Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 41
Alexander’s POV I sat in a dark room in my apartment. I couldn't look at my bed without remembering the incredible night I had with Catherine, feeling despair take over me knowing it had all been a huge lie. How could she do this to me? I was consumed by the pain of that woman's betrayal.Since that party years ago, the day my parents died, I hadn't gotten involved with anyone, saying I wouldn't fall in love after being abandoned by that woman. But then I let Catherine into my life so quickly. Actually, I didn't let her in, she simply arrived and occupied all the space. And she was the snake that struck and completely destroyed me.I was in heaven today and suddenly got dragged to hell. When the hacker called saying that only Patrick, Mari, and I should go because he already knew where the information had leaked from, I couldn't imagine it had been her, the woman I was falling in love with.When I read those emails, I felt like I'd been run over by a steamroller. The first one I could

Johnson’s POVI leaned back on the bed and lit a cigarette, blowing the smoke and watching it disappear. I smiled and said to the woman beside me:"Congratulations, darling, you were excellent, once again. I'll transfer some money to your account so you can buy something nice." I smiled, thinking about her husband who believed she was a saint. "I just don't know how your idiot husband doesn't suspect where your money comes from?"I looked at my mistress lying naked beside me. It wasn't the first time she had passed information and done little favors for me; we'd been lovers for years, and no one had ever suspected. She was deceitful, and I liked that about her. She laughed when I asked about her husband, and taking the cigarette from my hand, she took a drag and said:"My husband really is an idiot. He thinks everything I buy is fake and that I wear costume jewelry. He's as stupid as Miller, who can't see what's happening right under his nose. But I don't understand how such an idiot c

I feel completely lost, not knowing what to do. Mel left early, insisted on taking Peter to daycare, and Lygia insisted on spending the day with me. I thought it was great, she's a wonderful person who gave me lots of advice and told me that no hardship lasts forever.Mel left in the morning and told me not to do anything, saying she would talk to her father and we would decide what to do tonight. But I was uncomfortable with this, I was already imposing too much on the Larsons.Lygia and I had lunch together, and she told me about her children and grandchildren, none of whom lived in Paradise Port - they all lived too far away for her to see them every week. She told me how happy she was to be able to take care of Peter.In the afternoon, she went to the market and said she would pick up Peter afterward, telling me to rest, but I took the opportunity to call my parents. I was going to tell them what had happened and that I would be coming home.The intercom rang, and the doorman infor

The next day, we left early. When we arrived at the office, Mr. Martin called us into his room."Catherine, how are you? I spoke with Patrick, and he's worried. He filled me in on what happened, didn't go into details, but it seems Alexander was being an idiot.""Mr. Martin, I'm not sure if he was being an idiot, but I didn't do what I'm being accused of," I replied, already imagining he had changed his mind about hiring me."I'm sure you didn't, Catherine. I've known the Larsons for very long time, they wouldn't vouch for you if they weren't certain of your integrity! And if Oliver Larson thinks you're the most honest person on Earth, I'm certain you are." Henry Martin said, giving me a warm smile. "Unfortunately, I can't offer you a position as good as the one you had, but I need another person in the sales department. The salary is good, and you'll handle the work easily, so if you want it, the job is yours."I gave him a genuine smile, accepted the job, and thanked him for the oppo

Alexander's POVYesterday, I came to work with a terrible hangover and wasn't in the mood for anything. Mariana, Alan, Patrick, and Rick spent the day defending Catherine, saying they couldn't believe she would send those emails and betray me like that. They reprimanded me for not listening to her and were now waiting for the audit results to see what they would uncover.Mariana had gone to the finance department to get the documents that were supposedly being verified. When she got there, Johnson called me, outraged, spewing nonsense in my ears, but I was too tired to care. I just told him to hand everything over to Mariana if he didn't want to lose his job.Mariana collected the documents and took them to the auditors. I told Alan it was pointless since the documents were there and Johnson handed them over, Celeste hadn't leaked the information. Alan warned me that since he already had copies of everything, it would be best to compare them, and he would tell me today if everything ma

