Kate Hardy - Seduced By The Boss

Finally he pulled up in the road outside her flat. ‘I’ll see you to your door.’

‘There’s no need,’ Bella said. ‘Thank you for the lift. And I won’t ask you in. Not because I’m being rude, but because I’m sure you’re busy. And, tomorrow morning, when we’re back in the office, this weekend never happened.’

‘Agreed,’ he said.

Even though he didn’t see her to the door, Hugh waited until she’d closed her front door behind her before he drove away. That was the very least he could do. And as for the damage to their working relationship... He’d better hope that he could fix it. Because the only way he could keep Bella in his life was as a colleague—and he didn’t want to lose her.

What a weekend, Bella thought as she closed the front door behind her.

She changed swiftly into a more comfortable—not to mention demure—pair of jeans and a normal T-shirt, and bustled about sorting out things in her flat. There was a message on her phone from Grace.

Give me a ring when you’re back and let me know how it went xxx

Yeah, right. Bella rolled her eyes. She could hardly admit to her sister what she’d done: slept with her boss, gone completely off brief, interfered and told his mother the truth, and then had a huge row with Hugh. Even though he’d apologised, she still hated the fact that he thought he couldn’t trust her. Maybe his ex had broken his ability to trust, the way Kirk had broken hers; but it still hurt that he could think of her in that way. Did he not know her at all?

So she left it until late in the evening to text a reply to Grace: Just got back. That was stretching a point, but it was only a tiny fib. Too late to call. That bit was true. All fine. That bit might not be true. But she hoped that Grace wouldn’t push her for more details—and that things would be OK in the office tomorrow. That she and Hugh could pretend that nothing had ever happened. Because, otherwise, she’d be looking for another job.

And, if she left Insurgo, it wasn’t just the job she’d miss.
