Chapter 41 Hand on My Arse

Lucas Gottesman: Brazilian oil magnate, net worth in the high twelve figures, famous for uncanny market foresight and a talent for seizing golden opportunities the rest of the world overlooked.That was what his file said.What the file neglected to mention was that he also liked to seize any woman within reach.His meaty, damp palm was on my arm. I could feel every sweaty ridge of it against my bare skin, and instantly regretted wearing a short-sleeved dress.‘Ever played Texas hold ’em? I could teach you,’ he said, smiling in a way that made my skin crawl. It wasn’t the charming grin he had used on Lochlan. This one was slick, predatory, and self-satisfied.Beneath that grin, I caught the same thinly veiled condescension I’d seen in Jaclyn’s eyes when she’d learned I was just a ‘secretary’.‘Thank you, but I know the rules.’ I smiled back, keeping my expression just this side of civil.The croupier finished dealing the hole cards.Gottesman—no, at this point, he was Grossman to me—le

Chapter 42 Fresh Meat

‘Mind if I take your place?’Kai gently nudged me out of my chair.‘You don’t know how to play the game,’ I said, before I realised he was trying to help me out of a tight spot.‘I’ve been watching for a while. I think I’ve got the hang of it.’ He smiled as he took my place. ‘Hi, Mr Gottesman, I’m new at this. Hope you can give me some pointers.’Standing behind him, I gave my colleague a grateful smile he couldn’t see, turned, and walked out of the suffocating room.I felt Grossman’s eyes on my back the entire way, and heard him ask Kai, ‘What’s her number?’I got out of the room and headed down the stairs to the aft deck, but the cooling sea breeze did nothing to calm the heat and fury raging inside me.The stuffy air in the room had given me a slight headache, and I realised the heat rising in my cheeks wasn’t only from anger.I kept walking blindly, not caring where I was headed as long as I kept moving.Stupid Grossman, stupid billionaires, stupid card games… I cursed everyone and

Chapter 43 I Grabbed My Boss’s Crotch

The men played a few more rounds before calling it a night.As the yacht pulled into the dock, I saw Olivia Di Grasso approaching Lochlan with a megawatt smile. ‘Can I have your number?’‘Sure.’ Lochlan inclined his head, but before Olivia could break into an ear-to-ear grin, he gestured towards me. ‘My chief of staff can give you my card.’‘Oh.’ Olivia’s smile faltered.She made her way to me, shoulders drooping just slightly.I silently pitied her. We both knew her grandfather already had Lochlan’s business line, but she wanted his personal number, and if he had intended to give it to her, he would have done it already.I handed her Lochlan’s beautifully embossed, custom-made business card with a courteous smile and mentally said, Sorry, can’t help you.The boss clearly had something going on with Jaclyn, and as his all-purpose chief of staff, which, fine, was really just a fancy title for secretary, it was part of my job to ensure his private life stayed private.‘Thanks.’ Olivia ac

Chapter 44 Post-Divorce Horniness

Before I could yank my hand back in appalled reflex, the car swerved around another bend, which sent Jaclyn crashing harder into me.I was completely flattened. My face ended up buried in the smooth, expensive cotton of Lochlan’s trousers. My hand, which I was still desperately trying to detach from its shocking position, was now trapped.I was wedged between two human bodies: a drunk woman who might vomit at any second, and my boss, who could fire me in a heartbeat.As if that was not bad enough, I could definitely feel the hard, illicit pressure of Lochlan’s arousal, unmistakably prominent beneath my fingers.No! a hysterical corner of my mind shrieked. I did NOT just face-plant into my boss’s crotch.My cheeks burned so hot I was surprised they did not scorch straight through his trousers. An embarrassed, hysterical giggle tried to escape me, but it was smothered by a wave of pure, molten heat.Lochlan’s entire body was rigid beneath my weight, his breath held tight. He didn’t move

Chapter 45 Getting Fired

A call from the boss summoned me to his floor.I took the lift, silently begging it to slow down, mentally bracing myself for whatever awaited me.I was ninety per cent certain Lochlan was going to fire me.Honestly, I’d consider myself lucky to get away without a sexual harassment lawsuit.‘Loch, open the door.’Jaclyn was outside Lochlan’s suite. The concierge was nowhere in sight.I paused in the corridor.‘I want to talk to you,’ she insisted. ‘I’m not leaving until I do.’I almost turned and walked straight back to my own room, but a text from Lochlan stopped me: [Come in.]How did he know I was here?I sighed, put my phone away and forced myself forward.Jaclyn’s pitiful pleas stopped at once when she saw me. Her head whipped round and she narrowed her eyes. ‘What are you doing here?’‘Boss’s orders,’ I said. I didn’t owe her an explanation, but it was the fastest way to move things along.She was blocking my way.I gestured. ‘Could you…?’Reluctantly, she stepped aside, still wa

