All Chapters of Too Late To Love Me, Mr Jobs: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

For two weeks, Mira Nolan had endured her boss's unreasonable attitude without knowing what she had done wrong. She had finally had enough. After finishing the day's work, she gathered the last file he needed and headed for his office, determined to find out what had changed between them.She stopped outside his door and knocked twice.When nobody answered, she waited a moment before knocking again. Hearing voices inside, she reached for the handle and pushed the door open, only to stop when she saw Alexander Jobs kissing a woman beside his desk.The woman's arms were wrapped around his neck, and Alexander seemed in no hurry to let her go.
