Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 8
After work, Mel was waiting for me at the door, with Peter settled in his car seat in the back. We had planned to go to the mall to buy the things he would need for daycare."Bestie! How was your first day? Tell me everything!" She said cheerfully with a huge smile."Mel, I think I'll have to call your uncle and ask for my job back," I said somewhat sadly. She looked at me in shock. "But first, tell me about your interview.""No way, Catherine! Did you manage to get fired on your first day? Tell me everything, then I'll talk about my interview."I smiled and told her everything. By the time she turned off the truck in the mall parking lot, she was laughing hysterically at my situation."Cat, only you could get into an argument like that with the boss. You know he's super young, right?!"I looked at her like I'd just seen a unicorn and asked:"What do you mean young?""Oh Cat, didn't you research your boss on the internet?""No, Mel, I went on the company website and read everything, bu

"Good morning, Catherine. How are you?" Mariana walked into the office with a smile, putting her bag aside before looking at me."Good morning, Ms. Mariana. I'm fine, how are you?" I was standing, sorting some documents, and when I turned around, I saw her wearing the same expression as Mel and the store clerk. I was wearing my dress, my new shoes, and that indecent lingerie that Mel had bought for me."Catherine Vergara, you look like you just stepped out of a magazine! Girl, you look stunning in that dress.""Thank you, ma'am," I replied, feeling somewhat embarrassed and wondering if I'd overdone it. But she quickly cleared my doubts."You know, you're going to make quite an impression on the boss. He arrives today. I was actually surprised because they weren't supposed to return until Friday, but it seems Alexander decided to speed things up and finish everything from here. Oh, and please stop calling me ma'am." I smiled at her request but didn't mention that I already knew the boss
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 10
Alexander’s POV When I stopped at the door and looked at the woman leaning over the filing cabinet with her back to the door, my eyes went straight to those legs and landed on that sexy pair of shoes. And what shoes! Those heels were killer - I should ban them from the office. Then I heard Patrick's whistle. She stood up immediately, and I could see she had a stunning figure! Her waist-length black hair was partially tied back and gleamed beautifully. Of course he started drooling over her right away - Patrick's an incorrigible ladies' man. I gave him a stern look, which only made his smile wider when he noticed my displeasure.But when that woman turned around, Patrick's eyes grew even bigger. She was incredibly beautiful, with bright, strikingly green eyes. I just wanted to get my friend out of there immediately and forbid him from even looking at her. She was definitely my new assistant, and there was no way I was going to let Patrick work his charm on her. But of course, he didn't

Alexander’s POV Suddenly, that unbearable harpy Anna Caroline, who had witnessed the entire scene right in front of us, started speaking almost with a shout:"What do you think you're doing, you little hussy? Get your hands off Alex, you opportunist!"Without releasing my grip on my assistant's waist, I whispered in her ear:"Don't you dare move away?" Of course, she had felt my arousal, but no one else needed to witness that. I looked at the harpy with murderous eyes and said:"Lower your voice, Anna Caroline, and apologize to Miss Catherine immediately.""What's this, Alex! I'm just putting this nobody in her place. She's openly throwing herself at you. Besides, she blocked the door and wouldn't let me in to see you, saying I needed to be announced. That's ridiculous! Since when do I need to be announced? Tell her who I am and put her in her place. You need to reprimand her, Alex. I think you should even fire her." Anna Caroline's eyes were crackling with hatred."Anna Caroline, apo
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 12
I sank into my chair in my office, my legs feeling like jelly. I didn't know how I managed to keep my composure as if nothing major had happened. What an unpleasant woman that Anna Caroline was. But I never expected things to unfold that way. Wow, when he wrapped his arm around my waist to keep me from falling and pulled me against his chest, I was completely caught off guard. Of course, I felt the hardness of his impressive member against my back, and that definitely woke me up. But when he whispered in my ear not to move away, a warmth spread through my body, leaving me wet and burning down there – something I hadn't felt in ages, not since that dance. And my boss was rock hard, pressing against my back... oh God, I didn't know if this job was going to last."Catherine, you're in deep trouble!" I said to myself.I grabbed my phone and texted Mel - I needed to tell her about meeting the boss. I typed: "Met my boss today." She replied almost immediately: "Bet he grabbed you in the offi

