Loving The Billionaire, Book One: The New Boss

By J.M. Cagle

Courtney had fallen into a routine. After her divorce, she had thrown herself into her work – as an assistant to the CEO, Anderson, of a company worth billions. Having worked there for ten years, she had fallen into a comfortable pattern.

Yet Anderson’s birthday party changes of all that. When tragedy strikes, Courtney finds herself getting use to a new billionaire boss, Anderson’s son, Alex.

Alex’s promotion leaves the family shaken. George, the eldest brother, had felt confident it was going to be him. Alex is cold and prone to being stubborn. Courtney finds herself torn between missing the way things used to be and struggling to grow used to Alex and his new ways.

As she tries to find her footing with her new boss, Courtney quickly finds out that not everything is what it seems when it comes to this billionaire family and their new CEO. As she tries to do the best at her job, she finds herself being tugged in different directions.

Courtney wonders if she will be able to crack the shell of Alex’s cold exterior. Had Anderson truly made a mistake in promoting Alex over George? Where will her alliances fall in this battle for company control?

Chapter One

Do you think it’ll be George?

It has to be. It is clear this isn’t a regular birthday party.

Courtney tuned out. Frankly, she was sick of hearing about what was going to happen at this birthday party. Anderson was turning eighty and she thought it was a time to celebrate instead of wondering if he was going to be announcing his retirement and the new CEO of the company.

She took a sip of her drink and slide her sunglasses back down on the bridge of her nose. The party for Anderson’s birthday was massive. His entire backyard had been turned into a paradise. There were wild animals around the grounds for the guests to interact with. The pool was open for business and family members let their kids go swimming in the tropical themed pool. There were two mini-bars set up plus a buffet underneath a tent that offered a respite from the heat.

It wasn’t Courtney’s first time being here at Anderson’s home. She had been his assistant for over ten years. Having just turned thirty-four herself, she couldn’t help but reflect on having been working for Anderson this long. He had always been a kind boss, going so much as giving her some time off after her marriage crumbled two years ago. Hearing everyone say that he was going to announce his retirement today bothered her more than she was letting on.

Anderson had five kids of his own, produced through his marriage of over fifty years to his wife Susan. The oldest wasn’t here – Rebecca was seen as the black sheep of the family. She had always hated their wealth and was currently living in India doing who knew what.

Next came George, who seemed primed and ready to take over the CEO position. Currently he was going around the party, making sure to mingle with everyone as if he was already CEO. Anderson had always seemed to be grooming him for the position. It seemed only natural that since Rebecca wanted nothing to do with the business that George would overtake the position. George was in his forties and had a firm hand around his wife, as if they were the perfect family. Courtney knew better, however.

After that came Alexander. She didn’t seem anywhere. To be honest, Courtney didn’t care for Alex.
