All Chapters of My Boss’s Secret Crush on Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

After pulling an all-nighter to meet my boss's insane deadline, I obviously overslept the next morning.Since HR would dock my pay the same whether I was 10 minutes or an hour late, I figured I might as well treat my exhausted self to a proper breakfast.I strolled into a local diner and ordered some hash browns and eggs without a care in the world.The place was packed, but I managed to grab a table. I was in no hurry, just adding some hot sauce to my breakfast.You know what they say - breakfast is the most important meal of the day.While eating, I casually glanced around the restaurant.Then I stopped mid-chew.Wait, what?That guy over there... with the movie star looks - somewhere between young Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt in his prime... why does he seem familiar?Isn't that suspiciously like Lucas Miller, my taskmaster of a boss who kept me working until 3 AM?I looked harder.Oh no, it is him!Just as I was about to make a run for it, nearly choking on my scalding hot

He was the only one who'd ever pursued me.For two years of dating, even though his attitude completely changed from when he was chasing me, he was decent enough. Just super cheap - our usual date was six-dollar tacos.My love-struck brain convinced me he was just being frugal and down-to-earth.Then right after graduation, this jerk lucked into a corporate job and started climbing the ladder.As they say, the first thing you do after making it is dump your girlfriend.So the day after he got his results, I got dumped.This scumbag’s excuse? His boss's daughter could help his career more, and I was too poor.I just smiled, pulled out the sports car keys I'd planned to give him.While he stood there gaping, I slapped him across the face and drove off in my car like a boss.I keep my spending low and don't flaunt my wealth or rely on family connections, but that doesn't mean we're not loaded.My dad's the richest guy in the city - not that I tell people that.Who needs someone

Somebody please tell me why the man from my dream is in my building's elevator??The ride down thirteen floors had never felt longer.Pure torture.Absolute torture.My toes were curling so hard from embarrassment they could've dented the floor.When did Lucas move? I snuck glances at the elegant man beside me, trying to figure it out.Was he the one moving in upstairs yesterday?Typical rich CEO, switching homes like changing clothes.He must have noticed my constant peeking because he turned to me and asked, "Had breakfast?"His handsome face stunned me for a second before I shook my head."Not yet.""Let's go grab some together."Before I knew it, we were sitting in the same diner as yesterday morning.Watching Lucas calmly order oatmeal, I remembered his casual outfit yesterday - basketball shorts, old t-shirt, and slides. The office ladies' perfect image of him would've shattered if they'd seen that.Wait... breakfast?A ridiculous thought hit me.Did Lucas move

What, am I extra pretty today?I flipped my hair happily as I sat down at my desk.My coworker Jane sneaked over, grinning. "Nice going, Hannah! When did you and the boss get together?"What the hell? Get together?I stared at her blankly. "What are you talking about?""You and Mr. Miller! Yesterday he heroically came to your rescue, looking absolutely dreamy. Then you both shared this look and left together. You have no idea how many hearts were broken."I tried to keep my cool, rolling my eyes. "Stop spreading rumors. That was my ex harassing me, and Mr. Miller was just protecting an employee. We left together because he happens to be my new neighbor - I just caught a ride."Sure, I secretly thirsted after Lucas, but if he heard about office rumors, he'd work me to death.Not worth dying over.But Jane looked skeptical. "No way. Look at this video the girls from accounting took. You don't share looks like that without years of secret romance!"What looks?I mean, I was def

"You're the billionaire's daughter! Please help me, I can't go on!"Great, now he's treating me like his personal ATM.Didn't think of me when he was climbing the ladder, but now that he's in trouble, suddenly I matter?I laughed bitterly, hitting him again with my bag."Get lost. Not my problem."I turned to leave, cold as ice.Behind me, James suddenly went quiet, his voice dropping low. "Hannah, you really won't help me?"I paused, an uneasy feeling creeping in.Turning back to yell at him, I saw his face.Gone was his usual polite demeanor, replaced by something twisted and unhinged that made my teeth chatter.James was losing it.And the most dangerous dog is the one that doesn't bark before it bites.I need to run!I reached into my bag, quickly dialing 911.Sure enough, James lunged at me.Despite being prepared, I lost my balance and fell. I watched helplessly as he approached, his eyes wild.What should I do?What can I do?Lucas is off with his beautiful fia