After my boss shared all the information about his trip, Mariana and I returned to our office to continue working. The rest of the workday went by without incident. The day passed quickly, and we were grabbing our bags to leave when my boss's door opened just as Patrick appeared in my office."Time to rest, girls!" Patrick said with that huge smile that seemed permanently fixed on his face. "Alexander and I are going to dinner at Giorgio's, and I insist on inviting the two most beautiful women in this company to join us."Giorgio's was an extremely expensive Italian restaurant in the city. Mel and I had already planned to go there over the weekend after hearing they served the best gnocchi and had delicious house-made wine we wanted to try. Mel had convinced me that I needed to get used to these kinds of places now, since I'd likely have to attend business lunches or dinners."Oh, what a shame, Patrick! We already have plans and people waiting for us. Maybe another time," Mariana said,
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 14
I told Marina about what happened with my son's father, how that experience was incredible and changed my life, and how after that I decided never to get involved with anyone again. She looked at me smiling, but suddenly remembered something that wiped the smile off her face and said:"You sound just like Alexander. He also closed himself off to love. He had met a girl and was with her when he received the news of his parents' death. He was devastated. When he tried to find her again, she had vanished into thin air. He tried to find her but couldn't, and he still hasn't gotten over it.""Mari, how did his parents die?" I asked curiously."They died in a helicopter accident while returning from a party. Alexander's father received some urgent company information and had to return quickly. Alexander stayed at the party with the girl, and his parents couldn't find him to say goodbye, so they left a message with Patrick's parents. But at the party itself, Alex received the news of his pare
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 15
Alexander’s POV I had been in a bad mood since leaving the office. Patrick knew it and didn't miss the chance to needle me:"So, bro, do you think Catherine has a boyfriend? Because the way Mari talked about it, you know?!""And what if she does, Patrick? I already told you not to touch her." I said, rubbing my face with both hands."I won't touch her, but her boss is very interested, and by the way, he already touched her today." I snorted and turned to him."What are you talking about?""Man, I know you too well! You were very interested in Catherine. And I noticed how you grabbed her waist and didn't let go, and then closed the door staying with her in your office. When I came back, I felt some tension between you two, and I couldn't help but notice how you looked at her when talking about her backside. So, man, are you going to tell me what happened in that room, or do I have to imagine you taking your assistant to the couch?""Man, you're such an idiot!" But I couldn't hide my sm

Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 165
Alexander’s POVI was a bundle of nerves waiting for any news. The police officers at the office had discovered the cell tower location and mapped out a search perimeter. Teams were already on their way."Melissa..." Fred's mother called on the phone."Hi, Mrs. Teresa.""The police arrived with two dogs. They're going in.""Thank God they're here!" I whispered."Teresa, get out of there now.""No way, I'm safe where I am, I'll wait," Fred's mother insisted."Mom, how can you see anything at this time of night?" Fred asked."While I was waiting by the salon door, I had Maria bring me your binoculars. I like them, you better buy another pair because I'm keeping these - they have night vision." Fred's mother was quite a character."Mom, for God's sake, you're not James Bond," Fred put his hand over his face."I'm better than him. Melissa said so." Fred's mother managed to get everyone in the room laughing, even with all the tension."Mrs. Teresa, you're simply the best. Thank you so much,
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 164
Caroline’s POVOh my God, what kind of backwater is this! I went to the salon I found in town today, it turned out okay-ish, but they're all such hicks. I needed to get out of this podunk town soon."Celeste, make that snotty brat shut up. You can hear him crying all the way at the entrance," I said while walking into this dump my father had scrounged up for us. "So, what do you think?" I showed off my new look."Yeah, it looks just like Liz's," Celeste agreed. "But you shouldn't have gone!""Ughhhh. That's exactly what I wanted. If my hottie hooked up with that skank in New York, he'll go crazy when he sees me." I was dying to run into Alexander. "Besides, nobody knows me here.""This kid never stops crying. When I first met him, he was much quieter," Celeste said."Oh, just give him some medicine. I've got Xanax in my purse, want some?" I offered."Are you crazy? We can't kill the brat before Alexander does everything we want. Better let him cry, he'll tire himself out eventually.""
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 163
Alexander’s POVWe entered my office and it was chaotic, with people talking and working on computers while Melissa organized all the incoming information. Fred, who I discovered was also a notable hacker, had joined Marcus."Alexander, we managed to access Cat's phone," Marcus informed me. "And we got footage from other buildings on the street and now have the license plate of the car that took her.""Finally, some good news." Some of the tension I was feeling dissipated."Not that good - the plate is fake, but at least we have a car and we've issued an alert for models of the same color," one of the police officers warned me."And what about the phone?" I asked, leaning between Fred and Marcus's chairs.Fred grabbed his phone and opened a message, quickly looking at it before tossing it on the desk with a huff. Rick was standing next to me and glanced at the screen."Fred, why did you receive a photo of Celeste?" Rick asked with a puzzled look."Photo of who?" Fred didn't understand
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 162
Alan looked worried, as if the news was bad. He introduced the man accompanying him before sitting down."This is Detective Novaes from Internal Affairs. He's in charge of investigating your parents' accident," Alan introduced."Mr. Miller, I regret to inform you that the helicopter accident that claimed your parents' lives was deliberately caused. We found that the disconnection of the tail rotor pedals in the pilot's cabin caused the accident. The connections were intentionally cut. The helicopter had undergone maintenance at the manufacturer and had been cleared for flight just two days before. It was sabotage. I know this is a difficult time, but whoever is orchestrating this kidnapping might also be connected to the helicopter sabotage.""My parents were murdered? My parents were coldly and cruelly murdered?" I could no longer contain my tears and despair."Detective Novaes, we want everyone involved to rot in jail. Whatever you need, we can help," Patrick took over the conversati
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 161
Alexander’s POVWhen I left the terrace, I was much more composed. I spent about forty minutes up there thinking and praying to God to watch over my son. When I entered my office, I asked if there was any news, and they said no. Then I decided to spend some time with Catherine and see how she was doing. I went into Patrick's office but didn't see her."Where's Catherine?" I asked loudly."What do you mean? She said she was going to stay with you for a while," Melissa said, frowning."She's not with me, she's not in my office, and she's not at reception. Where is she?" I growled."Calm down, Alexander, she might have gone to the break room," Tess said, and immediately everyone went looking for Cat."Sam, have you seen Cat?" I asked when I returned to reception."Sorry, Alexander, but I haven't. The reception's been crazy," Samantha replied worriedly. "What's wrong?""I can't find her." After I spoke, I saw Tess coming back toward me."The emergency exit door is unlocked.""No, no, no. I

