I looked at my phone and saw a message alert - it was Alexander letting me know he was already waiting for me at the door. I grabbed my purse and floated downstairs on a cloud of happiness."Good morning, beautiful! Did you sleep well?" Alexander said after pulling me into his embrace and giving me a deliciously slow kiss on my lips."I slept divinely well, dreaming about my handsome and incredibly hot boyfriend," I replied with a silly smile after our kiss."I think that would be me," he said with a gorgeous smile. "And where's the little man? Aren't we dropping him off at daycare?"My heart soared seeing him ask about my son with such enthusiasm."No, Mel already took him. She's the most doting godmother in the world.""I think she'll have to learn to share that young man's attention with me because I think we became friends. He liked me, didn't he?" He said, looking at me anxiously for confirmation."Yes, he loved you!" I smiled and gave him a quick peck. I was so happy!When we arr

Two hours after leaving, Alexander returned looking disturbed. He passed by me, looking as if he'd seen the devil himself, and growled:"In my office, now, Catherine!"I froze at his tone. Patrick and Mariana were following him, and I heard them asking him to calm down. But Alexander ignored them. Confused, I got up and entered his office, with the other two following behind me and closing the door.I stopped when I saw his angry gaze fall on me, his furious voice saying things I couldn't even understand."How could you, Catherine! You came here like an innocent lamb, but you're nothing more than a wolf! You betrayed my trust in a way no one ever has. And after everything that happened between us. You're the biggest disappointment of my life!" he shouted at me, rage exuding from every pore."Alexander, what's going on? What are you talking about?" I asked, already feeling my throat tighten as tears started streaming down my face."Don't play innocent with me, not anymore!" he paced bac

I fell asleep and didn't even see Lygia arrive with Peter. I only woke up when Mel was sitting beside me on the bed, watching me. I opened my eyes and saw only one lamp lit. I sat up in bed and looked at my friend, feeling a deep sadness."What happened, honey? Lygia said you were lying down when she arrived with Peter. She came to see you, but you were sleeping, and she noticed you'd been crying. What's wrong? Had your first fight with Alexander? It'll pass," my friend spoke in such a calm voice that it made me feel peaceful."It won't pass, Mel. What happened was horrible!" I told her with tears in my eyes."Well, tell me about it, and we'll decide together if it was horrible. And if it was, I'll send Fred over there to kick Miller's ass," she said, trying to lighten the conversation."I'll tell you. But where's Peter?" I asked, realizing what time it was - he should have been home ages ago."Don't worry, Lygia's staying over tonight, and they're having a great time in the living roo

Alexander’s POV I sat in a dark room in my apartment. I couldn't look at my bed without remembering the incredible night I had with Catherine, feeling despair take over me knowing it had all been a huge lie. How could she do this to me? I was consumed by the pain of that woman's betrayal.Since that party years ago, the day my parents died, I hadn't gotten involved with anyone, saying I wouldn't fall in love after being abandoned by that woman. But then I let Catherine into my life so quickly. Actually, I didn't let her in, she simply arrived and occupied all the space. And she was the snake that struck and completely destroyed me.I was in heaven today and suddenly got dragged to hell. When the hacker called saying that only Patrick, Mari, and I should go because he already knew where the information had leaked from, I couldn't imagine it had been her, the woman I was falling in love with.When I read those emails, I felt like I'd been run over by a steamroller. The first one I could

Johnson’s POVI leaned back on the bed and lit a cigarette, blowing the smoke and watching it disappear. I smiled and said to the woman beside me:"Congratulations, darling, you were excellent, once again. I'll transfer some money to your account so you can buy something nice." I smiled, thinking about her husband who believed she was a saint. "I just don't know how your idiot husband doesn't suspect where your money comes from?"I looked at my mistress lying naked beside me. It wasn't the first time she had passed information and done little favors for me; we'd been lovers for years, and no one had ever suspected. She was deceitful, and I liked that about her. She laughed when I asked about her husband, and taking the cigarette from my hand, she took a drag and said:"My husband really is an idiot. He thinks everything I buy is fake and that I wear costume jewelry. He's as stupid as Miller, who can't see what's happening right under his nose. But I don't understand how such an idiot c

I feel completely lost, not knowing what to do. Mel left early, insisted on taking Peter to daycare, and Lygia insisted on spending the day with me. I thought it was great, she's a wonderful person who gave me lots of advice and told me that no hardship lasts forever.Mel left in the morning and told me not to do anything, saying she would talk to her father and we would decide what to do tonight. But I was uncomfortable with this, I was already imposing too much on the Larsons.Lygia and I had lunch together, and she told me about her children and grandchildren, none of whom lived in Paradise Port - they all lived too far away for her to see them every week. She told me how happy she was to be able to take care of Peter.In the afternoon, she went to the market and said she would pick up Peter afterward, telling me to rest, but I took the opportunity to call my parents. I was going to tell them what had happened and that I would be coming home.The intercom rang, and the doorman infor

