All Chapters of A Fake Date With My New Boss : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 041Zack's POVI kept patting Lola's back gently, holding her against my chest as though the slightest movement might make her slip away from me. Her head rested beneath my chin, and I could feel her breathing slowly against my shirt. She had opened her eyes a few moments ago, but she was still weak, barely able to lift her head without struggling. I had never seen her like this before, and I hated how helpless it made me feel. All day, I had been so occupied with my jealousy and anger that I had failed to notice she was unwell. What kind of man was I, claiming to care about her while allowing my own foolish pride to get in the way?"Lola, can you hear me?" I asked softly, brushing a few strands of hair away from her face.She gave a small nod, but her lips remained parted as she breathed through her mouth. I studied her face, searching for any sign that she was feeling better. Her cheeks were pale, and she looked so exhausted that I wanted nothing more than to carry her strai

Chapter 043Lola’s POVThe final day of the business trip had finally arrived, and I was beginning to think Switzerland had given me enough memories to last a lifetime. Between the endless meetings, Anna's constant attempts to humiliate me, and the embarrassing number of times I had cried in my hotel room, I was more than ready to return home. However, there was one thing I couldn't deny, no matter how hard I tried to act normal. Zack had kissed me last night, confessed his feelings, and called me the woman he was falling in love with. Every time the memory returned, I found myself smiling like an idiot. I would remember the way he had looked at me, how carefully he had held me while I was sick, and how his voice had softened when he apologized. Then I would remember that I had confessed my feelings too, and immediately bury my face in my pillow. How was I supposed to face him after saying all those embarrassing things? Worse, how was I supposed to behave around him when I knew I wou

Chapter 045Lola's POV For a second, I stood completely still, unable to believe she had actually slapped me. My cheek stung, and I slowly turned my face back toward her. She looked furious, but there was something else in her expression too. She had expected me to lower my head, apologize, or perhaps burst into tears. Hehehehe! She had just subscribed to my premium madness. "How dare you speak to me like that?" she snapped.I looked at her hand, then back at her face. "You just slapped me.""And I can do it again if you don't learn to respect me."I let out a short, disbelieving laugh. "Respect you? You think respect means allowing you to hit me?"Before she could answer, I stepped forward and slapped her back.Hard.Lola is back! It feels so good to be back!Anna stumbled a step to the side, one hand flying to her cheek. Her mouth fell open, and for the first time since I had met her, she looked genuinely shocked."Don't you ever put your hands on me again," I said, my voice shak

Chapter 047Lola's POVThe days following Anna's little sickness drama were surprisingly peaceful.After all the noise she had made in the hotel lobby, I expected her to find another reason to cause trouble, but she kept her distance. She barely spoke to Zack, and whenever we crossed paths, she acted as though I wasn't there.Honestly, I wasn't complaining.I had enough problems of my own without volunteering to become the main character in another one of Anna's performances.Zack, on the other hand, seemed to have discovered a new hobby: spending every possible minute with me.Whether we were having breakfast, attending meetings, or walking through the hotel, he always found a reason to be close. Sometimes, he would simply reach for my hand under the table, and other times, he would whisper something that made me struggle to keep a straight face in front of other people.I wasn't used to this side of him, but I was beginning to like it.Very much.And just when I thought he couldn't

Chapter 049Zack's POV Leo noticed the way I was smiling foolishly when he came in later with Felix; he stopped at the door and looked at me."Something funny?""No.""Then why are you smiling?""Am I not allowed to?"Leo glanced at Felix. "He's smiling again. This is becoming a regular occurrence."Felix laughed.I pointed towards the empty chair. "Sit down before I change my mind about giving you a position here."Felix immediately became serious, although the amusement remained in his eyes.Leo started explaining the company's structure, and I listened as he went through the different departments. Felix asked a few questions, and I was pleased to see that he was paying attention.He wasn't as inexperienced as I had assumed. He simply needed guidance and an opportunity to prove himself.For the first time, I felt comfortable having him in my office.And when he addressed me as Zack instead of Mr. Thompson, I didn't correct him.Later that afternoon, I stepped out of my office to at
