Beneath Her Bastard Boss

Chapter 20

Blair watched Roman’s door, wondering what was going on inside between them. She heard Roman’s laugh and then nothing for a long time. Suddenly, the door was swung open to reveal a clearly upset Jessica. She didn’t say anything, just stomped across the room towards the exit.

“Goodnight Mrs. Kingston.” Blair thought it polite to say to the woman.

She was shocked by Roman’s next words. “The only Mrs. Kingston is my mother. If Jessica insists on keeping my name, it’s Ms. Kingston if she really is to up herself to be called by her first name.”

This only seemed to ignite Jessica’s temper, and she gave a small squeal and left the offices.

Roman was on his mobile within seconds. “Peters, make sure one of your team sees Jessica leaves the building with zero fuss, please.” Roman put his

Blair had so many questions but kept them to herself. She didn’t have the right to question him about his ex wife. Not now, maybe not ever. “I’m ready to leave but Roman…. I should have brought this up before. We can’t be seen leaving together, not if we want to keep it quiet.”

She could see Roman wasn’t happy with her idea. But he knew how she felt about people finding out about them. Not yet.

“Fine, whatever. But you will have one of the security team follow you to make sure you’re safe,” Roman conceded ungracefully, but added his own
