The Boss Too: Billionaire Romance by Lexy Timms Read Free Book Online

beg for her maid of honor spot and, Jamie smiled to herself, she now wouldn’t have to use Christine as her maid of honor when she got married.
    She thought about Stephen and how he had acted so strange. He did seem pissed when he realized that she was there, but Stephen didn't have a conscience. Even if he did remember his drunken attack, he wouldn't care. Hell, he would probably say that Jamie was to blame and that she went after him. So, why so mad? Was he worried she would tell Christine?
    No, he wouldn't be because when had Christine ever taken her side over his?
    Jamie had a feeling Alex had said or done something. She shook her head. She was just being paranoid. Alex was the overprotective type but there was no way he would actually go so far as to threaten Stephen, or whatever, into leaving her alone.
    Jamie smiled as she thought about her sexy, rich boss. It was kind of cool to think he was looking out for her. The look on his face the other night popped into her memory and how his touch had heated a fire in her that still begged to be released. She’d never been the horny type, well, she grinned wryly, not really.
    Stop!
    Alex was a great boss but he had made it pretty clear he only cared about her professionally. She shook her head. She told him she wasn’t interested. It didn’t matter. It wasn’t like anything could happen between them anyway. It wouldn’t work. She was not hot-guy material. Christine had made that blatantly obvious.
    She took her time finishing her omelet and forced herself to enjoy the peace and quiet in the little café. She didn’t need her phone, or laptop or anything for those thirty minutes. By the time she finished, she had already begun to feel better. Not much, but a little.
    She drove around for an hour and then with nowhere else to go, she figured she would head home and lie in bed with a book to curl up with, and maybe a workout as well.
    When she pulled into the driveway, hundreds of cars were blocking it. She’d forgotten Alex had said he was hosting a brunch with business partners. She hadn’t realized it was at his place . She groaned inwardly. All she wanted to do was hide for the time being, but it looked like that was a lot easier said than done. Hopefully no one would notice her sneak into her suite.
    She waved away the valet who tried to open the door for her. “It’s just me,” she told him before realizing that the valets Alex hired from the valet company had no idea who she was. “I’m Mr. Reid’s personal assistant. I live here. I’m just going to sneak by and go to my apartment.”
    “Could I see some ID, please?” the valet said , a clipboard coming out from the little stand where he stood.
    She handed him her wallet and he looked at her name, frowning. “I’m sorry, Ms. Connors, but I can’t let anyone through who’s not on the guest list.”
    Of course Alex wouldn’t have thought to inform the valets about her. Plus, she was supposed to be gone for the entire day. “Look, if you just ask Mr. Reid, he’ll tell you and let me through.” She looked behind the seat but couldn’t see her phone. She reached for the door handle but the valent stood close, preventing her from opening the door.
    “My apologies, ma’am, but I’m under strict orders not to let anyone in that is not on the list. If you could just turn your car around—”
    “Listen, kid, this is my home. Ask Murray, the cook.”
    “Who?”
    She threw her hands in the air. “Ask, I don’t know, the gardener! Whoever you want. Just let me through the gates and step away from my damn door!”
    “Jamie?” came an all-too familiar voice.
    She sighed. Of course she would lose it in front of her boss. Because he didn’t already think she was crazy. Jamie and the valet both looked at Alex, who stood with a middle-aged couple in expensive, yet casual, designer wear, with mimosas in hand. They all looked at the spectacle curiously.
    The valet rushed to open the gate and Alex came
