All Chapters of Oops! I Sexted My Boss On New Year's Eve: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

THEODOREThe meeting went by smoothly, but as I expected it to, and we entered an agreement with our Finnish business partners.During the short break, I stood up to pour some coffee for myself, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Miss Rhodes heading toward the exit.I couldn't stop myself from staring at her ass she walked past. Fuck, I couldn't even begin to wrap my head around how difficult it would be to stay under the same roof as her for a couple more days.She was still playing her little game, but the longer I stayed around her, the more unsure of this I became. I was honest when I told her she intrigued me. I didn't quite understand her.All the experience I had with women went to shit as soon as she walked into a room.Todd approached me and took the coffee pot from my hand. "I didn't know you were bringing your sexy secretary with you. You failed to mention it.""I have to give you explanations about my life now? Get the fuck out of where, Steimer. And she's my executive a

ALICEI blurted, "What?"A look of pure annoyance crossed his features. "What did Todd Steimer say to you, Miss Rhodes?"My immediate answer was, "Nothing."He watched me, running his tongue along the edge of his upper teeth. Then, he echoed, "Nothing."Uh, why was my heart beating faster than it was moments ago? Why was he looking at me like he was about to lose his shit?I had to admit to myself that there was something about the way he looked at me, with his piercing gaze, that made me equal parts terrified and excited. But it was a morbid kind of excitement and nothing normal.Why was he acting this way? Why did he care about what his business partner said to me?Because he's jealous. That was what the voice in my head told me.I ignored it because it only ever said shit.He started talking again and tore me from my thoughts. "You see, Miss Rhodes, I try and try to understand you, but I fail. Each and every time."I squared my jaw. "I don't see why you have to understand me, Mr. L

ALICEThis 'professional' outing didn't sit well with me.I was suspicious. I had a feeling that he mentioned it would be a professional setting just to get me to go with him, but what could I do? This asshole was my boss, and I couldn't say no to him.I had to go even though I was sure that he was lying to me. If he said it was part of the job,Why would there be a professional event when it wasn't marked on the calendar? He would've told me about it a long time ago.This was all bullshit and I knew it.My suspicion was confirmed when the driver stopped in front of a nondescript building. From the outside, I couldn't tell what kind of establishment it was.A hotel? A bar? A commercial space?I glanced at Mr. Linden-Hawthorne, but he wasn't looking at me anymore. He got out of the car and I did the same, walking hesitantly behind him while tightening my hold around my clutch. It was freezing out here. The cold seeped through the thick material of my coat. I hurried to get inside. He

THEODOREI glanced at Alice when I was sure she wasn't looking at me, and a smirk tugged at the corners of my lips.She was distracted again, staring out the window as we drove to the Airbnb. I knew what was on her mind. I could tell by the way she clenched her thighs under that woolen black dress she was wearing.She was thinking about the live show.I'd followed her and Todd when I saw them talking, and I knew there was only one place where the asshole would take her. We'd been to that club before, after all, and I knew his ways. I never thought I'd see him there, as there were so many other places where he could be. I didn't feel bad for never getting back to him—I was avoiding precisely the kind of situation I saw before my eyes.When I reached the bottom of the stairs and he saw me, he threw me a shitty apologetic look before slapping my shoulder and heading up the stairs.Miss Rhodes didn't notice any of this because her eyes hadn't left the stage.I drank her in, noting how rig

THEODOREI never would have guessed that my mother, of all people, would show up in Helsinki unannounced just to tell me that I have to marry Carmella.I slept like shit last night and I woke up in a terrible fucking mood. The conference was later today, unfortunately, which meant I couldn't get rid of my mother until then.Mom didn't come to stay long. She had other matters to attend to first in Paris, then in London. But, of course, she had to come here just to torment me with this shit I'd been trying to forget for days.I half expected Alice to be downstairs by the time I woke up, but she wasn't. Only my mother was. She gave me a withering look, then smiled and asked me, "Hungry?""Not exactly.""I hope you thought about what we discussed last night."I groaned in response. I didn't care if it offended her.She brought her cup of coffee to her lips and watched me pour myself some. I then leaned against the counter, and we both stared at each other.Mom had a way of wanting to impo
