My Bossy Secretary Chapter 20 – Not A Playground
(Lexi’s POV)Did I hear it right?Sky wanted me to be more than a work wife to Finn. I cleared my throat, blinking my eyes at him and opening my mouth, but no words came out.He raised his index finger and chuckled. “Wait. I’m sorry for startling you with my words.” He placed his hands on his lap. “Let me clear that one.”I nodded. “Please,” I whispered and swallowed hard.I had no intention of becoming someone else in the Mars’ life, and even the possibility of becoming Finn’s future sister-in-law was still hard to visualize. Our lives were not only miles apart, but we were like heaven and earth.No… It was more like I was on earth, while the Mars were part of the universe.“Finn,” he sighed deeply. “Lexi, this is a difficult favor I am asking you,” he looked into my eyes and smiled. “But if you feel like leaving him because he is becoming difficult, stay with him.”I leaned my head forward, my eyes blinking as I wondered why the chairman of the Mars Group of Companies was asking me
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 21 – Her Name is Lexi
(Finn’s POV)“Guilty?” I asked the beautiful woman standing beside me.Lexi was surely playing many thoughts in her mind because not only was she quiet, but she would sometimes pout, pursed her lips, and then heaved a sigh.“I bet Sky told you about my work attitude, huh?” I asked, breaking our silence inside the elevator.It was a short trip from our floor to the tenth floor, but if we didn’t talk, it would be like standing in a broken lift, not moving down, and staying inside forever.She turned to me, raising her eyebrows but still not talking.“This isn’t a playground, Finn,” I repeated the exact words and copied her tone as I laughed hard. “You said it better than Sky, you know?” I waggled my eyebrows and sighed. “Did you accept the offer?” I couldn’t help asking as I put my hands inside my pants pocket.I promised myself that I wouldn’t ask Lexi, but curiosity was killing me.“Offer?” She raised her eyebrows and squinted her eyes, but it was only for a second. Her eyes widened,
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 22 – Be Her
(Finn’s POV)I raised my head when the door opened, and Lexi came in with my smartphone. With her lips pursed and her eyebrows knitted, I knew my work wife wasn’t happy. I pressed my lips tightly, not wanting to comment more because I was sure she knew now what she had volunteered her name to.“Why didn’t you tell me?” She muttered irritatingly. I was sure her annoyance wasn’t for me but herself.I leaned on the backrest of my chair and looked at her amusedly. “You were busy doodling,” I accused, but only teasing her.Her eyes widened, and she gasped. “I wasn’t doodling.” She placed my phone carefully on the table and opened her notebook.My eyes squinted, trying to read her handwriting. “God, you must use a tablet or laptop next time. Your handwriting is terrible.”It wasn’t true. It was cute, and when I meant cute, for a font size, it was too small, but her handwriting was neat and organized as she underlined and highlighted the words she didn’t understand.“What’s the font size of
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 23 – The Sudden Invitation
(Lexi’s POV)“Aren’t you going to answer her call?” Finn looked at me as he asked, noticing I was only staring at the screen of my phone.If only I could tell him I had no plan to answer her because I already knew what she was about to say, but thinking she was in the hospital, she could be calling about Aliyah or something else. Heaving a sigh, I swiped the screen while my other hand held the latch plate to unfasten the seatbelt, but Finn gripped my hand and shook his head.“Lexa,” I uttered my sister’s name, hoping she was calling about Aliyah.Finn leaned at the backrest of his seat, looking ahead of the car as if pretending not to listen to my conversation with my sister.“Your voice,” she laughed, then continued, “Finn beat me in telling you, did he?”I pouted, thinking she could be the one giving him the idea.“I should have called earlier, but Aliyah asked for ice cream, so I went out to buy one for her. She behaved well when I brought her to the next floor for her eye check-up
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 24 – Lights, Camera, Action
(Lexi’s POV)“Can I at least hold your hand?” Finn asked me before walking toward the door and glancing at my hands clenched on my side. I was walking as if going on a battle, not a lunch date with his mother.I looked at my hands, clasping them together as I decided quickly. I closed my eyes and breathed out before nodding.‘Oh, come on, Lexi. We’re good at this!’ I could imagine Lexa saying the exact encouraging words whenever we had to switch in the past.“Okay! Lights, camera, action!” I said in a hushed tone, extending my hand to him.As Finn held my hand and curled his fingers into mine, it was only then that I realized he was as nervous as I. He glanced at me and smiled anxiously. For a man who dated many women, I couldn’t believe he was worried about bringing his girlfriend to this lunch with his mother.The receptionist at the restaurant recognized him right away. Still, I caught her narrowing her eyes at me for a second as she probably remembered me with Frank, but she purse
