“What happened?” I ask Nortica when she returns to the terrace in a huff.

She had been gone for so long that I was beginning to wonder if she had bailed on me. I was just about to go searching for her.

“Dimity happened,” she says matter-of-factly, oozing anger as she works herself up. “She saw me go into the bathroom, then waited near the basins for me to come out so she could fill me in on who you really are.”

Fuck! I thought I had this contained and under control. I didn't anticipat

  • My Billionaire Boss’ Dirty Secret   39

    CharlieRichard’s BMW was parked in my spot when I arrived at More. His way of asserting whatever authority he believed he had over me. I resisted the strong urge to run my key along his door, knowing that I'd be getting my revenge on him soon enough. He was like a disease slowly infecting my company. I hadn't noticed at first because I thought he was doing me a favour, but now I know he was trying to edge me out and make all of this his own. Kicking him out will be my greatest victory over him but I know that he won't go without a fight. Coming through the office entry I spot him walking toward the elevators, where Nortica is standing. The parking spot may have pissed me off but I won't allow him to creep all over my girl. I sprint toward them and wedge myself in front of Richard, pretending I'm dashing for the elevator. “Morning, Richard,” I greet my father, keeping my tone polite to disguise the fact that I want to tear his head off. “You’re late,” he replies, still trying to

    The fight from last night had stayed on my mind, well after it was over. Charlie had apologised for lying, and I told him I accepted his apology, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I’d lost trust in him. While Charlie slept soundly next to me, I tossed and turned, unable to shut my mind off. Was this the only lie he's told me? If I hadn't caught him out would he have confessed? These questions plagued me, every time I shut my eyes and tried to fall asleep. At dawn, I gave up trying to sleep and decided to take my mind off my problems by cooking us breakfast. I carefully snuck out of the bedroom, not wanting to wake Charlie, got dressed and wandered down to the street, where I had spotted a convenience store. As I gathered up ingredients to make pancakes from scratch, I soon realised how expensive convenience really was. The prices were three times more than I'd pay at the supermarket but I had no choice, this store was all there was near us. Our kitchen in the suite was huge a

    Charlie“What happened?” I ask Nortica when she returns to the terrace in a huff. She had been gone for so long that I was beginning to wonder if she had bailed on me. I was just about to go searching for her. “Dimity happened,” she says matter-of-factly, oozing anger as she works herself up. “She saw me go into the bathroom, then waited near the basins for me to come out so she could fill me in on who you really are.”Fuck! I thought I had this contained and under control. I didn't anticipate Dimity ambushing Nortica in the bathroom, the one place she knew that she could get to Nortica without me. “What did she tell you?” I ask, trying to sound like I don't care when, in reality, I'm shitting bricks. “Nothing I didn't already know,” my Goddess answers coldly. “You lied to me.”“We’re not doing this here,” I announce to her. I know this fight is about to kick off but I'm not giving Dimity or her arsehole co-worker the satisfaction of seeing they won. I had paid the bill while she

    Charlie obviously knew Dimity, our first waitress, but didn't want to talk about it with me. Was she someone he had on contract? A one-night stand? An old friend or was it just like he said, she knew his name because he dined here? The questions plagued me throughout the night, haunting my every thought but after the day we’d endured with my parents, I didn't want to start a fight and ruin the evening. If Dimity was someone from his past then, after we leave the restaurant, that's where she’d stay, in the past. I didn't need to know what happened between them, because it would only make me jealous. Charlie had to spend every working day with his past relationship shoved in his face so I could manage to get through dinner. I was grateful when we got a different waiter, even if he was a rude jerk. Whatever that guy's problem is, he shouldn't be working in the service industry. “That was delicious,” I announced to Charlie after taking my last bite of chicken.“Shall we order some d

    CharlieI stood in the doorway to the bathroom and watched Nortica as she applied her makeup. She looked stunning, with her golden blonde hair flowing to her floor-length, crimson red, satin dress. She was the image of perfection and I couldn't wait to finally be able to take her out somewhere. We still hadn't had a proper date but tonight would be one I hope she never forgets. “Sorry, was I taking too long?” she apologises when she realises I'm watching her. “No,” I tell her, stepping into the bathroom. “I just came to tell you that while you were showering, there was a delivery for you.”“Here?” she questions me, almost doubtful. “Come see,” I urge her and she follows me out into the living area. “You got me roses?” she asks, picking up the bouquet of 12, red, long-stemmed roses that I had delivered. She brings the bouquet to her nose, breathes in its scent and dances around. “And,” I say, pointing to the gift bag on the coffee table. She places the roses back in the vase, p

    I’d always considered the Gold Coast to be that sweet slice of paradise that I longed to return to. Bailey, Tess and I had stayed here for a week after we completed high school. We went to the theme parks, hit up the nightclubs, and had the time of our lives. Back then, we stayed in a cheap hotel and lived off fast food to save more money for clubbing. We didn't care that our accommodation was run-down and looked like it belonged in a crime scene, it was our first time away from our parents. That week had felt like it went by way too fast and in the back of my mind, I had planned to save up and come back. I don't know if Charlie knew any of this or if he had just randomly chosen to bring me here but either way, it just made me love him even more. Charlie hired a car and drove us to the hotel, which was in the heart of Surfers Paradise, across from the beach. He checked us in at the desk and was handed two key fobs.Charlie passed one of the fobs to me and used the other one to acc

    Charlie’s meeting with Francesca went on longer than I liked. I couldn’t stand the thought of that red-haired dragon running her hands over my man’s arm as if she owned him. What pissed me off more though was that Charlie just sat there and allowed her to touch him. I know he was just trying to ap

    CharlieI felt morally disgusted with myself for having sunk to such a low level. I’d made a deal with the devil, just to save my company from falling into Jessica’s hands. When I came up with the concept of More, it was Richard who backed me when no one else would give me a chance. Without his fi

    I was never really that great at keeping secrets. Even at Christmas there's been times when I accidentally tell someone what I bought for them. I don't mean to spoil the surprise, it's just that I get too excited and it bursts out. This time though, I knew I'd have to hold my secret in or it would

    Charlie“Good morning Mr Elemore, Miss Sterlington is waiting for you in the boardroom,” My receptionist, Cassandra, greeted me when I entered the building on Tuesday. Of course, Francesca would arrive early, leaving me little time to prepare. It didn't help that I'd been up til the early hours wi
