Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 74
Alexander’s POVPatrick and I ran into Fred as we entered the Lynx World building. We had all had lunch together today, along with Henry and Rick. The girls had been shocked by the flower arrangements we'd sent.At first, I thought it was too over-the-top and didn't want to send them, but Patrick and Henry convinced me with the idea that it was so excessive that the girls would call us to complain, giving us an opportunity to pick them up from work and spend time with them. Rick and Fred liked the idea too, so we went ahead with this extravagant gesture.When Patrick and I reached the girls' floor and approached their desks, I realized just how massive the arrangements really were. They had stacked several books in the corner of their desks to create a sort of pedestal for the arrangements, just so they could see their computer screens.Looking at that scene, it was as if they were working under trees. It was truly enormous. I glanced at Patrick, and we had to stifle our laughter."How

Alexander’s POVHalf an hour later, I was at Patrick's house, furious with myself for letting this company fraud situation go so far that it had affected my relationship with the woman I love, and equally angry about having to leave Catherine for a meeting."Sorry for messing up your plans, Alexander, but we couldn't wait. We need to decide quickly how to act," Alan said while greeting me."It's okay, Alan, I just want this all to end, kick these traitors out of my company, and get my Catherine back," I said wearily. "But what's so urgent?""Well, you already know Leda, right?" Alan asked."Yes, she was placed as a coffee lady along with Mrs. Margaret on the executive floor," I said. "Oh no, don't tell me Mrs. Margaret is involved in this mess?""No, Alexander, fortunately, the other employees with access to the executive floor are highly trustworthy, we've tested them all," Alan reassured me. "But as it happens, Leda and Mrs. Margaret get along very well, and as we suspected, Mrs. Mar

Alexander’s POVMargaret had just started to air the dirty laundry, as they say, and she hadn't even gotten to the worst part yet."I found out a long time ago that Celeste and Johnson are having an affair," she said. When I heard this, my jaw dropped to the floor. "They've been carrying on this indecency for about ten years now. I discovered it by accident one day when I caught them making out in the fire escape. I thought it was horrible, they're both married. But it wasn't my business, it's their private life. Though I always catch them making out or her calling him. They don't know that I know, they've never seen me, and well, I'm just the coffee lady, I'm invisible, right?""Not to me, Margaret, and not to Patrick and Mari either, you know that." I held her hand."Yes, I know, my boy. I changed your diapers!" She smiled. "Catherine and Rick treat me very well too. And your parents were wonderful people, they always showed me respect and consideration, they didn't deserve to die in
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 77
Alexander’s POVI was shocked by everything Mrs. Margaret had already told, but she kept talking, and with each new revelation, I became even more horrified by the things happening right under my nose that I hadn't noticed."You know those detectives you hired to look for a young woman?" she asked, and I nodded. "Well, I got curious because I saw them all whispering with Celeste when they came to see you. The last one, I saw him one day with Johnson and Celeste at that tiny coffee shop near the office. I'm friends with the owner and I always go there. I only heard Johnson saying he was very satisfied with his service, but I had seen you telling Patrick that he hadn't discovered anything and said it was impossible to find the woman, so how could he be satisfied?"My God, Mrs. Margaret was a bombshell! She knew too much and had answers to many questions. This conversation would take hours! I needed some air and to let Catherine know I wouldn't be returning to her house. I asked them to w

Melissa, Virginia, and I went to the mall to meet Tess and Sam, who had told us that the store where she worked had received several beautiful dresses. So we arranged to meet up, check out the dresses, and grab something to eat."Girls! I'm so glad you're here!" Samantha greeted us with a huge smile on her face."Oh girl, I was dying to come here because those dresses they wore on Saturday were absolutely stunning!" Virginia spoke with her usual enthusiasm."Sam, we need some scandalous little dresses to drive our men crazy," Tess chimed in, making us laugh."I've already picked out some amazing pieces and matching shoes," Samantha was all excited."You could share the customers, you know, Samantha," we heard a woman speak from the cash register."No, I can't, Cybele," Samantha replied impatiently. Cybele was the store's cashier, and Sam had caught her ex-boyfriend with her."And we all want to be helped by Samantha, not anyone else," Melissa said with a stern face.We sat down and Sam
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 79
We left the store and the guys took us to the restaurant on the third floor. It was indeed very nice and pleasant."Oh my gosh, guys, I don't even know how to thank you! Just with what you bought, I've already hit my monthly target. Thank you!""Don't mention it, Sam. The dresses are wonderful and we love them," Melissa assured her."Actually, Sam, we should be thanking you for making our women look so stunning," Patrick smiled, looking at Virginia."Sam, do you like working at the store?" Alexander asked."I do like it, but it's not what I want to do forever. It's exhausting, not all customers are as amazing as these girls, and the schedule with working weekends and holidays isn't exactly ideal," Samantha replied."Would you like to come work with me?" Alexander said, and we all looked at him in surprise. It would be wonderful for Sam to work at Group Miller."Alexander, thank you, I know you're offering me a job at Henry's request, but I won't accept it. You don't have to do this fav
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 80
Alexander’s POVWhat the hell was happening? Where did those three demons come from? Damn it, we were having such a good time with the girls, my Catherine was almost forgiving me, then this evil creature shows up and ruins everything.And it wasn't enough for them to appear and throw themselves at us, that witch Anna Caroline had to say we had "a night of love" on my couch. Night of love my ass, I was in an alcoholic coma. But how could I explain that to Catherine? She wouldn't believe that I couldn't remember anything, that I wasn't in my right mind. My life was over!When they turned their backs on us, Patrick, Henry, and I looked at each other and jumped up in a flash, throwing those three ridiculous women to the ground."Ouch, honey, what's that for? You hurt me!" Anna Caroline screamed from the ground. "Help me up.""I already warned you to stay away from me!" I told her, radiating hatred.I looked with disgust at that ridiculous woman sprawled on the ground, ran to the cashier, a
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 81
I went back to sleeping poorly and crying until I fell asleep after finding out that Alexander had been with that unbearable Anna Caroline while he was begging for my forgiveness. I was exhausted, with no energy for anything.The workday had just started, and I was at my desk talking with my boss and Virginia. She was speaking enthusiastically."Boss, your wife will love my brother's bar. You have to take her there.""Looks like your brother's bar might become her favorite spot," Maurice said with a smile.Melissa arrived and stopped between us, seeming to have something urgent to tell us."Sorry, Maurice, but can I talk to these two for a minute?" she asked."Of course, Melissa, go ahead. They're trying to convince me to take my wife to Virginia's brother's bar.""Oh, you really should. You told me your wife loves dancing, right? It's super fun there," Melissa said kindly."Look, boss, just let me know and I'll have my brother reserve an amazing table for you. If it's just the two of

Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 167
Samantha’s POVI was relieved to see my mother was okay. It was incredibly lucky that Enzo ran into her - one of those things that nobody can explain, where some call it luck and others divine providence. But I can definitely say this kid saved me again. After they told everything that happened at the mall and Henry confirmed that the Nicole who was with my mother was the same Nicole who was his ex-girlfriend, everything made sense.And we were heading to the police station - my mother, Enzo, Henry, and me. Honestly, I just wanted to go home, but Flavian asked us to come there, so there was no way around it."Henry, why did Flavian ask us to go to the police station?" I asked, still not accepting that I couldn't go home."Sam, you were the victim of Romulus's setup. It was a fake kidnapping, true, but clearly intended to force you to go to him. Plus, your mother's phone was stolen and used for this." Henry repeated the same thing, but I felt he was hiding something from me."I want to

Flavian’s POVI had to say, this raid on Pipote Hill was only supposed to serve three arrest warrants for homicide, but it turned into a complete mess. Three drug dealers dead and two cops wounded, all because they wouldn't let us in. It was all because of that punk Sandro who decided to set up a drug spot here. I only decided to serve these warrants personally snice one of them was Sandro's drug spot manager, and I wanted information about this Romulus guy.At least no civilians were hit. People keep talking about stray bullets, but there was no such thing - there are only bullets that find their targets, and innocent people became those targets, which really upsets me. But fortunately, this time no innocent civilians were shot. Though one of the subjects named in the warrants died - he was one of Sandro's soldiers. We arrested the other two. That was six fewer criminals on the streets."Let's move out, team!" called the military police sergeant who came to support us. "Detective, I t

Samantha’s POVI was getting increasingly nervous. As the car moved toward my destination, I felt more helpless, scared, and distressed. The taxi driver, a very kind gentleman, watched me through the rearview mirror while keeping his eyes on traffic. He drove slowly and carefully, perhaps due to his age, making sure not to cause any accident.My phone rang and I grabbed it from my purse - it was Enzo. I couldn't answer him, I just couldn't. But he persisted. He always did, and I always answered. I thought it through - if I didn't answer, it would raise suspicions. Sure, Michael must have returned to the company, but he probably thought I was in another department and wouldn't be alarmed yet. Maybe he was still looking for me inside the building. So, it was better to answer Enzo.When he told me he was with my mother, I couldn't believe it. Then he put her on the line, and I heard her voice. I couldn't hold back anymore, started crying, and explained that Romulus had called me from her
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 164
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

Samantha’s POVMy bachelorette party was the most fun event I'd ever been to, despite the snake incident. Erica and Emilia had really outdone themselves. 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. It was nice to have that peaceful moment with him, knowing the upcoming week would be hectic with wedding preparations, even though everything was already set.This week, I needed to get ahead with all my work since I'd be on my honeymoon with Henry the following week. Starting Thursday, I wouldn't be working as I'd be at the beach house overseeing all the wedding setup. I was so busy that during lunch, I just had a quick snack while working and turned Manu away when she came for afternoon coffee.Then my phone st

Romulus’s POVLittle Samantha must have been crazy if she thought she could ghost me like that. I've called several times and she won't answer, where could she be hiding? 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. I was going to do the job and blame the old man, but the idiot got arrested and was even trying to go back on our deal. He wanted little Samantha all to himself - that was pure greed.But little Nicole was still
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 161
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
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch S2-Chapter 159
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
