Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss Caleb’s Dilemma
Driven by the vibes that he got from Melanie during their date, Caleb hatches plans to ask Melanie out again as soon as Emma and Alistair leave his office but when Alistair notices how distracted Caleb is, he tells Emma to stop briefing Caleb about the preparations for the next morning’s meeting and that she should come with him to his office because he has something else that he needs her to help him with, just so that he won’t call Caleb out in front of his assistant for being so distracted.Caleb is delighted as Emma and Alistair step out of his office and he fishes out his phone to text his latest catch but when she doesn't reply within one hour, he double-texts her. No reply comes forth after he waits for another 30 minutes, and that makes him groan in frustration. "Did I misread the outcome of the date to think that she is really into me when she is not?" he wonders.Caleb falls into his office chair with fatigue written all over his face.

Melanie doesn’t move from the position that she is glued in, her eyes are darting back and forth trying to figure out what cou

Melanie hesitates to give Caleb an answer because she doesn’t know if meeting up with him will be a good idea or not, but she already sort of agreed to meet up with him even though she didn’t exactly say yes, more so she was the one that reached out first so refusing to meet up will not look well on her path, and a part of her wanted closure, as to the real reason why he unmatched her if he was interested in exploring the possibility of a relationship with her.Caleb unmatching with her bruises her ego so bad, and she finds herself pondering about the pros and cons of meeting up with Caleb for the second time. She doesn’t want to discuss anything about Caleb with her sister again because the attitude she gave when she told her about Caleb unmatching her was not welcoming to her at all, so she decides to text Ryan instead because she feels like she will go crazy if she doesn't talk to somebody soon.“I found Caleb’s number on the dating site and I called him after thinking about if I

Caleb’s phone dings with the text from Melanie and as he reads his text, his eyes narrow, and his mind races as he processes the information because he knows that Bistro Bliss is Ryan’s family restaurant, so he is sure as hell that it can’t be a coincidence, so his gut twists with unease, recalling the growing closeness between Melanie and Ryan.“He is getting too close to her and I don’t like that at all,” Caleb thinks and a pang of jealousy strikes him, so he takes a deep breath for him to analyze his emotion.“I buried myself into so much work that I stopped trying to reach out to her for two weeks which allowed Ryan to plant himself into her life” Caleb’s rational side kicks in.“I should have tried to reach out to her again instead of waiting for her to reply my previous messages, but this meet-up should be an opportunity for me to clear the air about my radio silence, for us both to understand what happened on each other side and also for me to show Ryan that I am still in the

“Sis…can you not be ruled by your emotions?” Kalinin says as she drags Melanie out of the sitting room to talk to her. “Calm down babes…I am not been ruled by my emotions, I just need to put it to her that she doesn't get to walk over my emotions the way she did when I was a child” Melanie tells her sister when she sees that they are out of earshot with their mom. “I don't understand…” Kalinin lets out confused. “Of course you can't, that woman did not bully you when we were growing up, but she bullied me,” Melanie lets out, rolling her eyes. “The woman in question is our mother, and however right you may be, I will not tolerate you speaking to our mom with any form of disrespect whatsoever,” Kalinin warms. “Our beloved mother, president general among the nations is right and I am wrong…satisfied?” Melanie expresses sarcastically, rolling her eyes. “Did you really marry Caleb?” kalin humps straight to asking. “No I didn't,” Melanie tells Kali the truth“If you didn't, then why

Caleb navigates the winding road from his neighborhood to Kalinin’s estate. The drive is quiet, with Melanie trying to get in touch with Olivia, Tony, and her other team members while Caleb focuses on driving because that is his job.The scenery shifts from quaint suburban homes to grand gated mansions. He rolls down his glass to enjoy the fresh air and interfering noises outside since the car is uncomfortably quiet. The air grows thick with the scent of blooming flowers and freshly cut grass, and the sun casts a warm glow over the landscape, illuminating meticulously manicured lawns and sparkling fountains.As they approach Kalinin’s estate, Melanie marvels at the imposing iron gates adorned with intricate designs, because most times when she came to her sister's house, or when she was leaving, she was always occupied with one thing or the other, but now that she is done talking to Olivia and Tony about their next line of action.As they get to Kalinin’s part of the estate, her drive

