The Bet: A Grumpy Boss Romance

Hannah


Sarah, Faye, and Madison have all been fired by the same boss!

And now, there’s a thousand dollars on the table if… I, who have never ever been fired before, can escape being fired by this obnoxious, arrogant, perfectionist monster of a CEO.

I’m not into pranks or childish bets, but after a few Cosmopolitans that thousand dollar cash pile just sitting there on the table, uncared for and unclaimed, amongst the empty cocktail glasses, starts winking at me.

My brain starts seriously asking, ‘Why not? You could do with the money.’

Suddenly my mouth opens and I’m saying, “Fine, I’ll do it.”

I only realize what a grave mistake I’ve made when I arrive for work.

They hadn’t exaggerated.

He is as handsome as an avenging Greek God, but he is just HORRIBLE.
Totally, completely, and absolutely horrible.
The man is grumpy, rude, and impossible to please.

Imagine a boss who takes exception to your perfume, or acts like a dick about the way you dress.
Now times that by ten.

I was no longer looking at winning a thousand dollars, but losing said amount.

Then one crazy night happens and everything changes between us.

Just like that all bets are off.

I don’t care about the thousand dollars anymore. I just never want to get fired.

And then… I learn the real reason why Sarah, Faye, and Madison got fired.
