Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 43
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

Alexander’s POVI returned to the office feeling like a caged animal. I was desperate; all I wanted was to run after Catherine and beg for her forgiveness. But I couldn't just do that - she was at work, at Martin's company, and I couldn't simply barge in there. That would be disrespectful, and she would hate me even more.But I wasn't going to wait until the end of the day. So I decided to go after her. I left the office, telling Celeste I wouldn't be back. I wanted to drag that snake out and kick her out of my building, but I couldn't do that either. I had to wait, wait... it was maddening.I went to Martin's company with a whirlwind of thoughts racing through my mind. But I would ask Henry for help to speak with Catherine without causing her any embarrassment."Good afternoon, Mr. Miller. How may I help you?" Martin's secretary was always very professional, even though she found it strange that I showed up there without an appointment in the middle of the workday."I'll handle this,

"Miss Catherine, Mr. Martin wants you to come to his office immediately," my new boss said, appearing at my cubicle. "You can go up now. Have you finished that list I gave you?"I looked at that short, stocky man with his round tortoiseshell glasses and smiled. He was quite a character, but he was very kind and would hum all day long in the office.I had been assigned to the commercial department, where the entire floor was open with cubicles arranged in groups of four. The only enclosed office belonged to my boss. It was a busy and colorful environment, filled with noise - everyone was talking all the time, either on the phone or to each other. I found it so relaxed and interesting that I thought I would adapt well here. I had even made a friend already, but now with Mr. Martin calling, I worried he might have changed his mind about hiring me.I looked up and handed some folders to my boss, confirming:"Yes, Mr. Maurice, everything is organized here with reports. Would you like me to

Alexander’s POVI was completely in shock when Henry handed me a glass of cognac."Drink this, it'll calm you down. And after you're calm, tell me what happened," Henry said very seriously and picked up the phone. "Maurice, I'm giving Ms. Catherine the rest of the day off. Thank you."Henry hung up the phone, sat down across from me, and drank with me. After three shots, I finally managed to say:"I screwed everything up, Henry. I ruined my only chance at happiness. I love this woman, and I messed it all up, made her hate me."Henry took another sip of cognac and spoke softly:"Since when are you a defeatist who gives up at the first closed door?"I looked at him as if five more heads had grown on his neck - he didn't seem to understand that Catherine hated me."I'm going to call Patrick later and the three of us are going to get drunk at my place," he said, standing up. "Give me your car keys."While I was handing him my car keys, Henry called Patrick, and we left the office and went

I was exhausted. The week had been chaotic, and I wasn't sleeping well, crying myself to sleep every night. Having talked to Alexander yesterday hadn't helped either; it had left me even more devastated."Good morning, friend! How are you?" Mel walked into the kitchen and held my face between her hands, examining me."I'm a wreck, Mel. The makeup is just hiding the dark circles. I'm feeling so tired!"We heard the intercom ring, and Mel went to answer it while I finished giving Peter his breakfast. I was distracted watching my little one; he was my greatest love, and just looking at him calmed my heart. I knew I would have the strength to move forward because of him. He looked at me with a beautiful big smile and those bright violet eyes, and my heart swelled with love."You're mommy's love, young man!" I said to him, and he clapped his hands and blew me a kiss. My smile grew wider."Cat, it's for you." Mel came from the door holding an enormous arrangement of red tulips.They were bea

I looked around at everyone in that room, not understanding anything. Besides me and my boss Mr. Maurice, there were Melissa, Mr. Martin, Alexander, Patrick, Rick, Mari, and Alan.What was this about? I looked at Mel, and she shrugged, just as clueless as I was. Mr. Martin pulled out a chair, gesturing for me to sit next to Alexander. Was he kidding?I was already suspecting this was just another one of Alexander's tricks to get to talk to me. Of course, he wouldn't buy the system. But I would be professional and do my best there; at least my boss could evaluate my performance."Catherine, please, I know you're an excellent professional and can handle this," Henry spoke as if he had read my mind. "I asked for your presence because you worked at Group Miller and are familiar with the problem they're facing now.""Of course, sir. I'll help in any way I can." I sat down and acted professionally.Mr. Maurice began the software presentation, and I added insights and opinions. We made a good

