Accidentally Flirting with the CEO (Whirlwind Romance Series) Read Online Free PDF

they discuss the e-mail? Her conduct? Her future?
Would they change their mind? Should she start hunting for another job and cut
her losses? But the trouble was…she just couldn’t. Not even if she wanted to.
This was where she belonged. Where she felt comfortable. Where she could shine.
And most of all. The feelings she had for Jess, as inappropriate as it was,
were real.
    That was the trouble.
    But she was ever so cognizant of his past troubles. Did she
just add fuel to the fire that was burning out from the last scandal?
    Whatever they decide…she had a sinking feeling that nothing
at TLC Advertising Agency would be the same again. Especially her relationship
with her sexy boss, Jess.
     
     

CHAPTER 5
     
    Alexa felt a presence outside her office cubicle. She lifted
her head slowly to look up.
    Her heart stopped when Jess appeared in the doorway.
Dripping with charm, dangerously handsome and ever so annoyed in his facial
expression.
    Alexa’s mind went numb.
    “Oh…um…Jess. I didn’t see you there.” The words caught in her
throat. Her entire body tensed up.
    Jess paced briefly before settling his gaze on Alexa. She
felt her stomach squeeze. She wanted to say something. Anything. Apologize. But
humiliation stung her too much to respond in her defence. She braced herself for
the worse.
    “We need to talk, Alexa.” Jess’s voice was emotionless.
Unreadable.
    She was toast. She knew it then. Why did she even bother
coming into the office that morning?
    “Jess—”
    Before she could finish he held up his hand to silence her.
    “Not here. Meet me in my office in ten minutes.” He paused
then drew in a deep breath. As if he were going to say more but stopped
himself.
     
    Ten tortuous minutes later, Alexa was in front of Jess in
his corner wall-to-wall window office with the breathtaking view. The sun
beamed inside fully, but there was nothing sunshiny about what he had to do
now. Confront Alexa on this potentially damaging e-mail.
    As she sat motionless before him, her beautiful brown eyes
gazed down on his desk. Waiting. For what? A verdict? What would his decision
be? At this point, he was the only one in the office, at least that was what he
wanted to believe, who had information about this e-mail. Should he just forget
it and pretend it never happened? That his eyes never scanned those seductive
words? Or should he just confront her and get it out of the way? The
inevitable.
    Face it, Jess. You’re just as attracted to her as she is to
you. What are you waiting for? Don’t kid yourself. Hotter than a fire hazard,
huh?
    Well this e-mail was an occupational health hazard—a
potential career killer for him and for her. But not if he could help it. The
million dollar question was—could he help it?
    “Jess, I…” Alexa’s throat tightened as she sat finally
uttering a word. “I’m so sorry.”
    “Listen, I think we should just pretend it never happened.
Got it?” His words spoke one thing but his body was saying something else. His
erection tightened under his silky boxers. God, he wanted her. He wanted her
badly. Now.
    Alexa was caught off guard by his stoic manner. Was this
worse than she thought?
    Pretend it never happened?
    The words echoed in her mind like a ghostly presence. If
that wasn’t the ultimate insult. She immediately closed off emotionally.
    Did he really find her to be that repulsive? All of a
sudden, Alexa had no desire to be inches from Jess Tandon. Maybe he wasn’t
really all that, after all.
    Pretend it never happened? Her pulse
roared with fury. She tried to quiet the fumes spreading within her soul. She
wasn’t Miss America, but she wasn’t Misshapen, either!
     
    Jess, knew there would be no other way to deal with the
sexual urges between them than to just squash it there and then. He knew full
well where this could potentially lead to and he most certainly wasn’t going
there—again!
    A quick look at her flushed face as if someone had reached
out and slapped her
