Contract Marriage with My CEO Boss

Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Aaron and Maine stayed the night with Katrina and when the woke the following morning, she was sandwiched between the two of them on her hed: their much longer legs and arms entangled with hers. She groaned, pushing their arms away from her torso. Neither of

them moved, and she remembered that they both had way more alcohol than she did last night.

She staggered to her feet and then stumbled just as much to her bathroom. She stripped her clothes off and took a smoldering shower, taking extra time to enjoy how the water was bringing her body back to life slowly

As soon as she was done, she dried off and put on a pair of comfy clothes, not planning on going anywhere inday She brushed her teeth and then stepped out of her bathroom. Her eyes trailed to her bed, and she shook her head when she found Aaron and Maine stall fast asleep.

She grabbed her phone from her nightstand and took it off silent mode. She had a few miscellaneous notifications that she cleared and a text inessage. A text message from Kylan that he had sent nearly twenty minutes ago.

She ignored her suddenly racing heart and opened the message.

"The painting is rather heavy, 1 can help you hang it properly so that it doesn't fall and cause damage to your wall or flooring, if you would like Kylan texted.

She stared at her suddenly ton-bright phone screen in the dimness of her bedroom. He was offering to come back just to help her hang a painting. Did she want him to come back? She was conflicted, just like she was with everything else concerning Kylan these days. she fell b

wake up"

"They're asleep in your bed?

They are, yes. We always share a bed when they stay the night here."

"You slept in the same bed as them last night"

Her eyebrows furrowed, her fingers hovering over her phone's keyboard. He couldn't possibly be worried that anything more than sleeping happened, right?

Yes, I did. Sir. We all slept there.

"Aaron is not yet married, is he?"

Ob. That's exactly what he was worried about. Against ber better judgment, part of her wanted to mess with him, just a little bit. Just enough that he would know she was annoyed with him

Tve only ever kissed him twice, and both times were ages ago. I'm certainly not Maine's type, anyway. She's straight."

She wasn't lying, not technically. She had kissed Aaron twice in the past, but both times had only happened when she was drunk off her asses. There had never been anything when she was sober, but she wasn't about to tell Kylan that. Not right now, anyway. agree, Katrina?"

She snorted, actually snorted at his words. He was going to talk to her about breaching the contract after he himself had done just that. The was incredible, and she only felt more annoyed because of it

She was at a new crossroads. She could either find the courage to bring up what happened after the masquerade, or she could choose to ignore his hypocrisy. She wasn't sure which route to go, not when she had so much time left for her contract "Nothing happened, Sir. We watched movies anal then we moved to my bed and fell asleep. If anything they probably groped each other after asleep."

She read his words several times, her mind guang blank. He was acting so... so, possessive. And for what reason! She wasn't his, not truly. Not in all the ways it would actually count. She was his employer, and he was her boss. Her boss who had his tongue down her throat a couple of days ago. But that was a technicality she was willing to overlook right now. She didn't like the way Kylan was making her feel. It wasn't fair of him. "With all due respect, r, I didn't do anything wrong or even remotely inappropriate. Aaron and Maine are in a relationship, and you not really.

Her eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat, which only annoyed her more. What the hell was he playing at? She didn't want him to come over. Dad she? Was that why she told him about Aaron and Maine, in the first place! She couldn't possibly be that ridiculous, could she
