All Chapters of Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Chapter 1011 - Chapter 1020

Fernando’s POVI went straight home. Melissa would be thrilled to hear I had resigned, but since she usually knew things before anyone else, I could only assume she had realized before I did that I was clinging to something I shouldn't. I would talk to her later; I had other matters to handle first.I grabbed my bags from the car and stepped into the elevator, but before the doors could close, someone else entered. Someone I didn't want to see. To be honest, someone I never wanted to see."Good afternoon, Fred." Rafael greeted me with his usual courtesy."Good afternoon." I replied simply.I wanted to leave it at that, but with so much churning inside me, I couldn't hold back for long. As soon as the elevator stopped at his floor, before he could step out, I decided to give him a warning."Rafael." I called out, and he turned. "Stay away from her!""Excuse me?" He looked at me as if he didn't understand."You heard me. Stay away from Melissa!""Ah!" He let out a long sigh. "You have no

Melissa’s POVI was watching Fred fight an internal battle with who he was, who he wanted to be, and who he should become. He seemed to be in agony, and I couldn't help him with this. He needed to make his own choices, his own decisions, or he would blame me later for whatever went wrong. All I could do was stand by his side and offer a suggestion here and there, but I couldn't make the final decision, even knowing that in the end, he would be happy at the hospital."Do you want to talk about it?" I asked."Not now. You insisted so much that I should give the hospital a chance, so now I will. Let's see how this goes." He held my hand and gave me a half-smile. But I knew it wasn't that simple, his head was spinning with so many thoughts, and he turned inward."Fred, I didn't know what Alvaro was planning," I felt the need to assure him."I know you didn't." He stopped in front of Catherine's house and looked at me. "It's going to be a tough year, maybe the toughest of my life.""It'll w

Fernando’s POVIt was so strange having those two in my apartment's living room. I couldn't think of any reason for them to be there, especially the pharmaceutical company owner, who thought he was all-powerful."Fernando, Jennifer informed me of your departure from the company, rather abruptly, after years of being part of our team." He began that speech that I was certain would culminate in some corporate nonsense."It wasn't abrupt, sir. I think my time at your company was actually too long." I didn't need to give him the privilege of knowing he had offended me."Oh, Little Fred, tell uncle the truth. You're upset because you have more time with the company and I was the one who got promoted. But, Little Fred, it's not my fault if I stood out more," Jennifer spoke condescendingly."It's Fernando, Jennifer!" I corrected her and turned to her uncle. "You and I both know that your niece's promotion had nothing to do with her standing out or merit, right?""Fernando, maybe you can't und

Fernando’s POVI arrived at the hospital right on time and found my uncle in his office at the executive wing. In the end, I was even more excited than I had thought."Fred!" Uncle Alvaro stood up cheerfully to hug me."Uncle! I'm ready for you." I smiled at him and his gaze fell on me full of joy."I know you are! And we have a full day ahead, but I'll start by introducing you to your assistant. She'll be like your shadow." My uncle went to the door and called someone.A short young woman with almond-shaped eyes, very black hair tied in a low ponytail, and round gold-rimmed glasses entered the room. She wore black pants, shoes that looked orthopedic to me, and a white shirt buttoned up to the neck, complemented by a funny little black tie. I looked at her thinking that Melissa would make her into her new project if she had the chance."Fernando, this is Hannah. She is highly recommended by the HR director. Hannah recently graduated with a degree in executive assistance, speaks three l

Fernando’s POVOn the way to my office, I was impressed by how many employees there knew Melissa. She stopped several times to greet various people by name and exchange a few words."How is it possible that you know so many people in this hospital?" I asked, intrigued, when the elevator door closed."A while back I helped Alvaro organize some files. And there was also that time when you were hospitalized here because of Joseph, remember?" She smiled. Yes, I remembered, I would certainly never forget."When did you have time to help my uncle?" I couldn't imagine it."You were working too much at that pharmaceutical company, Fred. I had to fill my free time. But who I don't know is this little doll here." Melissa turned to face Hannah, who I noticed shrank back a little."This is Hannah, Mel, my assistant." I watched the two of them looking at each other, with Hannah having to look up."Alvaro, you're a man of your word." Melissa certainly remembered that my uncle had promised an unattra
