All Chapters of Oops! I Sexted My Boss On New Year's Eve: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

ALICEI couldn't stop thinking about what happened with Theo’s mother, even when the whole family was pretending that nothing had happened over dinner. I couldn’t understand how they could just push it all to the back of their minds and eat. Laugh. Joke around. Theo joined in, but his eyes told a different story. He was like me, in that sense. His mother’s words were beyond disgusting and that thing she was going to say before Francesca interrupted her…She was a disgusting human being. There was no other way around it. How could she throw something like that in her son’s face? How was any of it her business? Didn’t she find it weird that she cared so much about her son’s personal life?I was relieved when we reached home. Mentally, I was exhausted. Theo and I hadn’t said a word to each other during the drive here and even that in itself affected me.I turned to him as soon as we walked through the door and his troubled eyes met mine. I sighed and said his name softly. “Theo.”He sh

THEODOREA few days had passed since that incident with Alice’s ex-fiancé and I’d done everything in my power to ensure that would never happen again. I upped the security on all floors and people would now have to be screened before even setting foot inside the building. The need for such drastic measures didn’t exist before, but things changed all the time, and I wasn’t going to take any risks. Honestly, we should’ve called the police when it happened because his behavior was beyond concerning, but Alice insisted that we leave it alone. If he tried something else, then we’d have cause for concern. Aside from that…Alice didn’t seem to think about it at all. Even when it happened, she hadn’t looked as disturbed as I felt. She seemed more worried about the lessons I’d been giving her than her ex. I was glad that she was getting the hang of things fairly quickly. With more guidance and experience, she’d be able to manage a company on her own. Alice was a fast learner and an extreme

ALICEThree hours later, dinner had long gone cold and Theo still didn’t call me back. Was I worried out of my mind? Absolutely. But I didn’t want to add to the stress of the situation by calling him incessantly. He told me he’d get back to me and I had to trust that he’d keep his word. Maybe something came up. Then again, if it was something so terrible indeed, God forbid, then he would’ve called too, right?Not unless he was mad at me for concealing the truth of Francesca’s health from him.This thought clung to me and made me uneasy. I lost my appetite even though I’d only had a salad with croutons for lunch. I couldn’t sit still for five minutes. Where was he? What happened?Some time later, and I had no idea when, I decided I’d had enough of waiting around. I couldn’t help it. Chills raced up and down my spine as I dialed his number, and when I pressed the phone to my ear, I tried to imagine how our conversation would go and immediately imagined the worst. But he didn’t pick

ALICEAttempted murder. The words kept replaying in my head like a broken record. Someone tried to kill Theo? Kill? That made everything so much worse. Who could it be?Even as this question crossed my mind, I knew there could only be one person, and that was Felix. I believed that Thelma and Oliver had the same thought, but they didn't say the words out loud. They couldn't. They'd be accusing someone without proof. However, Oliver told me that he and Francesca named a few people who had issues with Theo when the investigators asked. I was pretty sure that Felix was a part of the group, but who else?I didn't have a chance to ask because I was still digesting everything they had told me, but now, these questions wouldn't leave me alone. I was plagued by the endless possibilities. Could Felix have been so angry that he decided Theo had to die?Was he that cold-blooded?Oliver had to leave, so Thelma and I were alone. I managed to have a meager meal that only made me more nauseous,

ALICEI kept having these terrible dreams of Theo never waking up. In one of them, I even attended his funeral. I woke up with tears spilling down my cheeks and a heavy heart.It killed me to stay away from the hospital, but Oliver kept filling me in on what the doctor said, and according to him, there was no point in my sitting there all day and suffering in vain. I was all alone. Though I’d tried to eat for the past three days, I didn’t have much of an appetite. All I could think about was Theo. I worried about not ever seeing him again. What then? What would I do with myself? Everything felt so right when he was beside me. We had so many plans. Could this be the end? I wouldn’t be able to bear it if it were. The sun was just setting when Francesca came to see me. We’d talked a bit over the phone over the last few days. She checked in on me more than I did on her. Sometimes, I was so overwhelmed by sadness and fear that I couldn’t rise from bed. We held each other at the door.
