My Boss's Son 12 - He's really trustworthy?
I open my eyes slowly; the room was beginning to be invaded by the gradually rising sunlight. And once again, I woke up suddenly from my sleep. I vaguely observed the room where I slept, without a definite direction. Something was bothering me, and it wasn't the fact that I had slept poorly at night, it was something more intense, improper, perhaps. I was still ecstatic from the dream I had had.Until then, it might not mean anything, but at the same time, I could say that I was starting to give in to Joshua, and that, in no way, should happen.With only a few minutes left until sunrise, I decided to start getting ready to go to Joshua's company. And, as I remembered that I would have to spend the entire day with him, a cold malevolent feeling invaded my stomach.I try to push all those thoughts away. I shake my head and take a deep breath, getting up from bed and walking to the bathroom. I undress and turn on the shower, alternating the water temperature to a little warmer. The rain
My Boss's Son 13 - I judged you wrongly
I couldn't express any reaction. The nervousness that was already consuming me only increased when I saw Joshua there, standing in front of me, knowing that he had heard everything I had said about him. I tried to speak, but my words failed, it seemed like my mind had been blocked. I didn't know what to say to get out of that embarrassing situation.Joshua, on the other hand, didn't seem angry, but rather indifferent to the situation. He commented on what I had said and showed displeasure with the fact that I had exposed something he had asked to keep private, and even added that if I had anything I wanted to know about him, I just had to ask.I tried to justify myself, explaining that it wasn't easy to ask questions about someone's life who isn't close without seeming intrusive. But Joshua argued that if I preferred to deduce instead of knowing the truth, then I was simply trying to convince one person that another was of bad character just because I had observed them superficially.
My Boss's Son 14 - Bride?
As we were talking, Joshua received a call and by the expression on his face, it seemed like it was something he had forgotten."Listen...Alice, unfortunately we'll have to continue our conversation later. I forgot that I have an event today," he replied, putting his phone back in his suit pocket."Oh, no problem!""I'll drive you home," he said, getting up from the table."If you want me to take a taxi so that you won't be late..." I stood up after him."It's okay, I'll take you. The event venue isn't far from my apartment. I just need to stop somewhere first."I nodded and followed him out of the café.***Joshua took us to a small shop in the city center. He said he needed to buy a few things before we went to the event. As we entered the shop, I was amazed at the variety of objects for sale. Joshua seemed to know exactly what he was looking for and went straight to a shelf at the back of the store. He picked up a few items and examined them carefully.Meanwhile, I took the opportu
My Boss's Son 15 - I'm definitely screwed
Still staring at the door through which Joshua had left, I feel a shiver run through my body, as if someone was right behind me. I turn around and see Mrs. Taylor with a cold gaze. She was too close, her dark brown eyes staring at me like two knives ready to make a victim."What did you do?" she growled."W-What?" I instinctively backed away from her. Mrs. Taylor's look was making me completely creeped out."What did you do? Mr. Scott left your room like that.""I didn't do anything!" I say immediately."Listen, girl..." She approaches me again. "Madelyn and Joshua make a perfect couple. And they need to be together.""And why do you think I have anything to do with it? Mr. Scott can be in a relationship with whoever he wants.""I see how he looks at you. He might not be in love, but I know he has some interest in you.""D-Don't be ridiculous, Mrs. Taylor. That's not true. Mr. Scott is just my boss.""You really don't know him, do you? But of course, a modest girl who came from the ot
My Boss's Son 16 - Did she threaten me?
The next day, after spending the rest of the night unable to stop thinking about Joshua and his kiss, the alarm clock rang promptly at six in the morning, announcing the beginning of a new day. Slowly, I opened my eyes and stretched, still half asleep, but knowing that I needed to get up soon so as not to be late for work.As soon as I got up, I headed to the bathroom and took a quick shower. While getting dressed, I carefully chose my clothes for the day, making sure they were appropriate for the company environment.And every time I closed my eyes, the image of Joshua kissing me appeared in my mind, and no matter what I did, my mind seemed to be stuck on him.That's when I realized that maybe I was falling in love. I didn't want to admit it, but that's what was happening. I was attracted to his intelligence, his beauty, and his strong personality.But at the same time, I felt afraid. Afraid of giving too much, afraid of getting hurt, afraid of being used. I was afraid that it was al
My Boss's Son 17 - Maybe it's better this way
Throughout the entire way back home, I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened. Madelyn had threatened me over something so trivial. How could someone threaten another person just because of their obsessive passion? That person must be sick.When the taxi stops in front of Joshua's apartment, I get out of the car. Apparently, my boss wouldn't be coming home tonight, as I haven't seen him since the call he received.As I reach the upper floor of the building and enter Joshua's apartment, I see that Mrs. Taylor is not around. So, I decide to make a herbal tea to help me relax a little, as my mind is in turmoil.I leave my things on the kitchen counter and approach the stove to heat the little water I had just taken from the tap."Alice," I hear Mrs. Taylor calling me. I turn to look at her in the living room. "I'm leaving. Mr. Scott said he won't be coming home tonight. Something unexpected came up, and he asked me to let you know."I nod and watch her adjust her purse on her sho
My Boss's Son 18 - Are you avoiding me?
"What do you think you're doing?" Samantha questions my actions ironically. I was on my knees behind her desk."Has he left?" I ask back."Alice," she takes a deep breath and puts her hands on her hips. "You can't hide from him forever!""I'm not hiding," I stand up and dust off my knees. "I'm just avoiding him.""It's the same thing. And if you haven't noticed, you work for his company. How long do you think you can avoid him?""I'm not going to avoid him forever," I lean against the desk and cross my arms. "I just don't want to see him. Not today, at least not until I move out of his house.""And when will that be?" She sits in her chair and takes a sip of her coffee."I don't know..." I sigh defeated. "I'm still looking for a place.""So, you plan on avoiding Mr. Scott for all this time?" she raises her eyebrows. "Look, friend... Not to discourage you, but... It's impossible! You can't avoid Mr. Scott living in the same house as him! Besides, you're his second assistant, it's defin
My Boss's Son 19 - I'm not avoiding you
"I-I'm not avoiding you.""No?" He expresses a mocking smile on his lips. "That's not what Samantha said."I mentally grumble for having trusted her. How could she have told Joshua about the conversation we had earlier?"So, it's true?" He adds.I cross my arms indignantly and focus my gaze on the wall behind him, trying not to stare at him."Samantha had no right to tell you.""You also had no right to talk about my personal life," he retorts. "But here I am, wanting to talk."I roll my eyes and let out a sigh. It seems that this time, I really couldn't escape from that conversation."Look, if it's about what happened yesterday, it's better to let it go. It's not that important...""It may not be important to you, but it is to me," he interrupts. "Alice, do you really think I would waste my time chasing after a girl if it wasn't really important?" He furrows his brow.I moisten my lips and shake my head. Maybe it was time to be honest. Especially with myself."Joshua, I know what you
