Business Deal With The Hot CEO Chapter 52
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

Clara collected the empty glass cup from her husband and went to the kitchen to drop it. By the time she came back, Alex had slept off on the sofa.Clara only chuckled. Was he so tired that he couldn't go up? She proceeded to take off his jacket and his briefcase upstairs.When dinner was ready, she would wake him to come and eat.She decided to give Sophia a call like she had wanted, to ask for some advice and also tell her about what was happening.Sadly, Sophia wasn't picking up her calls. So to keep herself busy, Clara decided to apply to more companies, there was no way she would be working for Henry Brown.Just in time, after she was done with everything she wanted to do, the servants came to inform her that dinner was ready.Clara came down to wake Alex up, he seemed so weak but he stood and joined her for their meals after which he slept off right away.Though Clara couldn't place her hands on why Alex acted so weak, she didn’t think about that so much since he had a lot to do

“Mum, why are you here?” Alex asked as he stretched himself.“Do I need permission from my son before visiting?”“That’s not what I mean, Mum,” Alex replied and started coming down the remaining stairs. “You know our whole drama and all that. So, what brings you here?”“I came to see how well the woman you choose for yourself is treating you.” Alex’s mum replied sarcastically while eyeing Clara.“Then no cause for alarm, Mum. Her treatment is exceptional.”Mrs. Peters could only make a mocking face.“Since you are here, let's all have dinner together.” Alex declared and they headed to the dining.“So, Clara, what do you do now?” Mrs. Peters, who has not had any bite, asked Clara.Clara almost threw out the bite of food in her mouth. That caught her unaware. “Nothing much Ma, I make sure to take care of the house,” Clara replied, her eyes really twitching, wondering if anyone knew she was telling a lie or why she was asking.“Do you mean you don't leave the house, even today?” Mrs. Pet

Clara was sure she would not regret her decision. Even if Mrs. Peters didn't ask her, there was no way she would allow Alex and Mr. Peter to keep quarreling.No matter what, he was his father and they should not be on bad terms.“Great to know you will do it. Not like you had a choice!” Mrs. Peters grinned and left the house.She liked dealing with naive people. They would set themselves up without even knowing it. Only if that slut knows better.After Mrs. Peters left, Clara couldn't help but think about the decision she had just made. Was Mrs. Peters to be trusted?What if she does her own side and Mrs. Peters still goes ahead to tell Alex what she knows? But she dismissed the thoughts, telling herself that she was just overthinking.They were both adults and it is only mature for people to take their words seriously and keep to their deals.After thinking about it for a while, she concluded that she would convince Alex as she promised.Clara then hit her hand to her forehead, it mu

“Yes, you both can work together.” Henry began to narrate that since the mistake had been made, they couldn't take one person leaving the other.He went ahead to explain to them how it happened. He thought Clara was not going to show up after her weird behaviors had some signs of indecisiveness in them.So he went ahead and picked Evelyn, she was the most qualified for the job. He had also once mentioned to Clara that they had picked another applicant which Clara very well remembered.“Sir, are you trying to say that I and this bi… would share the work?”“Yes, Evelyn. You and Clara would share that.”“Is this going to affect the pay agreed on initially?” Clara asked. She was more concerned about her duration. According to her first calculation, she would work for Five months to be able to come up with the total amount of money.That was when Henry smiled. “Pay shouldn't be a problem. The company is big enough to double it.” Henry was a little bit sarcastic in his reply but he meant it

Mrs. Peters shut her eyes waiting to fall asleep when she got the message notification from Clara.She grinned and dropped back the phone on the table. “How foolish!” she exclaimed. “So gullible.”It was so bold of Clara to think they indeed had a deal. Her aim was only to get Alex to reconcile with his dad before striking.If she had carried out what she wanted to do with this malice between Mr. Peters and Alex, they might not succeed in convincing him to marry Annie. He would not agree and he might blame them.But after Alex is on good terms with Mr. Peters, she strikes with evidence. Alex would see that his family had been right all along.She turned to the other side of the bed, still on her pillow, what a naive girl! She thought to herself.Clara did not sleep off immediately after sending the message, she stayed awake admiring her husband, her contract-loving husband.She held his cheeks all through till she fell asleep.The next day, Evelyn had gone to work the previous day so

Clara went into the restroom. She breathed out, she had been holding that for a long time.Memory loss? That's bullshit. She didn't know why she said all she had said in there but she didn't regret them.No matter what, she would never forget that she was married and whatever Henry said doesn't matter. After soothing herself, she left the bathroom and went back to his office. Henry Brown had already exited, battling within himself if he overreacted or not.His next step was to find Selene, he prayed to control himself because she was going to tell him why she did all that to her sister.After work that day, Clara went home. She was already Considering quitting this job and looking for another, but it wasn't going to be as easy as she thought. The job Henry offered her means so much to her.Alex kept his promise by going over to see his Dad. He had ignored everything that had to do with him this time. “Dad, are you well?”“Do I look well?” Mr. Peters replied with a question.Alex got

Alex moved into his house. There was no one downstairs. The servants were not around either.He did not want to conclude yet so he decided to go upstairs to Clara’s room. Without knocking, he twisted the door knob.Behold Clara was lying on the bed, asleep. Disappointed, Alex gently closed the door, he wanted to head back to the office and he vowed to deal with his mum later.“Wait,” Clara said to whoever it was on the door and Alex stopped immediately.She then turned around. “ I didn't know it was you, Alex why are you home? Did something happen at work?” Clara asked, so concerned.Alex knew that there was no way he could tell her that he suspected her and that was why he came so he needed to cook up a lie.“I came to pick up a file that I forgot.” He lied.Then Clara rose from the bed, “Have you?”“Unfortunately it seems like I didn't actually forget it. It should be in the office, I will get going now.”Clara nodded while Alex left. She might be overthinking but she noticed an unu

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 decided to see who it was.“Alex?” Sophia mumbled to herself.Curious to know more, Sophia picked up the phone and read all that Alex said, she was so touched. 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.

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. 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.
