In love with my husband’s boss 24
NICHOLAS’s POV “You’re supposed to eat your food” Melissa’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. We ended up at a small restaurant away from all the city noise. Melissa sat across from me, the sunlight catching her hair. I found myself studying her as she ate her food and mine just lay there getting cold. “You’re distracted about something” she leaned back in her chair. “Am I?” I tried to keep my tone light. “Yes you are. It has nothing to do with the phone call you got earlier right?” She was observing me now. “Uh no” I shrugged. “Everyone has off days you know”. “If you say so. I'm not complaining about the free lunch anyway” I smiled. She had a way of lighting up the mood no matter what. “Hurry, eat up. This feels dangerous” “Dangerous?” I questioned “You know….. Mixing business with..” her voice trailed off. “With what? Pleasure?” my voice was so low but I was sure she heard it because I could spot a faint blush rising in her cheeks. “Nevermind” she m

It was raining when I stepped into the office lobby, my umbrella dripping onto the marble floor. I shook out my coat and tucked my bag under my arm, nodding to the receptionist as I made my way to the elevator. “Melissa.” I stood straight. I didn’t have to turn around to know it was Steve. I did anyway. He stood there in his dark grey suit, almost matching the look in his eyes. “I was hoping we could talk” he said, standing there with a false sense of warmth. “I have nothing to say to you,” I replied, stepping into the elevator. He followed me in before the doors could close and I wasn't surprised. The air between us was thick with unsaid words, and I kept my eyes on the floor numbers lighting up one by one. “You know, this little show of independence?” he said. “It’s cute. But it’s not going to last.” I turned toward him, jaw clenched. “And what exactly is that supposed to mean?” “I’m giving you a chance to stop this madness before it goes any further. I'm

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. It was time for me to get back to work. I got up and dressed up, putting my hair into a ponytail. The weather was a bit cold so I decided to throw on a coat. I got into the Redmond building, the receptionist and headed straight to the elevator. Once I reached the office floor, I could already feel his presence. He definitely had a way of infecting a room with his presence. My heels clicked against the marble floor of the executive wing as I walked toward my desk outside Mr. Redmond’s office. I caught a glimpse of Steve beside the glass walls. He was surrounded by some junior workers but he wasn't saying anything and I could tell he had seen me. “Morning, Melissa,” Jenny greeted me with a cheerful smile which startled me. I managed one in return, though it felt a little forced. “Hey, Jules.” I sat at my desk and pulled up my schedule, needing something to distract me from the tension in my chest. I was able to get some work done and just

NICHOLAS's POV I smoothed out the creases on my suit and walked towards the conference room. I could already see from the transparent glass wall who it was and I wasn't surprised a bit. “Mum?” I said as I walked in through the door. She looked at me long and hard. I could tell by the look on her face that she wasn't in a good mood. “Nicholas” she spoke. Yup, she was serious. “You ignored my calls this morning” I nodded frantically, “Yes mother, I did. I promise I didn't want to ignore you, you called in the early hours of the morning and I wasn't fully awake yet” She folded her arms, “Why aren't you going to show up, like I asked you to?” “Mum, we already talked about this. I'm quite busy, my hands are full” “Is this how you want to keep behaving? You want to get wrapped up in work that you won't have time to get married?” My mother was a lot of things, and dramatic was the biggest of them all. She had set a date with one of her friends’ daughters and insisted I ge

MELISSA’S POV I stretched and opened my eyes slightly as the morning sun seeped through the curtains. I blinked slowly awake. At first, the odd scent of cedarwood disoriented me. It wasn't my room. The previous day came rushing in, the near accident, Nicholas bringing me to his home, him asking me to stay and me over hearing his conversation. I got up from the bed and walked over to the closet he had earlier told me about. Inside was a collection of clothing. I could tell some of them were designer clothes if not all. I checked them out and they were one size bigger but I was okay to manage. I settled on a sweater and a pair of sweatpants and made my way towards the kitchen. Nicholas was already there. He got to his feet when he saw me, “Good morning, Melissa. I see your ankle has gotten a bit better” I nodded “Good morning boss” my ankle was indeed better. It only hurt when I put pressure on it. He was dressed in his corporate shirt and pants but the top buttons of the

NICHOLAS’S POV Melissa sat in my home office, her ankle and knees wrapped in bandages and a blanket over her shoulder. I had called a doctor to come over to my house to check on Melissa. Even though she wanted to go to the office, I insisted she follow me home and see a doctor. After the doctor left and assured me everything would be fine, I finally said, “I think someone wanted to scare you or scare me.” I leaned against my desk. “Do you think… do you think Steve had anything to do with it?” Her voice was low. The silence that followed said more than words ever could. I didn't know when I moved across the room and got on my knees beside her. I stared into her eyes, “I don't know yet. But I promise you Melissa, I won't let anyone hurt you” I saw her gulp and shift in her chair but I meant every word of that promise. I don't know where the sudden urge to protect her from everything came from, but I wasn't pushing it away. I wanted to protect her, even if it's from her psych