Samantha’s POVI saw Henry get out of bed, pick up the phone from the floor, and try to speak, but the call had already ended. He came to me and hugged me."Sam, what did you hear?" Henry asked softly."H-he, he laughed." I was trembling and crying."Who, Sam? Do you know who it was?""It was R-Romulus." I looked at him feeling panic tightening my throat."Sam, what did he say?" I noticed the concern in Henry's voice."Nothing. It was like always, the breathing, but then he laughed and I know his laugh. It's Romulus, Henry.""Calm down. I'm going to turn off your phone. Tomorrow I'll tell Flavian about this. Sam, I think we should change your number.""Yeah, you're right, that's better." I agreed, as I didn't want to hear from Romulus anymore."Good, I'll take care of it first thing tomorrow. Now, I'm going to put you to bed and make you some tea."Henry tucked me into bed, covered me, and gave me a kiss on the forehead. When he returned to the bedroom, he brought a tray with tea and b

Samantha’s POV"My goddess, I'm so glad you're here! I've been missing you like crazy," Henry said between kisses."I missed you too!" I nestled into his lap."How was your girls' night?""It was fantastic! We're planning to spend a weekend at Hebe's beach house.""We're going... just you girls or...?""All of us, handsome. I'm not spending the whole weekend away from you.""Hmm, I like that! So, are we getting married this weekend?""It's in a month, Henry.""Alright. But until then, how about we practice for the honeymoon?" Henry traced his nose along my neck. "I'm desperately missing losing myself in you.""Are you reading my mind?" He smiled."Come here, future wife. I'm taking you to bed." He helped me up and looked at Cinnamon. "Buddy, you're staying downstairs tonight." The dog looked at him as if he understood and let out a whimper. The scene made me laugh."I need to take a shower," I said when we reached the bedroom."Ah yes, a shower is an excellent idea." Henry sat me on th

Samantha’s POVThe weekend at my grandmother's house was more than perfect. I wasn't expecting Henry to propose, and he made the most beautiful proposal in the world. I confessed I was never the type of woman who dreamed about marriage, wedding dresses, and all those things, but now that I'm engaged, I was excited and eager."Oh my God, I'm engaged!" I said to myself in the closet, looking at the ring and band on my hand."Yes, Nightingale, we're engaged, and I want to set a date for our wedding." Henry hugged me from behind, making me lean back against his chest as he kissed the top of my head.I was so lost in my thoughts that I hadn't even noticed him coming in. He was ready for work, looking handsome in that charcoal suit that made his emerald green eyes stand out even more. I was so distracted that I was still in my robe."My handsome, how about a month from now?""Too far away," he complained, kissing my neck."I don't want to rush into things like what happened with Catherine.

Hebe’s POVI would like to know what goes through my brother's mind, because sometimes Henry completely lost focus and went downhill. I gave precise instructions - one dog, just one small dog - then I came back from a wonderful trip and got my kids back with two dogs, and Clara's dog was almost as big as her. I felt like sending both the dogs and the kids back to his house.Of course, he had a ready-made speech when I called him furiously questioning the two dogs. The worst part is that he convinced me - he always did, ever since we were kids it was like that, I did everything he wanted. However, my kids were two little troublemakers and I knew it. They were two little rascals who manipulated their uncle however they wanted, and inevitably, I felt manipulated by extension, because after Henry gave in to their wishes, he made me give in to his own desire to please his niece and nephew.I had no choice but to take the little troublemakers back with two dogs. To my surprise, the small one

