My Boss's Son 28 - An unexpected dinner
Nathan returns with the order that Madelyn had placed."Do you need anything else?" he asks the woman at the table behind us."No, thank you," her voice sounded sweet, unlike what I was accustomed to facing."Okay. Just let me know if you need anything," Nathan returns to the counter and I watch his path, stopping my gaze at Gregory, who was also giving me a curious look from the other side of the counter, surely because Madelyn was in his café.I stand up from the couch and walk up to the counter where Gregory was standing."You're... ""Surprised to see Madelyn Chapelle in my café? Yes. Definitely yes," he says incredulously. "She never comes here. Not after I bought the place.""What do you think she's doing here?""Based on what you told me about her, would it be naïve of me to think she only came to try one of the best cappuccinos in town?"Our gaze was focused on her. I lean against the counter, intrigued. Looking at her, seeing her alone, with a downcast expression on her face,
My Boss's Son 29 - Joshua
Joshua, three years ago.Several times he caught himself looking at the watch on his wrist. He seemed anxious. His gaze always turned to the arrival hallway. He seemed to be waiting for someone. The longer the minutes passed, the more restless he became."Why is she taking so long?" he muttered, tapping his foot lightly on the floor. "She should have arrived fifty minutes ago." He checked the time on his wristwatch again.Joshua turned to look at the large flight schedule board. Maybe he had arrived too early, or at the wrong time. Analyzing flight by flight, time by time, he realized that the plane Madelyn was on had already landed, but she hadn't shown up yet. Getting more nervous, Joshua started pacing back and forth in the airport lounge, extremely restless.A female voice sounded among the people, causing him to quickly turn towards the direction where the voice was coming from, thinking it was his girlfriend. Without success. It wasn't Madelyn."Joshua!" It was Samantha, a frien
My Boss's Son 30 - Good or evil?
I take a deep breath as I watch him leave. I couldn't understand why he was so upset. What could have happened between him and Madelyn to make him act like this? What kind of relationship did they have? This was something Joshua should have told me or already told me, instead of storming off like he did today."Are you okay?" I hear a soft voice. I turn my head to the side, glancing briefly at the woman behind me. She was the last person I wanted to talk to at that moment."I don't want to intrude, but... I overheard part of the argument between you two," Madelyn approaches, standing beside me. I observe her movements from the corner of my eye, seeing her putting her hands in the pockets of her red coat and looking vaguely down the street."I'm sorry for what happened. I guess coming to this dinner was a terrible idea," she said sadly. "Joshua has always been a bit explosive, especially when it comes to being the last to know something. But in the end, he just needs some time to cool
My Boss's Son 31 - The real sister
The end of the day was already approaching. I packed up my things to leave the office. Samantha was also getting ready to leave."If you need help finding a great hotel, I have some references," she said with a sly smile on her face. I didn't even want to imagine Samantha's references, and I let out a brief laugh. I grabbed my bag and walked to the elevator. I saw Joshua approaching and joining us. A sudden silence fell over us.The three of us waited patiently and silently for the elevator to arrive on our floor. After a few minutes of waiting, the doors opened, and Samantha stepped back."Oh! I just remembered that I forgot to check something," she said, taking a few steps back."What did you forget?" I asked."Something," she said, casting a suggestive glance in my direction and smiling cunningly. It was obvious that she did it on purpose just to leave me alone with our boss. I entered the elevator after Joshua.I let out a sigh. There were still a few floors to go before we reache
My Boss's Son 32 - Madelyn
Madelyn, three years ago."Where is he?" Madelyn looked around the airport for Joshua. "I knew I should have warned him that my flight would be delayed," she sighed. She took out her phone and walked towards the taxi stand, getting into one of the cars. "Why isn't he answering?" she muttered to herself as she gave the driver her apartment's address.Madelyn tried calling Joshua a few more times during the ride, but he didn't answer. The taxi driver soon parked in front of her building. Madelyn got out, paid the fare, and walked inside."Why isn't he answering me?" she wondered, getting frustrated. Joshua wasn't returning her calls or even picking up. Had something happened?As luck would have it, Madelyn saw him leaving the building. He looked furious."Joshua...?" she called out, confused. Why did he seem so angry? Madelyn shouted his name, but he didn't respond. He walked quickly towards his car and sped off.Confused and dazed, Madelyn hurried inside her apartment, intending to put
My Boss's Son 33 - The new guy
Numb, I watch Joshua, Jack, and the "real Madelyn" talk."And what do you intend to do?" Joshua asks."I'm not sure yet. But I'll do everything possible to get Emeraude to a rehab clinic," Madelyn responds, standing up next to Jack and Joshua."I think that's a good idea. Because enough is enough. It's been years of that girl interfering in my life. And now, since I know she's not you..." Joshua moistened his lips and quickly looked at me. "I just want her to pay for everything she's done."Strange that he interrupted what he was saying to look at me. His behavior actually made my heart beat faster. Had Joshua endured all these years of the girl's intrusions in his life because he still loved Madelyn? If he had said he wanted Emeraude to pay for everything she did only after discovering the truth, then perhaps Madelyn still meant something to him. Otherwise, he would have stopped her from tormenting his life from the beginning."She'll get what she deserves," the girl affirmed. "I hav
My Boss's Son 34 - Flowers
"What was that?" Hannah asks as she walks with me down the hallway after class."What do you mean?" I furrow my brow and glance at her, not understanding what she's talking about."The new guy? Benjamin?" She furrows her brow."Benjamin? What about him?""You were so comfortable with him." She suddenly stops walking in the middle of the hallway, forcing me to stop too. "What's gotten into you?""What do you mean?" I continue with my brow furrowed and turn to her. "Hannah... I don't understand. Seriously.""Alice, you have a boyfriend! And it looked like you two were flirting."I narrow my eyes, deducing something based on her attitude."Is this all jealousy?" I arch my eyes and end up letting out a laugh in irony."No! It's just that... You already have a hot guy! You don't need another one!" She crosses her arms, indignant.I roll my eyes and shake my head, unable to contain the desire to laugh."What's so funny?""We just got excited to find out we're both Brazilian. We're not going
My Boss's Son 35 - Conflicts
"Did you send flowers to Madelyn?" I asked, watching him place the dish on the counter."What?" He looked at me, surprised.I turned my phone towards him, showing the screen with a message from Madelyn."She's going through a tough time. I just wanted to show her that she has someone to count on," he shrugged, turning his attention back to the burnt chicken on the counter.I remembered the conversation I had with Benjamin, who had encouraged me to talk to Joshua about my doubts and fears."Do you still have feelings for her?" I asked, making him flinch."No, of course not."Joshua didn't look at me and walked over to the sink with the dish."Are you sure?" I insisted."Why do you want to know?""Because I want you to be honest!" I got off the counter. "Do you still have feelings for her?" I emphasized, but didn't get any answers. "Joshua?!""I already told you, no!" He replied like a stubborn child.I narrowed my eyes and licked my lips."Then look at me and say you don't feel anythin
