Semua Bab One Nightstand With My Billionaire Boss: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Isabella POVProfessional. "Morning Sarah," I greet her."Morning Isabella! Gosh, 8 months pregnant, I need to pee every 15 mins!" She sits on her chair heavily. "And don't forget to mention the swollen ankles. These are my mom's shoes. For god's sake. Say bye-bye to my lovely stilettos." She looks at my stilettos longingly.I respond to her with a smile, but I can't help my nervousness. Why did she talk about her pregnancy instead of yesterday's event? Yesterday we were so busy and there was no time for us to talk. But now..."Um, Sarah, about yesterday...""Yes? Is there anything you don't understand? Which part?" She asks me nicely. "No no. Not the work. There is no problem with the work—" Before I continue, she beams at me. "I knew it! You are perfect!" She still misunderstood my concern."Thank you. But, Sarah, I'm not talking about work, I'm talking about yesterday's... um... incident," I say warily.She frowns for a while and sighs. "Yeah, it sucks to be you. Now everyone kno

Isabella POV 3.50 pm. I finished all the tasks Sarah gave me earlier. I asked her for another job, but she said I needed to prepare for my meeting with Gabriel. What kind of meeting is this that makes the CEO cancel his meeting with his marketing director?I check on my Microsoft Outlook to make sure I have nothing left when a hand taps my shoulder. I jump from my seat. "Gosh, Sarah! You scared the shit out of me!"She laughs. "I'm not. You looked too focused on your job. I just want to remind you it's already 3.55 pm," she says, still laughing. "Jesus Christ! Don't do that again. I could have a heart attack," I complain. My heart still beats a bit too fast."Hey, Izzy." Sarah sober. Her face softens. Huh? What's wrong? "You are an exceptional woman. I know we just knew each other for a day or two. But I can tell. Whatever happens in your life, trust me, you will get through it, okay? You are a strong woman," she says meaningfully, even though I'm clueless, but I can sense it."What

Isabella POVI look in the mirror. Luckily, I don't wear too much makeup. My face looks okay except for the red eye. I inhale deeply, trying to compose myself. I still need to go outside. Gabriel is standing there, waiting for me. He doesn't touch me, but he follows me closely back to the table.There is a cup of tea on the table right now. It wasn't there earlier. He gives me without a word. I drink it. The tea is warm. It's chamomile. Nancy...I finish my tea and put it back on the table. "I'm sorry Gabriel. I use your mouthwash."He gives me a small smile and shakes his head. "No problem. Do you need to lie down?" He gestures at his room door. I stared at him and he realised what he'd just said. "I… I mean, if you feel unwell. I will wait here, of course," he says faster.I give him a weak smile. "I'm good Gabriel. Thank you. We can continue this." I gesture at his laptop. "What now?" I ask him. "That was the footage from that night. I have the next morning footage as well, but th

Gabriel’s POV"Sweetheart, you found Gabriel?" Grandma calls from downstairs and breaks our chemistry. Grandma, I thought you were my cupid!!Isabella's face blushes and she clears her throat. "Nancy asked me to get you. She baked your favourite cake." She walks out of my home office without waiting for my answer, while I'm still reeling after our almost kiss. I rake my hair, trying to compose myself and catch up with her. "So, what is your favourite cake?" She asks me and I shrug. "I don't know. I have eaten Nancy's cake since I was a baby. I love them all." "Lucky you!" She laughs. God, that laugh is intoxicating. "I love apple pie and madeleine cake.""Apple pie because you are from Oakwood Town and Madeline's cake, because Is from your Town? Seriously?" And we both burst into laughter. "You got me! What can I say? I will eat those 2 cakes forever."When we arrive at the pantry, there is a batch of madeleine cakes. "Your favourite cake, Gabriel!" my grandma says cheerily. Okay,

Isabella's POV"I was so scared, Isabella. I thought it would depress you because of what Alex did to you," he says, muffling me. I pull back and stare at him. "I berate myself for being a stupid and gullible person, yes. But the whole thing just makes me want to be a better person. So I can prove to myself I'm not that stupid. One is more than enough for me. I will not let Alex pull me down." I debated whether I wanted to tell this to Gabriel, but he shared about his mom with me. It seems like he trusts me so much to share his family's story with me and I feel I can trust him, too. "Our relationship went south a year ago. I just realised that we weren't communicating like lovers. I was just comfortable with him. Because he was my friend and became my boyfriend. No love… I was trying to make everything okay again because I wanted to create my own family. That was and still is my goal, but no more Alex in the picture. That's all. And I realised Alex and I. There was no love between us
