Chapter 86: Overslept
Last Updated:
2021-08-12 07:00:52Finally, it’s Wednesday again.
Wednesday——nothing special, except for being the day seated right in the middle of the week.
I used to cherish Wednesday a lot, because it means we are halfway through the week, and we’ll make it to the weekend right after another half of it is done.
But now? Not so much.
I realize, as the secretary of Minerva’s CEO, I don’t really get to rest on weekends. All weekends are going to be as busy as my weekdays.
However, it seems a little different today. Or I’ll say, off.
This morning, as usual, I visited Juicy Punch and got myse

Quite a while after we hung up the phone, Jamie finally showed up in Minerva.He dressed up neatly, yet he hasn’t had time to deal with his hair.However, he doesn’t seem to have noticed it, he picks up his documents from his desk and walks out of his office.Although I would like this amusing moment of Jamie to be seen by the others, at least one person, so that we can joke about it sometimes. Yet, I don’t want myself to be blamed for not reminding him about his undone hair after he figured people were laughing at it.Therefore, before anyone can see him, I grab him from the back and pull him back into the office.Whereas, by being pulled

The time is twelve, Jamie is having his lunch at his desk. He is eating the grape wine lamb and porcini lasagna I got from Coffee Bloom. Of course, I got him his favorite ristretto too.However, as I am watching from the side, I see him laying on his hand over his stomach all the time.I seldom see him do this.Driven by concern and curiosity, with curiosity taking up the most part of course, I ask, “Jamie, are you okay? Are you having a stomach ache?”Looking down and moody, Jamie gives a heavy sigh, “Kind of.”So he has a stomach ache. Luckily I didn&rsqu

Almost one and half hours have passed.I sit at my desk as I stare at Jamie’s office door.It is almost time for Jamie to head to the next meeting’s venue, I believe he’s well prepared by now. He should be coming out of that office anytime.Jamie is a punctual man, he doesn’t like to make people waste their time waiting for his arrival.However, even after a long while I’ve been staring at the door, Jamie hasn’t been seen stepping out of the office.And I am aware that he is not feeling well today. He has a stomach ache.Hence, as an attentive and caring secretar

I give my watch a glare, “It’s quarter past nine.” I read the time.“What!?” in shock, Jamie grips the blanket and yells at me in a higher pitch, “Chandelier! Why didn’t you wake me up!? I have a full schedule today!”Wow, that voice is very sharp for a man!Well anyway, it’s time for me to get used to his feminine qualities.Instead of yelling back at him like a girl, I choose to put up a smile.“Calm down, Jamie.” trying to soothe his temper, I explain, “I called and postponed the appointments, and they agreed to reschedule the appointments to next week.”

The sky gradually stained white, seeing the morning sunlight showering on my living room floor makes me realize I haven’t had a good sleep.It’s not like I’ve been overthinking about the betrayal thing, I was just looking for a solution to keep Jamie out of my mind.And guess what? I’ve managed to come up with one.Instead of naming that a solution, I’ll say that’s actually a person, and I’m going to meet her now, as per every morning.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨Morning at Juicy Punch, the counter is queued up as always.

I lean my ear on the door like the first time I did this——eavesdropping on their conversation.“Grow up, Jamie. Stop relying on dad. You’re enough pampered.”It was a man who talked, and I found his voice rather familiar.I think I’ve heard him talking to Jamie once before, that day when I saw him——a tall, buff man wearing a classic black suit, a burgundy tie, and a Patek Philippe Geneve Twenty~4.He said something about ‘dad’.Doesn’t that make the man Jamie’s brother?

