"Kathy," he started, an apologetic expression spread across his face, "I think that it was clear you are my employee."

"Do you usually go to bed with your employees?" I fired back.

"No," he shook his head. "Our situation is a bit... unique."

"Dylan, the first night that we slept together... we had no idea. But as soon as I stepped foot into your office, I was willing to put it all behind me. But this... this thing that we keep doing confuses me," I told him earnestly.

A knot had formed itself in the pit of my stomach and I felt like Iwas hanging by his every word. Inside me, there was still a small ray of hope.

"I had no intention of confusing you," he replied, evasively.

"So you really feel nothing?" I asked for a final time. It was stupid and redundant, but I just wanted to hear him say the words.

"I have already answered that," he replied at once.

"Right," my tone betrayed the hurt that I felt. "I guess I just got confused by the whole pretend-girlfriend thing."

"I am sorry," he sa

  • In Bed With My Billionaire Boss   chapter 45

    ∞∞∞There was only so much TV one person could watch in a day to keep them from spiraling into unwanted thoughts. And I was at my limit. Sitting on my couch, I flitted through the channels on my TV screen.As mind-numbing as the entertainment was, it did give me a momentary reprieve from thinking about Kathy. After hours of torture, it was getting closer to evening and I couldn’t help but wonder what she must be up to now.Was she out having dinner with Kevin by now? I wondered if my sabotage attempts had worked at all, if Kevin was too swamped and had to call off their date. Wishful thinking, of course. My phone rang as soon as I put down the remote after finally turning off the TV screen. Hoping it to be a new form of distraction, I picked it up instantly without even checking the caller ID.“Dylan,” my mother’s sweet voice greeted me from the other end of the line.“Mom?” I sat up a little bit straighter on the sofa. “Is everything okay?”“I am glad you picked up,” she sounded reli

    “Oh, would you happen to know who they are?” I said with an eyebrow raised.She bit down on her lip. “One of them is Kevin, and the other…”“Stop,” I waved my hand in front of her to dismiss her. “On second thought, I have a lot of work to go through. Let everyone know that I am busy for the day and not to disturb me.”She looked a bit perturbed at the random timing of her dismissal but nodded and left me alone promptly. So, it seemed that my worst nightmare was coming true after all. Kevin clearly had a big mouth and he had been chatting away to everyone about his date with Kathy.I felt possessive instinct take over me and almost called Kathy in to make her call off her date with Kevin. But before I could press the call button, I stopped myself and took a deep breath.The news of their date was too fresh for me right now and I was clearly having a hard time controlling my reaction to it. I paced around the room and concluded that being in the office was not helpful for my mental hea

    Dylan“Please excuse me,” Kathy said to me before getting up and walking away. I opened my mouth to stop her, but no words came out. A part of me wanted to tell her to stay, and that she was right all along.We did have something between us. And that I, too, could not deny it. But every time the thought occurred to me my brain automatically pushed it back down.Love was terrifying. I was not sure if I even believed in such a thing.As I watched her walk away from me, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had just made the biggest mistake of my life. I was letting her walk away instead of letting her in.Sometimes, I didn’t understand myself. I could not fully comprehend or justify why I was so afraid of love. Perhaps I was afraid one day I would turn into a monster like my dad, hurting and destroying the most important relationships in life.It was time to drink my bitter feelings away.∞∞∞The weekend was over and everyone had returned to the office. Life was once again back to the sam

    “You also feel jealous when you see them with another woman,” Caitlyn replied.“Jealousy is a normal human feeling,” I shrugged. Though I remembered how awful I had felt when Carla had walked into Dylan’s office.Caitlyn chuckled at my response. “Okay, then how about this. You catch yourself thinking about what it would be like to spend the rest of your life with them. That’s usually a clear indication.”I opened my mouth to come up with a response but then shut it back up again.Until then, I had not given any thought about our future together. I hardly had him in the present moment as is. But suddenly, an image of me in a wedding dress walking down the aisle with Dylan waiting to hold my hand popped up in my head.And as much as I wanted to deny it, I liked the image of it.“Looks like you’re in love with someone for sure,” Caitlyn remarked, observing me from a distance. “But you’re in denial about it.”“How would you know that?”I knew that I had feelings for Dylan for sure. I wond

    All the teams lined up around the obstacle course and Dylan carefully put a blindfold on my head to cover my eyes.“Don’t worry,” he reassured. “We’ve got this.”When Lauren announced it was time to go, I had to completely rely on the sound of Dylan’s voice to move through the obstacle course.“What do I do?” I said, panicking slightly. I was flailing my arms around, trying to feel anything that came my way.“Kathy, I need you to calm down first,” his voice was so authoritative, I froze up instantly.“Okay,” I replied, feeling a bit breathless suddenly.“Listen to my instructions, okay?” he said and I nodded.“I need you to take one small step forward, and then move to your left,” he said.I nodded, trusting him completely.“Good,” he said. “Now, be careful. There’s an obstacle in front of you. I need you to go over it. Can you do that?”“Am I going to fall on my face?” I asked, scared.“I’ll catch you if you do,” he assured me. “One the count of three, I want you to jump forward.”To

    Kathy“Can you believe they made us get up so early in the morning?” Caitlyn groaned, picking at her perfectly trimmed and manicured nails.The company had made sure that everyone gathered in the meeting room for a special ‘Team Building’ session.“Yeah, it’s pretty lame,” I replied, stifling a yawn.I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night.Someonekept me up all night long. My body was aching and I felt exhausted but my heart was content.“I’d rather be lying in the sun by the pool, ugh,” Caitlyn groaned. “Wait, do you think I can still pull out if I pretended to be sick?”An involuntary chuckle escaped my lips at her antics.“I’m sure it’s not going to be that bad,” I offered a half-baked reassurance. “It’s supposed to boost the morale.”Caitlyn rolled her eyes.“Do you really believe that? They have these useless things every year. It’s all a load of crap. Doing it over two days is the worst idea ever.” she said.“I see,” I pursed my lips. “Hey, do you think Dylan is going to be here?
