She doesn't like her boss, who happens to be a gorgeous, infuriating man. Robert Ramirez is blunt, demanding, and always gets what he wants. And what he wants is his brilliant assistant - Emily. She's excellent at her job and surpasses his every expectation. So why can't he stop thinking about her?

CHAPTER 47

I took the long way home and drank a lot of scotch. I neglected my family for two weeks while I played pool at a dive bar. I phoned in sick and only occasionally got out of bed to get a bowl of cereal, top up my drink, or use the restroom, where I would give myself the finger while staring in the mirror. I was a helpless mess and had no clue how to get myself together.

Dad sent me regular voicemails with business updates, while Mom delivered food to my door. I received more scotch from Mina.

Finally, Henry arrived at my home with the only set of extra keys, drenched me with cold water, and then handed me some Chinese takeout. I ate as he threatened to decorate my home with images of Emily if I didn't get my act together and go back to work.