The next day, we left early. When we arrived at the office, Mr. Martin called us into his room."Catherine, how are you? I spoke with Patrick, and he's worried. He filled me in on what happened, didn't go into details, but it seems Alexander was being an idiot.""Mr. Martin, I'm not sure if he was being an idiot, but I didn't do what I'm being accused of," I replied, already imagining he had changed his mind about hiring me."I'm sure you didn't, Catherine. I've known the Larsons for very long time, they wouldn't vouch for you if they weren't certain of your integrity! And if Oliver Larson thinks you're the most honest person on Earth, I'm certain you are." Henry Martin said, giving me a warm smile. "Unfortunately, I can't offer you a position as good as the one you had, but I need another person in the sales department. The salary is good, and you'll handle the work easily, so if you want it, the job is yours."I gave him a genuine smile, accepted the job, and thanked him for the oppo

Alexander's POVYesterday, I came to work with a terrible hangover and wasn't in the mood for anything. Mariana, Alan, Patrick, and Rick spent the day defending Catherine, saying they couldn't believe she would send those emails and betray me like that. They reprimanded me for not listening to her and were now waiting for the audit results to see what they would uncover.Mariana had gone to the finance department to get the documents that were supposedly being verified. When she got there, Johnson called me, outraged, spewing nonsense in my ears, but I was too tired to care. I just told him to hand everything over to Mariana if he didn't want to lose his job.Mariana collected the documents and took them to the auditors. I told Alan it was pointless since the documents were there and Johnson handed them over, Celeste hadn't leaked the information. Alan warned me that since he already had copies of everything, it would be best to compare them, and he would tell me today if everything ma

"Hey Mel, Henry called me. Do you know what for?" I asked my friend when I entered her office at the end of the day."I don't know, Cat. I didn't even know he called you. I'll let him know you're here." Melissa got up and went into the boss's office, then came back and gestured for me to go in."Catherine!" Henry greeted me with a huge smile. "First, let me say how happy I am that you and my friend have finally reconciled.""Thanks, Henry. I hope your friend doesn't mess things up with me again." I said with a smile."If he does, you know I'm here to help you kick his butt." Henry said firmly."Oh, right! Just like you did this time, spying on us and telling him everything." Melissa mocked him."Oh, Mel, I can't be too hard on him, he's my friend," Henry said like a teenager, making us burst into laughter. "But you can always count on me, Catherine.""Thanks, Henry, it's good to know that." I was sincere because Henry had really helped me a lot by giving me a job and supporting me when

Alexander’s POVI dropped Catherine off at Lynx World and headed to my company. We had a wonderful weekend. Her parents were great people and welcomed me so warmly that I felt like part of the family. That meant a lot to me. Sure, we had that unpleasant incident with her ex, and her cousin was just jealous. But overall, our weekend was amazing.She came back to me, and that filled my heart almost to bursting with happiness. And Peter made everything even more perfect. If my parents were alive, they would have been charmed by Catherine and loved Peter as if he were truly their grandson.Thinking about my parents still caused me infinite pain and longing, especially after learning that the accident that killed them might have been intentional - that knowledge was like a knife to my chest. I needed to find out the truth. Alan was taking care of everything, and until he had information, I would have to wait and control my anxiety. This waiting was making me restless.When I arrived at my c

I woke up in the arms of the love of my life. There's no better feeling in the world than being held by the one you love. I was lying with my head resting on Alexander's chest, our legs intertwined and his arms around me. We were naked; Alexander had prevented me from putting on a nightgown, saying he wanted to feel my skin against his, and it truly was the best sensation in the world being pressed against him without any barriers."Good morning, my angel." I felt his kiss on my head and looked up at him smiling."How can you wake up looking so handsome?" I asked, smiling like a fool as he pulled me in for a soft kiss on my lips. "Good morning, my love!""Mmm! I love that sound. Say it again," Alexander said playfully."What? That you wake up handsome? You're the most handsome man I've ever seen." I said with a huge smile."I like hearing that too, but I asked you to repeat the other thing," he insisted."Good morning?" I teased."Are you teasing me, my angel?""Just a little! My love!

