All Chapters of A Fake Date With My New Boss : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 032Lola’s POVThe email arrived shortly after I finished checking the morning schedule. I almost ignored the notification, assuming it was another routine message from the company, but when I opened it, I immediately saw the subject.Official Business Trip In Five DaysI read it twice before leaning back in my chair.The company was sending a team on a five-day business trip, and as Zack's secretary, I was expected to go with them. The email included the travel date, accommodation details, meeting schedule and a reminder that I needed to begin preparing immediately.I stared at the screen for a while.Five days.Five days before I see Zack. I've not set my eyes on him since that night. After everything that had happened, the last thing I wanted was to spend days trapped in the same place with him.But this was an official company assignment. I could not simply refuse because I was embarrassed or heartbroken, especially when the trip was part of my job.I sighed and closed the

Chapter 034Zack's POVI stared at my phone again, even though the screen had been blank for the last ten minutes. Lola had not called. She had not texted. She had not even sent the kind of short message she usually sent when she wanted to avoid a conversation.My thumb hovered over her name.Should I call her?I opened our chat, typed three words, then deleted them.Can we talk?I tossed the phone onto the table and leaned back, already regretting it.Leo watched me from across the room, her expression becoming more amused by the second.“You are going to wear out your phone if you keep staring at it.”“I am thinking.”“You have been thinking for twenty minutes.”I ignored her and picked up the phone again.“I should call her.”“No.”I looked at her. “Why?”“Because you are angry, she is hurt, and neither of you is going to say what you actually mean over the phone.”I rubbed my forehead.“Then what am I supposed to do?”“Wait.”That answer irritated me more than it should have. “I ha

Chapter 036 Lola’s POV “I am sorry, Miss Anna.” I lowered my head, trying to keep my voice steady. I did not want to make the situation worse, especially with everyone already watching us. I gave her a small bow before turning away. I could feel Zack's eyes following me, but I refused to look back. The moment I reached my room, I closed the door and leaned against it. I stayed there for a few seconds, staring at nothing. Why did everything have to become so complicated? I had come to Switzerland because of work. That was all. My salary was the reason I was here, and I needed to remember that. The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. I showered, dressed in a simple but professional outfit, and checked the documents for the day's meeting twice before placing them into a fold

Chapter 038Lola’s POVAfter Felix's mother walked away, leaving me outside the hotel, I stood there for a while, trying to calm myself down. I wiped the tears from my face before returning inside. I did not want anyone else to see how badly her words had affected me.I was almost at my room when I turned into the wrong corridor and stopped.Zack and Anna were there.I didn't want another confrontation, so I lowered my gaze and tried to walk past them without drawing attention to myself.Unfortunately, Anna noticed me first.Her eyes landed on me, and something changed in her expression. Before I could look away, she moved closer to Zack, wrapped her arms around him, and tried to kiss him.I forced myself not to react. I simply continued walking.But the moment Zack saw me, everything changed.He quickly pushed Anna away.“Zack!”I heard Anna's surprised voice behind me, but I kept walking.“Hey, you there!”I stopped.I slowly turned around. “Yes, ma'am.” I bowed slightly, already wis

Chapter 040Zack’s POVWhen the break ended, everyone gradually returned to the conference room. I took my seat and glanced toward the chair where Lola had been sitting earlier.It was empty.I looked around the room again, expecting her to appear with the documents, but she was nowhere to be seen.“Where is Lola?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm.Nobody answered immediately.Felix looked toward the door. “Maybe she went back to get something. I can go and check on her.”I turned toward him. “Sit down.”He stopped. “I will check on her.”“I said sit down.” My voice came out sharper than I intended. I did not want Felix running after her again. He had spent enough time with her already, and lately, it seemed as if every time I looked in her direction, he was there beside her.Felix slowly sat back down.“We can continue without her,” I said, turning toward the investor. “She has already provided the necessary documents.”The meeting continued, but I barely heard half of what they
