My Billionaire Boss’ Dirty Secret 68
CharlieI awoke in a brightly lit room, in a single bed, alone. It takes me a moment to realise I'm in hospital and then the memory of the night before comes flooding back. I'm no longer in the ICU but in a private room. I look down at my arm and see bruising from where the tube that had been put into my vein. My arm feels so sore, like I've been lifting weights and my body has chills. Beside the bed, on a small table, there's a plate of chocolate chip cookies and several apple juice boxes. I remember a nurse explaining to me that the sugar helps to rebuild the blood volume. There's also a jug of water and a big cup so that I stay hydrated. I'd eaten and drunk throughout the night but exhaustion must have won in the end. I lean towards the table, feeling weak and dizzy, as if it's taking all my strength to just grab a cookie. “Charlie, let me get that for you,” Mrs Middleton says as she comes breezing into my room. She's still in the same clothes as she was last night and the dar

CharlieHours had passed without any update about Nortica’s father—the clock on the wall gruellingly ticking away the family as the seconds ticked by. We’ve watched others come and go throughout the night. Each time the double doors open we all hope to see Benji but he doesn't appear. They say that no news is good news but as time drags on I'm starting to lose faith in there being any good outcome.The chairs are so uncomfortable to sit on so I encouraged Nortica to stretch out and rest her head on my lap. I wish I could do more for her, to take this worry away and make her father better but for now all I can offer is support. I lace my fingers through her blonde hair and give her soft strokes. It's something my mum used to do when Gwen and I were sad as children and I remember how it would soothe me, just knowing that she was there. Every now and then I find Nortica’s mother watching me. She's probably wondering why I'm even here, given that her daughter broke up with me months a

When I was a kid, my parents took me to a theme park. My favourite ride was the one that spun you so fast that you stuck to the wall as the floor fell out from beneath you. I must have ridden that ride ten times that day and never grew tired of that adrenaline pulsing through my body as I clung to the wall. I feel like I'm back on that ride, clinging to the wall as the bottom drops out but this time I'm afraid of what faces me once the ride ends. “Can you drive me to the hospital?” I ask Charlie and he agrees without asking me why. I hand him my keys and lead the way out of the club. The night air bites at my bare skin and I wrap my arms tightly around myself to keep warm. “Take my hoodie,” He offers, pulling it over his head and holding it out to me. I slip my arms inside the holes and zip it up, the hoodie swamps my body, covering me up. It smells like him, that woodsy scent that I became addicted to when he was mine. The hospital is a twenty-minute drive from the bar. My mind

Charlie“I hope you don't mind that I invited Nortica to join us,” Benji says on the short drive to The Pavilion. “I just thought if I get called in to work then you'd still have someone to watch the game with.”With anyone else I'd consider them to have an ulterior motive, but in the short time I've known Benji I've come to learn that he doesn't play games, he's straightforward and if he says he invited Nortica just so I had company, in case he has to bail then I believe him. “I don't mind,” I tell him, even as I'm excited to spend time with her outside of work. Even if it was with Benji as our buffer. She was acting weird toward me in the elevator, when we were leaving work. Maybe she's angry that I hadn't found the time to check out how our cooking video was tracking. “You said she wants to be friends,” Benji asks as he pulls his car into the underground parking garage. We decided it made more sense for him to drive. I can always walk home if he gets called away. “Yeah and we’

No sooner had I posted Charlie’s cooking video to our social feeds than the comments came flooding in. As I filtered through the comments it didn't take long to realise that most of the viewers were not here for the cooking. I got a sting of jealousy when the girl at the auto shop openly flirted with Charlie. That was nothing compared to what these commentators claim they want to do with him. “I'd suck his wooden spoon.”“He can eat it off my body.”“Can I subscribe to his package?”I considered deleting the video but Josh informed me that sales had nearly tripled since it went up. Sex sells and I had essentially pimped Charlie out. I had delivered Charlie to thousands of women, and put him on their radar. He's a gorgeous man with smouldering eyes and a chiselled jaw, of course he'd draw attention. What if it went beyond commenting? He could return the attraction for any of these women. His sexual appetite runs high and they're basically giving him everything he wants. The worst

CharlieI can be friends with her; it's got to be better than nothing. I'm a great friend, the best. There's just one problem, I've never actually been just friends with a woman before. Every girl I've ever been friends with I've ended up sleeping with. It's not intentional, it just sort of happens and then becomes super awkward afterwards, killing the friendship. Alright, I'm a bad friend, a really, really bad friend. But I'm friends with Kat. We have an amazing friendship where she calls me on my shit and we share inside jokes. That friendship only exists though because she’s married to my best friend, Rowan. I’m fucked. I agreed to being friends with Nortica but I know I'll always want more. I want what we were before and I'm scared that I'm going to overstep and fucked this up and lose her again.I just need to put some distance between us, not stand so close to her and avoid the break room when I know she’ll be in there. Well, that was what my brain told me to do. Do I liste
