A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss Chapter 391
AlexanderWe ate in silence for a while. The food was good, better than I'd expected from a family restaurant in Connecticut. Around us, conversations flowed, families laughed, the kind of normalcy I'd never quite managed. "Katherine called me yesterday," Anthony said suddenly. I looked up. "What did she want?" "To ask about you. Said you've been distant lately. Not answering her calls." "I've been busy." "With work or with stalking your ex-assistant?" "Can we drop it?" "No." Anthony set down his fork. "Look, I like Katherine. She's smart, ambitious, and good for your public image. But you don't love her." "This again." "Yes, this again. Because someone needs to say it." He met my eyes. "You've been engaged for five years without setting a date. That's not normal. That's avoidance." "It's complicated." "Everything with you is complicated." He signaled for another beer. "What if Madison really has moved on? What if she's dating that Christopher guy, or someone else entirely?

AlexanderWe descended to the ground floor, Palmer providing more historical details that would probably be useful for marketing once the development was complete. If I decided to pursue it. Outside, Palmer locked the main entrance and turned to face me. "I've had three other interested parties. Two want to tear everything down, and one wants to convert it to luxury condos exclusively. You're the first to talk about preserving the character." "The character is what makes it valuable." "I like you, Mr. Knight." He extended his hand again. "Get me those reports within two weeks, and assuming they support your assessment, we'll talk numbers." We shook, and Palmer climbed into his Mercedes with a final wave. I stood there for a moment, evaluating the building with fresh eyes. Solid investment. Good location. Owner willing to negotiate. All the pieces aligned. Except I'd taken this project primarily as an excuse to be in Connecticut. *** I pulled into the café parking lot at 5:30,

AlexanderThe Whitmore Inn appeared on my GPS twenty minutes later, a converted Victorian mansion that screamed boutique charm. I parked the car and entered a lobby with exposed brick walls, inviting antique furniture, and a crackling fireplace, despite the mild weather. "Welcome to The Whitmore," the clerk greeted me with genuine warmth. "Checking in?" "Alexander Knight. I should have a reservation." She typed quickly, nodded, and produced a key card. "Room 304. Third floor, corner suite. Best view of the property. Will you be dining with us this evening?" "No, thank you." "Well, if you change your mind, our restaurant serves until nine." She handed over the key with a smile. "Enjoy your stay, Mr. Knight." The room was exactly what I'd expected. Tasteful without being ostentatious, comfortable without being luxurious. A king bed lined one wall, a sitting area filled another, and the bathroom boasted a clawfoot tub. I moved to the window overlooking downtown, a main street wit

MadisonOur food arrived. Ethan dove into his spaghetti with the enthusiasm of someone who'd never eaten before, sauce immediately decorating his face. "Napkin," I reminded him. He wiped his mouth, leaving a red streak across his cheek. "This is so good!" Despite everything, I smiled. "I'm glad you like it." Across the restaurant, I heard Anthony's laugh. Loud, carrying, the kind that made other diners look up. Alexander's voice followed, too low for me to make out words but unmistakably his. That particular cadence, the way he spoke with authority, even in casual conversation. I focused on my pasta, twirling noodles with mechanical precision. "Mom, can we get dessert here, too?" Ethan asked around a mouthful of spaghetti. "Maybe. Finish your dinner first." "I am finishing it!" He shoveled in another huge bite to prove his point. "Slow down. The food isn't going anywhere." He ignored me as he continued his assault on the spaghetti. Movement caught my eye. Anthony stood, pu

MadisonI twisted Ethan's dinosaur shirt, trying to get his squirming arms through the sleeves. "Can we get dessert?" He bounced on one foot while I wrestled with the fabric. "A big one? Like this big?" His arms spread as wide as they could reach, nearly smacking me in the face. "We'll see." I pulled the shirt down and reached for his shoes. "Right foot first, buddy." "But I want a big dessert. With ice cream. And chocolate. And more ice cream on top of that ice cream." "That's a lot of ice cream." "I know!" His eyes sparkled with the kind of pure enthusiasm only a four-year-old could muster. "Can we get pizza too? With pepperoni? And can I have soda?" "No soda. Nice try." "But Mom!" "Nope." I tied his shoes and stood, smoothing his hair. "Go ask Grandma if she wants to come with us." He raced from the room, his footsteps thundering down the hallway with all the grace of a tiny elephant. I grabbed my purse and keys, checking my reflection in the hallway mirror. The blue dres

MadisonI found Christopher's number and dialed before I could second-guess myself. It rang three times before he picked up. "Christopher?" I said, gripping the phone. "Hey, Madison. What's up?" I could hear the hum of office chatter behind him, the click of keyboards, someone laughing. "Where are you right now?" "At the office. Why? Everything okay?" I paced the kitchen, phone pressed to my ear. "I need a favor. Actually, more of a warning." "Okay." His tone shifted, curious but cautious. "What kind of warning?" "Remember the guy at the café the day before yesterday? The one in the expensive suit?" "Hard to forget. He looked like he wanted to murder me with his eyes." Despite everything, I almost smiled. "That's Alexander Knight. My former boss." "Your former boss showed up at your café and glared at me? That's weird." "Yeah, well, it gets weirder. I told him we're dating." Silence. "Christopher?" "You told your ex-boss that we're dating? Why?" I stopped pacing, stari
