Let Me Go My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463 Boss's Muse
Logan's POV.

I sat in my office, patiently awaiting Mia's arrival. I had called her here to discuss something regarding my upcoming trip, hoping to convince her to accompany me. I knew it wouldn't be easy to persuade her since she was a spirited woman with a mind of her own. Nonetheless, I prepared myself to make a compelling case.

As the boss, I shouldn't have to beg her to join me on a business tour. After all, she was my secretary, and it was her duty to comply with my every order. However, Mia was more than just an employee to me. She was the woman I desired in my life, and I was willing to set aside my ego to ensure her happiness. If pleasing her required me to implore her to come along on the tour, then so be it.

Damn it, this wasn't like me-making efforts to convince someone, especially not for a woman. But Mia was different. Just as I was lost in my thoughts, a knock on the door snapped me back to reality. I leaned back in my chair and composed myself.

"Come in," I granted her entry.

Mia walked in, dressed in a sleek black pencil skirt and a crisp white blouse. Her hair was elegantly pulled up into a ponytail, with a few loose strands delicately framing her cheeks. I couldn't help but gaze at her, and she arched an eyebrow inquisitively.

"Yes, I know, and I have made all the bookings. I will send you a confirmation by this evening," she replied, her smile captivating me once again. Damn, her charming smile had a way of making me lose myself.

"Ummm... Mia... I want you to come with me," I said, anxiously awaiting her response.

"Me? But why?" she frowned, and her reaction didn't surprise me.

"Come with me, baby. It'll be our first outdoor date. I want to travel with you and explore the world together," I said, leaning forward on the desk.

"Do you usually travel with your secretary?" she asked, squinting her eyes suspiciously.

"Not usually. I travel with my assistant. But this time, I selfishly want you to be by my side. Believe me, I've never taken any other girls on trips before you," I confessed, baring my heart to Mia, hoping she would accept my offer.

"Okay, I'll book a double room this time," she finally spoke after a long pause.

"Just book one room because I can't bear to be away from you," I said, my voice turning husky and filled with desire.

She gasped, "What are you saying? What will people think? If anyone in the office finds out about this, they'll start gossiping about us. We can't take any chances. I don't want to lose this job because of rumors." She spoke
