Semua Bab THE DEVILISH BOSS: Bab 111 - Bab 120

“Do you know where your brother is? He has suddenly disappeared without a word since last week.”Veronica put a bag of rosella tea into her cup and then poured hot water from the small teapot that Lysiana had prepared. She inhaled deeply the soothing aroma of the herbal tea and let the fragrant aroma drift into her brain.“This is not the first time he has disappeared without a trace. Why is Mom suddenly worried about him?”Finn watched his mother's grace as she sipped the tea slowly. His mother came from a noble family before his father married her. Since he was young, his mother had always implemented a very strict parenting style towards him and Xander. As a youngest child who was used to being around his mother, he could follow all the rules his mother set easily. But, not with Xander. He was starting to get fed up with everything his mother dictated. Xander refused the old-fashioned things his mother forced on him. Xander turned into a naughty boy who always annoyed his mother, b

Xander tightened his jaw as he watched the loving-dovey couple walk into Angel's apartment. Xander tried to push the bad thoughts out of his head. He then reached into his trouser pocket to activate his cellphone, which had been in suspended animation for four days. Dozens of notifications immediately scrambled to enter his phone and created a very loud sound in the quiet hallway of Angel's apartment.Xander stuffed his cell phone back into his trouser pocket and promised to check all the notifications when he got home. He hoped he could enjoy a hot bath with a bottle of the best wine from his collection and classical music from his playlist. But, all those dreams evaporated in the air quickly when he found Phoebe sitting back on his penthouse sofa."What are you doing here?"Phoebe jumped out of her seat with excitement. She ran over to Xander, who was standing in front of his penthouse door and hugged him tightly.“Where have you been, Xander? I really miss you. I thought after you

“I don't want to discuss this anymore, Ander. You'd better eat your food before it gets cold.”“I will wait for Angel. She took too long to just pick up your bracelet in the bathroom.”“Maybe she has a stomach ache and needs to stay in the bathroom longer. Just let her be. Don't be too overprotective. She will be fine.”Phoebe grabbed a piece of French fries and chewed eagerly. She pushed a piece of French fries towards Xander, but Xander rejected it.“I'll see her in the bathroom. Angel has been gone for more than half an hour.”Phoebe snorted as she watched Xander walk out of his room and leave her alone to munch on those greasy fries. Phoebe took a sip of her latte to push away all the fries she had crammed into her mouth, and then she stood up to follow Xander into the bathroom.Her plan still didn't go smoothly. She hoped that Angel would suffer serious injuries after slipping in the bathroom. She had poured a bottle of liquid soap to make the bathroom floor slippery. She planned

"Are you sure he's really disappointed?"“One hundred percent sure.”Phoebe frowned in disgust at Finn, who was eating his pasta hungrily. Finn was like a starving man who hadn't eaten in years. It was his second meal after he ate a portion of Gnocci with extra cheese.“Can you stop chewing like a child? Look, your lips are all smeared with sauce,” Phoebe threw a tissue at Finn and forced him to wipe his mouth.“The pasta is really delicious. You really know places that sell good food.”"This place belongs to one of my friends," Phoebe folded her arms across her chest."Back to Xander. So, the baby isn't his?"Finn offered her greasy fries, but Phoebe shook her head. She'd eaten too many greasy fries at Xander's office that afternoon. In normal situations, she would avoid eating fatty and oily foods in order to keep her body in good shape. But for Xander's sake, she was willing to break all the strict rules she had set in her life.“The baby is Dylan's.”“What if Angel is lying? Did s

Xander tapped his heels boredly on the floor. They had been waiting for more than half an hour to meet Angel's obstetrician, but there was no sign that Angel would be called into the examination room."Is it usually this long?""Usually it's not this busy. I think it's because there's a backlog of patients during the long weekend."“Why are they taking so long?”"Hey, where are you going?"“I have to see the receptionist.”Xander wasn't used to waiting for hours. He was always a priority customer and never wasted time waiting like a fool.“Why is Doctor Riana taking so long? I want my wife to be examined right now.""Sorry sir, you have to wait and be patient. Doctor Riana has many patients today."“Can't you put my wife first? We've been waiting for more than half an hour. I'm not an unemployed man like the others. I have a lot of paperwork I need to finish tonight.”“Unemployed, you say?”"Arrghh... What are you doing?"Suddenly, an old woman hit him hard on the head. Xander groaned