Chapter 46 Wet Dream

I got my job at Mayfair Global because of Cary.This was the first real job I had earned on my own merit, with just my CV and experience, not because of my connections.Was I going to lose it barely a week after I’d started?The soft wool of the carpet blurred as tears pooled in my eyes.‘Is there anything else?’ Lochlan asked when I remained rooted to the spot for a long time.I hastily blinked back the tears. ‘No, I just wanted to thank you for the invaluable experience. It has been such a privilege and pleasure to work for you. I don’t think I can find another boss as tolerant as—’‘Wait.’ Lochlan stepped closer. His voice held evident surprise when he saw the tears in my eyes. ‘Are you crying? Because, what, you think you’re getting fired?’‘Am I not?’ I looked up, desperate for any shred of hope.‘Why would you think that?’‘Because… well, because of…’‘Because of the incident in the car?’ Lochlan gave a chuckle that was half amused, half exasperated. ‘You think I’d fire you over

Chapter 47 My Boss’s Love Life

‘What?’ I looked at Lochlan.He looked back evenly.‘Right.’ I nodded quickly. ‘I saw wrong. Nothing happened.’Who my boss kissed was none of my concern.I was his chief of staff, not his social secretary.For some reason, my mind went straight to Cary again.If, as his legally married wife, I couldn’t control who he kissed in his office, I had even less say here, as Lochlan’s employee.Lochlan squinted slightly. ‘You don’t believe me.’Was my scepticism that obvious?‘I do, I do. Totally.’‘I didn’t kiss her. She tried to make advances, but nothing happened. Certainly no kissing.’‘Right. Got it.’ I nodded like a bobblehead, desperate to end this line of conversation.‘Jaclyn and I are not a couple. Our families go way back. She’s a friend, a colleague, nothing more.’‘Got it.’ My cheeks were starting to hurt from smiling. Why was he telling me this?‘I’m not romantically interested in her. Or any other woman, as a matter of fact.’‘Okay, noted. Got it—’ My head froze mid-nod.Wait,

Chapter 48 Human Shield

‘But who and how, I can’t be certain just from this.’ I nodded at the spreadsheet.Kai scrolled down. ‘It’s been going on at least ten years. With salaries, CPF, bonuses, overtime… Two people, ten years—that’s nearly two million dollars.’‘About one point two million pounds,’ I said. ‘Lovely. Someone’s been milking the company like a prize dairy cow.’‘Whoever’s behind this has help from higher up,’ Kai said. ‘No way this slipped through unnoticed for a decade.’‘We’ll have to report it. But not before I know exactly whose neck I’m handing to the guillotine.’Kai nodded. ‘Boss has that government summit tomorrow. You can talk to him after.’‘Fine. I’ll check the factory first. See if I can shake something loose.’He frowned. ‘You sure about going yourself?’‘I’m sure.’ If I could survive a three-year contract marriage with Cary, I could handle a factory audit.Kai raised his glass. ‘Here’s to shaking the tree, then. Cheers.’I clinked his glass. ‘And may the rotten fruit fall fast.’I

Chapter 49 Cary’s POV: I Never Fucked Any of Them

‘What is it?’ I demanded.Portia put her phone face down on the table. ‘Nothing.’‘It’s Hyacinth, isn’t it?’‘It’s not.’‘You only giggle like that when it’s a text from her.’She shrugged. ‘So what if it is?’‘What did she say?’‘Why should I tell you?’She stood and walked to the thermostat like she owned the place. Outside, the sky hung low and swollen, the kind of filthy grey that made London look like it wanted to drown itself.It had been raining for days. Miserable city, miserable weather.I’d checked the forecast for Singapore. Thirty-one degrees. Sunshine. No wonder she hadn’t come back. Two weeks there and no sign of movement.‘When is she coming back?’ I asked.‘No idea.’Typical. Ever since Portia appointed herself Hyacinth’s legal mouthpiece, she’d turned every conversation into a brick wall of ‘no idea’s and ‘don’t know’s.She slid a document across the table. ‘Sign this.’The Joint Declaration of Intent to Finalise. I didn’t even look at it. ‘I want to talk to her.’‘And

Chapter 50 Never Heard of Them

After breakfast, I changed into a business-casual suit and flat shoes.I briefly considered heels, then remembered I was heading to an industrial island, not a boardroom fashion parade. Besides, nothing screams ‘clueless foreign auditor’ quite like someone trying to balance on four-inch stilettos near heavy machinery.On the taxi ride to Jurong Island, I got a text from Kai: [Boss is up. No hangover. Coconut water you suggested worked like a charm. Omw to the summit now. Gl with the investigation!]I replied with a thumbs up.Good thing I’d left early. The security process made airport immigration look like a drive-through. The taxi stopped at a checkpoint, and I was held hostage by a very polite guard with the persistence of a customs officer and the charm of a wet sock. Eventually, I had to call the plant director to vouch for me before they decided I wasn’t a security threat disguised as a woman in flats.‘Miss Galloway, welcome!’ Shawn Tan beamed at me with both hands outstretched.
