I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BOSS

CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

JAYDEN'S POV

I was surprised she had to turn up that way after what I almost did last night. I couldn't get the courage to face her but seeing her come before me made the incident of last night cloud my thoughts.

I guess she knew I wouldn't stoop so low to do that on purpose if I wasn't drunk to stupor. But notwithstanding, I still need to clear my head and also get back at Ryan for that humiliation.

I'll show him never to mess with me again in any way and the reason why I let him go all the time is because of Amanda but this time around, I'll have my revenge for sure.

There's still two more events to attend and in this event, I'll make him lose his self-respect and worth in the presence of everyone.

He will regret ever messing with my reputation and as for Mr Hopkins, I don't mind cutting the deal off with him, if being friends with my enemy brings him so much fun. He can keep his contract to himself and continue his damn friendship with that mo**** man.

I don't care about whatever anyone wants to think of me because of the lies he told to them. All I know is I'll have my revenge in such a way he wont imagine and would never in his damn life think of humiliating the wrong person.

“Mr Russell, I've been looking all over for you. Mr Hopkins uttered, looking pale. Can we find a place to speak in private, please?"

I didn't know what to say to him but seeing how pale and skinny he looked in the space of just yesterday made me agree to hear him out.

We headed back to my room as he rushed back towards the door and stared out before shutting the door with sweaty hands.

"What's the matter, Mr Hopkins?" I questioned, with folded arms.

“I'm really sorry about last night's incident. I didn't know how callous he was until yesterday when he threatened me and two of my friends. You've to save us from him, Mr Russell. Please, Im begging you. I cant let the information he has tarnish my reputation and my son's life." He said, shivering in fear.

“Why do you think I can help you and your friends? It's your problem not mine so why should I get involved?"

“He's planning something big but I don't know what it is but it seems like he's after you or someone close to you."

"Are you trying to use that excuse so I could help you? The Ryan I know is a weak man who only uses words to attack someone and isn't that smart enough to even think of trying to attack me."

“I guess I might be wrong then but believe me, he's targeting someone but I know who and when he's going to execute the plan. I heard him speaking with someone on the phone to prepare for the mission."

“Since, it's not about me then it's simply not my problem and as for your problem, you can settle it amiably with him. I've other matters to deal with." I stated and turned to head outside when his next words stopped me.

“My son got framed for a murder but I was able to pay someone to take the blame since all the evidence points finger on my son and no one knew about it. However, I don't know how Mr Malcom got the information but he threatens to leak it out if I don't give him half of my company stock and cancel the contract deal with you. Please, you have to help me."

“Did he really say that?" I asked, in surprise.

It's really unlike Ryan to think smart that way. Could it be that he's not the man I claim to know? This will be a way to find out his real intentions and what he must be planning as well as a way of getting my revenge.

“Yes Mr Russell. I don't know his plans for doing that but he seems serious about it. Also, he said he has the evidence to prove my son really committed the murder in his suite."

“Are you sure?"

“I swear on my son's life."

“Alright. I'll help you just once and after that we're done."

“Thank you so much, Mr Russell."

“Don't thank me yet. I also want to get back at him for what he did at the party. You can leave, now. I need to make a call to someone."

"Okay Mr Russell." He bowed and left, like a puppet.

There's some I know who will get this job done and will teach the son of a b*** the lesson of his life.

SARAH'S POV

After packing my luggage, the head of security ordered two of the bodyguards to help with my luggage and gestured to me to get inside the car which I did without complaint.

I feel bad I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to Mr Russell even though he hurt my pride with his cold attitude.

I know I shouldn't be saying this but it seems I've developed feelings for him and I can't help it. He's the first man to ever see me as a real woman and treat me like one. I have always dreamed to be with a man who will treat me as a woman and show me love beyond imagination.

I can't help it but my heart is completely over him even though I dont have the right to have feelings for my boss. I wish I could stop my heart from making a mistake I'll later regret because Mr Russell can't even dream of falling in love with me.

**

I boarded the plane and was asked to go to the business class section which was so beautiful with few people and was looking only for the wealthy people.

I was offered a seat which was close to the window and the view from the outside was so lovely to watch.

"Ma'am, if you're feeling sleepy. There's a special place for you to rest. Your husband has made the reservation for everything you'll need. Please, call my attention when you need something." A flight attendant uttered, helping me with the seat belt.

"Oh.. okay. Thanks." I answered with a smile, trying to hide my happiness as she addressed me as Mr Russell's wife.

I wish it will turn out to be true but I'm afraid it's impossible from Mr Russell's side. He would never have anything to do with his son's nanny, not to dream of spending a single moment with me in his right senses.

About last night's kiss, it felt like I've been kissed before by him. I don't know but it felt strange and really deep like he meant it.

I wish I was able to see that stranger that night, I probably won't be mixing the thought of him with my boss who would never love me.