I waited for the guys at the gate and got into the car before Alexander could get out to help me."What's wrong, angel?" Alexander asked after Fred drove off."My mother's sister made an unpleasant appearance. But I'll tell you later, I don't want to stress about it now. Good morning to you both." I forced a smile.Peter chatted the entire way, even telling Alexander how he stuck his tongue out at the "witch," which made everyone laugh.At Melissa's house, we were warmly welcomed. Her parents were crazy about Peter and kept insisting they wanted another grandchild, but Melissa wasn't interested in that yet.After lunch, Mr. Larson called Alexander and Fred to his office to discuss business. Melissa and I did the same thing with her mother that we did with mine, filling her in on all the details of our life in Paradise Port.When we said goodbye, Melissa left home with her suitcase ready since our flight was that evening. We were taking Peter for ice cream before going to my house to ge

After they left, I put my son to bed and went back to the living room to chat with my parents."Why didn't you tell us you had problems there, honey?" my father asked right away."Because I didn't want to worry you, and because I have a friend who's my guardian angel who helped me find another job just as good," I answered honestly."Alexander said you're now working for his friend, but that you'll go back to working with him," my father said."I haven't decided yet. We'll see," I replied."Cat, we just want you to be happy. I like this young man, he has good intentions, he's serious and responsible. He came here and was honest, owned up to his mistakes. He seems like a good man, and the way you look at him, you're in love," my father hadn't missed a thing."Yes, Dad. He is a great man and I am in love," I confirmed."Then don't get hung up on silly things," my mother said. "Forgiveness is good for you, understand that. Pride won't get you anywhere. Don't forget that.""I won't forget,

We finished shopping and returned. Melissa helped me with the bags and we entered the house calling for my parents. We were putting the bags on the counter when Peter came running out and I heard him shout:"Alexander! You came!""Of course I came, little buddy, I was missing you so much!" I heard Alexander's voice and my knees went weak.When I turned around, the two were in a tight hug, my mom with a huge smile, my dad with a surprised look, and Melissa standing open-mouthed watching Fred walk towards her."What does this mean, Fred?" She asked seriously without hugging her boyfriend."We couldn't stand being away from our girls. And especially from Peter." Fred answered naturally."But I didn't tell you where I was going?" Melissa was angry with her boyfriend."You and Catherine going away for the weekend together? There's only one place in the world where you two would go, Mel!" Fred said smugly.I couldn't speak. I was too shocked. My parents invited everyone to sit around the tab

The next morning, we woke up early. The aroma of coffee my mom was brewing in the kitchen filled every room in the house. Peter was euphoric, and my dad took him to the small barn to milk the cow. When they returned, my son had a tiny milk mustache and a blue enamel mug in his hand.We sat down and had breakfast while listening to the birds singing. The house was very spacious and comfortable. It had huge windows, and the fresh morning air flowed through them along with the sunlight.We went out for a walk, and the property was a good size. It was enough for a diverse orchard, a vegetable garden with all kinds of produce and greens, a barn with one cow, a pigpen with two pigs, and a chicken coop with many hens. Peter had fun collecting eggs with my mom.In front of the house, there was a garden full of colorful flowers and a small pond where a family of ducks was playing in the water. The house was flanked by a colonial-style porch, with hammocks hanging in each corner and wooden bench

On Friday, Melissa, Peter, and I caught a flight to Bellwood. When we arrived, Melissa's family driver was already waiting for us and drove me to my parents' farm, where they were expecting us. I said goodbye to my friend, and we agreed that she would come to see us the next day."Sweetie!" My mother came running to hug me, already in tears."Mom, I missed you so much!""And where's grandma's baby? Come here, my little darling!" My mother took Peter from my arms, and I took the opportunity to hug my father."My daughter, it's so wonderful to have you both home!""Thanks, Dad. It's really good to be here.""Let's go inside, it's already dark. Tomorrow you can explore the farm." My father was clearly excited about the farm.We went inside, and my mother already had dinner on the table. We sat down and had the meal together. How I missed being with them. Peter fell asleep in grandma's arms, who put him to bed and then joined my father and me in the living room."So, Catherine, how's life
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 92
Another week started and flew by. Alexander really didn't keep his distance - he kept sending messages, flowers, and afternoon snacks. What changed was that he called me every night and we'd chat for a while. He told me that after everything Mrs. Margaret revealed, the audit was moving faster, and they were working for a few hours every night at Patrick's house. But he hadn't told me what Mrs. Margaret said, only that she knew a lot but never thought it was important.Melissa established Tuesday as girls' night, so we went to the Social Club again and had dinner there. We always had plenty to talk about, and fun was guaranteed with that group. Samantha had started working with Alexander and was really enjoying the job, although she couldn't stand Celeste, so she had lots to tell us."Seriously, Cat, it's written 'lying, fake, gossiping troublemaker' on Celeste's forehead - how did you not see it?" Samantha asked."Cat always sees the best in people, Sam. I got tired of warning her abou
