In Bed With Her Shithead Boss (By Ellie Wynters) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Luca looked up at the building that housed Cyber10 later that week. The building was impressive, but the work

standards hadn’t been up until now, though that would soon change. Nicole was already here, getting to work on turning the business around.

He had used it as an excuse. Nicole had been different lately… sort of touchy and rubbing him the wrong way. It had been like poking the bear, and that bear being him. So when the opportunity to send her to the States had

come up, he had jumped at the chance. It gave him breathing room, and to focus on moving to the states.

He had been in relentless pursuit of Audrey, who had indeed vanished. His security team was still scratching their heads. He worked in the tech industry. Somehow, she had gotten someone to wrap her flight information, or her name had been an alias. Which just didn’t make sense. Why would a model go to those lengths? But that is what

happened.

The gnawing in his chest hadn’t left since Audrey had walked out of his life. But he would find her. And his baby. He hoped she hadn’t aborted the baby. He would only have himself to blame if she had, as that was his last thought before stepping through the front doors of Cyber10 into their lobby.

The place buzzed with activity as employees scurried past him. All, he was sure, trying to look busy. Nicole would have told everyone he was coming. Luca didn’t care. All he wanted was to find Audrey and set things right. The purchase of this company was just convenient. Necessary, even if it brought him closer to her. A reason to be here.

“Luca!” called a voice from off to the side.

He turned to see Nicole approaching; her smile was a little too bright.

“I’m so glad you made it,” she said, before touching his arm. “This place needs a complete overhaul, starting with

the idiot on reception.”

Luca pulled his arm away from her touch. The only woman allowed to touch him was Audrey. He was a highly sexed man, but since Audrey had walked away, he hadn’t had any sex. He needed her. His skin was too tight without her. The chemistry between them had always been red hot. Explosive even. He craved her in a way that made him angry with himself.

“Not now, Nicole,” he snapped. “I think it’s more important I meet the team at Cyber10.”

She raised an eyebrow but didn’t back down. “I’m sure you do, but you might want to hear what I have to say first.”

He paused. “What is it?”

“I have done a full employee analysis regarding your acquisition,” she said smoothly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “It seems some personnel are complete dead wood. Would you like me to arrange their

termination now?”

“No, I will review all files first.” That had been a condition of Nicole coming before him. She wasn’t allowed to get rid of anyone without his say so. Roman’s soon–to–be sister–in–law worked here, and he wanted to make sure she

was safe. Because if she was being underutilized, like Roman said, then he wanted to see if she was any good at coding. It had to be better than some of the staff working in the coding department currently.

Nicole stepped closer, lowering her voice conspiratorially. “But Luca, it’s only a stupid receptionist.” She leaned in slightly, almost as if trying to share a secret. “I don’t think you want anyone around who’s… unfit for this environment.”

“I would understand if they were someone of importance, but the woman is a nobody,” she said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Just keeping you informed, as I have been here longer and now have a good understanding of who is worth keeping and trust me, she isn’t.” She took a step back, as if distancing herself from the tension. coming off him.
