S4-Chapter 5

작가: Maria Anita
Patrick’s POV

I was furious! I felt a rage running through my veins like I hadn't felt in a long time. I'd been made a fool of, and not just by this spoiled little girl, but by all my friends. What were they thinking, making a fool of me like this?

We entered my assistant's office, which was adjacent to mine, and she stopped at her desk, somewhat hesitant. I walked past her and opened the door to my office, turning back to face her.

"In my office!" I repeated, with rage seeping from my pores.

She walked past me with her head down and entered my office, stopping halfway to my desk. I closed the door behind me and turned the lock - no one was going to interfere with this. I walked toward her and stopped in front of her, hands on my hips, carefully examining her face up close. There it was, right in front of me - she had her mother's eyes, the same deep black eyes my friend had. How did I not recognize her? I examined every detail of her face in a few seconds. She kept her eyes down, avoi

  • Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch   S4-Chapter 26

    Patrick’s POVI almost kissed her again! Being alone with this girl was becoming a serious problem, and we would be together and alone for the next few hours in the confined space of a car. I felt relieved when the elevator door opened in the building's garage.I was almost certain she was flirting with me, and when I asked if she didn't love me, it was a joke. I was expecting a cheeky, rude response, but she got flustered in that charming way, with her cheeks flushed and eyes wide. I was starting to have trouble staying away from this girl.We reached my car and I opened the door for her. She looked at the car carefully, then stared at me."A supercar? Seriously?" She shook her head in disapproval and got in the car."Sweetheart, this isn't just a car, it's a machine!" I said when I sat next to her and ran my hand over the dashboard. "It's an Aston Martin DB12! A V8, 4.0, twin-turbo, my beauty! Superior performance, better handling, more power. This is a gem, my baby!""Seriously? The

    Lexie’s POVI didn't know if I was more embarrassed or more irritated with Patrick. He could be sweet one second and an idiot the next! After spending two hours in his office with a towel wrapped around my body instead of my blouse, I thought nothing in the world could be worse, that there was nothing that could make things between us more tense. But nothing is so bad it can't get worse."Lexie, I have a problem and need your help." Manu came into my office at lunchtime, when we should have been getting ready to go home, since Alex had decided the workday would end early."Of course, Manu, what is it?""You know those cookies I ordered for the wedding? The ones that are replacing the wedding favors? There was a delay and they'll only be ready at the end of the day. And Flavian and I have an appointment to talk to Father Florian in my hometown." I looked at Manu without understanding. Our workday ended early and we had planned to hit the road early."And what do you want me to do?" I as

    Patrick’s POVThat girl had always been clumsy, and she became even more clumsy when she had good intentions. Of course the coffee was an accident, but it was very hot and it burned, it burned a lot and I had to take off my shirt. Then she gave me a cold water shower and in the process she got wet. But that was nothing, she decided to be a good Samaritan and run to get a towel, throwing herself on top of me on the way back.And then she got off me and allowed me to see more than I should have seen. Her blouse was transparent and stuck to her body, her nipples were rigid in that delicate lace bra, her curves were more than inviting and I had to cling to what I always did to push her away, be rude and mistreat her. I tried to avoid looking at her, because the sight of her wet blouse exposing her body was a temptation I needed to escape from.In the midst of the chaos, she wanted to leave my office. But I couldn't allow her to leave my office like that, as difficult as it was to be near h

    Lexie’s POVThank goodness it was Friday and we were heading to Manu's family farm after work. Mr. Guzman would be there too, but at least there I won't have to talk to him. Mr. Guzman... I've noticed he gets annoyed when I call him that, and it was my little revenge for him being such a jerk to me."Good morning, gorgeous! That smile looks good on you." Rick entered the office pantry where I was pouring myself a cup of coffee and gave me a kiss on the cheek."Oh, it's because we'll have a whole week at the farm, peace and quiet. Isn't that amazing?" I looked at him with an even bigger smile."Yeah, I really hope so, but with you and Patrick together, you never know." He laughed, teasing me.I stuck my tongue out at him, and after he got his coffee, we headed toward our offices. We parted ways at Manu's desk, and I quickly turned to say something to Rick, but he had already disappeared into his office. So I turned back toward mine, and that's when disaster struck.I bumped into Patrick

    Patrick’s POVThe next day I arrived at the office very early, having spent the night thinking about Lexie and her little marketing friend. When I finally convinced myself that the marketing friend was no longer a problem, since I'd sent him to another country, day was already breaking.I left a note on my assistant's desk, asking her to come to my office as soon as she arrived. And she did. Today she wore a cream skirt with a turquoise blouse made of light fabric with long sleeves. It was impossible not to notice her - the contrast of the turquoise blouse against her black hair drew anyone's attention to her."Good morning, Mr. Guzman. How can I help you?" She stopped in front of my desk with that professional posture that only made the memory of the little girl I once knew fade even more. Yes, she was a woman and I realized that insisting on seeing her as a girl was a lost cause."Lexie, sit down, we need to talk." I tried to appear like the man I was - decisive, who knows how to act

    Lexie’s POVThe rest of the afternoon passed in a blur. I didn't see Patrick; he stayed locked in his office the rest of the day. I focused on work, but I couldn't stop thinking about what Catherine had said, that Patrick had come looking for me."Lexie, let's go?" Manu appeared at the door and called me."You go ahead, Manu, I still need to stay." I answered without taking my eyes off the screen."Then I'll wait for you." Manu entered the room."No need, you can go, this might take a while." I replied."What are you doing?""Reviewing a contract, and it's a big one.""Then keep the car keys.""No way, Manu. I'll get a taxi.""No, Lexie, either you keep the car or I'll sit and wait for you.""No need, Manu, I'll take Lexie home." Patrick came out of his office at that moment."Well, if that's the case, I'm leaving." Manu smiled and left.Patrick went to the door of the room and after a minute came back and stopped in front of my desk."We need to talk." He wasn't even looking me in the
