I returned to my desk near the end of the workday. I finished up my daily tasks and heard Rick come in singing "Oh! Pretty Woman.""Rick, you'd make it big as a singer," I smiled at him."Maybe, maybe, but I like the vibe in this office. Celeste told me everything - I was on the third floor making copies. Are you okay?" he looked at me, waiting for an answer."Yes, I am. Thanks.""Well then, my friend, I'm heading out. My wife called, she got home early and said she has a surprise waiting for me. I love her surprises, I can't wait!""Look at you, lucky guy. Have a great night!""Thanks. I'll tell you what she was up to at lunch tomorrow. Oh, should we plan something for the weekend? I told her about you and she's excited to meet you.""That would be great! Can I bring my friend?""Of course you can. See you tomorrow, pretty woman!"I smiled at the nickname he gave me and then heard right behind me, close to my ear:"Ah, Miss Vergara, what am I going to do with you? My friend whistles a

I entered the house with my boss's last words echoing in my mind. He would keep teasing me. What did he really want from me? Today had been a roller coaster. Would things ever settle down in that office and become normal?I went to check on my son, who was already sleeping like an angel, clutching his teddy bear. I thought about asking Mel if we could spend Sunday at the park with him - that would be nice. I passed by my friend's room, who was also asleep, and grabbed the baby monitor.I took a shower to wash away all the day's stress, fell into bed, and drifted off to sleep thinking about my boss. I must be going crazy.I woke up and got my little one ready to drop him off at daycare before heading out. He always woke up in such a good mood, smiling at me and chattering about how much he loved his school. While I was getting him dressed, he told me a thousand things about everything he was discovering. I smiled like a fool - it was so wonderful to see my son growing up happy.I got my

Everyone arrived, and my boss told me to lock my office door and close his office door when I entered. We sat on the sofas, and Alexander began."Here's the thing - you four are the only people I trust right now, so this meeting's topic is confidential, and no one else should know about it. Six months ago, I noticed some small inconsistencies between the financial reports, accounting, and commercial reports. So Patrick and I started looking more carefully. With the last financial report, we were certain something was wrong when we cross-referenced the data. I think someone is stealing from the company."I felt uneasy; this was very serious. I looked at Rick, who was as focused as I was. Then Patrick spoke:"Yeah, folks, but it's not just money being diverted - they're diverting other resources too. Plus, some clients are reducing their business frequency with us, and some have simply terminated their contracts.""Then guys, this is even more serious, because if the company is under dif

I heard my boss calling and turned around, thinking he was going to give me more work."Yes, Mr. Miller?""Close the door, please, and come here."I closed the door, went back, and stood in front of him. He was sitting on that same couch that reminded me of insane things.Alexander had a somewhat desolate posture, with his elbows resting on his knees and his head down. I wanted to run my hands through his hair and tell him everything would be okay, but I didn't.Every time he touched me, he completely took me away from reason. His simple touch, no matter how superficial, made my skin burn and my body beg for him. What this man caused in me was inexplicable.He stood up in front of me and pulled me by the waist into his embrace. It was calm, gentle, and affectionate. It was different from all the interactions we'd had until now, but at the same time, it was a familiar sensation that warmed my heart.I felt him place a warm kiss on my right shoulder before speaking in my ear:"I don't kn

Alexander’s POV During the ride, I noticed that Catherine was very tense and worried. Whatever it was had changed my assistant's mood.When we arrived, she jumped out of the car running, and I followed right behind her. She looked at me as if wanting to ask what I was doing, and I hurried to answer:"I'll go with you. I don't know what the emergency is, but you might need help."She didn't say anything, just nodded. When we entered her apartment, a lady came to meet us."Catherine, I'm so glad you're here, I was about to call you," the woman said worriedly."Where is he, Lygia?" Catherine asked anxiously."He's in the bedroom, and his fever's gotten worse. I was just getting him some water," the woman replied while I wondered who the hell was 'he.'Catherine rushed down the hallway, and I couldn't help but follow. When I entered the bedroom, I saw her pick up a child and say sweetly:"It's okay, my love. Mommy's here."Mommy? She's a mom? My head was spinning as I watched the scene. H
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 28
Alexander’s POV I couldn't sleep and spent the night pacing around my apartment. At five in the morning, I went down to the building's gym, needing to release all the tension. I spent the next hour kicking and punching a punching bag. By seven, I was already at the company.I took the opportunity to call Alberto Alencar. I knew him and was aware that he was the type of man who woke up early and started working very early, so I didn't mind the hour. We talked for a good while, and I briefly explained what was happening and that looking for him was Catherine's suggestion. He was very happy to hear her name, saying she had been a valuable resource for him and her insight was crucial in finding evidence.After speaking with Alencar, I received a message from my assistant asking if she could be late, as she needed to wait for the babysitter to arrive since her son couldn't go to daycare. I replied immediately:"Catherine, stay home with your son today."The phone screen quickly lit up with

