Roseline's POV

I stared at his back, at the way he ran out of the dining room so suddenly, his chair nearly toppling over behind him.

"Florian, wait!" I called out, but he refused to look back. He just kept going, straight through the hallway and out toward the balcony.

My father frowned, setting his fork down.

"What's wrong with him?"

"I have no idea," I said, already pushing my own chair back. "Let me go check."

I found him standing by the balcony railing, his hands gripping it so tightly hi

    "This dress looks so good on you," Nina giggled from the couch."I know," I said, looking at myself in the mirror, the pink dress hugging my body and revealing all my curves."You can wear this for your bridal shower," she said.I rolled my eyes."There would be no bridal shower," I said."Why? First you said you're not going to have a bridal train, it'll just be you and your husband, now no bridal shower? What exactly is going on? I don't understand," she said, brows furrowed."Nina.""This is an important moment in your life and you don't want to celebrate it to the fullest.""Nina."I called out to her again."I don't like this, Roseline, you always said you wanted your wedding to be celebrated in a big way."she said with a frown on her face."Nina, my father has cancer," I blurted out.She stood up slowly, covering her mouth with her hands. "Oh my God, no, no."Her eyes were filled with tears instantly, and I understood why. My father had practically raised her too, ever since she

  • Tempted by my Godlike boss   CHAPTER 35: PUNISHMENT

    FLORIAN'S POV..One of the things I hated the most was harassment, both sexually or not. And especially when it's done to a member of my family.I once sent a guy to the hospital because he touched my sister in a funny way.He kept fighting with his life for weeks.Attempting to touch my girl?Now that's even worse.That's a death sentence.I picked up my knife and stuffed it in my pocket making my way to the boutique just across town."Do you have eyes on him?", I asked the person on the other end of the phone."Yes Sir, I do. He's about to walk in”“Okay, stand close by and watch him, make sure he doesn't notice”I sighted the sign post from afar, Shop at Brenda's. My eyes moved to the guy in the black shirt, a shopping bag swinging from his hand.My target was walking cheerfully toward the store, unaware of what was about to happen.Then my eyes landed on someone else. A girl in a pink dress, standing right in front of him, the look on her face was pure hatred.She looked really fa

  • Tempted by my Godlike boss   CHAPTER 34: The figure in the crowd.

    Roseline's POVI stretched my legs out on the couch and munched on popcorn, my eyes glued to the TV screen. Beside me, Nina giggled and squealed the second a kissing scene came on, earning a quick eye-roll from me.When the movie finally ended a few minutes later, Nina wiped the tears from her cheeks."Damn, that was so emotional," she breathed.I barely heard her, my eyes were already glued to a new text from Florian.Hey baby, what would you like to eat for dinner tonight?My cheeks flushed the second I saw the text, he was playing this fake relationship so well, I was almost starting to believe it was real.Nina stared at me, then gave me a knowing wink. "Are you texting your man?" she asked.I just dropped the phone back into my pocket, a light smirk on my face, and said nothing."That's true, let's go wedding shopping," she said, suddenly sitting up straight, practically vibrating with excitement."Wedding shopping?" I asked."Yeah, we need to get a lot of dresses, and the weddin

  • Tempted by my Godlike boss   CHAPTER 33: Nina's surprise visit

    Roseline's POVFlorian stared at us for a long moment before turning on his heel and walking away.I turned to Nina. She had a gloomy expression, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as if bracing for me to slam the door in her face."What do you want?" I asked."I'm sorry," she whispered."If that's all you came here to say, then you might as well leave," I said, folding my arms across my chest."Please Rosey," she said, her voice cracking slightly on the old nickname she hadn't used in months.I stared at her for a long moment, all the memories flooding back at once, the humiliation, the way she'd screamed at me to get out of her house, the way she hadn't even given me the chance to explain before believing the worst about me."You didn't even let me talk," I said quietly. "You just believed him over me, over your best friend of years."Her eyes welled up. "I know, and I'm so sorry, Roseline. I've regretted it every single day since it happened. I should have listened to you, I s

  • Tempted by my Godlike boss   CHAPTER 32: We need to talk.

    Roseline's POV..“I don't understand,”I said.“I own the company. I’m Gabriel’s boss. When I told you I was just a normal guy, I was lying.”I stared at him, the confusion was clear on my face.Wait. He was the owner of the company that owned the restaurant? That explained the level of respect Gabriel always showed him, and those luxurious gifts he claimed came from a friend.There was no rich friend. Was the apartment his, too?“Then why didn't you say something before?Why are you acting as the head chef?”None of it made sense to me, if he was so rich why would he now hide it.“That's because I don't want anyone to know my real identity, apart from Gabriel and now you, no one else knows about this. So please keep it to yourself.I'm on a mission here, I'm doing some investigation about what happened to my parents years ago. That's why I opened the restaurant and why I'm posing as the head chef, you might not understand now but later you'll get it. I decided to tell you this now bec

  • Tempted by my Godlike boss   CHAPTER 31: The confession.

    Roseline's POVI walked away, the weight of what I’d just heard was heavy on my mind. Across the room, I spotted Florian at the punch table, laughing at something one of the chefs had said. He was entirely unaware of the thoughts crashing through my mind. Watching him, I couldn't help but wonder what exactly was going on. There was something he wasn't telling me, a hidden truth tucked away.I could feel it, sitting there quietly beneath his smile like a shadow he was trying hard to keep hidden.But before I could dwell on it too long, someone grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the middle of the kitchen."Come on, Roseline, you can't just stand there all night!" one of the junior chefs, Amara, said, already dragging me into the small crowd that had gathered.Someone had found an old karaoke speaker tucked away in the storage room, and before I knew it, half the kitchen staff were taking turns belting out songs, most of them horribly off key, all of them having the time of their lives
