Semua Bab Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Bab 651 - Bab 660

Patrick’s POVI woke up this morning thinking about what to do to get along with Lexie. My friends were right, I needed to stop treating her like she was a little girl, because she wasn't anymore and that became very clear to me yesterday when I saw her. That adorable little girl had become a stunning woman, like a goddess who casts her spell and blinds men with love for her. However, I knew I couldn't be one of those men and maybe that's why I was trying to keep the image of the little girl alive in my mind.No, I couldn't look at Lexie as a woman, that would be a disaster, because I would certainly fall for her and she was forbidden to me. She couldn't be just another conquest or pastime. She was the sister of one of my best friends and I saw her being born, I held her in my arms when she was just a baby. But it seems like she was never that baby I remember.In any case, I was determined, I would have to make things right with Lexie for the sake of collective peace and for my own. Bu

Lexie’s POVI left Patrick's office relieved by Aunt Lucinda's arrival; I was about to start crying in front of him. I sat down at my desk and focused on work, but I was tired and my head was full of worries. The door opened and Aunt Lucinda stopped beside me."Dear, we're going to see Alexander and then we're going out for lunch. Are you coming with us?" Aunt Lucinda had a welcoming smile.I loved this woman and admired her, always so full of energy and with such positive vibes, Aunt Lucinda chased away sadness wherever she went."Oh, Auntie, I can't make it. I have plans," I replied."If it's with Rick, he'll definitely be summoned to have lunch with my mother too," Patrick responded and smiled at me. He smiled at me? Oh, he was definitely keeping up appearances for Aunt Lucinda.I didn't have any lunch plans, and I wasn't going to intrude on their lunch, I wouldn't give Patrick another opportunity to take a shot at me. I needed to think fast and said the only thing that came to mind

Patrick’s POVI didn't know whether to be pissed at my friend or thank him for the interruption. The moment I heard Alex's voice, I closed my eyes and pulled away from Lexie. She was beyond embarrassed, quickly stood up with her head down, and with a rather awkward "excuse me," she left my office, tripping over the armchair next to the couch.Alex followed the scene with his eyes, and as soon as she closed the door, he dropped into the armchair Lexie had tripped over and started laughing like a madman."I knew it! I knew that one day I'd get my revenge for all the times you interrupted me with Catherine!" Alex was laughing, having way too much fun with my misfortune."That's not it at all, man!" I complained. "Dude, this situation is going to drive me crazy.""Come on, let it out." Alex made a gesture with his hand, encouraging me to talk."Alex, the more I try to sort things out with her, to stop fighting, the more attracted I feel!" I was desperate. "Man, I've known her since she was

Lexie’s POVThe rest of the afternoon passed in a blur. I didn't see Patrick; he stayed locked in his office the rest of the day. I focused on work, but I couldn't stop thinking about what Catherine had said, that Patrick had come looking for me."Lexie, let's go?" Manu appeared at the door and called me."You go ahead, Manu, I still need to stay." I answered without taking my eyes off the screen."Then I'll wait for you." Manu entered the room."No need, you can go, this might take a while." I replied."What are you doing?""Reviewing a contract, and it's a big one.""Then keep the car keys.""No way, Manu. I'll get a taxi.""No, Lexie, either you keep the car or I'll sit and wait for you.""No need, Manu, I'll take Lexie home." Patrick came out of his office at that moment."Well, if that's the case, I'm leaving." Manu smiled and left.Patrick went to the door of the room and after a minute came back and stopped in front of my desk."We need to talk." He wasn't even looking me in the

Lexie’s POVThank goodness it was Friday and we were heading to Manu's family farm after work. Mr. Guzman would be there too, but at least there I won't have to talk to him. Mr. Guzman... I've noticed he gets annoyed when I call him that, and it was my little revenge for him being such a jerk to me."Good morning, gorgeous! That smile looks good on you." Rick entered the office pantry where I was pouring myself a cup of coffee and gave me a kiss on the cheek."Oh, it's because we'll have a whole week at the farm, peace and quiet. Isn't that amazing?" I looked at him with an even bigger smile."Yeah, I really hope so, but with you and Patrick together, you never know." He laughed, teasing me.I stuck my tongue out at him, and after he got his coffee, we headed toward our offices. We parted ways at Manu's desk, and I quickly turned to say something to Rick, but he had already disappeared into his office. So I turned back toward mine, and that's when disaster struck.I bumped into Patrick