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 25 – Not Lexi, But Lexa
(Lexi’s POV)“Lexa.”Finn corrected Sky, squeezing my hand and giving me a silent signal that everything was under control.“Lexi? Lexa?” Jocelyn looked at Finn, then Sky, but her eyes ended at me.My lips were forced to smile. “I have a twin sister,” I said and looked at Sky, hoping he got the message. “Her name's Lexi.”“Really?” Olivia’s eyes went round in excitement again. “Woah! You’ve met the triplets at the party, right?”“Yeah!” I lied and turned to Finn. “I need to go to the restroom,” I said in a hushed tone, and if Finn stopped me, I would definitely faint at this little family reunion.“Would you like me to go with you?” Finn asked, but I shook my head.“I’m good,” I smiled, but the truth was, I was already planning my escape.He must be afraid I would not return. “Don’t be gone for long. I’ll miss you,” he said sweetly, raising his hand to touch my face, but Frank coughed, stopping him from even grazing his fingers on my skin.I breathed out nervously, stood up, and walke
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 26 – Waiting For The Boyfriend
(Frank’s POV)“Any news?”Sky asked as he got out of his private office and glanced at his wristwatch and then at Catherine’s clean table. Not a fan of extended overtime, she had already left an hour ago. I stood up, taking my bag and car key from the table. “Mr. Park’s secretary called, and she said he’s okay with the meeting moved to the afternoon,” I told him.The chairman of the Mars Group of Companies, the man I considered my best friend, chuckled amusingly at me. He tapped my shoulder.“I wasn’t asking about work, Frank. Your work was supposed to be over an hour ago, and I thought you’re still here because you’re waiting for Lexi,” he said, pursing his lips, and the way he looked at me, he was hoping it was really what I was trying to do.Disappointed, I shook my head. “Nah! They left early because Aliyah’s going out of the hospital today, and Lexa has to go to work,” I said and made a face.“Ah!” He exclaimed as we walked toward the elevator.“What does your ‘ah’ means?” I lo
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 27 – One Strange Gentleman
(Frank’s POV)My eyes watched the restroom door where Lexa went into, waiting for her to get out, while my fingers were tapping the table impatiently. I picked up my cup but put it down again as I nervously thought she had escaped from me.What was taking her long inside the restroom?The door finally opened, and I understood what had taken her long. She had washed her face and pulled her hair into a ponytail, making her look exactly like Lexi. She smiled apologetically as she sat across from me.“Thank you for this. You shouldn’t have bothered bringing me here just to sober up. A nice air from the bus or taxi will do,” she grinned.I smiled, looking down to avoid gazing at her cleavage. Her sleeveless dress has a plunging V-neckline, and her dress accentuates her beautiful body, making her look sexier. She must have noticed I wasn’t feeling comfortable; she blushed and looked for something to cover her.“Oh!” I exclaimed, taking off my suit jacket and giving it to her. “Here.” I offe

My Bossy Secretary Chapter 138 – Even Twelve
(Finn’s POV) Five years later… As I talked to my brother, I leaned on my chair, propping my elbows on the table as I massaged my temple. Lexi had been giving me a hard time lately, and no matter how I explained to her that I didn’t care about not having children, I would still find her crying in the middle of the night. “Sky, I don’t know what to do. We could adopt one if she really wanted a baby-” I wanted to cry at my brother. “Just be patient with her, Finn. We all know how much she has wanted to have her own child since the day she saw her nephew. And for sure, she’s having this kind of low feeling again because her twin sister just gave birth.” I heaved a sigh. “I know, but she was making me crazy lately.” “You know what? You two need a break. Why don’t you bring her on a date? Give all your time to her tonight,” he suggested. “You’re right. Maybe I’ve been working too hard,” I muttered. “Thanks, brother. Please, come home already. Be there on the weekend, okay?” Sky chuck
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 137 – Surprise!