Henry’s POVI coordinated with Clara to keep Sam away from the backyard, keeping her busy with knitting alongside her and her grandmother. I asked Enzo to help with the plans I'd made with Pearl and Joaquin for Samantha's surprise. We would set up the dinner table in the backyard, which was full of flowers and beautifully maintained.The hours flew by, and we managed to get everything ready. Pearl told me that when Sam was a child, she used to play a lot in this backyard and always loved it here, so it was perfect for what I wanted to do.I talked with Elenice, since I was in her house, and she became emotional about what I wanted to do. She secretly called me to her room and gave me something very special to add to my surprise. Her gesture touched me deeply.That evening, dinner was served in the backyard. Elenice had two housekeepers who had put great effort into everything, and they were excellent cooks. We had dinner amid lively conversation and laughter. Then, before dessert, I pr

Henry’s POVAfter what happened at the mall with Enzo, I scheduled a meeting with my mother and Hebe. I needed to let them both know about the situation before traveling. Of course, Hebe was furious - she's a lioness mother, and after discovering Reynold's true colors, she didn't want him anywhere near the children.I took the opportunity to tell them about the surprise I was preparing for Samantha. I was anxious and worried. My mother and Hebe tried to calm me down, saying that Sam would love it.The rest of the week flew by, and early Saturday morning, we traveled to Sam's grandmother's house in the countryside, a bit far from our city. Samantha was excited and very animated. We arrived at her grandmother's house at lunchtime. Sam went in like a child, running through the house until she found her grandmother in the kitchen and wrapped her in a long hug."Grandmaaa!" Samantha was overjoyed."Sassy, my dear, I've missed you so much!" The petite lady with gentle eyes hugged Samantha."

Enzo’s POV"Sweetie, are you really going to spend the weekend away from me?" Luna was hugging my waist with a sad face."Baby doll, it's just one weekend. Besides, your parents are taking you to the farm. I'm just going to meet aunt Sam's grandmother and I'll be back quickly," I explained to Luna once again."Oh my god, you two are so mushy!" Ivy made a face at us."That's because we're in love, sis," Luna told her sister."Oh, sure!" Ivy smiled.We were at the mall waiting for aunt Sam and uncle Henry. I invited Luna to come with me since we wouldn't see each other over the weekend, and Ivy tagged along because she wanted to talk to aunt Sam."Ivy, what do you want to talk to aunt Sam about?" I was curious about that."I'm not telling you. I know your big mouth, Enzo!" As if I needed this - my Clara also pointing out my little flaws. "I haven't forgotten that you told my mom about Vincent.""In my defense, I didn't know it was a secret. Besides, your mom just asked if you had met any

Henry’s POVI was extremely stressed out. Samantha had gone through a horrible situation yesterday just because she left the security guard outside the store. Reynold had crossed the line, and I wasn't going to let that slide.I called Flavian, who suggested that Sam should file a complaint, but she was very shaken up, barely slept, and insisted on going to work, making me even more worried.I arrived at the office in a terrible mood. I needed to deal with this thorn in my side that was Reynold. Once again, he dared to lay hands on Samantha, but this wouldn't go unpunished.My thoughts were completely focused on Samantha, and I was already too stressed and worried. I grabbed my jacket and left the office.I reached the garage, and as I approached my car, I couldn't believe the nerve of the person waiting for me. She was wearing an extremely short and vulgar dress."Nicole, get off my car. I'm in a hurry," I said immediately, as I wasn't in the mood to hear anything from this wretched w

Samantha’s POVFor the past week, I was woken up every night in the middle of the night by my phone ringing, and when I answered, no one would say anything on the other end. The only thing I could hear was heavy breathing, as if the person on the other end was panting, and it left me distressed.This was getting on my nerves. I was anxious, nervous, and wasn't sleeping well. I already had horrible dark circles under my eyes and was exhausted."Sam... Sam!" Henry's voice snapped me out of my thoughts."Huh?! What is it, honey?" I sighed."Sam, you need to sleep." Henry was visibly upset. "We should change your phone number.""That's not necessary. This will stop." I didn't want to change the number I'd had for so long."Then start turning off your phone at night. If anyone needs to reach you, they can call me.""That's a good idea. I'll do that. But now, I need to get to work." I stood up as I spoke."Stay home today and rest. I'm sure Alexander won't mind.""Henry, I want to go to work
