A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss Chapter 346
MadisonThe driver opened the door, and Alexander stepped out first, then extended his hand to help me. I hesitated before taking it, trying to ignore the warmth that spread up my arm at his touch. Outside, the air smelled of river water and damp earth. A salt-and-pepper-haired man in a suit approached from a parked SUV, accompanied by a younger woman clutching a portfolio. "Mr. Knight," the man called, extending his hand. "Sam Donovan. We spoke on the phone." "Mr. Donovan." Alexander shook his hand firmly. "This is Madison Harper, my project manager." "Ms. Harper." Donovan shook my hand. "This is Jessica Wells, my associate." Jessica nodded, her eyes darting between Alexander and me with barely concealed curiosity. "Shall we begin the tour?" Donovan gestured toward the complex. "We can start with the main building." As we walked, Donovan launched into a detailed history of the property. It had been a textile factory in the early 1900s, then converted to various industrial uses

MadisonMy phone buzzed with a text. Reflexively, my heart jumped. Alexander? But it was just Jackson. Jackson: Thanks again for dinner. Next time, my treat for real. I smiled and typed back. Me: Deal. And thanks for being understanding about my work schedule. Jackson: What are friends for? Besides, I'm just as bad. We can be workaholics together. The idea was oddly comforting. Maybe that was what I needed. Someone who understood my dedication to work without judging it. Someone who wasn't paying my mother's medical bills or making my heart race with a single glance. Me: Goodnight, Jackson Jackson: Goodnight, Madison. Don't stay up all night with spreadsheets. I laughed out loud, earning a curious glance from the cab driver in the rearview mirror. The apartment was quiet; Mom must have already gone to bed. I kicked off my shoes by the door and padded to the kitchen for a glass of water. A note on the counter caught my attention: Had a wonderful dinner with Mrs. Miller. Don'

MadisonI took a large sip of wine, buying time. "I don't pay attention to gossip." "Smart. Though it must be interesting, seeing the reality behind the public image." "It has its moments," I said vaguely, desperately wanting to change the subject. "How about you? How's the new job going? Last time we met, you were just starting at Mercer Financial." Jackson brightened, setting down his fork. "It's actually going really well. Better than I expected. The team is solid, and they've already put me on some interesting projects." "That's great to hear." I was genuinely happy for him. "Settling in okay?" "Yeah, took some adjusting after London, but New York feels like home again." He twirled the last bite of pasta. "The commute is brutal, though. Might need to move closer to the financial district." "The eternal New York dilemma: location versus rent." "Exactly. Speaking of which, how'd you score that apartment? The location is incredible." "Got lucky with timing. Right place, right

MadisonShe led me to a cozy corner table partially secluded by a decorative wine rack. It was perfect for conversation without shouting over the dinner crowd. I settled in, declining a glass of wine until Jackson arrived. While waiting, I checked my phone, a habit I couldn't seem to break. No messages from Alexander. Not that I expected any. Our workday had ended without incident, just the usual professional exchanges about the Riverside property we'd be visiting tomorrow. I set my phone face-down on the table, forcing myself to break the habit of checking for messages from Alexander. The waitress approached and offered me another glass of water. "Still waiting?" she asked sympathetically. "Yes, he should be here any minute," I replied, checking my watch. Jackson was now twelve minutes late. Maybe this dinner had been a mistake after all. I drummed my fingers against the table, contemplating whether to call him or just order an appetizer. After another few minutes of waiting, I

MadisonThe afternoon dragged on with back-to-back meetings about the project. By five o'clock, my eyes burned from staring at spreadsheets, and my coffee cup had been empty for hours. "I need caffeine," I muttered to myself, stretching in my chair. I headed to the cafeteria, grateful for the chance to move my legs. The space was nearly empty this late in the day. The coffee machine hummed as I pressed the button for a plain black coffee. While waiting, I scrolled through emails on my phone, deleting the unimportant ones. Coffee in hand, I made my way back to the executive floor, taking the long route to clear my head. The project was progressing well, but Alexander's birthday party still loomed in my mind. The blue dress hanging in my closet felt like a statement waiting to be made. When I returned to my desk outside Alexander's office, he was standing there reviewing some documents. "Ms. Harper," he said without looking up. "Just the person I needed to see." "Mr. Knight," I r

MadisonTuesday morning's bright sunlight slashed through the half-open blinds of my apartment as I finished the last sip of coffee. I was already running through the day's schedule in my head. I glanced at my new blue dress hanging on my closet door, the price tag still attached. What had I been thinking? I adjusted my black pencil skirt and smoothed my cream blouse before grabbing my laptop bag. The Manhattan Project files were organized in perfect, color-coded folders, my favorite part of being a project manager. Organization kept me sane, especially when other parts of my life felt wildly out of control. Like my feelings for my boss. Or ex-arrangement partner. Or whatever Alexander was to me now. When I arrived, the executive floor was quiet. I set my things at my desk and checked emails before preparing Alexander's morning coffee. His office door was closed. I knocked twice, balancing the coffee cup in one hand. "Come in." Alexander sat behind his massive desk, his suit ja
