Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 447

Flavian’s POV

I knocked on Bonfim's office door and entered. He was sitting behind his desk reading a case file and looked up as soon as I walked in, greeting me in good spirits.

"Good morning, Flavian. What's on the agenda today?" Bonfim asked cheerfully. Like me, he loved his job.

"Chief, I need a favor," I said, knowing only he could help me. Bonfim got up, went to the coffee maker, and poured two cups, placing one in front of me.

"Sit down and tell me about it. If I can help, I would be glad to." That was what he had been doing since we met - always helping me.

"My father is coming with the mission of getting me kicked out of the police force, and it seems he has already talked to the Secretary of Public Safety," I said in one breath.

"And why does your father want that?" Bonfim was meticulous and always wanted to know the reasons behind things.

"Because he wants me to work at his company."

"Hmm. From what I know, your family is quite powerful, my friend."

"Did you do your homework, Bonfim?" I had never talked much about my family with him, or with anyone for that matter.

"Of course I did. I looked into your background as soon as my team informed me that the chief from Bellwood would be collaborating with our investigation. When I invited you here, I already knew everything about you. And I'm sure you did the same regarding me when we met. We're cops, we only surround ourselves with those we trust," Bonfim stated matter-of-factly.

"As they say, it takes one to know one," I laughed with my colleague who had become a friend, and he laughed with me. Obviously, I had also looked into who Chief Bonfim was. "Can you help me with this?"

"Yes, I can. I'll call the Secretary, but he might want something in return. He's an old fox," he chuckled.

"As long as it's not illegal, I'll do anything," I declared firmly.

"I'll let you know as soon as I have confirmation," Bonfim said, and I stood up to leave. "But I want something in return too."

"Come on, Bonfim, are we friends or not?" I looked at him as he was laughing. Bonfim was too laid-back for a police chief, always joking around, but I liked that about him.

"That's exactly why I want something. It's nothing major, I'll tell you later," he was still laughing, and I was almost certain he was going to dump some boring investigation or holiday shift on me.

"Damn it!" I complained. "Teaching, Bonfim? Hell, I don't have the patience to teach anyone anything."

"That's not true. I'm sure you're teaching your little one plenty of things," he laughed.

"Ah, my little one is different, Bonfim! I'd teach her anything," I said with a grin from ear to ear.

"Look at that, just mention Manu, and he gets all smiley."

"Yeah, my little one makes me smile!" My smile grew bigger but faded when I thought about those classes. "But these classes will take away precious time I have with my little one!"

"Relax, they'll all be in the morning and only twice a week. As soon as someone else is qualified, you can say goodbye to the academy. But the Secretary has a point - as long as you're cooperative and he can justify your importance to the police force, you become untouchable, your father's power won't reach you."

"He's going to be furious when he finds out his connections didn't get their way this time." I found it amusing, thinking about how my father would show up ready for a fight.

And sure enough, when I returned from lunch, he was sitting there waiting for me, all ready for battle. But I was just as ready as he was! I wasn't going to give in or be shaken by his attacks.
