All Chapters of Tangled In Bed With My Boss : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ariel and I sat on my bed, both lost in thought.The tension had simmered a little, but not enough to disappear. It just settled. Heavy, quiet. Our minds were probably racing in different directions.Ariel probably had a thousand things to say, but she held them in. I knew she was.Her eyes did that thing—darting slightly to both sides—whenever she was holding herself back.“What if you just resign?” she suddenly blurted out.I shook my head immediately.“That would be a little too much,” I said. “And besides, I still need this job.”“You don’t need it.”“I do!” I corrected, a little too quickly. “Abigail is still in school, and I don’t want my sister to suffer when she gets into college. I really don’t want to do something that might mess up everything in my life.”Ariel went quiet after that.She dropped it.And somehow, that silence said more than words.We eventually fell asleep on my bed, exhaustion pulling us under whether we were ready or not.The next morning, I tried to act l

My whole existence flashed before my eyes, and my heartbeat was now drumming in my ears.I didn't know what to say other than biting my lips and trying hard not to cry.“The CCTV in my house was temporarily disabled, but Mia told me you saw both of us together and left.”I let out a breath.Mia actually covered it up.“You are my assistant, Jasmine. In situations like that, you are supposed to do your job. That's the reason I texted you, but at the end of the day, you chose to be an idiot.”When Mr. Lincoln was done bashing me with words, I returned to my office. I collapsed into the chair. Does this mean I'm saved?He did say the Security Cams were temporarily disabled.I exhaled and pushed it to the back of my mind. It would pass.This moment would definitely pass.Right?It felt too easy. I shook my head. Thirty thousand dollars was a big amount. Mia would definitely keep her mouth shut.I kept myself busy with files and emails. By the end of the day, I had completed a week's worth

I sat on the couch and stared at Mark. I know. I know. I should be ecstatic that some rich dude was in my apartment, sitting on my couch and rubbing his hands while glancing around with a polite smile, but I wasn't. Months back, after I went on a date with Mark and had to leave because Mr. Lincoln had a thing against his workers interacting, Ariel convinced me I did wrong, and I had to make it up to Mark. I was scared Mr. Lincoln might spot us together, so I invited him for dinner at our place. He got in. The table was made all under Ariel's supervision. After he sat down and I asked how he wanted me to make it up to him, he asked about the company's undisclosed project. I knew right away he wasn't interested in me. He was just after Mr. Lincoln. Everything grew awkward after I told him I signed an NDA. I shifted my gaze when his eyes settled on my face. He didn't say a word for a minute, and neither did I. I understand why he would want to know about the Mr. Lincoln project, bu

George PovThe vase shattered against the wall, the glass raining on the floor. My investigator stared at the damage and gave me a look, but I didn't care.“George. You need to calm down. Your temper will only do more damage than good.” He said.Vincent was my investigator and the closest thing to a friend that I have. After dropping off Sasha, I tried to meet with the management of the next project we wanted to handle, only to be informed by their foreman that the budget was still being finalized.This morning, they announced a partnership with Shine Construction Group, and every design shown was what was discussed during the last board meeting.I poured a shot of alcohol and drowned it down. The hot liquid did nothing to soothe the heat in my chest.Shine wasn't just another construction company. Ken Bryan ran it—my rival. I shut my eyes as they met the photos scattered on the desk. Mark and Ken Bryan are in a club together. “I think you should stop breaking everything your hand t

George PovAfter Jasmine brought Mia to the hospital, I felt it in my guts that nothing happened between Mia and me, but that would mean I had sex with my assistant, and I couldn't just wrap my head around that.That morning, when she didn't come in, I considered several solutions, including compensating her and dropping her. This ache kept hitting me hard.After Vincent sent in updates on Mark's activities and I saw him outside Jasmine's apartment, I lost it.I left the office and drove down here. When she opened that door looking extremely seductive, I just had to kiss her, and when I did, I remember that feeling, that scent. She was the one. The one I touched that night. The one I tasted. It's wild.Her body fit so well with mine, and she came undone with every touch.Did she fit so well with everyone?She looked everywhere but at me, which made her so cute.I caught myself. This was my assistant. Getting involved with staff is bad leadership, but having her butt pressed solidly ag
