Semua Bab My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother!: Bab 131 - Bab 140

The sheer look of shock on Rachel's face was enough to me to feel better, good and fine what she had said took me down a lot but at least I knew I slapped her.She reeled back, her hand pressed against her cheek, and for the first time, the smugness cracked. She blinked twice like she couldn’t believe what just happened.She couldn't believe I slapped her.“You slapped me?” she gasped out looking very outraged.“I should have done worse,” I hissed trying to control how my chest was heaving, my hands was still shaking and I knew if she tried again I could slap her make up off.She lunged like she was about to claw my face off, but I stepped forward, holding my ground with a kind of fury I didn't even know I had."Try it. I dare you I will fucking end you.”Ethan moved to intercept, even through it wasn't necessary since I got the whole situation under control, he hand raised trying to hold her down as his voice went dangerously low."Rachel—don’t.”Her gaze darted from me to him. That

I took one last look at Ethan as his grey eyes couldn't even face me.I tried to convince myself that he didn't deserve my tears.I met my mother's eyes, she was standing beside Robert Blackwood, her hand tucked into his arm.She still looked beautiful but her face was pale, her lips pressed tight. Our eyes met, and for a moment and time stopped. I didn't know what I expected, that he left her dearest husband's hands and come to comfort her daughter, maybe I was a fool for believing she would do that.She couldn't even meet my eyes as she looked away, her hand tightening on Robert’s, her head turning to him as if I didn’t exist. That one gesture hit harder than Rachel’s, Ethan’s lies, or not even the video playing on that massive screen. My mother had made her choice, and it wasn’t me. It never had been and it will never be.I wanted to scream, to run to her, to demand why she always chose them—her men, her status, her need for freaking money.But she was also a Blackwood by prox

“What the fucking hell do you want, Alex?” I said out loud letting him notice my frustration and anger.Of all low life mother fuckers that I can meet today, it has to be Alex.He removed his hoodie and saw him looking like an absolute shit, he had bags under his eyes and his hair was a mess as his mustache was not even groomed.I wanted to scream and shout but it still kept my cool "You and Lily ruined my life once and now you did it again with Rachel but now you have come to gloat about the video, too?”He raised his hands, his smirk fading, his eyes darting like a cornered animal.I was expecting his usual half assed apology so I folded my arms looking angry as hell."Sophie, I am not here to fight. I am in trouble, like really bad trouble. I need your help. Please, just hear me out. Follow me to my car—it’s not safe here.”I laughed out loud at the audacity of this guy. “Your car? You think I am stupid enough to go anywhere with you? After what you did?” I tightened my grip on

William Carson’s office is a warm and homely, it was a stark contrast to Ethan's high stake high budget office.I internally face palmed myself as I felt bad for comparing this place to Blackwood's corp.The only thing that looked grand was the very expensive book stacks on the shelf, and a framed photo of him in a suit looking way younger.There wasn't any family photo in sight, I wonder why since he looked old enough to have kids.He smiled and then gestured to a chair across from his desk. “Take a seat, Sophie,” he said in his strangely calming voice.There was a way he was slouching, slightly mirroring mine when I was very exhausted, I brushed it off trying to see it as me being very nervous.I sat on the soft leather chair as I closed my eyes for a split second, offering a silent prayer to all the gods in heaven—Christian, Muslim, pagan, any who will listen—Please, do not let me jinx this.This is my shot, Do not let me screw it up. My palms are sweaty, my resume a crumpled shie

Sophie's POVI was killing it at this job... I knew I was because Williams treated me like I practically popped gold, and for th first time in my life I saw someone that was somehow like a father figure to me.I guess it was too early to say that since I just met the man, but there was something about him that was just too comforting.So I could confidently said that there weeks ago, I walked in here as a nobody with a scandal marking her and now, I guess I am just Sophie Carter, William’s indispensable secretary, or so I tell myself as I rub my stinging eyes.My blazer was insanely right making me feel so very much dizzy, I have been suffering from a sickness I couldn't name.Because I didn't know what the hell was happening to me.I was always dizzy, hungry exhausted and stressed, sometimes when I feel like was extremely tired and wanted to fall and break slept, I could remind myself that I couldn't fail.Simply because this job is my proof I am more than the Blackwood’s disgraced e
