Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 272

S2–Chapter 56

Henry’s POV

I needed allies but didn’t know who to turn to. However, when I saw Enzo chatting away with Melissa, I had an idea. I would spoil my nephew and convince him to help me. That was the plan, And since he was such a chatterbox, he would tell me everything he knew–and from what I could tell, he knew quite a lot.

“Enzo, would you like to have lunch with me?” I asked my nephew who smiled.

“Of course I will,” Enzo replied.

“Great, let’s go then,” I called out.

“Be in the office at two o’clock, Martin. I’m not going to sit around waiting for you!” Melissa warned.

“Alright, Melissa.“I walked out, kicking the air like a sulking teenager.

Enzo loved steak and fries, so I took him to the restaurant that served the best cuts of meat in town.

“Uncle, you knocked it out of the park today! I love this place,” Enzo sald excitedly.

“That’s great, I know you love steak and fries, that’s why I brought you here,” I said, smiling at him.

“Is this because I’m your favorite nephew or because you want to ask me for something?” Enzo was a good kid, but he wasn’t

naive

“A little of the first and a lot of the second,” I answered truthfully because there was no point trying to fool him at this stage.

“Well, then I’m going to make the most of it.” The waiter approached, and Enzo ordered the biggest steak in the house with a huge side portion of fries. “You’re not touching my fries.”

“You cheeky kid! Who did you take after, Enzo? Your mom’s a refined lady and your dad’s a gentleman.” I teased him.

“I took after my player uncle!” He flashed me a smile with the sharp response ready on his tongue, making me laugh.

“Has your anger towards me passed?” I asked, remembering how upset he was the day before.

“It’s not anger, uncle. But you don’t treat a woman like Samantha the way you did–actually, no woman at all, but especially her. And you’re the one who taught me that!” Enzo made a very good point.

“You’re right. I was an idiot, but your grandfather has a way of driving me crazy, he makes me lose my head.”

“I don’t consider that man my grandfather, and you give him too much power, just

does.”

“Sometimes I think you’re a sixty–year–old man who stole my nephew’s place.” Enzo was a smart kid and sometimes showed unusual maturity for a teenager.

“I observe, uncle. I observe and learn,” he said. “But tell me, what’s your plan to make her forgive you?”

“I’m thinking about some things, but I’ll need help. Can I count on you?”

“That’s exactly why I came looking for you. I’m not going to let another doofus steal Aunt Sam from

I raised my hand and Enzo gave me a high five. I was going to end up stealing this kid from my sister.

“First, I want to know what I still don’t know.”

“And what do you know?”

“That she went out with that dork Michael yesterday and is going to the movies with him today.

“The thing is, uncle, Michael isn’t a dork! Besides being a really handsome guy, he’s also a good man from an excellent family. He’s not the type who goes around hooking up with everyone; he’s the type of guy a girl takes home to meet her parents.” Enzo

“You know him?”

“Luna’s older sister had a thing with him. When Mel told me that Aunt Sam w nothing but glowing reviews. Unlike you!”

“That complicates things.” I sighed. I reached out to grab some fries, and Enzo playfully swatted my hand. “My God, are you going to eat all these fries by yourself?”

“Twamed you!” He said, putting a piece of steak in his mouth in cestasy.

“Do you know which theater they’re going to?”

“Great minds think alike!” Enzo grimmed. “Yes, and I’ve already thought about going there with Lima and like ‘accidentally‘ running into them and tagging along. Maybe I’ll even bring Lamia’s sister that way their date won’t be romantic,” Enzo emphasized “accidentally.”

“Kid, you’re the best wingman in the world,” I said happily.

“I know, and you’re going to bring me here to eat more often.”

Anything you

you can’t show up at Aunt Sam’s today, or she’ll figure out it’s a setup.”

“Got it. How did you find out?”

“Mel told me. Of course, she told me thinking I’d tell you and you’d show up there. But that’s not what’s going to happen.”

“You’re getting pretty clever. Too bad you can’t keep a secret,” I said, and Enzo gave me a fake little smile.

“But that’s not all I offered to help with the girls‘ move, which will keep me close to them and help me fit in. And on Wednesday, Aunt Sam is going out with me.”

“What do you mean going out with you?” I asked, interested.

“We’re going to this new diner, themed after classic cars. Tomorrow night is girls‘ night, they’re going to the Social Club, where you can show up like it’s no big deal”

“You’re on top of everything and already planned my week.” I was impressed by this kid’s cleverness in figuring things out. But then again, he put on this angel face for women and they treated him like an adorable kitten.

“So, what else are e we going to do?”

“I thought about using the cards again, like we did at the mall. But instead of pickup lines, apology notes,” I said, thinking of building on something that had worked before.

“Yeah, you can break the ice. But it needs to be cooler,” Enzo thought. “What if you send a card every day with a little gift, just one card per day with something simple that she likes? Like a chocolate bar, a fancy pen, a mug. Not a whole bouquet of flowers, but maybe one rose every day.”

“I like the idea. But you have to be the one delivering the gifts.”

“Oh no. Why me?” Enzo dropped his cutlery and rolled his eyes.

“Because it has meaning–you were the one who used to deliver the cards.” He listened and thought for a minute.

“No, uncle, I have a better idea!” My nephew’s eyes lit up. “For pickup lines, you needed someone charming like me, but to ask
