Business Deal With The Hot CEO Chapter 120
“Hey, Sweet.” Alex greeted her on his end.“Morning Alex.” Clara responded. She didn’t know why she bit her nails all of a sudden. It was definitely shyness.It was also awkward from Alex’s end. Both of them behave like someone was making them uncomfortable.“I didn’t want to wake you before leaving.” Alex said, not even knowing what to say.“Not like you have ever woken me before leaving.” Clara said. She knew the conversation was just awkward.“Yeah, you are right.”“Uhm, have you had breakfast?”“No, I just woke up.”“That means I was timing correctly. I should win the best husband of the year.” Alex teased her.Then they held the phone to their ear for a while, not saying anything, just smiling.Alex didn’t want the call to end, likewise Clara. He hadn’t realised until now that his wife was a full package.“How about your discussion with Henry?” Alex asked.“I will be goimg to my Dad’s house today.”Then while they were on call. His secretary came to notify him about a meeting.“S

Clara wanted to stand and walk out. She had never the intention of doing this.But she needed to hold on, because of Alex, because of Henry.The people who made her father despite her were no longer around, so she needed to forgive him. “It’s fine, Dad. After all, we are family.”The joy Mr. Roberts had knew no bound, ever since Elizabeth and Selene left, he had been lonely. No one to take care of him, staying in the house alone was hard and boring.Clara didn’t forget the reason she came, it was after her father was done that she began to drink the coffee he brought for her.“So why did you come home all of a sudden?”Clara kept mute, she couldn’t say the real reason she was here, but she found a smart answer immediately.“Mum would be happy I came.”It was the moment she mentioned mum that she had realized how bad her family abandoned her. She doesn’t want to think of the fact that her own father didn’t attend the burial, or the fact that her stepmother hid her mum’s corpse and ext

Clara had to come up with something. But she was fidgeting.“I know I wouldn’t get to enter Selene’s room if she was here so…” She paused when she noticed her statement had just convinced her father.“I have a meeting close by. I don’t know, will you still be here when I’m back?” Mr. Jackson Robert asked, this was the reason he looked for her.“Sure Dad, maybe I will sleep or wait for you to be back,” Clara replied.In her mind, this was a very good opportunity. Her heart had almost skipped thinking she was caught.After Mr. Roberts left, Clara breathed out. Maybe she could now relax and keep in touch with Henry.After everything, the only reasonable thing she could get was the old laptop. Here was not the place to go through it, so she packaged it and went further to check other things in the house.She wondered where Elizabeth and Selene had kept their phones.Later in the afternoon, Mr. Roberts was back. From the look of things, he was expecting that Clara would spend the night her

Clara went to the room where she had kept the box her mum had given her. She went through everything over and over again, it was only the precious items that were there.What exactly was her Dad talking about then?She stayed admiring everything one after the other. She had money now. If only her mum had told her about this earlier, they would have sorted her bills.As she was looking at those. Her phone beeped. It was Henry. She peeked through the window. She could see his car, and he had arrived to pick up the laptop.Clara quickly arranged the items and kept themSafe. Then she picked up the laptop and headed outside the building.“Here, there is no password to it.” She said, handing the laptop to Henry.What Clara had told Henry over the phone meant she didn’t trust him. So Henry didn’t need to move with the laptop.“Hold on Clara. I’m checking it here.” He said and tried to come down the vehicle.But Clara looked at her wrist, it was going to be the same time that Alex would be

As the water poured on them, they could only admire each other. Then they suddenly started laughing at themselves. No one had said anything, they were just laughing.“You are my heart,” Alex said, which made Clara even laugh more.Weeks ago, they had just seen that movie in a cinema, but now, here they are, with a love story greater than the one in the movie.“You are my heart,” Clara repeated and smiled.After a while, they began to bathe. It was a warm bath and soon, they were out.Ever since Alex started living with Clara, they had never been together in the sit-out where he had the pool.“Let’s stay in the pool area.” He told Clara as they were both dressing up.“Okay.” There was nothing much to say than to agree. Clara can’t deny the fact that she likes the atmosphere.After putting on a simple home dress, he began helping Clara pack her hair. Then his phone rang.“Boss,”“Andrew, did you find anything?” Alex curiously asked and Andrew forwarded him a document.Because of the atm

Annie wore a protected expression. It was an indifferent expression, she wouldn’t let them guilt trip her or make her look like owed them anything.They are the ones to be grateful that she still considered them useful.So with an indifferent look, she called. “Mrs. Elizabeth, it’s been a while. You don’t look so good.”Selene smirked her face at the hearing of that. She felt like slapping Annie, but what could she do?Not when she hadn't heard why Annie came to see them, even Elizabeth was too ill to say anything.So Annie continued to speak. “It’s been hard trying to get you guys out, even when I was trying. You still went ahead to betray me. But it’s all good.” Annie would use this to gaslight them into thinking she really cared all along.And it worked, Elizabeth and Selene frowned their faces. They had always thought Annie abandoned them, but she was out there looking for means, and they betrayed her.“Thank Goodness I had to come up with something when Alex confronted me. All be

