Semua Bab Oops! I Sexted My Boss On New Year's Eve: Bab 41 - Bab 50

ALICEGod, I'd completely lost the plot at this point.Why was I letting my tormentor embrace me? Why did I feel so calm in his arms?Again, Stockholm Syndrome.There was no other explanation for this behavior of mine.It didn't help that I was making a fool of myself, too. But I couldn't deny it...I felt so much better after getting all of that poison out of my chest. I could breathe again now that the tears were all gone.And it felt so good to be held while I purged my soul.I stirred and he looked down. I had to admit that I felt a little embarrassed to meet his gaze. He'd seen me in my most vulnerable state and I didn't know how to navigate this.He was my boss. My torment. A man my body reacted to against my better judgment."Are you better?"Why did his question embarrass me so much? "Y-Yes. Much better."A beat of silence passed. Then, "Am I the reason why you're in this state? Be honest with me."His hand moved from the middle of my back to my nape. When had my hair fallen lo

THEODOREI watched Alice devour the meal I prepared for her like someone who hadn't had a proper meal in days.And that was probably the case.Pasta Alfredo was the quickest thing I could think of making and she sure as hell didn't complain, even though she made it seem like she wouldn't have touched the meal with a ten-foot pole earlier on.I wished I could figure her out. Not just guess the way I did, but truly know what went through her head. I desired to anticipate her every thought before it even crossed her mind.Something about Alice Rhodes drove me nuts, and I wished I knew what it was.She looked up suddenly and we made eye contact. I didn't bother trying to disguise the fact that my eyes hadn't left her since she sat down. From my point of view, we were past the point of denials.I wanted her and wouldn't bother keeping that a secret from her.Alice knew it, too, and judging from her body language, she was attracted to me, too. She could deny it all she wanted, but I knew th

THEODORE"Theodore."The sound of my mother's voice made me turn around sharply. I saw her and Felix walking toward me, and the word for how quickly my mood went sour at the sight of them both hadn't been invented yet.What the hell were they doing here?Then, I remembered. She told me about this event weeks ago. I told her I wouldn't come.Fuck, this was just what I needed.My hand slid from Alice's back as I turned around to face them. Her discomfort was written all over her face as clear as day. Of course, after the way my mother acted in Helsinki, I couldn't blame her.Then, there was the issue with Felix, who fired her on the spot yesterday without consulting me."Mother," was all I could say. I glanced at my cousin and had to force myself to greet him. "Felix.""Theo." He looked amused as he stared back at me, and of course, I didn't fail to notice how he looked at her. My desire was to gouge his eyes out for that.None of them acknowledged her."Surely you both remember Miss Rh

ALICESince we left Benjamin's side, my jerk of a boss hadn't said a word to me.Not one.Naturally, I was overthinking everything and wondering what the hell he could've heard that seemed to turn him to stone.Should I have wasted more time caring about this? No. But I couldn't stop myself from worrying anyway. First, I felt embarrassed, then, I got insanely pissed off.He was the one who listened to a conversation that didn't concern him! Why did I feel so bad about it?The conference went right over my head. I didn't even take notes. I wasn't in the right state for anything, especially after the humiliating encounter with his mother and the jerk whose phone I broke.If I could, I'd walk out the door, call a cab, and go home.But I didn't do that, and the whole day just passed me by. By the time we left the hotel, the sky was purple, and when we reached the office, it was already nighttime.It was the longest, most unnerving day of my entire existence.We were forced to ride the ele

ALICEMom stepped away from my embrace after what felt like an eternity and dried her tears. Her mascara was judged and her eyes were swollen from crying for so many hours. I turned my attention to Rory and pulled him close. He wrapped an arm around me for a handful of seconds before dropping it."How is he?" I managed to ask. "Please don't tell me...""The doctor came to see us not too long ago," she claimed, straightening her blue and white checkered shirt. "I tried to call you, but I guess you were on the plane because you didn't pick up. He's fine. He's out of danger. The doctor described the attack as...too much stress. He's fine."I breathed a lot easier and rubbed my chest with one hand while wiping my tears with the other. "He's okay, then?""Yeah," she assured me. "They ran all sorts of tests on him. He's as healthy as the day is long. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. It's just...it's so good to see you, my baby. You have no idea what this feels like to me. Having the who