(Finn’s POV)My sister-in-law walked with my brother onto the stage and curved a sweet smile on her lips as she looked at everyone. Six months ago, I was here, watching my brother and my gorgeous sister-in-law make a very special announcement about the success of the company’s new project.At that time, I wondered where I would find another woman like Angela, but now, Frank and I were seated in the same spot with our own date. This wasn’t a big party, but a gathering with our family, friends, and relatives, wanting to be part of Angela and Sky’s number of babies reveal. Their children, three girls and two boys, were excitedly seated in front, and like us, they also had their guesses on the gender and number of babies.“This is insane and fun!” Anya exclaimed as she and Dylan joined us at the table.“Well, that’s our Angela,” He laughed. “So, let’s have our guess. One! Just one.”“One?” Frank shook his head. “Could be two, another twin.” He looked at Lexa. “What’s your guess, baby?”Le
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 136 – Grand Plan
(Lexi’s POV)It had been a month since the incident happened, and before Sky and Finn went on a business trip, he decided that the three of us stay in the mansion after the trauma from the Travis siblings. He even talked to Jocelyn, who seldom visited their home, to stay with us for a while. She happily obliged, but deep inside, I knew how much she loved the idea.But I think the one who enjoyed this setup the most was Elenita. She entered the family room and brought us snacks. Another maid came in with a tray filled with glasses, a pitcher of orange juice, and a cup of coffee for Jocelyn. She was sitting on the egg chair and reading Aliyah a book.“Lexi, Lexa,” called Elenita. “Sky’s looking for you in the garden.”“Sky’s back?” Lexa stood up.I pressed my lips, suppressing a smile because we were sure my twin sister was not excited about Sky coming back but about the man he was with.“Is he alone? Do you want me to call Angela?” Her eyes were hopeful as she looked at Elenita.“If Sk
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 135 – She Was A Cat
(Finn’s POV)For how long I had been staring at the cross, I didn’t know. I was about to head back to the hotel, but my feet dragged me to the prayer room where Angela would usually go whenever we were here. As I sat in the front row and looked at the relic of the cross, I sniffled, wishing I was like my sister-in-law, having a big heart and full of faith in something she had never seen in her life.I wasn’t religious, but at this point, I wanted to believe that everything happened for a reason, wishing for miracles and hoping this would soon be over. If only I knew Lexi would get hurt, I should have just stayed in France and didn’t bother coming back.“Hey!” Angela muttered softly, sitting beside me and resting her head on my shoulder.Frank sat on my other side and noticed he had showered and changed his clothes. “Sky is waiting for your decision, Finn.”I took a deep breath. “Send her flowers. Make sure to order her favorites and tell the florist to make a beautiful one.”He nodded
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 134 – Déjà Vu
(Finn’s POV)The sky was gravel-gray, looking somber as it waited for the large pillows of clouds to cover the sky. I never liked it when the sky looked sad because its color reflected the seawater, making the sea body melancholic… lifeless. I sighed, thinking it would rain any moment, but instead of looking for shelter, I stepped forward, going to the shore and stopping when the white foam of waves kissed my feet.My eyebrows knitted as my eyes fixed on the horizon, remembering I had been in this place, but I could not pinpoint when or why I was here. When I lowered my gaze, I saw a starfish washed to the shore, softly hitting my toes. I took a deep breath, thinking this had happened before.I closed my eyes and asked myself when or how.Ah, Freya!Now I realized this place didn’t exist, but I was in a state of unreality, a dream I had a few years ago. Only now, I was alone, but when I had this dream, Freya and I went into the water and swam as we loved swimming. And then we sat on t
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 133 – Quiet And Dark