The assistant quickly jumped out of shock, he knew his boss had just stepped out and never knew he would return soon.He had actually been gazing at that whenever Henry wasn’t looking, but this time his scream had attracted Alex.“I’m so sorry boss.” He fell to Henry’s feet and began pleading.“Nudes, seriously. I’m highly disappointed in you! Leave my sight this minute and never show again!” Henry roared. He was really angry.While they were trying to find something serious, his assistant was busy going through Selene’s naked pictures in a folder.His anger wasn’t necessarily because of the pictures, but because they were doing something serious at the moment. Finding evidence was that important.Moreover, he had just remembered Clara’s words not to tamper with any other thing on the system.The assistant was still on the floor. He knew his boss was really angry, but he wasn’t anticipating him to fire him. For him to never show up again means he was fired.So he began pleading but He

“Huh.” Clara’s face had many expressions on it. The way her eye twitched showed she was incredible.“It’s a joke baby. Does it hurt?” Alex soothed her, bringing his head lower to confirm her reply.“Yes, it does,” Clara replied shyly. She couldn’t look at him In the face discussing that, so she looked away.“I know it does, baby, I am sorry.”“You don’t have to apologize, Alex.” “Yeahhhhh.” He gulped, “I will take you in.”They had been outside for such a long time that they didn’t even realize it was so cold. Alex carried Clara like a baby.The household workers had all gone to bed, yet they were alert, cos they knew it was weird to Sleep when their boss was still awake.Immediately they heard a noise, they woke up.

Alex put a call to Andrew. He told him a wedding was happening today and he should start sending out cards to people. If possible, to all the guests invited yesterday.“Are you sure this would work out, let's do proper planning,” Clara said, afraid it might turn out a flop.“Today is the day and we don't have a dress yet, even Sophie as the maid of honor doesn't.” Clara expressed more worry.“Have you forgotten who your husband is? You don't have to worry. Everything will be ready in minutes. Let’s go home.”Alex managed to convince Clara that it was possible and the three left for Alex’s mansion to get prepared.“There is an important person I would love to invite,” Clara declared in the car.“And who's that?”“My Dad.”Without much questioning, Alex instructed Andrew to send an invite to Mr. Roberts too.

As Alex stepped out, he began to call Clara’s line but she wasn't picking up.He had called more than twenty times now and there was no answer. He knows this was too sudden and the only thing he can do is to send a message.Maybe if she received a text from him, it would give a clue of what the call was about.Alex composed a few messages, deeply apologizing and telling Clara how he loves and cares about her.“Clara, your phone has been ringing for a while.” Sophia, who was bothered tried to wake Clara, but this time, she was truly asleep.Sophia made a turn to head back to the living room, but when Clara’s phone rang again.

She tried to wake Clara one more time but she was deep asleep.So the next time the phone rang, Sophia picked it up.“Sweet, you need to forgive me. I will explain in person. Where are you?” Alex asked,

Alex finally opened up to his mother in front of Jane after much confrontation. She was his mum and there was nothing more to hide.“Why did you hide this from me? I am your mother, Alex. Imagine we did not have someone like Jane. What would have happened to our family’s image?” Mrs. Peters calmly questioned her son.Jane hadn't said a word, she was just so happy that everything was working in her favor. So she continued to act naive.“Mrs. Peters, you don't have to blame Alex, I guess he didn't want you to be hurt.” Jane feigned and Mrs. Peters replied to her.“And what about now? Do you know how hurt I am now?”“I’m sorry, mum. It's okay.” Jane embraced Mrs. Peters and that calmed her down a bit.“Son, your father must not know of this. This should be between the three of us. Annie is out of the way and you have seen how slutty that girl you choose was. You have to marry Jane as soon as possible.”Immediately Mrs. Peters said the last word, Alex looked at his mum and she nodded at h

Mrs. Peters didn't need any driver or escort to follow them around. She did the driving while Jane stayed beside her in the passenger's seat.Jane truly wondered what they were going to do and how Alex was going to react to this. “I'm sorry, Alex. I had to do this for us.” Jane prayed silently in her heart.They arrived at Alex’s mansion and learned that he wasn't at home but at work. Mrs. Peters was prepared for wherever he might be, so they started heading to his office.In the office, the only person Alex practically spoke to was Andrew.

Jane slightly nodded in affirmation. However, when Mrs. Peters asked her what sickness Alex had, she couldn't say a word.There was no way she would tell them that Alex was impotent, what if Alex ended up hating her the more?But Mrs. Peters rather surprised her.

After Mrs Peters recognized it was Jane. She was elated, though she didn’t let that reflect in her voice.Soon, they already planned to meet up. Mrs. Peters invited Jane to come over to the house. It wasn’t her first time, it used to be a typical thing then.“Ok, Mrs. Peters. I will just get prepared right away.” Jane replied.“Expecting you soon,” Mrs. Peters replied before ending the call. It was kind of off the way Jane was at her beck and call, but it was a good thing anyway.Back in those days, Mrs. Peters didn’t hate Jane, but she didn’t love her so much either.
