They have known each other for eight years and their mutual understanding and loyalty are the basis of their excellent work relationship… At least until Christmas comes.
This year, Jason has decided to spend the holidays organized by Caroline at a luxury resort in Cervinia with his latest conquest Miss Chihuahua, but (thanks to Caroline’s hand) his love affair gets difficult and Jason decides to offer that holiday to his secretary.
Unluckily Miss Chihuahua has no intention to give up the journey, so she will get Jason to leave all the same, without imagining they won’t be alone at the resort!

CHRISTMAS WITH MY BOSS
Caroline is the personal assistant of one of the brightest lawyers in the City of London, Jason Walsh.
They have known each other for eight years and their mutual understanding and loyalty are the basis of their excellent work relationship… At least until Christmas comes.
This year, Jason has decided to spend the holidays organized by Caroline at a luxury resort in Cervinia with his latest conquest Miss Chihuahua, but (thanks to Caroline’s hand) his love affair gets difficult and Jason decides to offer that holiday to his secretary.
Unluckily Miss Chihuahua has no intention to give up the journey, so she will get Jason to leave all the same, without imagining they won’t be alone at the resort!

“Please, Caroline, turn down your voice, I’ve got a terrible headache” Jason lamented painfully, laying his head on the desk full of booklets and documents.
“I’m just listing your engagements for today. You have to meet Sandra Foster in the conference room in less than an hour, while you are due at the court in a couple of hours for the Bradshaw vs. Haton case. I hope you have studied the final address you got ready on Friday, since you said you wanted to close the case”.
“Oh God, my head is aching so much I can’t even remember where I put the documents”
“You’re resting on them” answered his assistant coldly, prepared not to be moved. She was used to her boss’s crazy nights and binges after five years. It was quite usual to see him arrive at the office every Monday with one of his headaches. Even if she tried to avoid meetings and conferences in court at the beginning of the week, she didn’t always succeed.
“My head is bursting…”.
“This is the third time you have said that… If you are thinking of behaving like this in court, I must tell Michael Bradshaw he is done for”.
“Caroline, you are heartless. I’m suffering…”.
“Like every Monday. Jason Ezechiele Walsh, you are thirty-five and nobody has still taught you the existence of non-alcoholic drinks to avoid drunkenness?” Caroline scolded him, calling him by his full name and knowing how much that annoyed him.
“I don’t like that bitter irony in your voice”.
“Then sack me”.
“I would have already done so, if I had time to loose in long and boring job interviews to find a new assistant with your competences”.
“Actually you already know you will never find anyone as good as me” she replied defiantly.
Jason finally lifted his head from the desk to address her one of his fascinating and provoking looks by which he had got dozens of women fall in love with him.
“You are right” he admitted with a large smile. Jason couldn’t really get rid of Caroline. She was the only one who understood him just by a glance and he completely relied on her. In fact, when he left the law firm Bronson & Bronson where he had met Caroline who was then working as secretary for him and another member, he asked her to follow him to Sailman & Baker, one of the most famous law firms in the City, to go on working together.
Five years had passed since then and neither Jason nor Caroline had ever regretted this choice. They were like one soul and they knew everything about each other. However, there had never been anything personal and intimate between them, apart from some skirmishes between confidents and they had never met after working time, which sometimes covered more than ten hours daily.
“I’m always right” declared rapidly Caroline, who loved pretending to be superior.
