Rosa’s POV

We stopped at a resort. It was beautiful and seeing it made me wish I hadn’t chosen to stay at the ranch in the first place.

Our luggage was taken care of while Alex led me to our suite.

“It’s wonderful,” I said when I saw the room.

But I was too tired to truly appreciate the beauty around me. All I wanted was to lie down and wait for the next two days to pass. Alex sat at the edge of the bed with a towel draped over his neck and a small bottle of oil in his hand.

  • In love with my boss   142. A video from the past

    Evelyn's POV I could only trust them as far as I could throw them with my left hand, and that was not far at all. I had just survived an accident, and I did not need anyone to tell me it was her.Rosa.That desperate social climber.HR had already told me she had a secret. Something big. Something she was waiting to use at the perfect time.Of course she saw me as a threat. I was gladly one.She probably tried to kill me, then called hours later pretending to care. And Alex? He had already been completely blinded by her.How could he not care that I was gone the entire day, only to show up and start demanding apologies from me?No.If this was what having a brother felt like, I would rather be alone.The moment they stepped out, I followed them. I was not going to sit in that hospital room while they planned to kill me. They had not gone far when I reached the door. They stood close, speaking in low tones, like they were sharing something important. Rather, like they were plotting so

  • In love with my boss   141. It was like telling a wall to move

    Rosa's POV By the time we got to the hospital, Evelyn had already come out of a minor surgery. She was sitting up in bed with that same smug look, like she was waiting to be scolded and ready to argue back.“What happened?” Alex asked the moment we got in.I stayed back, choosing a quiet corner and letting him handle it.“I was in an accident,” she said after staring at him for a few seconds, like she was deciding whether to respond and how to respond.The doctor had mentioned a few scratches and a deep cut on her leg. Aside from that, she was lucky.Her attitude, however, was untouched.“Why is she here?” she asked, tilting her chin toward me. “She’s not family. She shouldn’t be here.”“Rosa is family,” Alex said firmly. “The sooner you accept that, the better. And don’t think this excuses what you did. You still owe the public and that lady at the store an apology. First, you owe Rosa one.”I said nothing. I had no intention of brushing it aside.No. She needed to apologize.Evelyn

  • In love with my boss   140. It was feminine but calmer

    Rosa's POV I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.I turned to Alex. He was frowning. “Evelyn didn’t come home.”“She knows what she’s done,” he said, unbothered. “She knows I’ll reprimand her. It doesn’t matter how long she stays away. She owes the store, the staff, and the public an apology for what she did.”I nodded, though my thoughts drifted.I didn’t know Evelyn well, but I knew she was defiant. She had gone live and caused that scene knowing the consequences. She didn’t strike me as someone who would run away after doing what she did.Still, the events of the day soon pushed the thought aside. I was back in my office, arranging it to my taste. New furniture, fresh roses, and carefully selected accessories slowly turned the space into something that felt like mine. This time, I didn't feel like I had walked into a space that wasn't mine, it felt comfortable instead and when I glanced at my name on the plaque, it felt good.Later, the top executives met with the

  • In love with my boss   139. Was that a chef's cap?

    Rosa's POV The only thing that stopped me from giving Evelyn a piece of my mind was that she wasn’t home when I arrived. She had been spreading a crazy, and fake narrative about me to the public, tagging me as a gold digger who rose to success by sleeping with the boss.It wasn’t entirely true.I had slept with Alex… once. We were both drunk and heartbroken. But I had worked hard on the Valis project, and it had been so good that it gained international attention. It was time to tell my truth.I stepped into the room I now shared with Alex and collapsed onto the couch, mentally and emotionally drained more than physically. Old Man Kane’s attitude still burned in the back of my mind, but I was more worried about Charles’s silence regarding the news of my pregnancy with Alex Kane.I had five days left, and I was desperate to take control. I needed to make the moves. I needed something strong enough to keep Charles Baker away from my life for good. I didn't want to ever see him or hear

  • In love with my boss   138. From perfect morning to heartbreaking evening

    Rosa's POV We took the private entry at the back of the hospital on our way to see Old Man Kane. What we didn’t expect was a group of reporters who had figured out our route, waiting for us.They swarmed immediately, throwing us into confusion."Is Evelyn Kane’s claim true that your father is lying in a hospital room? Is that why you’re taking a private entry?""How severe is his dementia? Has the shrewd businessman really gone insane?"Alex’s jaw tightened. The reporters stood firm, blocking our way."We deserve an answer, Alex Kane."I bit my lips. No one would want news of his father’s condition out in public, especially with how cruel people could be. They wouldn't waste time in roasting the Kanes. "Whatever Evelyn said is not true. My father is retired and doing fine," Alex said."Then why are you here?" Another asked.He had no answer. I squeezed his hand, stepping slightly forward. I didn’t let go."We wanted to keep it private for a while," I said. My hand slid to my stomach

  • In love with my boss   137. I wasn't the problem

    Evelyn’s POV She was everywhere.In my mansion.In my company.In my office.Sitting on my shares.And now, she had taken over my phone too.Everywhere I looked, people were praising her like she was something rare, something special. They called her deserving. They called her brilliant.Deserving of what?I bit down hard on my lip, anger burning through me as security escorted me out of the company.My company.I shot the guard a cold look. “You’ll be the first to go when I become CEO.”I stepped into my car and slammed the door. “Start the car,” I snapped at the driver.I sank into the seat, gripping my phone as I scrolled through post after post about her.Each word fueled me and each praise made my chest tighten.My fingers moved fast across the screen as I typed:She doesn’t deserve to be a partner at Kane Tech. She’s a social climber. A gold digger and a fraud.I hit send.Another post followed immediately.She didn’t even handle the Valis project.I stared at the screen, my ja

    Nancy’s POV“Where are you going?”I turned sharply to find Charles standing by the door. I didn’t stop packing. Instead, I shoved more clothes into the open box on the bed, my hands shaking too much to fold anything properly, my brain too fazed to arrange. “I quit, Charles,” I screamed. “We’re do

My palms grew slick with sweat, my heartbeat thundering so loudly I was sure the microphones around it