Alexander’s POV After everyone left my office, I took the opportunity to make a few more calls and handle some paperwork. The morning flew by, and soon Patrick showed up, dragging me out for lunch.When we returned, I decided to stop by the bakery, thinking I'd brighten my assistant's day a bit. I was burning with curiosity about her son's father, but I could wait until she was less tense to tell me.When I got back to the office, she was already at her desk working. I asked about her son, and with a big smile, she said he was doing well and chatty as always. I smiled and went to my office.Near the end of the day, I went to the door and called my assistant. When she came in, I locked the door. Her eyes widened at me, and I told her to sit on the couch. I had many questions for her, but I'd decided to save them for tomorrow, at home - it would be less formal. She was already quite overwhelmed, and my idea was to ease her tension a bit.When she sat down and crossed her legs, I offere
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 30
Alexander’s POV I sat in my chair, answered on speakerphone, and heard the shrill voice:"Alexander, what the hell is this about renovating the finance floor without my authorization?""Lower your voice, Johnson. I'm not your little bitch for you to yell at - I'm your boss. And I don't need your authorization to do whatever I want in my company!""This is disrespectful! I had just left the building when I got a message from Mariana saying that starting Monday, finance will operate on the sixteenth floor, on the same floor as marketing. It's completely absurd for finance to share a floor with another department, especially marketing! I tried to go back, but the elevator won't stop on our floor. What the fuck is going on?""Exactly what the message says is happening. The finance floor will undergo renovation. Follow the instructions sent in the email. Starting Monday, you'll work on the sixteenth floor. Finance and marketing will share the floor temporarily - we don't have another empty

It didn't take long for Lygia to enter, pulling Peter by his little hand. When he saw Alexander, he let go and ran towards him."Alexandaaa!" Peter stretched out his little arms, and Alexander crouched down, picking him up."Peter. My boy." Alexander was crying, overwhelmed with emotion from having his son in his arms. I looked around, and everyone was crying, including me."Alexanda, I missed you. You didn't come to play with me anymore," Peter complained."Oh, my boy, I'm dying of missing you too." Alexander spoke as they hugged each other tightly."Hi, Mommy." Peter turned to me. "Uncle Patrick sent for us.""That's right. And aren't you going to say hi to everyone?" I asked him."Ah, Mommy, I missed Alexanda so much!" He said, resting his little head on Alexander's shoulder, who couldn't stop crying. "Hi, everyone!" Peter waved and looked around, greeting everyone at once. "Why are you crying, Alexanda?""Because I'm so happy to see you," Alexander could barely speak. "Sorry, every

Alexander’s POV"What's going on?" I heard Catherine's voice and went to her. She had woken up because of all the commotion."My angel, I'll tell you later. Fred, please take Cat to the library," I asked Fred, knowing he would protect her."No, I want to know what's happening," Catherine insisted."Oh, so this is the beggar you fell in love with?" Liz started saying. "I heard you got involved with some nobody. But honey, don't fool yourself, because he loves me!""Are you crazy, Liz? Whatever we had ended a long time ago.""I don't think so, Alex. You had me every way possible in New York last week!" Liz taunted."You street trash, I'm going to mess up that cynical face of yours so bad that no surgeon will be able to fix it this time." Melissa went crazy, grabbing Liz by the hair again. The chaos was set."ENOUGH!" We heard Catherine's shout. "Mel, let go of that bitch."Melissa released her and looked at her friend. Catherine stood up, adjusted her dress and hair, and walked toward Li
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 151
Alexander’s POVAfter everything that happened today, all I wanted is to go home and see my son. “My son! Peter is my son!” But because of the medication, Catherine passed out on Patrick's couch. She didn't want to go to one of the bedrooms, said she wanted to stay close to everyone, so I sat down and put her head in my lap. She fell asleep with my fingers in her hair.Dr. Molina told us to wait until she wakes up before leaving, gave me lots of information about her pregnancy and many details about Peter's pregnancy, which he also monitored. After talking for a long time, he said goodbye and left. Alan took the cue and left too, and Mari ended the video call."So, father of the year, how are you feeling?" Patrick asked excitedly. "Because I'm going to end Melissa and Fred's reign and become the most doting uncle in the world.""Keep dreaming, Patrick! You might outdo Fred, but me, darling? Impossible!" Melissa said, making everyone laugh."Patrick, I don't even have the right words to

