Semua Bab My Billionaire Boss’ Dirty Secret: Bab 71 - Bab 76

How did I end up naked and in Charlie’s bed? The last thing I remember is Francesca calling him to come pick us up from the club. Did we sleep together? Surely I'd remember if we had sex although, I have no recollection of coming to his house, let alone how I got into his bed. My clothes are scattered around the room but just mine, not Charlie's. Even his side of the bed still appears to be made, like he wasn't even here. My head feels like someone is playing a drum solo on repeat and my mouth is like swallowing cotton balls. I reach for the glass of water on the nightstand, take a big gulp as I try to recall what happened last night. Downstairs I can hear movement in the kitchen. I gather up my clothes, get dressed and wander down. I find Charlie in the kitchen, his back toward me as he stands over a pan on the stove. He's shirtless, wearing only a pair of dark grey shorts, with his tattoos exposed on his muscular back. “Morning,” he greets me, without turning. “Hi,” I reply,

On Saturday Tess and I invited Bailey over for a much-needed girls’ night. We had face masks, made cocktails, had an abundance of sweet and salty snacks and put on cheesy rom-coms that we’d all seen a million times before.

A girls' night was the perfect cure. “Pete asked me to go on a dirty weekend together next week,” Bailey shares as Tess fills her glass up with margarita mix. “Where are you off to?” I ask, offering my own cup up for a refill. “Ettalong,” she replies excitedly. “It's for our three-month anniversary.”If Pete and Bailey are celebrating three months together that means Tess and Benji will be clocking up the same milestone shortly after. I'm happy for my friends, they've both found men who adore them. “We should call the hotel and pre-warn them that there's a screamer coming to stay,” Tess jokes. “They’ll need to keep that flo

Charlie You're an idiot, you spent months wallowing in self-pity, fantasising about winning her back and here she is, in your house, offering exactly what you wanted.

Tell that woman that you couldn't possibly live another day without her in your arms. That your heart beats only for her. Tell her that you love her so deeply and that you made a colossal mistake when you rejected her. My feet hit the hardwood floor and I find myself walking the short distance to the door or the guest bedroom. I bring my hand up, ready to knock but stop myself. I know how this will end. We would be happy for a little while but then the darkness from my past would creep in and destroy us. My mind floods with the image of her from that day in her kitchen, the morning she broke up with me. How much sadness she held in her eyes.
