Semua Bab Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch: Bab 791 - Bab 800

Lexie’s POVThe girls started coming in and sitting around me. When I first arrived here, I couldn't say I had many friends—just two or three back in Germany. But in Bellwood, it was as if I knew no one. Then I came to Paradise Port, running from what I didn't want, and found everything I did want in this city: a job, love, and many friends. I was grateful for all these wonderful people I'd met here who were willing to stand by me."I already talked to Flavian, Lexie. If he doesn't teach that simpleton Patrick a good lesson and leave him with at least one black eye, I'll do it myself!" Manu burst in as if ready for battle."Oh, Lexie, let me tell you something—I know exactly what you're feeling. Henry cheated on me when we first started dating, and I nearly died from sadness." Sam sat beside me and captured my attention. I hadn't known about this, and she told me everything she'd been through."And you forgave him. How?" I stared at her."I love him, Lexie, and staying away from him wa

Patrick’s POVI was nervous. We were waiting for Darla to show up and I wanted to wring her neck. The mess she had caused me would cost her dearly. She arrived full of confidence and when she looked around at us, her smile grew even wider."Good thing the prince is at home, far away from that little tramp's claws," Melissa muttered as soon as she laid eyes on Darla."My, what an interesting entourage!" Darla smiled as if she had arrived at an amusement park. "Patrick, darling, I'm upset with you. You ran off and left me alone at that bistro." She pouted with those lips so red they looked covered in paint rather than lipstick."Darla! Behave yourself." Filippo scolded her sharply. "What's with this hair, Darla?""My new shade, Filippo!" Darla ran her hand through her hair proudly. "Like it?""Good lord, you look like you were spat out of hell! Honestly, you're going to scare the clients." Filippo grimaced."Oh, Filippo! Don't be such a bore!" She complained to her boss and sat down next

Patrick’s POVAfter the meeting at Flavian's house, I went home. I was tired, but also anxious and couldn't sleep. I kept pacing around the house, tried to watch something on TV, but nothing held my attention. I went to bed, but her scent on the pillow made me even more anxious, and I only found a bit of peace in her closet, with the photo album open to the picture we took the day I gave it to her. She was smiling and the way she looked at me made it clear that she loved me, and it was the certainty of that love that calmed and comforted me.In the morning, I left home determined. I would get on my knees, beg, ask for forgiveness a million times, but I wouldn't lose her, not like this, not at all! I called the driver to take me to Melissa's house. I wasn't in the right state of mind to drive and needed to think, even more than I had already thought all night.During the drive, I thought of millions of things to say to her, thought of various ways to prove to her how much I loved her an

Tess’s POVI was having so much fun! When I went to meet Darla at the real estate office and heard Patrick Guzman's name, it was like receiving a gift. I had the opportunity to get my revenge. I hate Patrick because he was always a shadow between Virginia and me. It was because of him that she wanted to go back. It was because of him that she regretted staying with me.And when Darla called me telling me what had happened, that his little girlfriend caught the kiss she gave him, I thought it was incredible. It was better than what I had planned. But it didn't stop there—I ran into him here in this small town and he was defeated, truly devastated, and I still rubbed it in. I knew he wouldn't lose control; Patrick is too much of a good guy and too balanced, never loses his composure, never loses his mind. I pushed my finger deep into the wound. And he did nothing but make an empty threat."Tess, you're crazy!" Sabrina was laughing beside me."Are you going to tell me you didn't enjoy see

Lexie’s POVI arrived at the farm feeling completely broken. Uncle Orlando welcomed me with open arms and cheered me up, then he gave me some advice. He said it wasn't worth giving up on a love like that just because of one mistake. He reminded me about what he and Manu's mother had been through and advised me to give Patrick a chance. He believed Patrick was a good man who would learn from this mistake.I thought a lot about everything Uncle Orlando kept telling me. And then Flavian sent me that video, with that woman telling everything that had happened. The video explained a lot, but it still didn't explain why Patrick had let that woman get so close. Even if he wasn't involved with her, he'd allowed her to kiss him. That hurt me. It hurt a lot.Then I received his email, telling me everything, giving explanations, saying he was looking for me, that he was going crazy without me, that he loved me and wouldn't give up on me. I liked reading that email. But it still wasn't enough for
