Oops! I Sexted My Boss On New Year's Eve のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

ALICEI had about four glasses of champagne and my head was spinning, but I felt good. Really good. Emma stuck to my side, and when I foolishly reached for the fifth glass, she slapped my hand. "You told me to warn you not to drink too much, remember? You really wanna get drunk here?""Oops, I guess you're right," I agreed with her. Her arm was linked with mine, and we were talking away from the group. I made a mental note to stay away from Theodore Linden-Fuckthorne and I was going to keep that promise. Bastard. Arrogant bastard. Why did he have to tell me to smile? What was the need for that?To humiliate me? Remind me that I would always be beneath him?Prick. I should've forgotten the interaction, but I was only getting angrier with each passing minute. Thankfully, I didn't see him after the stare down earlier. "Happy you came?""Yeah," I smiled. "I am, actually. You know I love spending time with you, Ems. You're my best friend in the whole world."I saw guilt flash across he

THEODOREAs I returned to the party, I couldn't stop myself from looking over my shoulder at Alice's receding form.What the hell was that?The only thing that convinced me that this craziness even happened was my stinging cheek. It burned from her slap and it honestly made me strain against my pants. Not that I wasn't hard from our...little encounter earlier.From the minute I laid my eyes on Alice Rhodes, with that dimpled chin pointing at the ceiling and that sharp hazel gaze giving me a once-over, I've wanted her. I couldn't remember desiring a woman like I did her.It was bordering on an obsession at this point, but I didn't care. It gave me an excuse to get up in the morning and stride into the office. The finance part of my family's empire was the last place in the world where I wanted to be, but my father's death gave me limited options. My brother had his hands full. My sister...she wasn't cut out for this kind of environment. She was delicate. Artistic.But Alice Rhodes made

ALICEI was frozen. Not just physically, but mentally.I didn't even know how to approach this situation. This incredibly messed-up situation. So beyond fucked up.What was Emma doing in my fiancé's car?Why were they kissing each other?These questions were enough to make me move, and by the time I reached the side of his car, she was already getting out and cleaning her smudged lipstick with her thumb. She looked up sharply and we made eye contact.The only thing I could say was, "What the fuck?"Benjamin got out of the car, and he stared at me long and hard. It was hard to look away from Emma's face. Hell, she was my friend for some time now, and I considered her the only real friend I ever had.This was what she did to me? I couldn't even make sense of it."Alice," Benjamin began in a cold voice he had never used with me before, "don't cause any trouble. Just walk away."His words made me scoff before I laughed. It was a weak laugh with barely any emotion in it. "Don't cause any t

ALICEI waited out in the lobby for Mr. Linden-Hawthorne to join me.It didn't escape my notice how I was the only assistant at this meeting. Nobody else brought theirs, and if I had to be completely honest, I would have to admit that I had no idea why Mr. Linden-Hawthorne asked me to join him.My presence wasn't necessary. Like at all.A couple of minutes later, he joined me. Without even looking at me, he started talking. "I want you to cancel all my appointments on Monday. Go ahead and cancel anything you might have, too."Mine? Why? "I'm not sure I understand."We stepped outside the building and moved toward the sidewalk, waiting for the company's car. It was freezing cold. I regretted not going for thicker pants, or at least wearing a layer of warm stockings under the ones I had on.My ass would freeze off if the driver didn't show up quickly."I need you to call our pilot and arrange a flight to Helsinki. Find the best hotel away from the city and book two rooms, too.""Two?"A

ALICEFriday came sooner than I expected.Because the flight was after work, I had to keep my luggage in my car, and then I drove to the airport to meet with Mr. Linden-Hawthorne. He had a meeting before closing time, which he went alone to, so I had to make my own way there.I parked my car outside the airport, then headed inside.The jet was already waiting on the tarmac. I passed the travel lounge, ignoring the tempting smell of coffee coming from the bar, and I stepped outside to reach the plane.I looked up and saw him watching me from the window. I tried to ignore how my nerves were all shot to hell, but ended up pausing at the bottom of the steps. What was I doing here? Was I really going to travel to a whole ass foreign country with Theodore Linden-Hawthorne, my asshole of a boss who clearly hadn't forgotten that one drunken encounter that ruined my life?What was I thinking? Did I even know what I was signing up for at this point?Breathing in deeply, I went in. We made eye c
