All Chapters of Bossed By My Brother's Best Friend: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

LILA'S POVMy face heats up as I stare at Wade. "No, I... I was just exploring. I didn't know you were in here.""Didn't you?" His lips curve into that infuriating smirk. "You're standing right outside my study.""I got lost!""Lost." He leans against the doorframe in a way that makes his biceps flex, all casual dominance. "Right outside my study.""Like I said, I didn't know you were in here," I reply quickly. "I wasn't eavesdropping or anything.""Weren't you?" His eyes narrow slightly, but there's a teasing glint in them. "Because it sure looks like you were listening.""I wasn't!" My voice comes out too defensive. "Why would I eavesdrop on you?""I don't know, kitten." He cocks his head, studying me. "Maybe you wanted to be around me and didn't know how to ask. Now you're using the whole 'lost' excuse as cover."The arrogance. The sheer fucking arrogance of this man."If you wanted to be around me, Lila, you didn't need to pretend to be lost." He pushes off the doorframe, taking

LILA'S POVRichard's eyes dart between Wade and me, fixing on me just a bit too long, and I can feel it even though I'm staring straight ahead at the brushed metal doors.I can tell he's putting pieces together.The photos from last night. Me showing up with Wade this morning. The way Wade's hand was on my waist in every single picture.He must be suspicious.The elevator dings, and the doors slide open to the fifteenth floor.Wade steps out first, Richard following, and I bring up the rear, my heart pounding harder with each step.And then I see them.Standing near Wade's office, talking in low voices.Connor.And an older man who has to be his father. The resemblance is unmistakable. Same build, same defined features, same entitled posture.My entire body goes rigid.What the fuck is Connor doing here?Connor's eyes lock on mine the second we step off the elevator, and I watch his expression transform from surprise to something darker.He didn't expect to see me here.But he recover

WADE'S POV"I..." Lila hesitates, her eyes sliding to Connor, and I watch her expression morph.Her face hardens. Just a fraction. But enough for me to notice.Connor's glaring at her now, and Dennis looks confused, like he can't figure out why I'm asking my secretary for her input."Yes," Lila replies slowly, her voice steady. "I think that's a fair approach, Mr. Cross."I smirk. "How do you suggest I test him?"Lila pauses, her eyes still locked on Connor, and I can practically see the wheels turning in her head.Then she speaks, and her voice is sharp enough to cut glass."I think Connor should start from the bottom and work his way up. Earn his position like everyone else. If he impresses you, then you can take it from there."The words land like a dagger.Damn.I didn't expect that.Connor's face goes red, his hands digging into the armrests of his chair so tight his knuckles turn white.Dennis's smile disappears completely, replaced by barely concealed offense.And me?I fucking

LILA'S POVWhat the hell? I thought he left with his father."Are you fucking insane, Connor?" I shout, my voice shaking with fury. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"Connor's face is flushed, his eyes blazing with anger. "What do I think I'm doing? What the fuck do you think you're doing, Lila?""I don't know what you're talking about.""Don't play dumb with me," he snarls, stepping closer, invading my space. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. What you said back there in Wade's office. Telling him I should start from the bottom?”I cross my arms, lifting my chin defiantly even though my heart's still racing. "I was just being practical.""Practical?" His laugh is harsh and bitter. "You were being a vindictive bitch.""Oh, I'm vindictive?" My voice rises despite my effort to keep it down. "What about when you literally threw me out of our apartment? When you treated me like trash? When you told me no Alpha would ever want me?"A muscle ticks in Connor’s jaw. "That was d

WADE'S POVSabrina squeezes her breasts slowly, her fingers kneading her flesh in a way that's supposed to be erotic, and she looks up at me through her lashes."You know you want them," she purrs, running her hands over her nipples in slow, deliberate circles. "You used to love them, Wade. Remember? Remember how you'd suck on them while you fucked me? How you'd bite my nipples until I screamed?"Irritation rolls through me so fast I actually take a step back, putting distance between us.She's really doing this. She's really trying to seduce me with her tits like I'm some fucking teenager who can't control himself."Stop what the fuck you're doing and get dressed." My voice is harsh, final, leaving no room for argument. "I don't want you, Sabrina."Her expression changes instantly, shock and hurt and rage all battling for dominance, and she yanks her dress back up with sharp, jerky movements.Her hands tremble slightly as she adjusts the straps.Then her eyes narrow, and I can see t
