Later that evening, almost closing time.

Beauty was at her desk, the glow of the computer screen illuminating her face. She can't stop overthinking about how she would go about asking Bruno to accompany her to the high school reunion.

Every time she imagined what his response would be, her pulse raced uncontrollably.

Frustrated, she rested her head on the desk, trying to get rid of it all.

"Can't wait to go home. Somehow, I had successfully managed to avoid breaking down because of Kathy and her sidekicks harsh insults back then in the restroom".

She groaned inwardly.

Slowing, her eyes move over to her computer screen.

"Finally...it's almost time to...go home".

She smiled at herself.

Just then, someone dropped a folder on her desk.

Annoyed by the late work submit, she slowly looks up ready to eat him or her alive, but the person is not a prey for her.

He was, in fact, a predator!

Her heart reaped as soon their eyes met, her cheeks flustered with embarrassment.

  • CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH   A NIGHT WITH HIM

    Beauty barely managed to nod, her mind blank except for the overwhelming presence of him standing there, so close she could smell the faint scent of his cologne. "I-I don't mind," she breathed nervously. She could feel her cheeks burning, her body reacting to every subtle movement of his, every glance that lingered too long. Why does he have to be so close? She was barely holding it together.Bruno's lips parted as if he wanted to say something more, but then he hesitated, his gaze once again landing to her lips before pulling back up to meet her eyes. At this time, she was sure he could hear her heart pounding."Thanks again," he finally said.As he walked away, Beauty exhaled a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding. Her heart was still racing, her hands trembling slightly. She pressed a hand to her chest, trying to calm herself down. The entire interaction had left her breathless and dazed.*What just happened?*Whatever it was, she knew one thing for sure: this night was

    Impulsively, Beauty kicked at the blurred image, so hard.Then she heard a low groan and snapped fully awake, her heart pounding. Rubbed her eyes and blinked rapidly, her vision clearing just in time to see Bruno stumbling back, clutching his nose, his eyes wide with surprise.He was kneeling in front of her, holding a blanket, his nose was bleeding and the blood trickling between his fingers.Beauty panicked.*He only wanted to cover me up, I ...kicked him and made his nose bleed!*"Oh my God!" she yelped, shooting up from the bed. "Sir Bruno, I'm so sorry! Are you okay? Let me help."She offered but he turned her down politely.Bruno grimaced, trying to smile through the pain, though it was clear his nose had taken quite a hit. "It's... it's fine," he managed to say, his voice strained. "I... didn't think you'd wake up so suddenly."That didn't make her feel any better. Her face turned pale, a mix of embarrassment and guilt flooding inside her.*How can he be so calm about it?*She

    Beauty swallowed."I... I... want to continue from where I stopped yesterday".She replied, unable to meet his eye contact, still flustered and embarrassed by the whole thing."It's okay, don't worry, go and rest, I am done with the ones I gave you to work on".He replied.*He worked ok hers while she was fast asleep?*"O...k".Beauty replied sadly about to leave then a sharp gasp, followed by a groan, stopped her.She turned and found him attempting to stop his nosebleed with a few tissues, but he was clearly struggling. The sight of him with blood trickling down made her heart race with a mixture of guilt and something else...something she didn't want to admit.She went to get the first aid box and returned to him, before Bruno could notice.Beauty was right in front of his desk."I... I can help with that," she stammered. She knew it would be risky to be that close to him, but the thought of leaving him to tend to himself felt worse. Plus, this was her fault anyway.Bruno shook h

    Just then Bruno's phone buzzed on his desk, breaking the silence.He glanced at it, then looked back at Beauty."Excuse me for a moment," he murmured softly, stepping aside to take the call, tissue still on his nose.Beauty, still feeling the lingering warmth of their closeness, tried to refocus herself. Then, she couldn't help but notice the way Bruno's voice softened as he answered the phone."Hey," he greeted, his tone gentle and affectionate in a way Beauty had never heard from him before.The tenderness in his voice made her heart drop with jealousy."Yeah, I've been working late... but I'm almost done. Don't worry, I'll be home soon. Love you too"*Did he just say love you too? Who was he talking to? He sounded so sweet, so caring, like he was speaking to someone special. He had someone in his life! Could it be his girlfriend? All my hopes are lost!*Beauty was dead curious to know the caller's identity. She can't help but wonder who had Bruno talking so tenderly, and why it hu

  • CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH   CONFESSION TIME

    However, Beauty didn't respond, she was sad and mad at him for no good reason. Nothing like mood swings at all, for some reason, she is still jealous because of the unknown caller. Besides, her parents traveled again, so he should keep his gifts.Bruno was quite observative, and noticed that she was not in the mood for that conversation. He simply stepped down and went into the mall. After few minutes he came with shopping bags, and he stuffed them into the back seat.The journey continued silently again and was even more awkward than before.Beauty felt stiff and uncomfortable. She didn't want to show her emotions, but it was impossible to keep the bitterness from rushing into her thoughts. And she is also acting rude towards Bruno unintentionally.She noticed the occasional glances Bruno shot her way, sensing something was off.He wasn't good with emotions or reading people...she knew that much...but it seemed even he could tell something was wrong.*You literally ignored his ques

