Business Deal With The Hot CEO Chapter 46
"Please, give me more time. I don't have a job and I will need to calculate and raise such an amount of money.” Clara tried to plead with Elizabeth because one week was a short period for the amount they were talking about. “There is no extra time, Clara.” After that reply, Elizabeth left her in the middle of nowhere and disappeared. Recollecting herself, Clara reassured herself that whenever it came to her mum, she would do whatever it was to give her a good burial. When Clara got home that day, Alex was already home. He had been waiting for her and wondered where she went. “Did you take a stroll?” There was a bit of delay in Clara’s reply. She had been warned not to tell Alex anything if not her mum’s corpse would be thrown. “No.” she gently replied, shaking her head and avoiding eye contact. Alex waited for her to say something else, where she was coming from or what she went to do, but Clara remained mute. He let that slide and gave her brief details about his day in the o

Clara was devastated hearing what the credit union had to say. How on earth did her mum borrow such an amount of money without telling her? What did her mother use the money for?She couldn't place all that or get the answers to her question. The bills are too much and she doesn't know what to do.“Miss, are you still there?”“Oh, yes, you were saying?”They repeated the statement they made earlier even though Clara had gotten that in the first place.“When should we be expecting it, Miss?”“Soon.” Clara gathered the courage to mumble that. That way she would escape giving them a certain duration. She doesn't even know how soon that will be.After the call disconnected. Clara breathed out, she was lucky to still be in this hideout of hers and was going to her room upstairs.“Soon?” Alex's voice frightened her.Clara was startled for a few seconds. She itched her hair, she didn't expect anyone to hear her or for Alex to be back by this time.“Were you eavesdropping?” She replied, fakin

Henry was carried away by Annie’s perfect body. His hands were beginning to rise and he found himself smiling back at her alluring smile,That reaction alone gave Annie more confidence as she made some more seductive moves.Suddenly, it seemed Henry was able to control himself. He held her wrist from unbuttoning more, “It’s enough.”His voice didn’t sound convincing like that was indeed what he wanted but he said it anyway. “If you don’t leave now, I will call the security.”That had gotten Annie shocked, was he rejecting her right now? His first tone didn’t sound convincing, but the second, he actually wanted her out.She was still going to maintain her elegance instead of having Henry call security, so she stopped. “Have a nice day, CEO Henry. If you have a change of mind, holla me.” She did the call sign by putting her half-folded fist close to her ears.She dropped her card and the hotel she was staying in on the table, quickly adjusted her clothes and hair, flipped her purse bac

Alex exhaled. All he had been taking note of, was his wife's facial expression. She seemed to be in dire need of the money. “If I give you fifty million, is that going to solve everything?” Alex queried her. He wanted her to sort out whatever the problem was once and for all.Even though Clara knew that wouldn't be all. She needed to say yes. Once Elizabeth is settled and she buries her mum, she will find a way to pay back the credit union.“Yes,” she mumbled softly. She couldn't believe Alex was about to give her another fifty million making it a hundred.“Alright. You will have it first thing tomorrow morning, so no need to get a job then right?” Clara knew the question was a trap, so she slightly nodded her head.From there, they went to see some movies together and kept each other company.Selene had told Elizabeth regardless that she was going to meet Annie. Elizabeth only advised her to be smart and careful when dealing with Annie.Even though both of them wanted the same thin

Clara picked herself up and boarded a taxi back home. This time, her mind was blank, no ideas, no plans, nothing.All she wanted was to get home and lay her head on the bed, she needed rest.In the car, while Elizabeth and Selene were on their way. Selene felt a bit of pity for Clara.“Mum, we should have collected it and let her bury her mum. What if she involves Young Master now?”“She dares not, I'm sure she lied to him to get the money, if she does, she would be at risk too for lying.”With that reply, Selene breathed out showing she was satisfied with the answer. Why should she even feel pity for Clara at all when it was her position that Clara was occupying? She is meant to be Alex’s wife.Henry Brown was walking up and down his office. He has been feeling guilty and restless. His assistant has been able to give him a brief history of Clara.However, he still can't connect the dots.

The driver came inside with an umbrella. Alex chose to hold that for his wife and led her to the car.Clara was feeling a little embarrassed. Those servants were something else.When they arrived at the restaurant, Alex opened the door for her and led her in like a queen. He had always permanently reserved the VIP section so that is where he stayed anytime he visited.“Welcome Ma’am, Welcome Sir. Here is your reservation.”“Thank you.”Clara decided to go for cocktails first while waiting for their dishes to be served.When she was about to get so tipsy, their food arrived and she ate hungrily.Henry had no one to prepare dishes for him, he was also a bad cook so most of the time, he ate in fancy restaurants or hotels.He had ordered his food and was eating when he saw a couple playing the lovey-dovey and all that.

Clara stood up to exit the office but the voice ordered her to sit.She made a mistake by not doing thorough research about the company she was applying to.“Mrs. Clara Peters,” Henry called her full name one after the other.A thin line emerged on Clara’s forehead and she realized how much Henry could spill in addition to what happened last night.“Before coming here, I didn't know you were the CEO, now I do, I will get going.” She made sure to avoid eye contact while she spoke to him.“What if I am?” Henry queried her abruptly.“What if I am? What does it change? Does Alex know you have an interview today?”Clara’s eyes blinked the moment Henry pronounced that and Henry smiled knowing he must have gotten her.“Please, do not let Alex know about this. I beg you.” she jammed her hands together and began pleading with him.“What’s all this about?” Henry asked. Clara was so pretty yesterday but now she seemed all troubled and scared. Is her husband not aware of her predicament?Clara kn

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?

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.

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.
