CHARLOTTA

The days went by slowly, and I continued to throw myself into work and forged close friendships with my co-workers. We had a couple of dinners, went to restaurants. I became fully part of Lotex Group, and honestly, I enjoyed it even though I was here as a spy.

They were a fun bunch to hang out with. I had the occasional gists with Jenna, we were friends as always. I didn't have to explain anything to her about me and Bruce. Everything went along just fine and awesome.

Bruce and I had been spending a lot of time together recently, talking on the phone every evening and seeing each other every morning. He always asked how my day had been, and told me how much he missed me when we were apart. It was clear that he cared about me deeply, and I felt myself falling for him more and more each day.

On Sunday evening, as we were talking on the phone, he asked me how I was doing. I told him about my day, and then asked him about his.

"It was busy, but good," he said, a smile in his voi

  • THE CEO'S SEDUCTIVE SECRETARY    CHAPTER 67

    CHARLOTTA“Follow me home,” Bruce said, his voice low as the car door opened beside him. The twins had already disappeared into a separate vehicle, their laughter and ridiculous cologne still lingering like smoke.I paused with my hand on my own door handle, half-turned, just long enough for his request to hang in the air.For a second, I considered it.I considered letting the night stretch, letting the memory of his hands on my body replace the cold weight in my chest. Letting myself fall back into his bed like it meant something.But then I smiled softly. Controlled. Safe.“I can’t,” I said, adjusting the strap of my duffel bag on my shoulder. “I need to check on my roommate. She’s one moment from dying of boredom. Probably already talking to plants and naming them after her exes.”Bruce’s expression didn’t change, but his eyes flickered. Not anger. Not hurt.Something else.Possession, maybe.Or suspicion.“Roommate,” he repeated.I shrugged. “She’s dramatic. And she’s been alone

  • THE CEO'S SEDUCTIVE SECRETARY    CHAPTER 66

    BRUCEHer perfection should’ve been a red flag. I no longer trust her. But I couldn’t give her up. Which made me hate myself a little.The way she moved—graceful, efficient, deliberate. The way she handled files, learned projections, memorized names and figures faster than some of my own analysts. She was everything a secretary shouldn’t be—too sharp, too polished, too… intentional.I should’ve pulled away.But I didn’t.Because every time I watched her walk across a room, hips swaying in unconscious provocation, or when she turned and met my stare without flinching—it was like trying to resist gravity. Impossible. And God, when I touched her…Yesternight still lingered on my skin like smoke.Her mouth. Her thighs. The way she let herself break open beneath me—then wrapped around me like I was both her weapon and her sin.I leaned back in the leather armchair of the hotel lounge, sipping from a crystal tumbler as Harvey flipped through contract documents beside me. Harley, ever the mo

  • THE CEO'S SEDUCTIVE SECRETARY    CHAPTER 65

    CHARLOTTAThat night, when Bruce returned from the investors’ call, I decided to confront him about how he treated me earlier, and he flared up. He told me bluntly, “I have a feeling you’re not who you claim to be, and I no longer trust you.”The suite was dimly lit, shadows stretching long across the walls as the tension between us reached its boiling point. I stood near the window, arms crossed, teeth clenched, trying not to scream.“You no longer trust me?” I snapped, voice low but shaking. “You never did.”Bruce paced like a storm barely contained, his eyes glinting with something darker than anger—frustration, confusion, maybe even desire. He stopped short, facing me fully.“You give me every reason not to.”I felt the air choke in my throat. “Then why keep me here? Why not just fire me, Bruce?”He stepped forward, slowly, deliberately, like a predator with no leash. “Because,” he growled, “I can’t fucking stay away from you.”My breath hitched.And then he moved.One second I wa

  • THE CEO'S SEDUCTIVE SECRETARY    Chapter 64

    CHARLOTTAI woke with a pant of pain rippling through my skull, sharp and unforgiving. The room was too still, too silent. The plush hotel duvet tangled around my legs like a noose. My mouth was dry, and my throat ached as if I’d been screaming in my sleep. I blinked, the sunlight slicing through a sliver in the curtains, making my headache pulse harder.I turned to the other side of the bed instinctively—expecting warmth, the weight of him, maybe even the soft exhale of sleep.But the sheets were cold.Untouched.Empty.Bruce was gone.I pushed myself up, squinting against the bright daylight pouring through the windows. The suite was pristine, his side of the bed perfectly made, his watch no longer on the nightstand, his tie that I’d pulled off last night—gone.I checked the time.11:42 a.m.A cold pit opened in my stomach. No message. No missed calls. No note. He’d just… left.I snatched my phone and called him. One ring. Two. Three. He answered.“Where are you?” I croaked, voice h

  • THE CEO'S SEDUCTIVE SECRETARY    Chapter 63

    CHARLOTTABack at the suite, the tension between us was thicker than the velvet drapes. Bruce sat at the living room desk, his laptop open, his tie discarded on the top of the couch. I stood by the kitchen counter, pulling financials from the shared drive on my tablet, but my eyes kept drifting to him. His jaw was set, his fingers flying over the keyboard, and I could feel his presence like a magnet pulling me in.“Charlotta,” he said without looking up, “the projections. Now.”I swallowed, crossing the room to hand him the tablet. Our fingers brushed, and I felt the familiar spark, but his expression was all business. “Everything’s here,” I said, my voice steady. “I cross-checked the numbers with the finance team’s latest report. We’re on track for a 20% ROI within 18 months.”He scanned the screen, nodding. “Good work.” His tone was clipped, but his eyes flicked up to mine, searching. “You’ve been thorough lately. Almost too thorough.”My pulse quickened. “Just trying to earn my kee

  • THE CEO'S SEDUCTIVE SECRETARY    Chapter 62

    BRUCECharlotta was a puzzle I couldn’t stop trying to solve. She sat across from me at the restaurant, her red lipstick catching the light as she sipped her water, her eyes darting between the twins’ banter and the harbor view. She played the part of the perfect secretary flawlessly—organized, poised, quick with a smile—but there was something beneath it all, a shadow that kept me on edge. I’d told Harley last night I couldn’t pin it down, but it was there, like a whisper I couldn’t quite hear.The SPLINTX deal was a triumph, no question. LOTEX was poised to dominate the European market, and I should’ve been basking in it. Instead, I was distracted by her. The way her dress hugged her curves, the memory of her body pressed against mine in the suite this morning, her moans echoing in my head. She was trouble, and I fucking loved it. But trouble had a price, and I wasn’t sure I was ready to pay it.“Bruce, you gonna eat or just stare at your secretary all day?” Harvey’s voice jolted me
