《Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch》全部章節：第 781 章 - 第 790 章

Patrick's POVI went back home so excited, full of anticipation, dying to see my girl. But when I saw Rick there, I realized things had gone south. So I had two options: ask her to trust me, or tell the truth. And given the events of the past few days, I seriously doubted she would trust me after catching me in a lie like this.Lexie walked past me, her little face telling me everything - she was disappointed. I looked at the other three in the kitchen, all giving me disapproving looks."You should have warned me," Rick said, and he was right. I should have warned him, but I didn't even remember.I ran after Lexie and entered the bedroom right after her, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into my arms."Let me go, Patrick!" she asked with her eyes closed. She didn't even want to look at me."I know it's too much to ask you to trust me in this situation, but can you trust me?" I spoke calmly."Oh, Patrick!" Lexie took a deep breath. "It shouldn't be like this, with you lying to me. It sho

Richard's POVI left Patrick's house when it was already getting dark. I found it depressing to have to go back to my own place, but as the lawyer had warned me, until the divorce was finalized, it was better to leave everything as it was.I sat down in the living room with a pizza box and a beer, turned on the TV and picked an old movie. I loved black and white films and had a collection of them. I sat down, but halfway through the movie I was already restless.Lexie's suggestion that I should invite Anna to lunch the next day kept hammering in my head. Maybe I should invite her - after all, we were friends - but maybe she was busy or had other plans. When the movie credits rolled, I realized I'd spent more than half of it thinking about whether or not to invite Anna to a friendly lunch. This was no big deal; it shouldn't be taking up so much space in my head.Half an hour later, I came to the conclusion that it was better to send her a message than lose a night's sleep. So I sent a t

Lexie's POVIt had been about three weeks since lunch at Patrick's house. Since then, things seemed somewhat out of place. Rick was avoiding Anabel, and when Manu and I tried to bring up the subject, he would change the topic. Patrick was acting strangely and had been busy with lunch meetings with Alexander, but I had the feeling he was hiding something from me. Melissa seemed to be working for Miller Group instead of Henry, as she showed up at the office every day and was genuinely troubled about the wedding topic. I was already thinking about putting pressure on Fred. Manu was always whispering on the phone, and when I arrived, she would quickly hang up, as if she were hiding some secret from me.And as if it weren't enough that I thought everyone was acting a bit strange, I was now losing things. Me, who had always been so careful, was now having trouble finding my belongings. It all started with the disappearance of some old photos of mine—they were from Flavian's first wedding, th

Lexie's POVI arrived early for my appointment. I'd have time to grab something to eat, and I was starving. The aroma wafting from that small bistro was divine, and I couldn't resist, even though I knew it might be better to fast for some tests. But my stomach was growling, and I hadn't felt this hungry in days.I went inside and immediately noticed a redhead sitting at a table by the window. She seemed to be waiting for someone and caught my attention because she reminded me of Patrick's ex-girlfriend, though this restaurant redhead wasn't a natural one. But it was also impossible not to notice that fire-red mane.I walked past her and sat at a small table way in the back, almost hidden behind the counter. The waiter approached and handed me the menu, but before I could order, I saw someone enter - someone I knew well. After all, it was my boyfriend. But didn't he have a meeting with Alexander?I watched Patrick come in and got worried, because if he saw me there and found out I had a

Patrick's POVI couldn't find Lexie anywhere. She wasn't at the airport, she hadn't boarded any flights, none of the girls knew where she was, and she wasn't at the apartment. I started imagining terrible things and saw no other solution - I needed to talk to Flavian. As a cop, he would have better resources to help me find her.I went to the police station and found Flavian right at the entrance. He greeted me cheerfully, but I knew that once I told him what happened, he'd be ready to punch my lights out."Look who it is, my brother-in-law! Need the police or just here for coffee?" Flavian greeted me, but quickly noticed my nervousness. "What's wrong, Patrick?""I need to talk to you," I replied."Let's go to my office." Flavian led me to his office. I walked in and found it odd that there was no door."Shouldn't there be a door here?" I asked."Closed doors are trouble, my friend. Ever since a female officer locked herself in here with me and tried to grab me, I don't have doors anym
