Just Before My Wedding: Trapped By My Ruthless Boss Chapter 38
KISAREL.I checked the time for the two hundred and sixth time in one hour.I dragged the back of my hand across my temple and forehead, wiping off the sweat that kept returning no matter how many times I cleared it, and pushed my bangs out of my face in frustration, but they fell right back. They always did. Right now, I wanted to cut them off with the letter opener sitting on the edge of my desk.It was already eight minutes past nine, and thankfully, Mr. Stark hadn't arrived yet. He would have added to my anxiety if he were here.My desk looked like a small explosion had happened on top of it.My hands were shaking as I ticked the last item on the rough list I made of Mr. Stark's schedule for the next two weeks - appointments, meetings, etc.I updated it on my system and forwarded it to Zen's email for printing.I moved on to the next item on the list. I could multitask.I totally could.I picked up the office phone and began dialing the numbers he asked me to call one by one, and

KISAREL.It was looking like a fine Monday morning until I decided to make a detour to the fifth floor to drop off Kloe's novel. I had borrowed it over three weeks ago and hadn't opened a single page of it — the storms in my life had made sure of that — and I figured returning it was the least I could do before she started thinking I'd kept it on purpose.I stepped out of the elevator and was heading toward Kloe's desk when Carol's voice echoed across the floor, dishing out instructions that sounded like pre-formatted commands."We have a meeting with the boss at ten. Go over your monthly report," she was telling Janice without breaking stride. "Unless you want to lose your job."My heart skipped a beat.My feet slowed without my permission.The boss.Mr. Stark was back?Didn't he say the trip was for a week?I stood there for a second with Kloe's novel pressed against my chest and felt my mouth go completely dry."Carol?" I called when she was about to walk toward Mr. Jack's office.

OCEANS."The meeting is in thirty minutes, sir," Tim reminded me, and I immediately felt the need to replace him. Since on the flight, I'd found his voice rather too annoying, and now his very presence repulsed me."And the board...""Leave, Tim," I said, still looking at my phone and wondering if calling a third time would make me look desperate."Sir?" He asked."Get the fuck out, Tim!" I almost yelled at him.He didn't hesitate. He gathered his tabs and whatever the fuck he had brought into my suit and disappeared through the door in under five seconds.Good.I needed the silence more than I needed the thirty-minute warning.It was probably around 10PM back in New York. I didn't want to believe she was already asleep. And even though she was, two calls missed? That's unlike her... Unless.Fuck. No.I didn't even want to finish that thought.And, no. I didn't give a fuck if she was fucking her boyfriend right now. That was none of my business, and I had made peace with that fact app

KISAREL."I almost thought you were trying to wash your sins away," I teased the moment he stepped out of the bathroom."Jesus, babe." He stopped dead, genuinely startled, one hand going to the towel at his waist. "How long have you been here?""Long enough to almost doze off waiting for you," I replied, my heart already racing.He crossed to me immediately and kissed me, before pulling back and looking at me with that easy smile of his. "You could have joined me or something."He crossed to the vanity and reached for his brush, the surprise already settling into something more comfortable. More like himself."Yeah. But no, thanks," I replied.We were quiet for a while. I watched him apply his favorite night cologne, with my hands folded in my lap, and waited.He came and sat beside me, close enough that his warm arm grazed mine. "You're gradually beginning to become a disobedient girl, you know?""How?" I turned to look at him."Coming unannounced." He smiled, "Someone has forgotten

KISAREL.We dialed the strange number for the sixth time and got the same nothing we had gotten five times before.Elgin made a sound beside me that sat somewhere between frustration and dread and started pacing the length of Gerald's small living room."Maybe try again later," I said. "Could be a flat battery. Could be anything.""Could be anything," he repeated, not like he was agreeing but like he was turning the phrase over and finding it insufficient. He stopped pacing for a moment. "I have a very bad feeling about this, Arel. A very specific, very French bad feeling, which is the worst kind because the French have always had an excellent instinct for disaster.""We don't need to panic just yet—""I'm not panicking. I'm having a feeling. There's a difference." He resumed pacing. "Grand-père texted a stranger four words that sound exactly like a man who has been asked to do something he wasn't sure about and has finally decided to stop running from it." He stopped again. "That is

KISAREL.Something about it kept snagging at the back of my mind and refusing to let go, no matter how many times I told myself I was overthinking it. The way I had fallen asleep — so suddenly, so completely, like someone had reached into my head and switched everything off at once. I was tired, yes. The weekend had been a lot, and I had barely slept, and my body had every reason to give out on me.But it hadn't felt like tiredness.It had felt like something else. Something heavier and faster than exhaustion, something that had taken me under without even letting me decide if I was sleepy or not.I trusted Jace. Whatever he had done — whatever he was still doing — I knew him well enough to know he wouldn't drug me. To what end? What would be the point?To have sex with me? I gave him that willingly. All he had to do was ask. And, not that we even had sex that night. Because I checked when I woke up.To make me sleep over? That wasn't enough reason to drug me.In fact, the thought alo

OCEANS.We waited for the door to be answered. It took a while, almost like Mr. Gerald was taking his time to decide whether to answer the door or not.The door pulled open a second before I lost my patience, and the man I'd see in the footage showed up looking a bit older. But he was dressed smart

OCEANS.She rounded the table slowly, and I caught her wrist when she reached me.I pushed my chair back from the desk, creating a narrow corridor of space between myself and the mahogany, and looked up at her."Sit."Her eyes dropped to my thigh and then came back up to my face with an expression

OCEANS."What the fuck is going on, Oceans?" Logan asked the moment my door clicked shut behind us."What do you mean?" I rounded the table to my seat, undoing my suit jacket."The girl. Why were you standing so close?" He gestured outside at Kisarel's office, which was demarcated by a glass wall a

KISAREL."You'll come back for them after the close of work."Oceans' words kept replaying in my head as we drove to the office in his car. We sat in the back seat together, and it was as awkward as it should be - going to the office straight from your boss's house.I wanted to take my purchases wi
