Rosa’s POV

I thought I would pass out from anxiety.

Alex must have noticed how uneasy the suspence was making me. Velastra was speaking to someone on stage and I had no idea what was going on.

Alex squeezed my hand. But he didn’t say a thing.

“I have to announce that Rosa Castillo made a huge donation to tonight's event when she bought that dress!”

What?!

Before I could turn around and question Alex, the sound of claps filled the hall. Cameras flashed. I caught Charles’ shocked expression and Nancy’s flushed face.

How did I go from homeless and heartbroken to donor and celebrated?

It was a wild evening.

“Why did you -”

Alex winked at me. “Perks of being a Kane.”

I was in the clouds all though most part of the event. I had no interest in the award ceremony; I was only here because Alex needed a plus one. The outcome was already known. This year, Baker Tech, had been leading in three out of the four quarters, thanks to me. But he never acknowlegded that.

It was funny and sad at ho

  • In love with my boss   57. A woman called Evelyn

    Rosa’s POVWe scampered through the corridor, past the doors I was beginning to get familair with, and stepped into Old man Kane’s room.He was sitting upright in bed, but he wasn’t really in the room. His eyes were shut tight, lids trembling as though he was fighting the urge to open his eyes, as though if he did, he would see something frightening. It broke my heart to see him that way. His hands kept shaking uncontrollably against the sheets, fingers curling and uncurling, like they were grasping for something only he could see, and was out of reach from him. Then he started mumbling. At first, it sounded like nothing and more like broken breath. My instinct kicked in and I figured out tea would calm him down. It always did. I rushed to the small counter in the corner while Alex sat beside him, ssqueezing his hand, and ttrying to calm him down. I almost knocked over the electric jug as I fumbled for it. My hands shook as I filled it with water, plugged it, and searched for the te

  • In love with my boss   56. Failed confessions

    Rosa’s POVI knew his touch even when I was asleep. It was gentle, and sometimes, it was rough. But I could always feel his touch and smell him.And that morning, his famailiar hand was sliding over my arm and brushing down to my waist like it was trailing down a familiar path. I didn’t open my eyes immediately. Now when I wanted to revel in the warmth of his touch.My lips curled into a satisfied smile before I opened my eyes.“Good morning,” he murmured softly, his voice low that it felt like it was speaking inside if me. I hummed, stretched slightly, and pressed my cheeks deeper into the pillow, wanting to remain just like that. His fingers tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I finally opened my eyes. Alex sat on the edge of the bed, the morning sunlight bathing his skin in a way that made his skin glow. He was already dressed. And in his hand was a small box. My smile widened, already knowing the box was for me.“For me?” I asked still.“For you,” he said simply.I pushed my

  • In love with my boss   55. Like a dream

    Charles’ POVThere was a sound drilling into my skull, like it was coming from inside my head. I groaned in pain and turned. I could feel my head throbbing and the sound echoing continuously. Then I realised it was my name. “Charles! Charles!”I threw my eyes open and the light of the room blinded for a second before a figure stood between me and the light. At first, I thought it was Rosa.“Rosa?” I mumbled.But Rosa didn’t have brown hair. The woman leaned closer and her mouth was moving fast. It felt like some crazy dream or a hangover hallucination. Then her voice sharpened.“What did you fucking do last night, Charles?”Nancy?I blinked. It was the sound of her voice. I pushed myself upright…too fast. The room tilted and my stomach lurched, threatening to throw out. I forced it down and peered at the figure in front of me. “What are you screaming for?” I snapped, rubbing my face. I was still trying to gain control of myself and remember where I was. “What the hell is wrong with

  • In love with my boss   54. This isn't social hour

    Rosa’s POVMy body was still humming from the after effects of the night before. I wanted to remain in bed or barge into Alex’s room, demanding he continue what he started. But an email from Valis had sent me out of the house before Alex woke.I smiled to myself already plotting how I would annoy Alex later —anything to watch that dangerous look flicker in his eyes. I shouldn’t want that version of him so badly, but I can't help it. As I grabbed the steering wheel, the email from Valis played in my head. He had requested an urgent meeting. Nothing else was said. I told myself it was good news as I drove towards the company. I didn’t want to tell Alex yet and I hoped I would be returning with good news. Well, I was wrong. Because the moment I stepped into the conference room, my heart dropped straight to my stomach. And it felt like it had dropped from the top of a high building. Charles Baker was there. He stood near the window with a relaxed posture, as if he hadn’t just spent we

  • In love with my boss   53. You belong to me

    Rosa’s POVFor a moment, I thought the gift was from Alex. My heart was racing with excitement. Everyone was looking at me and even my dance partner had stepped away. Just before I took the gift, I caught Alex watching. He didn’t look happy.That was when I realized the gift wasn’t from him.When I turned back to the delivery man, my heart was beating differently.I managed to speak. “Who’s this from?” I demanded.“It’s signed," he said, pointing to a small card.I braced myself and peeked at the card. It was my favourite poem. Only one person knew that. Charles Baker. I started shaking my head. “I cannot accept this,” I said.“I’m sorry, miss,” was all the delivery man responded.The longer I delayed, the more people around watched. Phones were already lifted and they were videoing the moment. I grabbed a pen and signed. Then I pointed to a corner. “Keep it over there, please.”I had no intention of touching the gift. And whatever Charles Baker was doing had to end. I excused myse

  • In love with my boss   52. An anniversary

    Rosa’s POVTonight was Kane Tech’s anniversary. I was feeling dull all day and tucked in bed —maybe it was the after effects of visiting William Bush and the outcome of the meeting that made me feel this way. But I knew I had to be present for the ceremony.Alex had insisted we arrive together, maybe it would be the perfect time to tell the company about our relationship.“A hint,” he said, pulling me to himself. It was a tempting offer. But I knew the risks involved.“I’ll be right behind you,” I told him. “In my own car.”He kissed me softly on the lips, and even that little touch sent electricity through my body. “If you keep kissing me and holding me this way, we might both be late to the event.”“I don’t mind,” he responded.I pushed him off. “The CEO can’t be late to his event.”Presently, I sat in my car, exhaling deeply as I stared at the lavish decorations that were wrapped around the building. It was a sight to behold. But dread curled up in my chest the longer I stared at