After I open the paper bag and place Jamie’s breakfast on his desk, I point at the door with my thumb and raise my eyebrows.“Was that your brother?” I asked.Jamie nods, sitting back on his desk, “Yes, indeed. You must have seen him all over the internet, the newspapers, the magazines. He’s the future president of Peyton Group.”Right, like I did. I grew up skipping all news related to Peyton Group.Jamie picks the fork and spoon up, ready to tuck into the lasagna.But before that, “Chandelier, take the following days off.”“What?” all of

The day is peaceful. I stand by Jamie’s side like a standing lamp while Jamie is busy getting his job done before he leaves for the three days trip to New York City he planned.He hasn’t been walking out of the office though. He didn’t even dare to walk close to it.While there, it is an hour to lunch time when Jamie suddenly suggests, “Should I call Henry before I leave?”Henry?Jamie wants to call Henry?By any chance that the Henry he is referring to, is, “Henry Nosrevi?”Keeping his eyes and pen on his paper, Jamie

After a few minutes travelling in my red Lexus LS 500, Jamie and I finally arrived at our destination. After Jamie gets out of the car, I pick up a red velvet box from the glove box and put it in my coat. I then catch her up from behind. It is a big house built next to the beach. The house is fully furnished and renovated. It is ready for people to move in and live in it. I am the architect who designed and built the house, however I haven’t decided what to name it yet. Well, anyway… I first bring Jamie through the garden on the beach, I open the door with the key and we enter the house.

April 2023. Two years later. It is spring in Chicago again, a time when the florals come back to life again, well so do the people. The warm breeze brings the voile curtains up, allowing the morning sunlight to shower on my white bed through the French windows. That is when I am woken up by the sound of this hectic city. I stand on my balcony in my robe, yawning and stretching my body at the same time. “Good morning, Chicago.” I take a glance at the scenery of the city from the top of this building, I see people and vehicles all over the streets, everyone is ready for work and vac

Air flow, machines, birds chirping, and a woman sobbing… Those are the first things that come into my ear when I gradually return to my consciousness.They sound really vague at first, but turn louder after as I slowly open my eyes too.There, I find myself in a ward bed. My face is covered with an oxygen mask. My arms are surrounded by tubes and wires.And, I see someone burying her head in the bed, holding my hand tightly in hers.“I’ve lost our baby… I can’t lose you too, Henry… Please wake up...” she sobbed.Slowly, I raise my other hand, and lay it on her head. I caress her gently, stroking her hair th

Did you forget someth-”However, just when the door is fully opened, the face of the person standing in front of the door is revealed in front of me.It is a lady in black attire, with a bike helmet on her head, her black hair draped over her shoulder, and she holds a knife in her hand.It isn’t Mr. Hurlock, it is...“Hi there, Henry.”“Melonie Myers…”
A Key to the CEO's Heart Chapter 210: Missing Heirloom
It is almost midnight when I sit in my living room alone, waiting for Jamie’s butler to show up. It is always a quiet night like this that makes people feel lonely, isn’t it? Tears ooze out of my eyes abruptly, they trickle down my face one after another. No matter how many times I wipe them off, no matter how hard I try to stop myself from crying, my tears just won’t stop. I cover my face with my palms to cover my sound, I sob as quietly as I can, not hoping to wake Jamie up. I try to stop myself by clearing my head, yet every quiet moment like this keeps reminding me of the fact that we’ve just lost our child. Our dear child… If you can hear us,
A Key to the CEO's Heart Chapter 209: Jamie's Decision
The accident and our loss hasn’t been too kind on us, especially for Jamie. The impact of losing our child hits her heart and mental condition so badly. She had been crying for days, she didn’t eat much. She fainted a few times. She became so tired and weak, that the doctor kept her in the hospital for another few days.Tonight, Jamie is just sitting on the bed, sometimes leaning on my shoulder, imagining how different our life would be if everything never happened, how our life would be if we hadn’t lost our child.What gender will it be? Will it be a little princess? How heavy will she weigh when she is born? Will she look more like Jamie or me? What name will we name her? How will we celebrate her first birthday? How excited will we be when she says her first word or takes her first step? Will she first say mommy
A Key to the CEO's Heart Chapter 208: Gone
“Jamie…”Not knowing how much time has passed, I gradually woke up when I heard myself mumbling.I first feel my senses are unblocked, just like when one who sinks in the ocean for a long time gets back up from the water.The next thing I feel... is my body covered in pain, especially my head.“Umm…”Holding the pain back, slowly, I try to open my eyes.It is the moment when I open my eyes again, bright light seeps into my eyes. I squint into the light, my eyes take quite a while to adapt to the light.