Sam rushed into my office and said:"Cat, we need to go. Patrick called and told us to hurry to his house. Something's going on, everyone's there.""This is all so strange! I thought Patrick and Alan were acting weird," I commented."I noticed that too. But let's go, he said it's urgent and the driver is waiting for us in the garage."I grabbed my purse and left with Sam. Dennis was behind us and seemed even tenser than usual. He put us in the car and got in the front seat, which was unusual.When we left the building's parking lot, I looked out the window and saw that woman, Liz, at the building entrance. A chill ran through my entire body. What was happening?When we arrived at Patrick's house, I was shocked. Even the girls were there. Even Mari via video conference. And it seemed like everyone was crying. My head was spinning; in just a few seconds, I thought of the most terrible things, felt my knees weaken, and passed out.When I came to, I was lying on the couch, and Alexander wa

Alexander’s POVPatrick was acting very strange. He seemed distressed. When we arrived at his house, besides us and Alan, Henry and Fred were also there. How weird."What's going on?" I said, starting to get nervous."Sit down," Patrick said, and I sat. "Remember when we fired Cat, I asked my friend from the police department to investigate her?""Yes. But that doesn't matter anymore," I said, shrugging."No, it wouldn't," Patrick was very nervous. "She really is an incredible person, very correct and honest. But he discovered something." He looked at Fred. "He found out who Peter's father is.""No way? Seriously?" Fred was surprised. "Man, I never spoke to Cat or Mel, but I tried to find this guy when Cat got pregnant and couldn't. Who is it?""Hold on," Patrick said. "Almost at the same time, Alan came to my office with the report about the investigation of the woman you've been looking for all this time, Alexander. He found her."I looked at Patrick, unable to decide if I was happy
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 148
Patrick’s POVAlexander was euphoric. Yesterday at the end of the day, Rick and I convinced him to get rid of Liz before talking to Cat. Liz had been calling him persistently, and we thought it would be a problem. Rick told him to resolve it before causing Catherine any more suffering. In the end, he agreed.Rick's sisters said they would have the answer he wanted by the end of today, as it was the day Liz's mother would be at the salon. So we had to wait. Today I had a lot of work piled up, so the day would pass quickly.When I saw Cat sitting at her desk, I was very happy; she seemed much better. I exchanged a few quick words with her and went to my office. Soon the phone rang. Samantha told me it was Dr. Flavian Moreno, and asked to put the call through."Flavian, my friend, how are you?""Hi, Patrick. I'm a bit embarrassed, man, the job you asked for took longer than I expected. The lady is very discreet.""Man, I had completely forgotten about that. In the end, we discovered she w

I took yesterday off, and today I was ready for battle. I had rested, thought a lot, and put my head in order. I would go to work and talk to Alexander. I found it strange that he hadn't reached out to me yet.I felt somewhat insecure, wondering if he had forgotten about me. That woman who kissed him in the reception area, could she be the woman he was looking for? If so, Virginia and Patrick were wrong, and Alexander had already forgotten me. Thinking about this made me sad. I needed to know.When Rick arrived, I called him for coffee in the break room. He would know the answers."Pretty woman, how are you?" Rick asked, examining my face."I'm fine, Rick, thanks for taking me home. I passed out before getting there, sorry.""Don't mention it, Cat. That's what friends are for. It was my pleasure to put you to bed." He said, making me laugh at his double entendre."Thank you anyway. But there's something I want you to answer.""Sure, what do you want to know?""Who's that woman?" Rick s
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 146
Alexander’s POVWhen we returned to my office, I was boiling with anger. We told Rick everything Jacqueline had told us at the coffee shop."Now, Rick, I want you to officially notify all our business partners, clients, suppliers, and every place we frequent that Celeste is no longer part of our company. And inform them that she's been trafficking corporate information and has contacts in all of them, and to maintain our partnership, I want them to investigate." I gave Rick his instructions, and he started working on it immediately."My God, this is like a cancer spread everywhere." Patrick was as shocked as I was."Oh, and call the Social Club and tell them I want Leila out today," I added."Alexander, when you were dating that slut Liz, she and Celeste got along really well, right?" Rick asked."Yeah, later Celeste said she was disappointed in Liz, that she never imagined it and never wanted to see her again. Why?""Because I'm starting to think your reunion with Liz wasn't a coincid

Alexander’s POVI called the secretary and arranged to meet her during lunch at a café near the clinic. When we arrived, she was already seated at a table in the back."Good afternoon, Mr. Miller. Mr. Guzman. How are you?" She greeted us very formally."Wait, you know me?" Patrick asked, surprised."I work weekends at the Social Club casino." She said somewhat awkwardly. "And you both tip really well. I'm Jacqueline.""Man, that's right! I even hit on you once..." Patrick recognized her and burst out laughing. "But without the makeup, with your hair tied back and glasses, you look so different.""Yes." Jacqueline agreed uncomfortably. "Thank you for calling, Mr. Miller.""Look, Jacqueline, I'll admit when you gave me your number, I thought you were hitting on me. But now, I'm curious." I said, sitting down."Mr. Miller, I work at the clinic because I need the salary, but honestly, Dr. Vale is a man without scruples, and I think what they're doing to you is absurd. Especially since I've
