Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 25
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

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

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

I got home after a long day, and my parents were waiting for me in the living room."Catherine, sit down. We need to talk," my father said, looking quite agitated."What's going on, Dad?" I asked tiredly. I had worked all day, gone to college at night, and upon getting home, all I wanted was to take a shower and crash into bed. But that wasn't possible."Catherine, your cousin's wedding invitation has arrived," my mother said."That little tramp is not my cousin!" I snapped, already getting angry."Catherine, she is your cousin," my mother insisted. "You need to stop this childish behavior. Melissa already hit her and caused a scene here at home. Enough! She's my sister's daughter, which makes her your cousin.""I'm sorry, Mom, but she means nothing to me," I tried to stay calm. "She slept with my boyfriend in my bed. That's not something she should do."I had been dating Claude for four years; he was my first boyfriend, and I found him in my bed, in my room, having sex with Kelly, my

There was no way out - my friend dragged me to the ball. As soon as we got in, Mel pulled us to the bar and whispered in my ear:"It's an open bar tonight, so you're going to drink until all that sadness washes away!" Mel handed me two tequila shots while holding two more in her hands. "Let's down these!" We knocked back the tequila, and Fred was already handing each of us a cosmopolitan.Melissa dragged me to the dance floor, and I was actually having fun. When a slow song started playing, Fred and Mel began slow dancing together. I took that as my cue to head to the buffet, but I didn't make it there. I felt someone grab my hand, and when I turned around, there was a man in a black mask smiling at me - and what a smile! He kissed my hand and pulled me close, whispering in my ear with a husky voice:"Surely the most beautiful woman in the room won't deny me a dance, will she?""And why not? Let's dance," I smiled back at him.It was impossible to resist that seductive husky voice and

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

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

Patrick handed me a glass of water, which I took with trembling hands. It wasn't until Alexander ran his fingers across my face that I realized I was crying."Easy, Catherine. He has no power to hurt you. Don't be afraid, you won't lose your job because of that idiot." My boss spoke softly while rubbing my back to calm me down."That's right, Cat. Don't pay any attention to Johnson, he's a jerk. You're a strong woman, don't let him intimidate you," Patrick said, offering his support."Since when do you take the liberty of using nicknames with my assistant?""Since we became friends. And don't be a jerk of a boss yourself!"I laughed at their banter, and my boss stood up, holding my chin to make me look at him."Not a jerk, but maybe a bit of a scoundrel," he said with a wink and a smile. Why did this idiot have to be so handsome!"Oh my God, you two are avoiding the inevitable!" Patrick said with a grin. "But Cat, I was just telling your boss that I've made reservations for our dinner
