I Won't Be In On Monday (The Annoying Hot Bosses Club Book 3)

by J.S. Cooper

I’m extremely tired. And when I’m tired, I’m irritated.

Dear Mr. Parker, I would like to inform you of the job duties on the official paperwork I signed in the HR office when

I accepted the position as your legal assistant. Just in case you aren’t aware, those duties don’t include arranging your dates, picking up

your dry-cleaning, be...

Remington Parker is my boss, the man

I love to hate, the man I love to dream about, but he is also the man who inspires characters in the books I write late at night. You'd think Remington

inspired the hero of my story because he is one of the best-looking men I've ever seen in my life. But unfortunat...

"Juniper, did you send out the roses yet?" The man himself stops by my desk, and I

look up quickly, my face going red as I slam the computer screen down. I nod slightly at his question. Say something, Juniper. Tell him

to order his own roses. Order your own roses, asshole. “I believe so,” I mumble, and the inner warri...

"I placed orders for all three of your..." I pause and attempt not to roll my eyes. "Women friends." I nod as he grins. "A

dozen roses will be sent to each one of them. Was there anything else you needed me to do before I leave for the day?"

"Yeah, I was wond...

“I don’t have any magic, sir, and I’m not really sure how you expect me to...”

“I know it’s a lot to ask, but Penelope Ridiculo is in town.” He pauses as if waiting for me to gawk in admiration.

I stare at him blankly, and...

"You do know Penelope Ridiculo, right?" "I'm sorry, I don't." Her name sounds ridiculous, though, I think...

He doesn't even know me well enough to know

whether I am gay or straight. I'm offended. Not by the fact that he thinks I could be a lesbian, but by the fact that he doesn't know, and he doesn't

even care to actually inquire so that he can get an answer. I am annoyed with this man. "I'll try my best...

"No," he says, walking to his office. "I'm going to be heading out in a little bit. I have a partners’ meeting wi...

"I'm a bachelor, a man of the millennium. I cannot focus on just

one woman." He pauses and glances down at me, a furrow in his brows. "Wait, does that make me sound like a dick?"

I want to say yes, bu...

No men look at me. I'm a bit of a plain Jane. I've been that way my entire

life, and, for the most part, I'm okay with it.

For once in my life, I want a man to look at me differently.