I was sitting next to my mother when Patrick came in. He told us everything that had happened, about the call from that crazy woman, and the more he spoke, the more I cried. After he left, Mrs. Agnes, Mel's mother, told my mother who Anna Caroline was, and Virginia informed them both about what was going on. It was too much information to process.My phone rang and I quickly answered it. I recognized Dennis's voice on the other end saying:"Don't say anything. If there's anyone near you, leave and only let me know when you're alone."I lowered the phone and started moving away from the room. When I reached the door, Melissa called out to me."Cat, what's wrong?""I'm going to see Alexander, Mel. I want to spend some time with him," I said and left the room.When I reached the corridor between the elevators and the meeting room, I started speaking again."Where's my son? Why did you do this?""Easy, kitten. Your son is still fine, but let's make things easier, because your lover won't a
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 159
Alexander’s POVI went back to Catherine and hugged her. When the elevator opened, I turned her toward it. She ran out to hug her parents, just as Melissa rushed toward hers. Catherine's father approached me."Son, thank you for sending for us," Mr. Anthony said, his expression showing the weariness of someone who hadn't slept and was very worried."No need to thank me, father-in-law!" I said, accepting his hug.Mrs. Selina came closer with red eyes. I hugged her and felt that maternal warmth. I greeted Melissa's parents and briefly explained the situation. Dr. Molina had taken Cat to her room and was examining her.I called Catherine's parents and said we needed to talk. I had to bring them up to speed on everything. We went to Cat's room, and Dr. Molina said she was doing better before leaving."You sent for my parents?" Catherine asked with teary eyes."Yes. I called Larson and explained the situation. I sent the company jet so they could get here quickly," I explained. "Cat, I can
Irresistible Boss: Succumbing to Your Touch Chapter 158
Alexander’s POVMy son had been kidnapped for over twelve hours now. Since the moment Lygia called, I had had to keep myself under control. I wouldn't lose it because I had to find my son. And I needed to take care of Cat.I had already activated all my possible contacts. Many people were looking for my son, but I was still thinking if there was anything else I could do. Patrick and Rick arranged for beds, food, and clothes. The executive floor had been transformed into a search command center, and none of us wanted to leave. Rick had set up a large conference table with chairs around it in the middle of my office, so many people were working there."Alexander." I heard Mari's voice and went to hug her. "Son, stay calm and have faith. Peter will be found safe.""I'm so glad you came, Mari. I feel like I'm about to lose it." She was like a mother to me, and all I needed was her here to support me."You won't lose control!" she said. "You're a strong and intelligent man. Being nervous an

The next thing I remember is jolting awake on Alexander's office couch. Looking around, I saw Samantha holding my hand, Margaret coming in with a tea tray, Patrick speaking nervously on the phone, Rick also on his cell phone, and Alexander desperately yelling at Daniel, the head of security."Alexander, she's awake," Samantha called, and he rushed over."My angel, I've already called the police. Lygia and the girls are on their way. It seems Dennis and Daniel were the traitors. They've both disappeared," Alexander explained through tears. "I've also asked Dr. Molina to come check on you.""Alexander, my son, he's just a little boy..." I was panicking."We'll find him safe and sound, my angel. We will," Alexander said, looking into my eyes. "I need you to stay calm for our baby in your belly, but I don't want to take my eyes off you. Let me handle finding Peter.""This won't knock you out, dear, but it will calm you down," Margaret offered me the tea.It wasn't long before Alexander's o
