Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Igrabbed a coffee and sat at my desk, my legs still shaky. After a few minutes, I received an email from the boss with guidelines to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting. I quickly got to work, and by the time employees started arriving at the office, I had everything in order.

Mariana walked in arm in arm with a guy and looked at me surprise,

“Cat, did you fall out of bed? Good moming!”

“Good morning, Mari! The boss asked me to come in early to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting.”

“That Alexander. Don’t let him make this a habit.”

“I won’t, Mari. But it was good, I already have everything prepared.” I looked at her and smiled.

The guy with her was staring at me with an extravagant smile. He was handsome, tanned, tall, with brown eyes, slightly longer black hair, and stubble. He wore an elegant suit and glasses.

“Mari, my boss said the new assistant was a hottie, but he wasn’t being fair – she’s stunning!” He spoke with a cheerful voice and very friendly manner. “She’s going to cause quite a stir in this office.”

“Yes, Rick, she’s very beautiful, and the stir has already begun,” Mariana replied with a smile. “But let me Introduce you. Rick, this is Catherine. Cat, this is Rick, Patrick’s assistant. You’ll be working together a lot, but don’t worry, Rick is a serious professional.”

“Cat, it’s a pleasure to meet you. You can count on me, including chasing away the vultures that’ll be circling around you.” Rick extended his hand, and I shook it, feeling that he would be a good friend.

“Pleasure to meet you, Rick”

We spent the morning working together, as Rick and I needed to be in sync. Throughout the morning, my boss showed no signs of life. By eleven o’clock, we had everything adjusted, and from then on, we would work with the precision of a Swiss watch. Rick and I were going to have lunch together; Mari wouldn’t join us as she would spend the rest of the day in video conferences with the London branch. Rick went to his office, and I finally got up to get some coffee when I heard a familiar whistle and looked up smiling,

“Is it going to be like this every day, Patrick?”

“Well, Catherine, it wasn’t supposed to be, but what did you expect with that little dress? You know you’re beautiful. And your boss is in big trouble!” He replied with a mischievous smile. “Speaking of him; is he in his office?”

He had barely finished speaking when we heard the door open and my boss’s grumpy voice reprimand:

“Patrick, I’ve warned you!”

When he looked at me, I saw fire in his eyes; he was devouring me with his gaze. I wasn’t going to miss this opportunity:

“Sir, would you like some chamomile tea?”

He narrowed his eyes and growled. Patrick watched the scene without understanding and asked his friend, somewhat confused:

“Since when do you drink chamomile tea?”

“Since my assistant decided to test my patience,” he replied without taking his eyes off me.
