All Chapters of My Date, My Boss, My Step-brother!: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

It was ridiculous how quickly things moved. Yesterday I was in a five star hotel overseas with Ethan while today I stood in the conference room with glass walls surrounded by people who thought I was unworthy of sharing the same air as them and wanted me to fail.How perfect…But if I was being really honest with myself, I didn't want to ever leave the phillipines, it was a magical place and now it held memories.By memories, I meant that the image of Ethan fucking me more times than I could count was forced embedded in my mind.The moment we landed, Ethan didn't even have a moment of rest, he was busy with meetings and phone calls, finalizing the last details of the merger. And now, here we were in the so-called victory part of the deal.He wanted to start the planning phase immediately, without any time wasted but first we had to celebrate Ethan Blackwood style.The once boring conference halls now had a long table in the center, set with champagne flutes and trays of hors d’oeuvr

Worked continued like normal as it was almost as if we weren't popping champagne thirty minutes ago, everyone was busy with their ken thing while I was reviewing emails for Ethan.My phone buzzed again, I rolled my eyes because I didn't even need to look at the screen to know that it was Ethan.But I needed to know what the message was, I looked and and not surprisingly, it was a text from him.Ethan: My office now. Now.I stood up and went to his office wondering what Mr. Needy ass wanted now.I stepped into the room to find him leaning against the table, with his arms crossed and sleeves rolled up like he was about to fix a problem himself. He looked at me and smiled, like he genuinely smiled at me, it wasn't a smirk or anything he would normally do “You took your sweet time,” he said.“You texted two minutes ago,” I shot back. “Relax and besides I was looking at your emails.”He looked as if he had the perfect reply in mind but surprisingly he didn’t push further Instead, he gest

Even as I walked home I was still grinning earlier to eat as I entered the taxi, my phone buzzed with a text from Ethan.Ethan: Remember tomorrow is Friday.Me: Looks like someone's excited.He didn't reply, he didn't need to be ahse the first sentence was enough to make my heart flip in my tiny little chest. I bit my lip, trying not to blush as the taxi driver did this thing. There was something perfect when your driver didn't try to engage in small talk, it just makes me want to give a full five stars.Finally I had reached my stop, I came down from the car as I hurried up the steps to my apartment. Tomorrow meant I was staying over meaning that I would be wrapped up in his sheets, waking up to him. The thought alone was to send me into overdrive But the second I looked up, the happiness I was feeling in my chest vanished.Right outside my apartment door was my mother looking like she was run over by a truck.Her legs were folded in a way that made it seem as if she had just coll

I should’ve just stayed in bed, and I wasn't even kidding.I knew today was going to be a mess the second I woke up, and the drama that happened just proved everything to be true. To make matters worse, I was already running late. My hair wouldn’t cooperate and stay in a freaking bun, my shirt had a wrinkle that refused to smooth out, and to top it all off, Ethan still hadn’t replied to my text.Looked like I was having the worst day on planet fucking Earth.I was checking my phone the whole ride to work, waiting for a reply from Ethan, or even a call from my mother telling me that what happened yesterday was one of her crazy attention-seeking stunts.But something told me that it wasn't.I checked my phone again, and still—nothing. The one time I needed Ethan to actually text me, he hadn’t sent a single reply.“Are you okay, miss?” The taxi driver asked, and I could see him watching me from the rearview mirror and he wasn't even hiding the fact that he was watching me.Jeez. Was I re

Everyone went dead silent but it looked as if Rachel wasn't done speaking. “But do you know what I can tell you? This is workplace harassment, and I will find out who’s responsible.”I have never seen her acting so vicious, if there was anything it was only now that she looked like she was actually related to Ethan. “You want to talk about immunity, let’s talk about company policy, shall we? Because last I checked, cyberbullying, workplace harassment, and slander are all grounds for termination.”Rachel’s eyes swept the room, daring anyone to challenge her. No one did.“That’s what I thought,” she said coldly. “Now get back to work before I make sure HR has a very busy afternoon.”With that, she grabbed my wrist and practically dragged me out of the office, my legs moving on autopilot as she led me toward the elevator. I didn’t protest. I didn’t have it in me.The elevator doors slid shut, sealing us in silence.Rachel exhaled sharply through her nose, arms crossed tightly over her c