(Lexi’s POV)The burly man in the black suit was in the corner of the room; his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was gagged with a cloth, preventing him from screaming. It was his restrained scream that woke me up.I hardly knew him, but when I woke up earlier, I saw him watching the nurse’s every move, only leaving his post when Jocelyn entered my room. He must be one of the Mars’ security details, but his face was unfamiliar to me since Finn never had one. After what Chelsea did, I understood the danger of being alone in the hospital, but I thought it was too much since I was not an important person to guard.Who would want to kill me?He eyed the young man lying on the floor, and his eyes moved like he was pointing at the man standing and facing the light switch. I pressed the call button, hoping the nurse or anyone would see my emergency call immediately.If my wound were totally healed, I would have filled the room with my scream to get help, but as the man with the syring
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 132 – Twilight Before Sunrise
(Lexi’s POV)Somebody must have taped my eyelids because I found them difficult to open. At first, I didn’t mind because Morpheus seemed to drag me into a deep sleep at most times, and believe me, I was happy and contented. I felt at peace with my parents, eating and seeing them delighted as they listened to me. But after we ate, my mom opened her arms and asked me to sit on her lap.I excitedly dashed to her, sitting on her lap. “Mom, I’m heavy already, you know,” I giggled.She pressed her lips on my cheeks. “I know, but I will always see you and Lexa as my babies. My beautiful babies.”My father wrapped his arms around us, humming the song Can’t Take My Eyes Off You. I closed my eyes and sniffled as I listened to him.“We’re so proud of you and your sister,” Dad uttered as he stared at me with great love. I giggled again when they sandwiched me as mom kissed me on my right cheek and dad on my left.“Now, baby, go back to your sisters,” Mom said, her fingers trailing my face and s
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 131 – My Bundle of Joy
(Frank’s POV)Lexa stared at the charming woman in white uniform for a second before scoffing and walking inside the room where the doctor and another medical specialist were. “Grrr! Of all days, you chose to be here,” I sneered at my cousin and watched Lexa talk to her doctor.“Oh, let me pour my name on your day, Frank,” Felicity grinned, holding my hand and tugging me excitedly beside Lexa on the bed.“You look more excited than the parents, Felicity,” the doctor smiled.Lexa looked at the young nurse; her lips pressed like she wanted to ask me but did not bother to raise the question.“She’s Felicity, my cousin,” I answered Lexa in her unuttered question and watched the doctor apply the gel to her belly. “My mom and her mom are sisters… A Mars.” “Oh,” She exclaimed and glanced at Felicity again. “Oh!” she gasped when the doctor pressed the small device against her skin and began to capture images on the screen.Dr. Lee smiled. “There’s your growing bundle of joy,” she exclaimed
My Bossy Secretary Chapter 130 – Still Had Trust Issues
(Frank’s POV)I never thought the long meeting would ever end. The Travis case seemed never-ending, and looking at Finn, like me, he wished to escape and be with the women we loved. Sky had been aware of the case of attempted hacking and had this under investigation. The private investigator reported that the hacking was not just Chelsea’s doing alone, but she was an accomplice to the crime. One thing she somehow did not expect was falling in love deeply with Finn when she had to lure him so her brother could tap into his office without being noticed. Chuck was an old employee of Quick Soft IT whom Sky had terminated three years ago because of grave misconduct, and now he was on the loose after the news of Chelsea’s death leaked on social media.“I’m going back to the hospital,” Finn muttered, looking exhausted.“No,” Sky shook his head, surprising Finn and me.“Sky,” He scowled, his brows knitting in disapproval of his brother’s decision.Sky heaved a sigh and grabbed his brother
