My Boss's First Love Comes BackChapter 1 Why Is the Boss Here?

After work, I let loose, going out with my best friend for food, drinks, dancing, and karaoke.

But when I woke up the next morning, my throat was killing me, my body ached, and I felt completely weak and cold.

I regretted it all, tears streaming down my face, blaming the charming guy at the bar for my poor choices.

How could I get so drunk and lose my coat? Wearing just a tank dress in this cold weather – talk about bold!

I grabbed my phone and texted my boss.

[I’m not coming in. Don’t look for me.]

[Taking a sick day. Contact Assistant Bryce for anything urgent.]

I sent the message and tossed my phone aside, not realizing the next message hadn’t gone through before my phone shut off.

Once I managed to drag myself up, I rummaged through the medicine cabinet and took my temperature. Great, almost hitting 104!

Thank goodness I woke up; otherwise, I might have burned my brain out.

After taking some medicine, I lay back in bed, feeling groggy.

In a haze, I vaguely heard a knocking sound.

Irritated, I sat up to listen more closely.

Seriously? Someone was knocking at my door?

Who comes over during the day when everyone’s at work?
