Scarlett's smile faltered for a split second. "Fine. Let's talk business." She pulled out a tablet from her designer bag. "I've been looking at expansion opportunities in Europe and Asia. The markets are ripe for-"

"No." I turned back to my laptop.

"You didn't even look at the projections."

"Don't need to. The board's already made their position clear."

She huffed, sliding off my desk. "The board is full of old men stuck in their ways. With your support-"

"The board," I cut her off, "consists of experienced investors who've been in this game longer than you've been alive. And they're right - your expansion plan is too aggressive."

"Our profits are up 300% from last year!"

"And instead of paying dividends, you're burning through cash like it's going out of style." I leaned back in my chair. "What happens when one of your gambles doesn't pay off? When a market crashes or a competitor undercuts you?"

"That won't happen."

"Really? You have a crystal ball I don'

    MadisonAlexander shrugged, looking out the window. "Consider it a thank you for the gossip articles collection." "A thank you that costs several hundred dollars per ticket?" "Would you prefer I send her a fruit basket?" His tone was dry. I laughed despite myself. "No, she'd hate that. But she'll think this is weird." "Then make up something convincing." His fingers drummed on his thigh. "Tell her I'm trying to impress you with my generosity to your friends." "That actually might work," I admitted, tucking the tickets into my purse. "She'll be thrilled. It's her favorite show." "I know." At my questioning look, he added, "You mentioned it once." "I'll text her now," I said, pulling out my phone and quickly typing a message to Hazel. Alexander leaned back against the leather seat. "Alright. Let her know the car will pick her up at six." "The car?" I raised an eyebrow. "She can meet us there." "It's easier this way," he replied dismissively. "Less chance of her being late." I

  • A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 289

    MadisonA woman in her forties stepped forward, introducing herself as Diane Peters, the lead architect. "Mr. Knight, we've revised the atrium design as requested." She unrolled a large blueprint across the table. "The central skylight has been expanded by thirty percent, allowing more natural light throughout the main concourse." I positioned myself slightly behind Alexander, tablet poised to capture key points. His presence filled the small space, commanding attention without effort. As Diane explained the modifications, I noticed how everyone leaned forward when Alexander spoke, hanging on his every word. "The cost implications?" Alexander asked, his finger tracing the outline of the atrium. A thin man with wire-rimmed glasses cleared his throat. "We've run the numbers, Mr. Knight. The additional glass work adds approximately $1.2 million to the budget, but we believe the energy savings and increased foot traffic will offset this within three years." Alexander's eyes narrowed.

    MadisonI swallowed hard. "Just tired. Someone kept me up rather late last night." "And early this morning," he added with a smirk. His fingers inched higher on my thigh. "Perhaps you need more coffee to stay alert." "What I need is for my boss to keep his hands to himself so I can focus on work." Instead of withdrawing, his hand slid higher, disappearing under my skirt. "Are you sure about that, Ms. Harper?" My breath hitched as his fingers traced the edge of my panties. "Alexander, we're almost at the site." His eyes darkened with desire, but he didn't remove his hand. Instead, he leaned closer, his breath warm against my ear. "Change of plans. We're stopping for coffee first." "Coffee?" I squeaked as his finger dipped beneath the elastic, teasing me. "Yes, coffee." His voice was low, controlled. "I find myself needing the... stimulation." I bit my lip to suppress a moan as he withdrew his hand, adjusting my skirt with infuriating casualness. "You're terrible." "So I've bee

    MadisonWhen I unlocked my apartment door, I was immediately hit by the smell of coffee and bacon. Mom was up and cooking, which was both a relief and a concern. "Madison?" she called from the kitchen. "Is that you, honey?" "Yeah, Mom," I answered, dropping my purse on the entryway table. "You're up early." I found her at the stove, spatula in hand, looking better than she had in weeks. The color had returned to her cheeks, and she moved with more energy than I'd seen since before her diagnosis. "Thought I'd make my baby girl some breakfast," she said with a smile. "You're always rushing around these days." "Mom, you shouldn't be on your feet so much," I protested, moving to take the spatula from her. "The doctor said—" "The doctor said moderate activity is good for me," she interrupted, swatting my hand away. "And standing at a stove making breakfast counts as moderate in my book." I sighed, knowing better than to argue. "Fine, but let me help at least." Mom waved me away wit

    MadisonHe rewarded me by returning his attention to my clit, sucking it between his lips while sliding two fingers back inside me. "Fuck, fuck, fuck," I chanted, feeling my orgasm building rapidly. Alexander looked up at me, his eyes dark with desire. "Let go, Maddie. Let me see you fall apart." His fingers curled inside me, hitting my G-spot with unerring accuracy. Combined with the relentless attention from his tongue, it was too much. "I'm coming!" I cried out, my back arching as waves of pleasure crashed over me. He didn't stop, continuing to lick and suck as I rode out my orgasm, prolonging it until I was pushing at his head, too sensitive to take any more. Alexander crawled up my body, his cock hard against my thigh. "That's one. I think we can do better." He flipped me onto my stomach and pulled my hips up, positioning me on all fours. "Wait," I gasped, still reeling from my orgasm. My body trembled, caught between desire and the nagging thoughts about Katherine's call

    MadisonBefore I could process this, his tablet chimed from the bedside table. I looked over to see the same name flashing on the screen. Katherine was apparently trying every method to reach him. I picked up the tablet, intending to silence it, when I noticed the notification showed multiple missed calls from the same contact over the past few days. Three yesterday. Two the day before. My finger accidentally swiped the screen, opening his photos app. I froze. Staring back at me was Katherine, the mysterious ex-girlfriend I'd been so curious about. She was even more stunning than I'd imagined. Long blonde hair, piercing eyes, and a smile that lit up her entire face. Alexander had his arm around her waist, looking at her with an expression I'd never seen on his face before. I swiped again, unable to stop myself. More photos. Katherine in a bikini on a yacht. Katherine and Alexander at some gala, her in a red dress that hugged every perfect curve. Katherine asleep in what looked lik