Alexander’s POVI returned to the office feeling like a caged animal. I was desperate; all I wanted was to run after Catherine and beg for her forgiveness. But I couldn't just do that - she was at work, at Martin's company, and I couldn't simply barge in there. That would be disrespectful, and she would hate me even more.But I wasn't going to wait until the end of the day. So I decided to go after her. I left the office, telling Celeste I wouldn't be back. I wanted to drag that snake out and kick her out of my building, but I couldn't do that either. I had to wait, wait... it was maddening.I went to Martin's company with a whirlwind of thoughts racing through my mind. But I would ask Henry for help to speak with Catherine without causing her any embarrassment."Good afternoon, Mr. Miller. How may I help you?" Martin's secretary was always very professional, even though she found it strange that I showed up there without an appointment in the middle of the workday."I'll handle this,

"Miss Catherine, Mr. Martin wants you to come to his office immediately," my new boss said, appearing at my cubicle. "You can go up now. Have you finished that list I gave you?"I looked at that short, stocky man with his round tortoiseshell glasses and smiled. He was quite a character, but he was very kind and would hum all day long in the office.I had been assigned to the commercial department, where the entire floor was open with cubicles arranged in groups of four. The only enclosed office belonged to my boss. It was a busy and colorful environment, filled with noise - everyone was talking all the time, either on the phone or to each other. I found it so relaxed and interesting that I thought I would adapt well here. I had even made a friend already, but now with Mr. Martin calling, I worried he might have changed his mind about hiring me.I looked up and handed some folders to my boss, confirming:"Yes, Mr. Maurice, everything is organized here with reports. Would you like me to

Alexander’s POVI was completely in shock when Henry handed me a glass of cognac."Drink this, it'll calm you down. And after you're calm, tell me what happened," Henry said very seriously and picked up the phone. "Maurice, I'm giving Ms. Catherine the rest of the day off. Thank you."Henry hung up the phone, sat down across from me, and drank with me. After three shots, I finally managed to say:"I screwed everything up, Henry. I ruined my only chance at happiness. I love this woman, and I messed it all up, made her hate me."Henry took another sip of cognac and spoke softly:"Since when are you a defeatist who gives up at the first closed door?"I looked at him as if five more heads had grown on his neck - he didn't seem to understand that Catherine hated me."I'm going to call Patrick later and the three of us are going to get drunk at my place," he said, standing up. "Give me your car keys."While I was handing him my car keys, Henry called Patrick, and we left the office and went

Enzo’s POVBeing a student was getting harder and harder. The English teacher decided to make us read a book that was almost impossible to find. I had to trek all the way across town because out of all the bookstores in the malls, only this one had it. Everyone was complaining that they couldn't buy the book because they couldn't find it. I spent two days on the phone and finally tracked it down. So I rushed to secure my copy to avoid getting a zero on the test that the teacher had already warned us about.But since I was at the mall, I might as well take a little walk around. I bought the book first - I had reserved it, but you never know if someone might accidentally sell my copy, so I went to the bookstore first. When I left, I was walking through the food court when I spotted Aunt Pearl at a café nearby. I had to say hello."What a coincidence! Aunt Pearl, how are you?" I approached and noticed she was with a younger woman who was pretty but strange-looking."Enzo, darling, what a

However, it wasn't as enjoyable for Henry, who was tense and worried when he came to pick me up.At home, he told me about his suspicion that Isabella had sent the snake, and I was surprised - I hadn't thought that insufferable woman would be so brazen.We spent Sunday at home, resting and just enjoying each other's company.

I needed to teach her a lesson, but this week I couldn't put my plan into action since Sandro needed me to check the accounts at his drug spot.Sandro wanted me to move to the hill, but to be honest, I preferred little Nicole's apartment, it was better located. But there's no way around it, I made a deal with him and he was the boss. He only gave me one more week to sort things out with little Samantha.I would use this week to resolve my situation with little Samantha and deal with little Nicole too. I was running out of patience with her, but it had to look like an accident, after all, she's Sandro's sister.

