's address."Sabrina, you didn't have to come, but you begged. So deal with it. Just sit quietly, okay?" I kept my eyes on the building's entrance, but nothing unusual had happened."What are you even going to do, Will? Sh

Melissa's POVI was sitting across from a woman who had once been my friend, but at that moment, she seemed like a stranger. Virginia was thinner, with dark circles under her eyes, and had clearly been crying when I arrived at that hotel. There in front of me, she looked suspicious, full of secrets, and seemed to be carrying a burden too heavy to bear. Whatever she had done, wherever she had been, it was certainly something that would fill her with shame in front of us.I even felt sorry for her, but then I remembered how Patrick had been left, and I remembered what my father had told me since I was a child, "Melissa, you need to learn that you're free in this life to choose whatever you want, but know that your choices will have consequences, good or bad depending on what you choose, and you'll have to deal with them alone." And that was it - Virginia had made choices and was dealing with her consequences."I don't know if I want to tell you the truth. After all, you're not a priest c

Virginia's POVI woke up with a headache, and it was about to get worse, as Tess was sitting in front of me looking none too pleased."Sleeping Beauty has awakened!" she said in a combative tone."Good morning to you too," I replied and sat up in bed."Care to tell me where you were yesterday? I left in the morning to meet with the lawyer and when I came back you weren't here," she asked in a complaining tone."I went out and when I came back you weren't here! So I went out again," I answered in the same tone."I went looking for you," she complained. "Where did you go? What happened? Because something happened, you came back and went straight to bed without saying a word.""So you're going to control me now?" I was tired of Tess always wanting to know everything I did."I worry about you, Vivi!" She softened her tone."I went to the club. I ran into Patrick there. But he rejected me again," I said sadly."Vivi, we made a deal, I know, but things have changed around here, it's better t
