Chasing The Boss Lucian
The second time I walked into the Cross Media Entertainment boardroom that day, everything had changed. The same twelve people sat around the same mahogany table, but the dynamic had shifted completely. Where there had been cold calculation before, now there was nervous energy. Where there had been judgment, now there was respect.And where I had been desperate before, now I was in complete control."Gentlemen," I said, taking my seat at the head of the table like I'd never left. "I understand you'd like to discuss my reinstatement."Webb cleared his throat. "Lucian…”“Mr. Cross.” I cut him off.“Sorry, Mr. Cross, we owe you an apology. The board acted precipitously this morning. We failed to consider the full scope of the situation.""You mean you failed to consider that firing me might actually hurt the company more than my relationship ever could?" "Yes," Morrison said quietly. "That's exactly what we mean, sir."I leaned back in my chair, studying their faces. These were the same

I watched Lucian's press conference from Mia's laptop with my heart in my throat as he stood before those reporters and declared his love for me to the world. The man I'd walked away from to protect was now risking everything to defend me.“Lexi Carter is not the villain in this story. She's a journalist who has spent her career fighting for truth and justice. She's someone who makes me want to be a better person, a better leader, a better man. And if loving her is a crime, then I'm guilty as charged.”Tears streamed down my face as I watched him speak with such conviction, such unwavering certainty. This wasn't the corporate executive I'd fallen in love with. This was the man beneath the suits who’d made me laugh until my sides hurt."He's incredible," Mia breathed, watching over my shoulder. "Look at him. He's turning the entire narrative around."But even as pride swelled in my chest, fear gnawed at my stomach. He'd just destroyed his career for me. The company he'd built, the repu

The conference room at Cross Media Entertainment had never felt smaller. Twelve board members sat around the polished mahogany table, their faces set with the grim determination of executioners. At the head of the table, Harrison Webb shuffled through papers like a judge preparing to read a verdict."Before we begin the vote," Webb said, his voice carrying the weight of five years of professional relationship, "I want to give you one last chance to reconsider, Lucian. End the relationship. Issue a public statement. We can spin this as a temporary lapse in judgment."I looked around the table at people I'd once considered allies. Some avoided my eyes. Others stared back with cold calculation. A few, like Morrison, actually looked disappointed that I'd forced their hand."No," I said simply."Then we proceed with the vote." Webb's expression didn't change, but I caught the flicker of something, regret, maybe, in his eyes. "All in favor of removing Lucian Cross as CEO of Cross Media Ente

I woke up on Mia's couch to the sound of my phone buzzing incessantly. Sunlight streamed through the windows, and for a blissful moment, I forgot why my chest felt like it had been carved out with a rusty spoon. Then reality crashed back down.Lucian. The board meeting. Walking away from everything.My phone showed seventeen missed calls from numbers I didn't recognize, plus another dozen texts from Lucian that I still couldn't bring myself to read. But it was the notification from my news app that made my blood run cold."CROSS MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT IN CHAOS: CEO FACES BOARD REVOLT"My hands shook as I opened the article. The headline was bad enough, but the content was worse. Someone had leaked details about the board meeting, about the vote of no confidence, about the ultimatum they'd given Lucian. And my name was splashed across every paragraph like a scarlet letter."Sources close to the company confirm that Cross's relationship with former employee Lexi Carter has created a crisis

I stared at my phone for the hundredth time, watching my calls go to voicemail. Lexi wasn't just avoiding me, she was shutting me out completely. And with every unanswered call, every ignored text, I felt her slipping further away."Sir?" Marcus appeared in my doorway, looking as exhausted as I felt. "The board is requesting another meeting.""Tell them to go to hell.""Sir, with respect, that's not going to solve anything."I looked up at him, seeing the concern in his usually impassive face. Marcus had been with me for eight years. He'd seen me through hostile takeovers, failed deals, and media scandals. But he'd never seen me like this."She's gone, Marcus." The words tasted like poison. "I finally found something that mattered more than this company, and I lost her because of it.""You haven't lost her yet.""She resigned. She moved out. She won't take my calls." I laughed bitterly. "What part of that suggests I haven't lost her?""The part where she cried when she walked out of h

Walking away from Lucian was the hardest thing I'd ever done. Every step toward his office door felt like I was tearing a piece of my heart out and leaving it behind. But I couldn't look back. If I looked back, I'd run straight into his arms and damn the consequences.The elevator ride down felt endless. My reflection in the polished steel doors showed a woman I barely recognized, hollow-eyed, pale, broken. Three weeks ago, I thought I'd found my fairy tale. Tonight, I was living in the ashes of what could have been.Mia was waiting for me in the lobby, her face creased with worry. "Lexi? How did it go?""It's over." The words came out as a whisper. "I ended it."She wrapped her arms around me as I finally let myself fall apart. "Oh, honey. I'm so sorry.""Take me somewhere," I sobbed into her shoulder. "Anywhere but here."Mia drove us to her apartment in silence while I stared out the window at the city lights blurring through my tears. Every billboard, every building reminded me of
