Beneath Her Bastard Boss

Blair bit her lip. She was feeling anxious about going home with Roman and concerned about the logistics of getting to his place without anyone from the company finding out. It was late, so there wouldn’t be many people around, but the possibility of being seen was still a major risk. She had researched public transport options online and discovered that there was no direct bus service in that direction.

Keeping her relationship with Roman a secret was important to her, and she definitely didn’t want anyone knowing that she was staying at his place. In hindsight, she realized she should have discussed the plan with him before now.

The office phone buzzed on her desk. Lifting it, Blair put it to her ear.

“Blair, I was about to leave for the day, but Jessica Kingston is here to see Roman.” Kara let her know straight away.

That shocked her. In the two years she had worked here, she had only met Jessica once. “Hold one second, Kara.” Blair said before putting her on hold and ringing through to Roman.

“Roman speaking.” Came Roman’s voice.

“Your ex wife is here to see you.” Blair let him know without emotion.

“Fuck, I wonder… Never mind, have her wait in your office for a few moments.” Roman wondered what the hell Jessica was doing here. He hadn’t even seen her in almost a year.

Their lawyers handled all communication, and he faithfully paid her alimony every month. It was odd how he had just been discussing her with Blair, and now she was suddenly here. Almost like a bad omen. What he hadn’t mentioned to Blair was the fact that Jessica had cheated on him with a man who

was once his friend.

Roman picked up his mobile to call his lawyer. Maybe she would have some insight to why Jesica was here now.