Henry’s POVI arrived at the Social Club with Edward and Enzo. The guys had reserved a room there and they'd gone all out - they'd set up a room with a pool table, poker table, and arcade games, leather sofas scattered around, and a 1950s-style bar stocked with every kind of drink. This was going to be fun and relaxing."So, ready for your last bachelor party bender?" Patrick asked as soon as I arrived."I thought this day would never come." Alexander approached and handed me a glass.Only then did I notice they were all wearing the same t-shirt - a black one with a cartoon of me being dragged by a rope tied to my foot by a cartoon of Sam, with "game over" written below. These guys were acting like kindergarteners.As if the t-shirts weren't enough, they had prepared several activities, and they all involved lots of alcohol. I probably wouldn't remember my own name the next day.I was already slightly drunk when I saw Flavian answer a call and slip out of the room. When he came back, h

Samantha’s POVThe plans for the night were explained, and the girls decided to start the games. Soon we were all seated, and a bowl with folded papers was placed in front of me."Let's start with the lingerie, everyone grabs your box," Erica said, kicking things off."Okay, Sam, you'll draw a paper and read what's written. To win the gift, you have to guess who experienced the situation described in the paper. If you guess wrong, you'll have to share a situation that happened to you. When you open the present, you'll keep your eyes closed and feel around to figure out what it is. Got it?" Emilia explained the rules of the game."Oh my god! Alright, let's begin," I said and drew the first paper. "On my first time, my boyfriend and I watched some movies to learn because it was his first time too. When we tried to do a position we saw in a movie, I accidentally kicked him in the face, and he fell off the bed and broke his nose. I ended the night still a virgin and in a hospital making up

Samantha’s POVThe week had finally ended, and it had been exhausting. Romulus kept calling and threatening me, but Flavian said the wiretap was active and they were gathering lots of evidence, including proof of other crimes Romulus was committing, so he'd be arrested again soon. But it was horrible to keep getting his calls and hearing threats, not knowing what to expect.As if that wasn't enough, ever since he found out that Edward's sisters were organizing my bachelorette party, Henry had been pestering me to know what they had planned, why I'd let them organize the party, and if there would be any kind of wild rituals, as he put it. I assured him I knew nothing about it, but that he shouldn't worry. However, he kept suggesting every five minutes that we should ditch our friends and family and spend time just the two of us. He was driving me crazy with this whole thing, but I wouldn't budge - I was having my bachelorette party, and it would be fun, he'd just have to deal with it.I

Henry’s POVThe week was coming to an end. The days had been challenging, but in a week, I would say yes to the woman of my life, and we would be united in marriage. However, what truly united us was our love. And each day, I loved her more.If someone had told me a while back that I would be eager to get married and have a family, I would have called them crazy. But at those days, that was all I felt - eagerness for the wedding, for the arrival of my child, eagerness to get home every day and see the woman of my life smiling at me. I was a lucky man; I had everything that made me happy and even more."Good morning, Henry!" Melissa greeted me with a very cheerful and festive hello."Good morning, crazy girl! What's got you so happy?" I asked, finding her too effusive."Oh, I don't know, maybe a girls-only party tomorrow, or the wedding of history's biggest ladies' man next week..." Melissa pondered, looking up with a pen in her mouth, making me laugh."Mel, what's going to happen at th

Reynold’s POVI was still wondering how that idiot Henry managed to get to that hotel. When Samantha walked in, I was sure she was expecting to meet him, and just by her being there, I knew she hadn't talked to that fool. But somehow he found out and ruined my plans.And that wasn't all - he showed up with that brute of a detective who immediately started pushing me around. God, that detective's hand was heavy; the punch he gave me in the face still hurt.I just wanted my night of pleasure with Samantha, and I wasn't willing to share my first time with her with that little thug Romulus. I made a deal with him, but I wasn't interested in waiting until he felt like letting me fuck that hot piece. So I handled it my way - borrowed some money from Reuben and put my plan into action. I remembered the lunch at Hebe's house when Samantha was talking about how Henry would make romantic surprises and always give her red roses - such terrible tackiness! But it was useful because she fell for my

Samantha’s POVIt was very difficult to calm Henry down when I called to tell him what happened at the dinner. He wanted me to quit immediately, and it took a long time to convince him that I was safe inside the company.I knew he would rush out of his office to come to my workplace again, which was happening far too frequently lately. Fortunately, it was already the end of the day, so his work wouldn't be left aside once more because of me.Henry arrived in less than half an hour, leaned on my desk, and looked into my eyes - his irritation was palpable."Samantha, I wasn't happy about you working and being exposed to danger before, and now that you're pregnant, I like it even less. We should rethink this," Henry placed both hands on my desk and immediately voiced his concerns."And what do you expect me to do? Stay locked up at home?" I asked calmly. "Because that's not going to happen.""Sam!" Henry threw himself into the chair in front of my desk, completely frustrated. "I don't wan
