Alex’s POV

The cameras were set when I stepped behind the curtain. It was just two minutes before the press conference. Two minutes before I either steady the company and survive the media attacks or let everything my father had built for years crumble in my hands.

I was supposed to feel ready. I had been confident all weekend.

The plan had been simple. But right now, everything was out of control and I hated when I didn’t have control. My mind was continuously worried. I thought of Rosa in the sickbay and wanted to be by her side, my heart ached for my father’s worsening conditions, and I feared the press conference was not going to go well.

I turned to look at my father. I had brought him to the back stage with me, hoping by some miracle, he would accept the tea the nurse was offering, and walk up to the stage with me. But he looked far from okay and he wasn’t even responding to the nurse anymore.

It was a terrible disaster.

I rubbed my hand over my face and sighed in exasperat

  • In love with my boss   Perfect recipe for disaster

    Rosa’s POVI was nervous. Alex wanted a date. A fucking private date…in public!As much as it made me excited that he wanted to commit to me alone, I was scared of the public's judgement. A boss-employee relationship?That was the perfect recipe for disaster.Especially when it looked like she was an underqualified staff getting high end jobs. Nepotism would be a kinder way the public would call it. But Alex Kane was damning the consequences as though his entire world had narrowed to me alone. But amidst the storm, I was looking forward to having a date with him. The last time I had been on a date was when I was still friends with Charly, when I held a secret crush for him, and would do anything to be in his space. But the moment he suggested we got married, our lives became more private than a billionaire’s offshore account. Chales never took me out to the public. He was always giving the excuses, and even when I set private dining experience in the house, he was always tired. Thi

  • In love with my boss   Blissfully oblivious

    Patra's POVI watched her, blissfully oblivious, Rosa Castillo, my ‘friend’.She was so naive. Always have been. Presently, her eyes sparkled as she recounted the weekend like it was some fairytale that came to life. She didn’t know the truth —or maybe, it was my smile that always made her think she could trust me. The ex that broke my heart?It was effing Charles Baker. Not that we dated, really. But I liked him. Then I started calling him Charly. I fabricated ways fot us to meet in college, and he fell for her instead. And now, she had taken another man I liked. Alex Kane. And the irony? She was spilling her happiness directly into my hands, like she was inviting me to rejoice with her, while all I felt was burning fury. I pretended to smile, to listen, like I have done all these years. She was so lost in herself, always, that she didn’t see my hands clenched under the desk as she described Alex’s grand gestures. The forever clause…it should have been mine and it made bile rise

  • In love with my boss   It's a bar, not a puppy

    Charles’ POVThe cool air slapped me in the face when I stepped outside. Somehow, it was supposed to make me return to reality but reality stung worse than the alcohol burning my system.A small bar was tucked between two old buildings, its neon sign the only thing that indicated its presence.Morgan’s bar. When I pushed the door open, it smelled exactly the same and it made my chest tighten painfully. I slid into the booth at the far corner. It was the one I always took.The one we always took.A drink was placed in front of me by the bartender even before I asked. “You haven’t been here in a while, sir,” he said. “Yes,” I muttered. “I know.”“I see you on the TV now,” he continued, smiling proudly. “The bottle’s on the house.”I nodded.“And the lady…? The one you always come with.”I stared at the bottle, refusing to respond. “I’m sorry, sir,” he apologized, realizing it was a sensitive topic. He hurried off but didn’t take away the memories he had left open…the ones that hurt

  • In love with my boss   Perfect uselessness

    Charles’ POVI slammed the door behind me with a force that threatened to collapse the entire building. I didn’t care if the whole damn building came down. My head was pounding and my jaws were clenched so tightly that it felt I would never be able to unclench them again. All I could hear in my head was Patra’s stutter and Bush’s anger, the sound of his shoes walking out of Baker Tech. I had been so hopeful and she had ruined everything under flimsy excuses.I stepped further into the penthouse, craving solitude. A stupid vase was in my way and I kicked it across the room. It shattered against the marble with a sound that made me want to break more things.Then another sound erupted from the room.“Charles…babe?”Nancy.The moment I saw her standing there in her perfect hair, perfect makeup, and perfect uselessness, all I felt was rage. “What?!” I snapped, irritated by her presence. I had spent a fortune buying her a car and all she did was sit at home all day. And now, I was about t