"Good morning Jenkins," Caleb says, his voice firm and authoritative as he walks out of his room, his phone already in his hands as he speaks to his chief butler. "Good morning, sir...how can I help?" Jenkins asks Caleb. "I need you to mobilize the other stewards to help get my Wife's things out of my car and clear out Benjamin's room have her things relocated to his room and completely change the interior décor of the room to white interior, accompanied by lilac touches, within the next two hours, but make sure that you get it done within two hours," Caleb instructs. "Is there anything else you need me to help you with?" Jenkins inquires as he quickly pens down Caleb's instructions so he won't miss out on any.“Now that I think about it, don’t arrange her things in Benjamin’s room as of yet, just send them to my room first, then when we leave the house, you will pick up her things from my room and place her in Benjamin’s former room,” Caleb adds.“Where should we relocate the se

With that, she puts her ranging thoughts on hold as she settles down to eat her food and finishes it.Immediately Melanie is done with her food, she pushes her plates aside, and her mind starts racing with the thoughts of Caleb’s suggestion once more. She gets up from the table, gathers all her dishes, and takes them to the kitchen where she washes them because she didn’t meet Caleb’s dirt dishes on the sink.Before she finishes washing her dishes, she starts ascending the giant staircase with determination. However, on getting to the end of the staircase, she looks around and remembers that she has never been to his house before.

“Wait, what?” Melanie pauses, as she has just started her meal, and she suddenly pauses, her fork hovering mid-air. Her eyes widen, and she can feel her heart skip a beat. “Are you serious?” she asks Caleb who is busy observing her expression, barely able to believe the words she just heard. The shock is so intense that she almost drops her fork. “Yo…yo…you…I’m kidding,” Caleb lies and Melanie exhales in relief, that she starts massaging her chest that is rising and falling with her palm, as if that will quiet down the thumping of her heart in the rib cage of her chest. “Is that how much pressure the thought of not being married to me brings you?” Caleb throws the question at her because he wants to judge what her reaction will look like when she finally tells him. “Are you joking?” Melanie questions him, after hissing at him. “Or did you think that was funny?” she presses and he just shakes his head. “Ever since I broke up with Alex, the thought of being stuck i

“Before we get into anything serious, do you need something to eat?” Caleb asks because he is starving. “You sent Alistair to deliver me a breakfast platter, so I am still stuffed,” Melanie answers, rubbing the belly part of the free gown that she has on. “I did?” he asks her and Melanie shoots him a confused look. “You didn't?” she questions him. “My bad…I completely forgot about that,” Caleb quickly codes that Alistair just sent the food, to lay the groundwork of what he needs to get used to for him. “Are you sure that you were the one that sent the food?” Melanie starts to doubt as she questions him. “I mentioned it before I went out to indulge myself in an unhealthy amount of alcohol, but I wasn't expecting him to remember to send the food because my mind was just all over the place.” he lies, so that he won't destroy the effort that Alistair put into making Melabie happy, while he was indisposed. “He is that reliable?” Melanie asks suddenly interested in Alistair's persona

Tired of the whole back and forth with Melanie, Caleb’s expression is stern as he looks at Melanie, after dealing with Sophia on the phone. “Stand up,” he says, his voice firm but controlled “What’s going on Caleb?” She asks, but Caleb is in no mood for any conversation again, and he just gestures for her to stand up, but Melanie hesitates for a moment, with her eyes darting back and forth, but then she stands up, her eyes never leaving his face. “Where is this coming from?” Melanie asks, her voice laced with confusion, but Caleb doesn’t respond. Instead, he turns and opens the door, expecting Melanie to follow him. “Come on,” he says, his voice firm. “Where are we going?” She asks but Caleb just keeps on walking. It is until they are outside, walking towards the car, that Caleb finally answers her. “We are going to Ryan’s house,” he says, his voice neutral and Melanie’s eyes widen in shock. “What? Why?” She asks, her voice incredulous but Caleb’s expression did not change. “

“I don’t understand why are being so stubborn and inconsiderate of my feelings, babe,” Caleb says, his eyes flashing with frustration. “I am not being stubborn Caleb, but what part of I don’t want to talk to right now so you do not understand?” Sophia’s eyes narrow. Just as it seems like the argument between Melanie and Caleb is about to escalate, Sophia clears her throat and drops her clutch on the antique glass table. Sophia is dressed to the nines in a sleek black pencil grown and red stilettos heels, her silky black hair cascading down her back. “Caleb, darling… since she doesn’t want to talk to you, I am here ready to talk to you, so let’s catch up because we have so much to talk about!” Sophia exclaims, her eyes lighting up as she sees Caleb’s attention on her, she rushes over to him, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug to mark her territory in front of Melanie. Caleb’s eyes meet Melanie’s over Sophia’s shoulder, and for a moment, they just stare at each other. Mela
