The minute I arrived at the diner, the hostess immediately offered to book me a VIP seat or try out their private floor, but I refused and chose a regular table. Somewhere visible.

For a woman like her who lived in such a rundown apartment, this was probably the only place within her budget. So if marrying me for money was truly her goal, appearing completely broke was probably intentional.

I chose the best seat, the one she would be comfortable approaching me in.

For the first thirty minutes

  • SECRETLY MARRIED TO HER BILLIONAIRE BOSS   57. ~Klaire~

    The rest of the day faded way too fast. Like I couldn't wait to see my doom. Emails. Reports. Investigations. Endless questions.Where had the leak happened? Who had access? Who downloaded what? Who opened which file? Who sent what email?Nobody was finding answers.Including me.I skipped lunch, breaks, breathing, probably.By evening my head hurt. My eyes burned and were swollen.And I still knew absolutely nothing.I sat alone inside my office. Staring at spreadsheets. Trying to force the numbers to reveal a secret. They didn't.My phone buzzed. I answered immediately. I had called him several times and he had texted about calling back, because he was extremely busy."Klaire?" The concern in his voice nearly broke me.Because it was the first kind voice I'd heard all day. "I've had a terrible day."His tone softened. "What happened?"I told him everything. The suspicion, the leak, and the panic. The possibility that all my recent work was about to collapse.He didn't judge me, whil

    And the next few days passed without Mr. Vilmorre coming back to work. Neither did Hale ask me to submit any files. He probably had been warned not to invite employees over.And it would be crazy to go see him on my own…wouldn't it?But I just wanted to know how he was faring and how his special woman was too…Was he getting rest or was he looking way worse than the man I met last? Would he go back to Moscow immediately after all this was over? Would he show up at work? Would he even inform me if there was any update about his woman?It was absurd that I wanted him around.And while I sat at my desk and office phone rang, and I rushed to pick it up immediately. Mr. Hale called me into his office.I entered after a soft knock and remained standing while he punched in some letters on the keyboard.Something was wrong.It was because he wasn't smiling. And Hale always smiled. Even when things were terrible."Mrs. Klaire." His voice was unusually serious.My stomach immediately tightened.

    It took me several minutes to realize that Mr. Vilmorre owned the beach apartment we were in. And I was still gagged at the thought of this man having luxury at his beck and call.Why wouldn’t he?The man probably owned half the city.I followed him inside, still feeling strangely nervous. Which made no sense, because nothing was happening. We were simply spending the night because it was late. This was not on purpose. I was only here to comfort him.That was all.Nothing weird.Comfort him? How did it get to that? Because I knew his little dark secret? Did that give me a sort of promotion to confronting Mr. Vilmorre? What was I thinking?I was suddenly regretting the hug I had given him today. I was too engrossed in my emotions that I forgot I had promised to keep things professional between us.I didn't even want to be friends with this man.I didn't want to bother if he was hurting…“Mrs. Klaire,” he mentioned. He stood near the doorway and the quick memory of his exact position at

    I should have moved him from my shoulders. That was my first thought. My second thought was that I definitely should have moved him much earlier.Instead, I sat there staring. Watching how Aleksander Vilmorre slept against my shoulder.He looked different.I couldn’t remember ever seeing him peaceful before. Not once. His face looked softer somehow. Less like the impossible boss everyone feared.My eyes stayed longer than they should have and for one second, I felt something. Somewhere along the line, I had forgotten Mr. Vilmorre was human. To me, he had become deadlines and cold stares.But sitting here now…he just looked tired.“You’re just a person too, Mr. Vilmorre" I muttered.He was asleep and didn't hear.Good. Because that would have been embarrassing.The breeze grew colder and I carefully, I adjusted my position, supporting his head better with my hand. The movement earned a small frown from him.But he leaned closer, this time.I froze for a split second…then relaxed.My ey

    I hated random hugs. The ones that came from people that…didn't matter. Yet hours later, lying in bed inside, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Unexpected.And yet…The memory refused to leave. Not because of the hug itself, but how it made me feel afterwards. The relief. The urge to actually keep the hug longer than it should. Just a few seconds with her, everything had gone quiet and with my closed eyes, I could see grandmother lying unconscious and all my problems resurfaced.Maybe I shouldn't have pushed Klaire away and sent her out of the house.Maybe I should have given myself an opportunity to share the exhaustion in me. Grandma always mentioned that speaking about your problem, eased the pressure on the chest.My jaw tightened.Sleep wasn’t happening tonight. Not with all these thoughts. All these plans. To keep grandma in Moscoweuth other families. To be business-oriented like I always have. And be back home to finalize the divorce with Elise.Only then would life seem perf

    I could see through the shirt he was wearing and for some reason, it felt so wrong. I mean, it was wrong. That was my boss.When he got closer to where I was standing, I looked back at him. His gaze landed on me and then his eyes narrowed, like he was trying to recognize me or something…That shocked me more than seeing him.“What are you doing here?” he asked.I opened my mouth. What?Was he saying he was aware that…Nothing came out of my open mouth. His eyes went from mine to the ground and he sighed.“Mrs Klaire.”I finally found my voice. “Sir.”“Why are confidential documents scattered across my floor?”My face reddens.Right. The papers. I had totally…forgotten. I immediately crouched. Trying to gather them. Only for another hand to reach down first.Large hands are grabbing the same page as me, at the same time. Our eyes met briefly and I released the paper.A frownremsived on his face while he gathered the rest of the files. “Why would Hale send you here?”“I asked the same

    I stood in the middle of the living room, surrounded by gift boxes and half-opened bags, staring at walls that didn’t have cracks in them. No leaking ceiling, no noisy neighbors. No moans from the very person I was living with…I mean if there ever get to be moans in this apartment, it would be com

    One moment Grandmother was sleeping, the next, the nurses rushed into the room, and machines were making noises I never wanted to hear again.Doctors appeared from nowhere.And once again, I found myself standing outside the hospital room with absolutely no control over the situation.By sunrise, t

    I practically skipped into the building that morning. I would be setting my clock to Moscow time this week, which meant I would be finishing all my work for the day by 10.00 am just to be culturally accurate.Haha.But for the first time in weeks, there wasn’t an Aleksander Vilmorre waiting to thro

    Elise’s smile dropped for a second when I finished my sentence. We were seated inside my office after work hours. Most employees had already left."Why all of a sudden?" Her eyes blinked several times. "You said it was not the time to meet her. You said it would take a long while before you decide