    *Well, I guess I am not on the list, that's why he feels more comfortable talking to me than all the pretty girls at the company. Kathy was right. Here I am thinking I was special because I was able to engage in a conversation with him*Beauty cried inwardly.Her throat tightened, but she forced a smile at Bruno, nodding as if she understood, but inside, her heart was sinking, hurting, breaking!She had hoped for more, maybe even some hidden affection from him, but instead, he friend-zoned her."Thanks," she said quietly, staring out the window to avoid looking at him. She couldn't let him see how much his words had crushed her. *He is not sexually attracted to me.Nothing new Beauty, nothing new. At Least he is being honest*Bruno frowned slightly, sensing her mood didn't change at all in fact she seemed more upset now, he wasn't sure how to address it. He knew so little about these kinds of situations, especially when it came to women. He didn't intend to make her uncomfortable,

    "Beauty, you are impossible, what am I going to do? Apologize? How?"She paced the room, biting her lip, replaying the conversation over and over. But then, something came to mind.Bruno's hoodie and sweatpants!She had completely forgotten to return them. She will use it as an opportunity to apologize and thank him for the other day.Beauty drew a deep breath and looked through the door hole. She could see Bruno still there, staring at the door."I am so disappointed in myself. How can he be this gentleman? I expected him to drive away angrily. Look at him looking like a cute puppy abandoned by his owner. Does he even know that he is Bruno!"She muttered to herself.Without wasting any more time Beauty ran to her room and grabbed the hoodie and rushed outside, her heart pounding even faster now. Bruno was staring off into the distance, lost in thought. She walked up to the car window, tapping on the glass, trying to calm the storm inside her.Bruno rolled down the window, his expres

    The next day, Bruno walked into the company, he was the most punctual as always, but this time he had something on his mind. He glanced towards Beauty's desk.*I guess she will be at work today. I asked her to take a day off after all*He sighed."Good morning, Mr. Handsome!" Someone cuts into his thoughts.Bruno looked up, and his gaze followed the voice.He found Jessie dressed to kill as always.He knew her as a close friend of Beauty, actually her only friend. Also for her similarities with his sister Abigail.*Should I ask her about Beauty? Not a good idea*He nodded at her and she winked back.As wild as always."Good morning, Mr. Bruno!"Another greeting smiling like a fish.That's Miss Charlotte. The main custom designer's assistant, she is always fangirling over Bruno. So he knows better to ignore her and avoid any drama.Bruno simply smiled back and walked into his office.Trying to focus, he went through the typed works yesterday and found some errors from Beauty's works.

    "I am still waiting for your reply," Jessie said, her voice strict."I-I choose to go," Beauty said slowly.Jessie sighed and gave her a hug."I know you can do it," she whispered softly."Thanks, Jessie," Beauty murmured. Just then, Jessie's phone rang. They parted from the hug, and she took her phone from where she had left it on Beauty's bed.She glanced at the screen and saw Bruno's name flashing."Bruno?" she muttered and looked up at Beauty, who immediately felt uncomfortable and opened her mouth to say something."Hold on a sec," Jessie said instead, holding up a finger as she answered the call."Hey, Mr. Bruno, what's up?"Bruno hesitated, as if thinking about what to say."Jessie, I don't know what's going on. Beauty called me about an hour ago and said I shouldn't worry about the reunion. Did I do something wrong? Is she mad at me?"Jessie's eyes widened, and she glanced at Beauty, who was now fid

    The sun was hot in the afternoon when Jessie arrived at Beauty's home, her face brimming with excitement.It's the reunion day, and she seemed more eager than Beauty, herself.Jessie bounded up to the door, pressing the doorbell repeatedly and impatiently.Behind her, Kai, the male makeup artist, stepped out of the car.He wore a fitted pastel pink crop top that hugged his slender frame, paired with high-waisted black trousers that accentuated his long legs.His platinum blonde hair fell in soft waves, framing his delicate features, and his bold, glittery eyeliner made his blue eyes pop. A few playful piercings adorned his ears, perfectly matching his vibrant, flamboyant style.Jessie sighed as she jabbed the doorbell once more."Don't tell me she's developed cold feet. This is not the time to be nervous, Beauty," she muttered under her breath.She pressed the doorbell again, repeatedly.Her phone buzzed in

    When the call connected, the screen flickered to reveal Beyoncé sitting at the head of a large conference table. Around her were several well-dressed individuals, clearly involved in some kind of meeting.Their eyes shifted toward the screen the moment Beauty's face appeared.Beauty nervously straightened up, took a deep breath, and leaned into the screen.She was able to recognize one or two faces in fact all of them!They were her high school classmates.Beyoncé was sitting at the center. She had the most glow up.Her blonde hair cascaded around her shoulders, styled in soft waves that perfectly framed her barbie-like face.She had a flawless complexion, her rosy cheeks accentuating her wide, doll-like eyes. And that low cleavage outfit that proudly announces the fullness and heaviness of her massive bosom. Hiding nothing except the peach center."Beauty! Finally, it's great to see you again...it's been

    Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Bruno ran a hand through his tousled hair, his eyes drifting toward the window.Deep in thought.The anticipation for Beauty's school reunion event stirred a mixture of excitement and anxiety deep inside.Tomorrow is D-Day!The day he will finally confess his feelings.He may go to the Reunion as a fake Boyfriend, but he is going home as a real one.She would say yes... Jessie assured him.He laid back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling.His thoughts were consumed by the memory of how Beauty had looked at him before they said goodbye that evening.He wanted to kiss her but...Bruno let out a slow breath.Tomorrow could change everything or nothing. And that uncertainty was what kept his heart pounding.****Beauty was going through her phone, the tweets about their reunion hashtags were all over the social media platforms.Re

    Abigail rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Ugh, don't even get me started. I'm done with male assistants. Seems like every male assistant is gay and every gay guy available wants to work here for your sake. Very straightforward individuals. I'm tired of it.""Right. So you decided on... her?" He glanced at Chloe, who was still grinning like she was meeting a celebrity.Abigail shrugged. "Why not? She's competent, and unlike the others, she's not here to swoon over you."Bruno looked back at Trivia, smiling sheepishly at him and waving with her face flushed."Very convincing".Bruno replied.Trivia face flushed more red, and she quickly looked down at her tablet, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "I.... I just admire your work, Mr. Bruno," she stammered, "but I promise I'm here to assist Ms. Abigail."Abigail gave Bruno a pointed look, grinning like the cat that got the cream. "See? She's here for me.""Right..." Bruno muttered, unconvinced. He turned and sta

    Bruno pushed open the grand mahogany door of his family mansion, feeling exhausted all over. He dared to make a decision that may likely make his father roar like a wounded lion.But for Beauty...He took a deep breath and made his way across the marble-floored living room. It had been a long, intense day, and all he wanted was some peace and quiet. Unfortunately for him, his sister, Abigail, was seated on the plush, cream-colored sectional, her eyes fixed on her laptop. The soft glow of the screen reflected off the modern, glass coffee table in front of her. She looked up from her work as he walked by, immediately catching a familiar scent in the air."That... feminine perfume?" Abigail raised an eyebrow, closing her laptop slowly. "Bruno, who is she?"Bruno rolled his eyes subtly, too tired to entertain her questions. He simply ignored her and walked toward the hallway that led to his suite. The smell she mentioned was faint but noticeable, a subtle floral scent of Beauty's perf

    "I... am sorry... I need to head out now. I've got some things to take care of before tomorrow," Bruno said softly, his eyes intensely fixed on Beauty, waiting for her reply.She nodded and met his gaze."Okay... thanks again. I appreciate it."Bruno nodded and stood there, staring down at her, his lips slightly parted. Beauty felt her throat tighten at the way he looked at her. It was like he had something more to say or... do with those lips.Jessie, of course, noticed the body language and stepped back with a smile, giving them just enough space but still watching closely.Beauty tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking down at her shoes for a moment before meeting Bruno's gaze again. Their eyes locked for a moment.Finally, Bruno spoke first."I... I will see you tomorrow."Jessie slapped her forehead. "Come on, Mr. Bruno! I think Beauty deserves a proper goodbye. Remember, the sedu-practice the chemistry for the reunion. A hug? A kiss on the cheek? Or something!""Not so e

    As soon as Beauty was close enough, Jessie clasped both sides of Beauty's face, turning it left and right as if inspecting a masterpiece."You look like you just stepped out of a movie! What have you done?!"Jessie snapped.Beauty laughed, a little embarrassed, stepping back shyly."It's just a haircut, Jess. I also had a little makeover, that's all. Stop with the flattering"she blushed."I am serious here girl. You look amazing!" She turned to Bruno, who was standing behind Beauty, watching Beauty with a smile on his face."Bruno, did you see this? Did you actually see how gorgeous she is?!" Jessie teased."She's always been beautiful".he said, giving Beauty a look that made her cheeks warm. "Always been beautiful," Jessie said, imitating Bruno's calm tone."That's all?! I bet you were sitting there in the car, dying inside, trying to act all cool. Look at you.Mr. Cool Guy," Jessie said, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow.Bruno licked his lips, his smile widening as he tuck

    Beauty's breath caught instantly. "I... mean ..I want you to see yourself as a beautiful, gorgeous woman that you are".Bruno added, clenching his fingers tightly inside his pockets."That's all? Please tell me that's not all," Beauty pleaded silently, her eyes focused on him. Her pulse thrummed in her ears, and she couldn't move her eyes away from his.She waited, but nothing more came from his mouth. She had to say something."Thanks...for...everything,Sir...Bruno...Bruno".She stammered."Also...the chocolates... I enjoyed them. Thanks... you're a really nice person," she smiled back at him."It's nothing. My pleasure".Bruno replied and cursed to himself as he held the car door open for her, his heart pounding in his chest. He had wanted to tell her not just how beautiful she looked but how much she meant to him. How much he wanted her. But, as always, the words stayed trapped in his head.What the hell is wrong with him?!"Thank you," Beauty said softly, stepping into the car.
