Business Deal With The Hot CEO Chapter 21
After Clara sent that message, she had a little regret. She wished she could delete the message but that wasn’t possible as it was already late.She glanced at her phone at intervals. What was he doing? What is he going to reply to her?Clara waited for his reply and when she didn’t get one, she decided to just get done with her normal activities.Alex was going through a rough day at work so it would be nice of her to surprise him by shopping for a few things with the money Alex gave her even though she didn’t want to take it.Prepared, she told the maids that she would be out for some time and that they should take care of the house.Selene and Elizabeth have been coming up with a plan, while Selene looked for ways to make Clara fall prey, Elizabeth was looking for every means to bring the evidence like Alex told her.“Mum, everything in this house is empty. Let’s just go shopping, only then can we be relaxed and come up with something.”Mr. Roberts was always excluded from their co

Clara was stunned at how Elizabeth came to her rescue.She was initially shy about what to say. Everyone was gone aside from Elizabeth and Selene and the two friends.Was she going to thank Elizabeth for saving her first? Or was she going to acknowledge the young man's apology?In between her thoughts, the man spoke up again.“Hey, I know you are thinking, but believe me, I wasn't that serious,” he said. Clara looked at him and rolled her eyes. His friend, who was the person she bumped into initially, grinned and nodded for her to accept him.“It’s alright.” Clara rolled her eyes again. She then looked at Elizabeth and Selene.It was the best thing they had done for her in a while, Elizabeth acknowledging she was her daughter in public, she wasn't used to calling her mum but maybe she should just do it.“Thank you, Mum, Selene, thanks.” she winked at Selene.She doesn't even know what to do next. Should she continue her shopping? Or wait for someone to break the silence. The guys wer

Clara looked at him with perplexity. Why was he mean and sounded so profound? Also, if he was aware she was at the supermarket, why was he asking?“Yeah.. I wanted to get a few things but it didn't work out anymore.”“Okay,” Alex responded. The feeling of jealousy and mistrust was already all over him but he needed to control himself.Clara knew that all was not well but she was not able to figure out what it was.Before Alex came back, she had this eagerness to tell him everything that happened. But now that he is here, the zeal isn't there any longer. “How did it go at the office?” She finally asked, Alex mentioned that he had a lot of work to do.“Great,” Alex answered back, not even having a glance at her.Clara didn't know if she was overthinking but Alex was behaving unlike himself.Alex on his end didn't know how to go about everything. Is there nothing else she wants to tell me? If I didn't ask her about the supermarket, she wouldn't even tell me.“I got dinner.” Clara broke t

Annie Cooper was just walking up and down in her hotel room. Her heartbeat was almost loud. Is that bitch bigger than everyone? Why can't anybody do anything about it?Mrs. Peters wasn't doing anything. Same thing as Mr. Peters.

She would have been able to join hands with someone, but she knew no one.After speaking with an unrevealed identity on the phone. She crossed her legs and began sipping her wine and reading a magazine. Clara can only change her mind.

Clara knows her way around the office. It wasn't a very big company anyway. She would only move through that conference room to know if they were having a meeting.Unfortunately, no one was there, as she contemplated going back to the place she was asked to sit or keep walking around, she then bumped into someone.“Mr. Henry Brown?”Henry Brown appeared indifferent.“And?”Clara quickly recalled that she was meant to appear so formal.“I’m Clara Roberts and I am here for the interview by noon.”“Oh, come with me,” Henry replied coldly.Clara didn't know what the problem was, Henry was acting weird and she couldn't just point out what the problem was.Clara followed him into his office. He was going to interview her by himself. But she didn't even apply for a job before the message was sent so why does he act like he doesn't know what he was doing?“Why do you think you are fit for this job?” Henry began interviewing her.Clara didn't know how to respond. She had done it before, and ev

Alex stepped in majestically to the office, walking towards Clara.“Let’s go.”Clara couldn't say a word. Alex must have been so angry. However, Henry was smirking. You know that kind of evil smirk huh? How dare Alex barge into his office? Who does he think he is? Why did the receptionist let him enter?However, those at the reception recognized Alex Peters so he didn't even need to say anything to them.“Leave!” Henry Brown yelled, motioning his hands to the door.“I said Leave!” He repeated again.Alex giggled. “What? What will you do? Clara, let's go.” he turned to Clara again.Clara stood immediately. She didn't want the two men to fight. They acted so mean, they almost fought on the highway the other day because of her, and today again.The moment Clara stood to follow him. Henry intervened. “If you step out with him, consider yourself losing the job.”That made Clara halt but Alex was rather surprised. Why was she interested in a job when he had all the money?He tried to signa

Clara and Alex were already at the park for the picnic. Clara was carrying a basket filled with drinks, food, and snacks.Clara was wearing a floral long dress and a hat. It was evening so the hat was just for fashion. Andrew was also wearing a two-piece shirt and trousers. He wanted it to be as simple as.Anyone who saw them would mistake them as newlyweds or lovers, or are they? The sole purpose of this was to be open to each other and tell themselves all they needed to know.Alex had a lot of questions to ask her. Who Henry was to her? What her condition was and other things…“It’s young master Alex, young master.” A lady who seemed to be going from the park ran to Alex to hug him but Alex just pushed her out.She turned out disappointed looking maliciously at Clara, it was weird to see young master Alex with a lady and if possible, it shouldn't be her.The Lady tried to move closer again making some seductive moves but Alex issued a warning to her. “Don’t you dare?” Sadly, she le

Clara wasn’t sure she heard him well. She was still thinking about what she told Alex and how he must have been feeling about Henry. “Are you serious?” She asked. earlier she had lots of doubts but now, she was sure she wanted to get married to him. He cares about her, more than that family of hers. Alex was going to reply to her when his phone rang. It was his driver, he thought he was already there but he called to inform Alex that he wouldn’t be getting on time since the roads were busy. It wasn’t so bad since Alex was still discussing with Clara. Besides, he wouldn’t want to talk about that in the presence of a third party. “Ahaan..” Alex replied. It was supposed to make Clara happy but looking at her, he couldn’t find any expression. Clara folded her lips and nodded. “You didn’t tell me about it earlier.” “Come on Clara, I only made the arrangement this evening.” While Clara was preparing, Alex reached out to a lawyer but he needed to hear her condition first. Clara smiled.

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.

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.

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

Did something happen?” Clara questioned genuinely but Mandy cunningly changed the discussion without Clara figuring it out.“Today is a bit boring.”“Yeah, I guess because the evening just started.”

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.

Tell me all you know right now!” she roared and that truly scared Jane.Her desperation has put her in a tight corner. But No matter how long they hid it, Mrs. Peters is Alex’s mum and eventually, she would find out one day.“Speak Jane!” The order came again.Now, Since Jane was shooting her shot also. She would come off as emotional and also behave in all those traits they thought she never had.“Mum, I and Alex had gone our separate ways then, but the truth was that I couldn’t move on. We were so tender to make the right choice and proffer solutions.” Jane began off.Mrs. Peters was losing patience, this wasn’t

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. If she was to choose between Jane and Annie, she would go for Annie.Maybe because she can be able to control Annie and not Jane. Jane always stood out and tried not to impress them or seek their validation of her relationship with Alex.Although both Jane and Annie ticked the boxes and came from prestigious homes, Annie still displayed a little low self-esteem which made Mrs. Peters like her a lot.The call had disconnec
