During the game, Levy was gentle and attentive to me the whole time, even with Alexander practically growling at him. He softly touched my hands, explained the game in my ear, and I gave him plenty of attention. Alexander was getting increasingly grumpy."So ladies, where do you want to have dinner today?" Angel asked, quickly glancing at his cards before fixing his eyes on Melissa."How about a private room at Le Soufflé?" Leonard suggested enthusiastically. "Have you been there, Tess? The food is delicious.""I've heard of it, but never been. It's hard to get a reservation there," Tess replied, showing interest, which made Rick very angry."It's not hard for Leonard, his uncle owns the place," Michael commented. "If everyone agrees, I think it's a great choice. The restaurant is very pleasant and the food is delicious. It's worthy of these beautiful women!" he said, winking at Samantha. Henry was sweating nervously."Well, then it's settled. But you'll have to drive us home afterward

The weekend had been intense, and I started the week already tired. But I had decided to try to forgive Alexander. The girls had plans; according to them, he needed to suffer a bit more before I took him back, so he would learn his lesson and not hurt me again.I arrived at the office and went to my desk. The place was already bustling with activity. I liked this job - it was easy-going, fun, with a great team, though it wasn't in my field. I had worked so hard in college, and now it seemed my degree would just collect dust. That made me feel a bit melancholic. But I had a son to raise, so I couldn't waste time feeling sorry for myself.While turning on my computer, I saw a coffee mug land on my desk. I looked up to see Virginia's huge smile directed at me."Cat, aren't you ashamed of being so pretty?" I smiled at her comment. "The guys in the department are drooling over you. My brother is also smitten with you, and if I didn't know you were in love with Alexander, I'd totally support

Alexander’s POVPatrick and I ran into Fred as we entered the Lynx World building. We had all had lunch together today, along with Henry and Rick. The girls had been shocked by the flower arrangements we'd sent.At first, I thought it was too over-the-top and didn't want to send them, but Patrick and Henry convinced me with the idea that it was so excessive that the girls would call us to complain, giving us an opportunity to pick them up from work and spend time with them. Rick and Fred liked the idea too, so we went ahead with this extravagant gesture.When Patrick and I reached the girls' floor and approached their desks, I realized just how massive the arrangements really were. They had stacked several books in the corner of their desks to create a sort of pedestal for the arrangements, just so they could see their computer screens.Looking at that scene, it was as if they were working under trees. It was truly enormous. I glanced at Patrick, and we had to stifle our laughter."How

Alexander’s POVHalf an hour later, I was at Patrick's house, furious with myself for letting this company fraud situation go so far that it had affected my relationship with the woman I love, and equally angry about having to leave Catherine for a meeting."Sorry for messing up your plans, Alexander, but we couldn't wait. We need to decide quickly how to act," Alan said while greeting me."It's okay, Alan, I just want this all to end, kick these traitors out of my company, and get my Catherine back," I said wearily. "But what's so urgent?""Well, you already know Leda, right?" Alan asked."Yes, she was placed as a coffee lady along with Mrs. Margaret on the executive floor," I said. "Oh no, don't tell me Mrs. Margaret is involved in this mess?""No, Alexander, fortunately, the other employees with access to the executive floor are highly trustworthy, we've tested them all," Alan reassured me. "But as it happens, Leda and Mrs. Margaret get along very well, and as we suspected, Mrs. Mar

Alexander’s POVMargaret had just started to air the dirty laundry, as they say, and she hadn't even gotten to the worst part yet."I found out a long time ago that Celeste and Johnson are having an affair," she said. When I heard this, my jaw dropped to the floor. "They've been carrying on this indecency for about ten years now. I discovered it by accident one day when I caught them making out in the fire escape. I thought it was horrible, they're both married. But it wasn't my business, it's their private life. Though I always catch them making out or her calling him. They don't know that I know, they've never seen me, and well, I'm just the coffee lady, I'm invisible, right?""Not to me, Margaret, and not to Patrick and Mari either, you know that." I held her hand."Yes, I know, my boy. I changed your diapers!" She smiled. "Catherine and Rick treat me very well too. And your parents were wonderful people, they always showed me respect and consideration, they didn't deserve to die in
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 77
Alexander’s POVI was shocked by everything Mrs. Margaret had already told, but she kept talking, and with each new revelation, I became even more horrified by the things happening right under my nose that I hadn't noticed."You know those detectives you hired to look for a young woman?" she asked, and I nodded. "Well, I got curious because I saw them all whispering with Celeste when they came to see you. The last one, I saw him one day with Johnson and Celeste at that tiny coffee shop near the office. I'm friends with the owner and I always go there. I only heard Johnson saying he was very satisfied with his service, but I had seen you telling Patrick that he hadn't discovered anything and said it was impossible to find the woman, so how could he be satisfied?"My God, Mrs. Margaret was a bombshell! She knew too much and had answers to many questions. This conversation would take hours! I needed some air and to let Catherine know I wouldn't be returning to her house. I asked them to w

Melissa, Virginia, and I went to the mall to meet Tess and Sam, who had told us that the store where she worked had received several beautiful dresses. So we arranged to meet up, check out the dresses, and grab something to eat."Girls! I'm so glad you're here!" Samantha greeted us with a huge smile on her face."Oh girl, I was dying to come here because those dresses they wore on Saturday were absolutely stunning!" Virginia spoke with her usual enthusiasm."Sam, we need some scandalous little dresses to drive our men crazy," Tess chimed in, making us laugh."I've already picked out some amazing pieces and matching shoes," Samantha was all excited."You could share the customers, you know, Samantha," we heard a woman speak from the cash register."No, I can't, Cybele," Samantha replied impatiently. Cybele was the store's cashier, and Sam had caught her ex-boyfriend with her."And we all want to be helped by Samantha, not anyone else," Melissa said with a stern face.We sat down and Sam
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 79
We left the store and the guys took us to the restaurant on the third floor. It was indeed very nice and pleasant."Oh my gosh, guys, I don't even know how to thank you! Just with what you bought, I've already hit my monthly target. Thank you!""Don't mention it, Sam. The dresses are wonderful and we love them," Melissa assured her."Actually, Sam, we should be thanking you for making our women look so stunning," Patrick smiled, looking at Virginia."Sam, do you like working at the store?" Alexander asked."I do like it, but it's not what I want to do forever. It's exhausting, not all customers are as amazing as these girls, and the schedule with working weekends and holidays isn't exactly ideal," Samantha replied."Would you like to come work with me?" Alexander said, and we all looked at him in surprise. It would be wonderful for Sam to work at Group Miller."Alexander, thank you, I know you're offering me a job at Henry's request, but I won't accept it. You don't have to do this fav

"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
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 99
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
